Happy New Year! We’ve had a fun and busy winter so far. Our new customers (one with 2500 employees) are pushing our engineering team hard to support new functionality, and we’re rocking it!

Here are the latest updates:

Employee ID

You can now include an employee ID in your import file. That ID will stick with an employee throughout their life on Blissbook and is included in all reports and exports. If an employee’s email address changes, they’ll still be tracked as the same person. We’ll be migrating even more functionality over to this paradigm as we move along to ensure your data in Blissbook matches how you work in the real world.

SFTP HRIS User Sync

Linking your employee list in Blissbook to your HRIS means adding and removing employees happens automatically. However, some HRIS systems are not API-friendly. That means we can’t program something to link the two, even if we wanted to.

Now, if you have one of these HRIS systems, you don’t have to worry! We can work with your IT team to set up an automatic and secure file transfer. First up is the SFTP format. FTPS (notice the slightly different acronym) is coming very soon!

Signature Image

Does your CEO want to put a real signature on that welcome message? You can now attach an image as a signature so that it shows up exactly how you’d like. Check it out on the Welcome chapter of the Content tab.

Our next update will be a big improvement to the print version of your handbook. Stay tuned!

Last Friday, we talked about a new beginning for Blissbook. Our upcoming release marks the start of that new beginning, so without further adieu, here are the newest Blissbook features. Look for this release to drop within the next 48 hours!

Overhauled Sharing and Access Control

Handbooks now have their own sharing and access control that’s separate from your organization. You can still share something with your entire organization, but you don’t have to.

So go ahead, share your Blissbook with your lawyers or with the HR pro you met at the last SHRM meeting. It’s easy!
