Advanced Automation Bug Fixes

What's New
We fixed an intermittent save error in Advanced Automations that stopped you from saving an Automation after you edited it more than once.
What We Fixed
  • Automation saves no longer fail with an "Auto track ... not found" error.
    The Automation editor now pulls the current version from the server when you open it and again after each save, so it never sends outdated communication data.
  • Removing a communication that is already gone no longer blocks the save.
    The save now completes instead of returning an error.
  • Save errors are readable again.
    When something really is misconfigured, the error names the section you need to fix and lists each problem in plain text, instead of showing a long list of empty bullet points.
  • Editing an Automation that changed elsewhere now tells you.
    If the same Automation was changed in another tab or by another user, you get a clear message instead of a failed save.
Note:
No page reload is needed after a failed save anymore. You can correct the problem and save again right away.

Online Scheduler: Mobile Booking Improvements

What's New
We made another set of fixes to the online scheduler for phones. Booking on a small screen is now easier to read and harder to get wrong.
Why It Matters
Many clients and agents book from a phone. These fixes cut down on mis-taps and accidental date picks, and they make add-on services more visible so they stop getting missed.
Details
  • One week of availability on mobile:
    The scheduler now shows only a single week at a time on phones, regardless of the one, two, or four week setting your company uses. Less scrolling means fewer wrong dates picked by mistake or confused clients looking for next week.
  • No more zoom when typing on iPhone:
    Tapping a form field used to zoom the page and push the edge of the form off screen for the rest of the booking. Fields now stay put.
  • Add-On Services has its own section:
    Add-ons were previously hidden behind the open services list on phone widths making it too easy for clients and agents to miss the field altogether. Add-ons now have a permanent section of their own. On phones it sits below Services. On larger screens it sits beside Services. The add-on selector is disabled until you choose a primary service that has add-ons available.

Note:
No setup is needed. These changes apply to your existing online scheduler automatically.

Available now for all companies using the online scheduler.

Payments & Invoicing

Set a Pay at Close Fee

Pay at Close settings have an updated look, and Pay at Close now includes a Pay at Close Fee you can set for Pay at Close Transaction. When a client chooses Pay at Close at checkout, the fee is added to their total and shown to them as a separate line item.
Screenshot 2026-09-15 at 3
## What's new
  • A Pay at Close Fee you can set.
    Choose an amount in your settings, with a maximum of $100. When a client selects Pay at Close, that amount is added to what they owe.
  • A dedicated Pay at Close settings page.
    Everything for Pay at Close now lives in one place at
    Settings → Payments → Pay at Close
    , split out from the general payments screen.
  • The client sees the fee before they checkout.
    At checkout the fee shows as a
    Pay at Close
    line item, and the summary reflects the full amount owed. No surprise charge after the fact.
Available now for all PAC eligible companies.

Mobile App (iOS/Apple)

Mobile App (Android)

Mobile App Version 10.34.1

What's New
Your mobile app settings now save to your Spectora account instead of to the individual device, so they follow you when you log in somewhere else. This release also fixes a crash that could happen when the app was sent to the background.
Details
  • Settings now sync to your account
    — Settings load from your account when you log in instead of from the device, so they carry across devices and restore after you reinstall the app.
  • Fixed: background crashes
    — Resolved an issue where the app could crash when it was closed or when you switched to another app.
Timing & Audience
Available now on iOS and Android early next week.

Inspection Event End Time Bug Fix

What's New
Fixed a defect on the New Inspection form where adding an inspection event produced an end time that came before the start time.
What We Fixed
  • Inspection Event default end time
    - Adding an event to an inspection starting at 11am would set the end time to 12am instead of one hour after the start, which blocked saving with a confusing error. Event end times are now correctly populated to one hour after the start time.

Online Scheduler: Improvements for the Mobile Experience

What's New
The Online Scheduler is now improved for usability when viewed on a phone. Validation errors show up right at the field that needs attention, the company header starts collapsed so the form is visible immediately, and contact fields pull up the right keyboard and offer autofill.
Why It Matters
Many clients and agents book from a phone. These changes cut down on abandoned bookings and the follow-up calls inspectors field when a client gets stuck.
Details
  • Inline validation errors
    - When a required field is missed, the error now appears at that field, the page scrolls it into view, and the field is highlighted. This also fixes embedded schedulers, where the old error message was drawn off-screen and never seen at all in some cases.
  • Collapsed company header on mobile
    - The company info section now opens collapsed, showing your logo, name, and review stars. A Details button expands it to reveal address, phone, website, sample report, and inspector profiles. The scheduling form is now visible immediately without scrolling.
  • Correct keyboards and autofill
    - Email and phone fields now open the matching keyboard, and name, email, phone, and address fields support one-tap autofill from the phone's saved info.
Note:
More mobile improvements to the Online Scheduler are on the way over the coming weeks.
Timing & Audience
Live now for all companies using the Online Scheduler, on both the hosted scheduler page and schedulers embedded on your website. No setup needed.

Move-In Concierge added to Fixle suite

What's New
Move-In Concierge
, powered by Fixle, is now available. It connects your clients to help with the tasks that pile up between inspection and closing — setting up utilities, internet/TV/phone service, insurance, and home security — at no cost to them.
Why It Matters
Clients get a smoother move-in experience without any extra work from you, and your inspection and report delivery process stays exactly the same.
Details

Mobile App (iOS/Apple)

Mobile App (Android)

Mobile App Version 10.33.0

What We Fixed
  • Missing thumbs up/down icons on reinspection reports
    — The app now shows the category (thumbs up/down) button based on the reinspection's own status options (Resolved, Unsatisfactory, Not Resolved) rather than the original report's defect category count. Reinspections created from reports with multiple defect categories continue to work as before.
  • Change Roles modal showing hidden roles
    — The Change Roles modal no longer includes roles that are hidden or inactive.
Available in mobile app version 10.33.0.

New Order Form: Live Order Summary and Save as Draft

What's New
The right-hand column of the new order form now shows a live summary of the order as you fill it out, replacing the old section navigation buttons. A new
Save as draft
button lets you save an incomplete order without leaving the page.
Why It Matters
You can see at a glance what's been entered and what's still missing, and reference earlier sections while working further down the form. No more scrolling back up to check an address or confirm a price.
Details
  • The right column is wider and still remains pinned while you scroll the form
  • Five section headers with live content:
    Client Details
    ,
    Property Details
    ,
    Agent Details
    ,
    Availability
    ,
    Services
  • Section headers still hyperlink to auto-scroll to that part of the form
  • Sections with nothing entered show
    Not added yet
    so gaps are easy to spot
  • Property Details
    shows the full address along with square footage, year built, and foundation when those values are entered
  • Services
    shows a running line-item table with taxes, discounts, and the order total
  • Availability
    shows the selected date, time with job duration, and assigned inspectors with a
    Primary
    tag
  • Client Details
    and
    Agent Details
    list the first entries with a
    +N more
    indicator when there are additional clients and/or agents
  • New
    Save as draft
    button at the bottom of the column saves the order as a draft and keeps you on the form
  • Drafts still save automatically when you navigate away from a partially filled order form, same as before
image
Note:
The summary panel displays on desktop. On smaller screens the form uses the full width and the panel is hidden.
Timing & Audience
Available now for all users on the new order form.

Add-on services on the Client Portal now support a clickable

    Learn More
    button simply won't appear — no immediate action is required on your part

The button text is fixed to "Learn More" and can't be customized in this release.
  • This release covers the Client Portal only — Online Scheduler support is not included yet

Rolling out 8/20 for all inspectors.
