What’s New — April 17–30, 2026

Improved

  • Reengagement emails now show competitor moves — The 7-day reengagement bullets used to surface review headlines instead of the actual competitor activity you missed. They now lead with releases, website changes, and forum signals.
  • New competitors get real baseline data on day one — When you add a brand-new competitor, Rivale now fetches the readme and changelog directly so the first crawl produces a real “today” snapshot instead of waiting for the next sync.
  • Realtime alert emails for non-website events are tighter — Email notifications for releases, reviews, and forum activity no longer carry leftover website-change filler text.

Fixed

  • Lifecycle emails respect your email opt-out — Trial nudges, reengagement emails, and milestone emails now honor the “email notifications” toggle across all three campaigns. Turning emails off actually turns them off.
  • Beta whitelist lookup is case-insensitive — Signing up with User@Example.com when you were whitelisted as user@example.com no longer skips your beta access. Emails are normalized before the whitelist check.
  • Notifications require at least one frequency — You can no longer enable a notification channel with zero frequencies selected, which previously meant the channel was on but silently sent nothing.
  • Watchdog and digest now agree on who gets a daily digest — The digest watchdog used different eligibility rules than the actual sender, which produced false “missing digest” alerts. They’re now aligned.
  • Lifecycle emails no longer mis-route on email lookup failure — When the email-normalization step failed, the system used to continue with the wrong identity. It now skips the event instead of risking sending to the wrong person.
