Astral Send
Version History
Current Version
Version 4.6.24.4
New Functionality
We have added the ability to set a new "BCC Emails To" field in the "Source No. Rules".
A Report Batch can now be configured with a Job Queue Entry, with the ability to pre-set Report Options. The process of setting the report options will recognise where a date is entered, and if the date is equal to TODAY or WORKDATE, it will ask if you want to store a TODAY or WORKDATE placeholder instead of the date entered. This means that the Job Queue can be configured to automatically send, for example, the Customer Statement report weekly where the Customer balance is > 0. Since Astral Send can be configured to send any report by email, we are sure that this new feature will be a welcome addition.
In previous releases (prior to the AppSource version) there was the ability to define a "Number Sent Field No." field, rather than use the standard "No. Printed" field. We have now added this functionality to the AppSource release. So if you were to add a "No. Sent" integer field to, for example, the "Sales Inv. Header" table via your own Per Tenant Extension, the new field can be assigned in the Astral Send Report Config, and its value will be auto-incremented when a Sales Invoice is sent.
We added a "Main Setup Footer exists" calculated field in the report config. to make it more visible where the email footer will be taken from.
When sending a document batch, we added a check to request confirmation if the WORKDATE is different from TODAY. Some users had bespoke Customer Statements that used WORKDATE within the Date Filter, and occasionally incorrectly sent out statements As At Month End rather than As At a couple of days after!
The extension now targets Business Central version 24. The previous release targeted version 22. Note however that the previous release was already fully compatible with the upcoming Business Central version 25.

Older Versions
New Functionality
The extension targets Business Central version 19 but is compatible with version 20.
It is now possible to store the generated reports in Azure Blob Storage.
We added a description field to the Report Configs. It was possible to create two Report Configs that use the same Report ID (where different email messages are required) but when running a batch and selecting the Report Config, it wasn't easily identifiable as to which one was which.
The extension is now available in Malta.
Issue Resolutions
The extension is now fully compatible with the upcoming version 20 release of Business Central. Note that for the extension to be compatible, we had to remove all references to the older "SMTP Mail Setup" table and related objects. Please ensure that you have set up Email Accounts within Business Central.
