Weekly Patch - August 9, 2026
Onboarding/Recruiting
Joining a project with SSO now works from long recruitment links
What we fixed: If you had a URL recruitment set up and someone signed in with SSO right from that recruitment page, they'd get bounced to our "no page exists at your destination address" error page instead of being joined to the project. Not exactly the warm welcome we were going for. Behind the scenes, the link they were sent to after signing in wasn't being recognized properly because of its length, so the whole join stalled out before the application survey ever loaded. We've corrected the routing, so those links resolve the way they should have all along.
See it in action:
- Head to a project with a URL recruitment set up with a key over 40 characters, the kind with a custom link like
yoursite.com/your-recruitment-name. - Open that recruitment link in a fresh browser, or an incognito window, so you're starting signed out.
- Sign in using SSO from the recruitment page.
- You'll land right where you should, moving into the project's application survey instead of an error page. 🎉
Good to know: This showed up most often on recruitments with longer, multi-word keys, but the fix covers all of them. If anyone reported a "bomb error" when trying to join through a recruitment link, this was almost certainly the culprit, and it's worth letting them know they can try again.
Your "send without an opportunity link" confirmation now sticks
What we fixed: When you send a recruitment email that uses the %OPPORTUNITYURL% tag, you have to check Allow email to send without an opportunity link to move forward. Trouble was, if you then hit the recipient-count validation error on the preview page, that checkbox quietly forgot you'd ever confirmed it. You'd fix the recipient count, hit send again, and get blocked by an opportunity-link error, with no way forward except backing up a page and re-checking the box. We've fixed that, so your confirmation carries through.
See it in action:
- Create or open a recruitment email that uses the
%OPPORTUNITYURL%tag with a custom footer. - Check Allow email to send without an opportunity link and continue to the preview page.
- Click send without confirming your recipient count first, so you trigger the validation error on purpose. (Yes, we're asking you to break it. Live a little.)
- Now confirm your recipient count and send again. It goes through, with no second detour back to re-check that box. 🎉
Good to know: Nothing about how the email itself sends has changed here. This is purely about the confirmation sticking around so you're not stuck in a loop on the preview page.
