Automation Email System Improvements

Your email automations just got smarter, safer, and easier to trust. You now have more control over when automation emails go out and who keeps receiving them, so your audience gets the right message at the right time and nothing they no longer need.
How it Works
  • Pause and resume:
    Hold a published automation in place without unpublishing it. Sends stop while it's paused, and Contacts pick up where they left off when you resume. Open the automation and select
    Paused
    from the status dropdown.
  • Exit conditions:
    Stop the rest of a flow once a Contact no longer needs it, like when they buy, so buyers stop getting "please buy" emails. Open the automation and click the gear icon (
    Automation settings
    ), then add a condition under
    Exit conditions
    .
  • Recipient Timezones:
    Send automation emails at the time each Contact is most likely to read them.

Link by Stripe is now live for everyone using Kajabi Payments. If your buyers have ever abandoned a checkout because they had to re-type their card details, this one’s for you.
commerce-prd-link-payment-method
How it works:
Link is a digital wallet built by Stripe. Customers who already have a Link account can pay without re-typing their card details, and Link autofills right inside your existing checkout. No new page, no redirect.
Link isn’t on by default. You choose where it shows up by turning it on for each offer, cart, or invoice. Link follows card, so if card is disabled, Link is too. US Heroes can also accept Link instant bank payments, which are priced below card processing.
How to access it
Open an offer, cart, or invoice and turn on Link under Additional payment options.
Resources
Give customers a reason to stay before they walk out the door. Cancellation Discounts are now live, meeting subscribers with an offer the moment they try to cancel instead of just letting them go.
How it works
When a customer starts to cancel a subscription, they see a discount offer with the title and message you wrote, showing the discounted price alongside their current price with a line through it. They can accept the offer and keep their subscription at the lower price for the number of payments you set, or continue with cancelling. The discount is only shown if it would actually save them money, so a customer with a better coupon already applied won't see a worse offer.
Where to turn it on
Go to Settings > Customer Payments and turn on Offer discount before cancellation (requires Enable customers to self-cancel their subscriptions to also be on). Set your discount percentage, the number of payments it applies to, and optionally restrict it to once per customer per subscription. Available for subscriptions paid through Kajabi Payments only.
Resources
Let customers pause their own subscription instead of cancelling. Customer self-pause is now live, giving members a self-serve break so cancellation isn't their only option when they need to step away.
How it works
From their Billing page, a customer selects Pause subscription and picks how long to pause for. The pause takes effect at the end of their current billing cycle, so they keep access through what they've already paid for, then resumes automatically on the date they chose (or they can resume manually anytime if no end date is set). While paused, no payments are charged.
Where to turn it on
Go to Settings > Customer Payments and turn on Enable customers to pause their subscriptions. From there you can set a maximum pause duration and limit how many times a customer can pause in a year. Available for subscriptions paid through Kajabi Payments and Stripe (not PayPal, and not payment plans).

Branded Mobile App & Kajabi Mobile App
  • Rollout began on September 8th and all updates were live by Sept 11th
Android 4.16.0
Enhancements
  • Reply in threads inside direct messages. See how many replies a message has, open the thread, and reply there. You can also send your reply to the main conversation at the same time.
  • "New Challenge" announcements in your community now have a tappable "Join now" link that takes you straight to the challenge.
Bugfixes
  • Long-pressing a message in a direct message now reliably opens the Copy, Edit, Delete and Reply menu.
  • Removing a photo or file while it is still uploading no longer leaves the Send button stuck.
  • Challenge pages open more reliably, and you now see a message if something cannot be opened
iOS 4.16.0
Enhancements
  • Direct messages show every attachment. PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, audio files, and any attachment after the first now appear in the conversation instead of an empty bubble. Tap a file to open it, or tap a photo to view it full screen and swipe through the others in that message.
  • Thread replies show up in your DMs. When someone replies in a thread and chooses "Also send to DM", the reply now appears in the DM conversation. Threads read like a conversation, and you can reply from inside one with the same "Also send to DM" option.
Bugfixes
  • The DM composer works at larger text sizes.
  • Camera and microphone work in community live rooms. Joining a live room or meetup from the community no longer shows a black video tile with no mic. Video no longer freezes on a single frame or shows backwards controls in the preview.
  • Live rooms open more reliably. The live room now opens inside the community itself, so it keeps working for communities that have moved to the new video provider.
  • Meetup chat links keep you in the meetup. Opening an image or link from meetup chat shows it in a pop-over instead of taking you out of the live meetup. Rolling out gradually.
Automation emails are catching up to broadcasts and sequences. You can design a branded email inside a "Send an email" node, see how each automation email is performing on the canvas, and turn a single email off without deleting it.

The Payment balance summary by month report is now live for everyone using Kajabi Payments. If you've ever tried to answer "what did I actually earn last month" by exporting transactions and adding up columns by hand, this one's for you.
image
How it works:
For each month in the range you choose, the report shows your opening balance, your closing balance, and the activity that moved it between them, including charges, refunds, fees, and payouts. Set your date range and download it to hand off to a bookkeeper or file with your books.
How to access it
Go to

Duration pausing is now live. Pausing a customer's subscription or payment plan used to mean tracking the return date yourself and remembering to resume. Now you can set the date up front and let Kajabi handle it.
image
What's Changed
A new Pause until a specific date option lets you pick a resume date, and Kajabi restarts billing automatically when it arrives
You can change the resume date without resuming and re-pausing first
Available for subscriptions and payment plans processed through Kajabi Payments or Stripe
Where to access it:
Open the subscription or payment plan, click More Actions (…), and select Pause Payments
Resources
Pay off payment plans early using Kajabi Payments! If you've ever had a customer ask to settle their remaining balance and then had to handle it manually outside Kajabi, this one's for you.
image
How it works:
You can now collect the full remaining balance on an active payment plan in a single charge, with the option to apply a discount first as an incentive to pay off early. Once the charge goes through, the remaining installments are cancelled and the plan moves to Completed.
How to access it
Open any contact, go to their Purchases tab, select the payment plan, click More Actions, and select Pay off payment plan. You can also get there from Sales → Payment Plans.
Resources
Walk your entire buying experience the way a customer would, from the checkout page through order bumps, upsells, account setup, and the post-purchase page, without processing a real transaction. Nothing is charged, no member or contact is created, and no emails, automations, or webhooks fire.
image
How it works
Click Preview on any offer and your real checkout page opens in test mode. Payment fields are optional, so you can submit without a card, and a
Preview & test
toolbar tracks your progress through each step of the flow.
At the end, a summary shows exactly what would have happened: every offer granted, email sent, automation triggered, and webhook fired, each linked to the setting behind it so anything that looks wrong takes one click to fix.
Available on offers using enhanced checkout.
