Choose Your Default Comment View
You now have control over which comment type appears first in the report editor: Defects or Informational Comments.
This update restores flexibility for inspectors who rely on Informational Comments to organize their thoughts or write chronologically, as well as for inspectors who requested that Defect Comments be displayed first.
Now you can:
- 🧠 Set your preferred default tab for Comments
- 🔄 Switch back to Informational-first if that fits your flow better
To update your preference
:- Click the ⚙️ gear icon at the top of the Comments section.
- Select Editor Preferences.
- Use the Default Selected Tab dropdown to choose what you’d like to see first.

Send multiple communications per automation
We are rolling out a new feature for Advanced Automations over the next week. You will have the ability to send multiple (up to 10) different messages with a single automation configuration. These messages can be any combination of recipients and/or communication types.
This opens up the opportunity for consolidating your automations for easier management and other creative automated messaging options such as a series of communications designed for keeping you top of mind for your referring agents or clients that may need additional services down the road.
How can I use it
Once you have added your first communication (email, text, or webhook) you will see a new button in the
Do This
section labeled
From here you can choose to add another email, text, or webhook to be sent based on the same trigger and set of conditions. Each of the communications can have their own timing offset and settings.
The table view of Automations also has been updated to notate all the types of communication associated with the Automation.
There is also a new filter for Communication Type to make it easier to find specific automations including ones with multiple communication types.
Note:
The individual communications will still show as separate Actions under
Preview Actions
and on the Inspection Details

Advanced Automations Presets Library
Over the next few days we are rolling out a new option called Presets Library in the Advanced Automations (previously known as Actions) builder.
Presets allows you with very minimal effort and time to setup a high quality automation messages for common scenarios. These include add-on service upsells, review requests and 3rd party services notifications to start. The library will be further updated as we populate more high value automation presets (including sms text versions) in the future.
- You can access the library right from your Advanced Automations page via the new Presets Librarytab.
- Once you find the one you want you can choose to learn more about what it does and what you need to use it or you can jump right in and click Use Preset.
- Clicking Use Preset takes you directly into the new Automation builder with all the details filled out for you. All of these are still customizable of course so you can use these as they are setup or just as a great starting point.
- Remember to take a look a the contents of the email messages before using them to make sure the messaging aligns with what you want to send out and delete any instructional text highlighted in yellow.
