We've been busy building features that help teams celebrate their people and streamline administration. Here's everything in our latest release.
Moments: Automatic Team Celebrations
The biggest addition in this release is Moments — a brand-new program type that automatically recognizes and announces team milestones like birthdays, work anniversaries, and new hire welcomes.
How it works:
- Administrators configure celebration types with custom names, emojis, and trigger rules
- Celebrations post automatically to your designated Slack or Teams channel at a time and timezone you choose
- Recurring celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries) fire annually; one-time celebrations (new hire welcomes) trigger within a date range
- Work anniversaries can display tenure years (e.g., "Celebrating 5 years!")
- Weekend celebrations are optionally batched into a single Monday post
Each team member has personal settings to opt in or out of being featured in celebrations, giving everyone control over their visibility.
Administrators get an analytics dashboard showing celebration counts and engagement, plus a live preview of celebration cards before they go out.
HRIS Field Mapping
Organizations can now map fields from their HRIS system to custom CoffeePals attributes. This means employee data like department, location, start date, and manager flows in automatically — no manual data entry required.
A new guided setup flow walks administrators through connecting their HRIS and mapping the right fields.
Frontend Performance Improvements
Several pages now load significantly faster:
- Program user lists — optimized queries and rendering for large teams
- Match history — faster loading with smarter pagination
- Organization user list — improved search and reduced unnecessary re-renders
Under the Hood
- Upgraded several dependencies to address security vulnerabilities
- Various bug fixes across the platform
Want to try Moments for your team? Head to your CoffeePals dashboard and create a new Moments program to get started.
