Notification preferences

We’ve added user-level notification preferences in Campfront, giving each admin more control over how and when they’re notified.

From preferences (accessible via the three-dot menu), users can choose notification settings by functional area for both campers and staff. Each area can be set to none, instant, or daily digest, allowing you to receive immediate alerts or a single daily summary email.

Notifications can also be scoped based on responsibility. You can choose to be notified about all activity, or only updates related to campers, families, or staff assigned to you using the existing assignment functionality.

These preferences apply separately across camper and staff areas and are role-based. Users will only see and manage notification settings for areas they have permission to access (for example, medical notifications are only available to users with medical access).

Log external communications

We’ve expanded the activity log across camper, staff, and parent profiles to provide a clearer, more complete view of all interactions.

You can now manually log external communications directly against a profile using the new add (+) button in the activity panel. Record inbound or outbound interactions such as phone calls, text messages, emails, or any communication that happened outside of Campfront, along with notes for context.

The activity log has also been enhanced with improved filtering and new tabs, including calls and an expanded emails view. The Emails tab now shows both system-generated and manually logged emails. For system emails, you can click into an entry to preview the message in a slide-out panel and see delivery and open status.

These updates make it easier to track communication history in one place and ensure nothing gets missed.

Managing your staffing recruitment fees

We’ve added a new recruitment fees panel to the information tab on staff profiles, making it easier to track costs associated with individual hires.

The panel works similarly to additional compensation in contracts, allowing you to log recruitment-related fees such as agency costs, transport fees, or any other custom recruitment expenses. Each fee type added is automatically created as a filterable column in the staff table.

This update gives camps a clear, central place to record recruitment costs and makes it easier to report on.
