Release 152
Lotteries, email versions and account deletion
Collect applications, then draw your participants by lot. Prepare an email as a draft before publishing it. A participant erases their data without going through support.
Open a lottery on a high-demand race
When a race sells out in minutes, you can now replace the opening rush with a lottery. You choose the application dates, the information requested, the maximum group size and the rules: the Miles Republic rules, prefilled with your event, or your own as a PDF.
During the application period, the race is closed to the public. Your participants apply alone, for someone else or as a group, without creating an account, and find their application in “My applications”. Once applications close, “Draw lots” allocates the places: every application has the same chance, and a group is never split. Nothing is sent until you click “Send invitations”: each drawn person then receives a personal invitation to register within the chosen deadline (72 hours by default).
You then follow declined or expired invitations, and put unconfirmed places back into circulation. When the draws are over, applicants without a place are notified.
To get started: Configuration › Lists, then « Add a lottery ».
Prepare your emails as drafts, then publish them
Your changes in the Email studio are now saved as a draft: your participants keep receiving the live version until you click “Publish”.
The “Version history” lists every published version, with its number of sends, and lets you restore one. From the preview of a send, you see which version the participant received.
To get started: Configuration › Email studio.
Your participants delete their own account
A participant can now delete their account from their profile. Their registrations stay in your participant list, without their identity (“Participant”). Deletion is refused while they are registered for an upcoming race.
Supporting document files (medical certificates, PPS, parental authorisations) are now deleted 3 months after the race. The document status remains visible on the participant's record.
