We have enhanced bulk outreach workflows to improve documentation and ensure outreach efforts are consistently tracked for every child included.
What is new:
When a user generates a Bulk Outreach Letter (print) or Email, Binti will now automatically create a contact log for each child listed in the outreach.
This applies whether or not selected-children merge fields were used
How it is stored:
The outreach is stored as one contact record, even though it appears in each child’s Relationships dashboard.
Additional behavior for new recipients:
If the recipient is not already connected to a listed sibling, a new Contact Log entry will still be created for that child.
The recipient will also be added as a Potential Connection for that sibling and the relationship description will default to “Unknown.”
Users can update, reclassify, or remove the relationship from the Potential Connections tab at any time.
This enhancement ensures bulk outreach efforts are automatically documented, visible across siblings, and aligned with your kinship engagement workflow.

We’ve improved how the system handles errors when updating worker assignments in our API.
Previously, if someone tried to assign a worker to an outdated application (not the most recent one in a family’s renewal chain), they’d get a confusing error message. Now, the error clearly explains that you can only update worker assignments on the newest application in the sequence.
Additionally, we’ve made a behind-the-scenes improvement to how the system finds and links related applications. This makes things more accurate and helps avoid potential performance issues in large environments.
