I hope things are going well in your community and that the rest of 2026 is looking exciting!
This time, we’ve improved and fine-tuned how you manage meetings and events, helping you work a little more efficiently while still giving members a professional experience.
Shared meetings across groups
Meetings can now be linked to several groups, all groups or no group at all. If you currently have a shared group containing everyone in your community, you can delete it and create future meetings for All groups instead.

Invite several members at once
You can now paste an entire list of email addresses directly from Outlook or another email client. Samli separates the addresses and helps you spot any that may have been entered incorrectly.
Before inviting the new members, you can also quickly add their contact details, saving you from having to find and edit each member individually afterwards.
Choose whether to notify participants when the meeting time changes
Participants don’t always need to be notified when you update a meeting. Correcting a spelling mistake, for example, shouldn’t have to disturb everyone.
You can now decide whether participants should be notified about a change. You can also include a personal message in the notification to explain what changed and why.
More improvements
- Events can now have a price without requiring Stripe to be set up.
- Events can be hidden or permanently deleted when the participant list is empty.

What’s coming next?
We’re working hard on the new CRM module, which will help you keep track of members through notes and tasks. You’ll also be able to manage other people connected to your community, such as guests and speakers. It’s being built right now, so please reach out if you have any questions or suggestions.
The module will let you manage notes, tasks and reminders, assign responsibility, categorise people and view member activity such as meeting attendance.
