User Email Logs in the Platform

Ever had a user reach out saying they never received a sign-in email? Now, you can view email log activity on a per-user basis! Simply click on a user in the Rownd platform and scroll to “Email Logs” to check the status of their sign-in emails.

Rownd Domains for Sub-Brands

Managing sub-brands just got easier! You can now assign unique Rownd subdomains to sub-brands and app variants. Plus, you can still add custom subdomains to your app directly from the Settings page (previously found in Mobile App Settings).

Support Email Reply-To

Stay in the loop with user sign-in questions! When you add your company’s support email in Rownd, it will now be used as the reply-to address for sign-in and support-related emails. That way, any responses go straight to your inbox.

Ability to Disable “Sign In Faster with Google” (SIFWG)

By default, Rownd helps email-based users sign in faster by automatically linking their Google accounts. But we’ve heard your feedback—there are cases where this flow isn’t ideal. Now, you can disable SIFWG in the Google Sign-in Method settings on the Sign-in Method page.
