GoW May Updates

Hello everyone, hope you all had an awesome May, maybe having more days with less Covid news 😁

On May my main priorities were Teams and Discord integrations. Teams feature has a little more gap to fill but the majority of the job has been completed. Let's wrap up what has transpired during the last month.

⭕ You can now set whole different subset of recruitment rules for your teams including flows, minimum level, item level, spots and questions. Questions module now support binding to teams directly. You can also enable a setting for using your guild questions apart from team questions. Just navigate to your team management detail page and toggle recruitment for additional settings.

⭕ Team page shows your recruitment section and applying navigates to that team's specific recruitment page. Later players can change their recruitment target if you have at least one team open for recruitment. Also highlighted teams on guild home page display an Apply button for recruitment enabled ones.

Now following scenarios are being supported;

⭕ You have a generic guild recruitment without any recruiting team,

⭕ You can have a generic guild recruitment with one or more specified recruiting teams,

⭕ You can disable guild recruitment and force applying to teams only.

Additionally for teams;

⭕ Last sync time and sync button is added to team page for guildies,

⭕ Exporting to excel button is added to team page for guildies,

⭕ Now recruitment module shows recruiting teams (if any) as tabs on homepage recruitment module,

⭕ You can hide team detail pages and prevent being visible on reports. This setting can especially be useful for management teams,

⭕ Guild header shows Apply button instead of guild chat button all the time, regardless of visitor being a guild member or not,

⭕ Some UI fixes about team recruitment have been implemented.

⭕ You can now create team-bound posts. These posts will also be displayed on team detail page in addition to guild posts section. You can target only team members as audience for these type of posts for privacy and notifications. https://guildsofwow.com/manage/posts

⭕ You can also bind webhooks with teams. So you can target specific channels for each of your teams separately. While sending webhooks, if system finds a team-bound webhook then default guild webhooks will be ignored.

And here comes the beloved Discord bot 😁 It's quite new but some guilds started to experience it. IMO it is nailing it's purpose right now but there are some more features to be developed of course.

⭕ Apart from site and in-game calendar, players can now use Discord bot for setting their event RSVPs,

⭕ These attendances will sync back to GoW bidirectional and will reflect to in-game calendar if sync client is set up,

⭕ Attendees show tentative, late status and audit gear penalties with different emojis,

⭕ Discord bots are available for all Tier 2+ guilds.

In order to setup Discord bot, visit Bots & Webhooks page and simply follow the instructions on Bots section. https://guildsofwow.com/manage/bots-and-webhooks

TBC Classic launch was perfect and I've also started to level my char 🥳 Only thing that bothered my mind was to see Blizzard not having a plan for TBCC APIs. That's quite sadge but it's what's right now. Let's hope they put Classic APIs into their pipelines in the future. 

That's all for May. Don't forget to follow Discord channel for following frequent updates and more 🙂
