New Additions

On Form Process Area for PHP Scripts

You can now add custom PHP scripts to process form data before submission. This allows you to perform advanced calculations, validate user input, or modify form values dynamically, giving you more control over how data is handled.

Embed Campaign Block in Free Version

The Embed Campaign block is now available to all users, making it easier to embed campaigns on your site’s posts and pages without requiring the premium version. This means more flexibility in creating engaging campaigns at no additional cost.

Export Submissions

A new “Export Submissions” button has been added to the FireBox > Submissions page. With just one click, you can download all form entries for further analysis or record-keeping, making data management much more convenient.

Support for YouTube Shorts

The Video block now supports embedding YouTube Shorts. Simply add the URL of a YouTube Short, and it will be displayed within your campaign, expanding your content possibilities.

Improvements & Bug Fixes

In this update, we’ve improved and addressed a few issues to improve your experience with FireBox:

  • New Conversion Event – A JavaScript event triggers when “Track conversion” is enabled in Buttons and Image blocks.
  • Smart Tags Improvement – The –excludeshipping option lets users exclude shipping totals from Easy Digital Downloads/WooCommerce Smart Tags.
  • Fixed EDD/WooCommerce Conditions – The quantity in “Products in Cart” conditions wasn’t visible and couldn’t be set.
  • Enhanced Compatibility – FireBox now works with AcyMailing v10.
  • More Reliable Actions – Fixed cases where Actions might not trigger due to third-party plugins interfering.

These fixes aim to enhance functionality and ensure a smoother user experience. If you encounter any other issues, please let us know so we can continue to improve FireBox.
