What's New on Delightree

Franchise teams move fast, and so do we. These updates are powered by your feedback, real use in the field, and a shared obsession with doing things better.

Delightree product release notes for January 2026
Integrations

Zapier Integration
Delightree now offers a native integration with Zapier, so customers can connect Delightree to thousands of other tools without custom development. Zapier works as the bridge between Delightree and systems like HR platforms, CRMs, spreadsheets, and BI tools.


What’s new:
Delightree now supports Zapier with a standardized set of triggers and actions that let data move between Delightree and other systems. Triggers include key events like when a new user is created, a new location is added, or when analytics and KPI data becomes available, so teams can automatically push that information into tools like Google Sheets, Salesforce, or Power BI.

This release also introduces actions that allow external systems to create or update users and locations inside Delightree, for example automatically creating a new employee in Delightree when they are added in an HR platform.

Phase 1 focuses on the most common automation needs, including user sync, location sync, and exporting analytics data, establishing a stable self-serve foundation customers can start using immediately.


Why it matters:
Zapier dramatically expands Delightree’s integration surface area. Operations and IT teams can automate the “busywork” flows that typically end up in spreadsheets or one-off integration projects, which improves data consistency, reduces manual exports, and makes Delightree easier to operationalize across larger systems.


Prep notes for admins:
No action is required if you do not plan to use Zapier. If you do, authenticate Delightree in Zapier, then create Zaps to define the data flow, including any field mapping. Everything is optional and only applies to customers who actively enable and configure Zapier.

Zenoti Integration
Delightree now supports a native one-way integration that provisions and deprovisions users from Delightree into Zenoti. Admins connect Zenoti from the Marketplace, configure mappings and rules, then sync users in bulk or individually.


What’s new:
Delightree now includes a native Zenoti integration that lets admins provision and deprovision users in Zenoti directly from Delightree. After connecting Zenoti, admins can configure attribute mappings, define provisioning rules, and initiate syncs either in bulk or one user at a time.

Eligibility can be controlled using practical operational signals like role, user level, task completion, training completion, and launch milestones, so teams can decide exactly who should be created in Zenoti and when. During provisioning, Delightree updates the user’s status for visibility and detects duplicates using Zenoti’s API responses, so existing Zenoti users are handled cleanly without manual troubleshooting.


Why it matters:
Franchises using Zenoti no longer need to create employees twice. HQ admins and brand operators can manage onboarding and offboarding in Delightree while keeping Zenoti aligned, which reduces manual labor, prevents data inconsistencies, and helps new locations ramp faster since training paths and launch tasks can automatically qualify users for Zenoti creation.


Prep notes for admins:
No changes are required if you are not using Zenoti. If you plan to enable the integration, make sure the correct Zenoti authentication credentials are available, then confirm your attribute mappings before running a bulk sync. You will also want to validate that required employee fields are present in Delightree to avoid provisioning failures.


How it affects existing workflows:
Nothing changes unless Zenoti is connected. Once enabled, user onboarding in Delightree gains an optional provisioning step, and deprovisioning in Delightree will revoke access in Zenoti as well, improving operational consistency and compliance.

Search

Voice Search
Delightree Search now supports voice input, so users can speak their search instead of typing. A microphone button appears inside the search bar, converts speech to text, then runs the search as normal.


What’s new:
Voice search is now available across Delightree. Users will see a new microphone icon in the search bar, and tapping it lets them say what they are looking for out loud. Delightree converts the spoken phrase into text automatically, which means users can search without needing to stop, type, or switch contexts.


Why it matters:
This is a big quality-of-life win for deskless teams. Field staff are often on the move, wearing gloves, carrying equipment, or juggling tasks on-site, so typing is friction. Voice search makes finding answers faster and more accessible in the environments where Delightree actually gets used.


Prep notes for admins:
None. Voice search works out of the box as soon as it rolls out. Users simply tap the microphone icon and start speaking.

Homepage

Customizable Homepage Builder

1. What Changed
Delightree now includes a visual Homepage Builder that lets Admins configure role‑based homepage layouts using a library of widgets. Admins can arrange widgets, then assign layouts at the job or user level.
Widgets automatically render data based on user permissions and include actionable components across Tasks, Trainings, Checklists, Compliance, Chats, Analytics, and Knowledge Base.


2. How It Impacts Users
All users land on a homepage tailored specifically to their role, increasing clarity and reducing time spent navigating between modules.
Staff members see their tasks, trainings, and checklists surfaced immediately, while admins see compliance, performance, and approvals.
The experience feels more guided, and key actions become more visible. This also improves adoption of modules that some customers previously underutilized.


3. What Users Need to Do to Prepare
Before using the Homepage Builder, Admins should think about how different roles in their organization work and what information each role needs to see first when they log in. This feature is role-based, so preparation starts with understanding which job roles should have different homepage experiences, such as frontline staff, location managers, or corporate admins.


No action is required from end users. Once a homepage layout is assigned, users will automatically see their new homepage the next time they log in, without needing to change any settings themselves.

Locations & Organizational Structure

Location Groups, Ownership Groups, and Service Area Tagging

1. What Changed
This release introduces a multi‑layered organizational model by adding Location Groups, Ownership Groups, and optional Service Area Tagging.
Location Groups are non-operational containers that sit above individual locations and allow franchisors to group markets, regions, or brands while enabling inheritance of workflows and documents.


Ownership Groups formally represent the legal entities that own one or more franchise locations and centralize ownership data, documentation, and rights management. When an Ownership Group is associated with a Location Group, all child locations inherit that ownership by default.


Service Area Tagging establishes a flexible territory‑based segmentation layer that is separate from ZIP codes and can be enabled per brand.
All three components were designed to preserve backward compatibility for customers that operate exclusively with a single‑level location structure.


2. How It Impacts Users
HQ Admins gain a significantly clearer and more scalable way to manage complex franchise networks. Instead of attaching owners to each location individually, they now manage ownership at the legal‑entity level and let associations cascade automatically.


Franchise Operations leaders, FBCs, and regional managers receive improved reporting visibility because progress, compliance, and launch metrics can now roll up to Location Groups or Ownership Groups. This is especially beneficial for multi‑brand operators or groups with large ownership entities.
Day‑to‑day users at the location level continue operating as usual but benefit from cleaner data inheritance and consistent access control.


3. What Users Need to Do to Prepare
Admins should review their current ownership and grouping structure and determine how Ownership Groups or Location Groups should be created upon  rollout.


Brands enabling Service Area Tagging may need to prepare a definitive list of territories and ensure service areas assigned to locations remain subsets of group‑level definitions.

Terminated and Archived Locations

1. What Changed
This update gives franchisors a safe, controlled way to handle closed or temporarily inactive locations without breaking their system or losing important data.


Before this change, closed locations often created problems. Teams had to choose between deleting locations entirely, which risked losing historical and compliance data, or leaving them active, which cluttered dashboards, reports, and daily workflows. Neither option was ideal.


Now users have two clear and intentional paths:
Terminated locations allow brands to permanently close a location while still keeping a compliance snapshot of location details for FDD and reporting purposes. This protects historical records while ensuring the location no longer affects operations, users, or workflows.


Archived locations allow brands to temporarily pause a location without losing any data. This is especially useful for seasonal locations, temporary closures, or locations under transition. Location data is excluded from all analytics as long as the location remains archived. Everything is preserved and can be restored exactly as it was.


This update aligns the platform more closely with how franchise networks actually operate, where locations open, close, pause, and restart over time, while protecting both operational clarity and compliance requirements.


2. How It Impacts Users
HQ and Admin users gain better lifecycle management for franchise locations. Compliance teams benefit from immutable snapshots for FDD requirements. Field teams avoid clutter from closed stores in dashboards, checklists, and launch programs. For archived locations, staff assigned only to that location lose access until the site is restored, which improves security and operational accuracy.


3. What Users Need to Do to Prepare
Admins should review which team members need permission to terminate or archive locations so that they will be ready to make job‑role updates accordingly. Franchisors with seasonal or project‑based locations may want to establish internal policies on when to archive versus when to terminate.


4. How It Affects Existing Workflows
Termination removes the location from all workflows permanently and deletes operational data, while archiving hides the location and its tasks, trainings, and forms until unarchived.


Reporting modules continue to display compliance‑level information for terminated locations.

User Management

Terminated and Archived Users


1. What Changed
This update introduces a safe, intentional way to manage inactive users without compromising data integrity, security, or reporting accuracy.
Previously, teams faced an all-or-nothing choice. Deleting users removed valuable historical context tied to audits, task completion, and training records. Leaving former employees active created clutter, access risks, and confusion across dashboards and workflows. Neither option reflected how real teams operate.


Users now have two clear lifecycle states:


Terminated users allow brands to permanently remove a user from the organization while preserving an immutable historical record of their activity. This ensures audit trails, compliance data, and historical reporting remain intact, while the user is fully removed from access, assignments, and workflows.


Archived users allow brands to temporarily deactivate a user without losing any data. This is ideal for extended leave, seasonal staff, contractors, or role transitions. Archived users are excluded from analytics, assignments, and permissions until restored, at which point they return exactly as they were.
This change aligns user management with how modern organizations evolve over time, while keeping systems clean and records defensible.


2. How It Impacts Users
Admins gain precise control over user lifecycle management without relying on deletion workarounds. Compliance and audit teams retain trustworthy historical records tied to real individuals. Managers and field teams see cleaner dashboards with only active users reflected in tasks, training, and reporting. Archived users immediately lose access, improving security and operational accuracy.


3. What Users Need to Do to Prepare
Admins should review which roles are permitted to terminate or archive users and adjust permissions as needed. Organizations with seasonal staffing, contractors, or frequent role changes may want to define internal guidelines for when archiving is appropriate versus permanent termination.


4. How It Affects Existing Workflows
Terminated users are permanently removed from all active workflows, assignments, and permissions, while their historical activity remains available for compliance and reporting. Archived users are hidden from workflows, analytics, and user lists until unarchived, at which point all prior data and configurations are restored.


API behavior now excludes terminated and archived users by default unless explicitly requested. Reporting continues to reflect historical user activity where required.

Custom Fields on User Roles

1. What Changed
Delightree now allows Admins to define and assign custom fields directly on user roles, not just on individual users. This means roles can now carry specific properties or attributes, and those values automatically flow down to any user who is assigned that role.
When users receive a role, the system copies over that role’s custom field values using a clear precedence model that prevents accidental overwrites. The system also handles complex situations such as users with multiple roles, conflicting values between roles, manual overrides, and what happens when roles are updated or removed after users have already inherited values.


2. How It Impacts Users
Admins no longer need to manually update the same custom field for every individual user when multiple people share the same role, like Store Manager or Supervisor. Instead, they can set the field once at the role level and let Delightree keep users synchronized.
This improves consistency, reduces data errors, and keeps onboarding much cleaner because users automatically inherit the right attributes the moment their role is assigned.
Users with multiple roles benefit from predictable behavior because the system clearly defines which field values take priority. Manual changes on user profiles remain fully protected so Admins always stay in control.


3. What Users Need to Do to Prepare
Admins should review their existing roles and decide which custom fields should now be standardized at the role level. They may also want to clean up any inconsistent user-level data before adopting this feature so inheritance works smoothly.
No action is required from regular users.


4. How It Affects Existing Workflows
Instead of manually updating custom fields for each user one-by-one, Admins can now set these values at the role level and let the system apply them automatically.

Delightree product release notes for August 2025
Audits

Collaborative Audits Between Auditors and Location Admins
Franchisors can now choose from three audit types to accelerate reviews, improve accuracy, and reduce travel costs:

  • Self-Audit: Filled only by Location Admins (owners & non-owners)
  • Co-Filling Audit: Jointly filled by the assigned Auditor and Location Admins
  • Auditor-Only Audit: Completed solely by the assigned Auditor

Audit creators can also require Co-Signing, ensuring Location Admins sign alongside the Auditor before an audit is finalized.

Attach Knowledge Base Resources to Audits
Audit creators can now link resources directly from the Knowledge Base into their audits. This provides clear context, reduces errors, and makes it easier for new auditors to complete complex checklists with confidence.

Clearer Evidence Selection Indicators
Audit creators will now see improved visual indicators when evidence is marked as mandatory. This removes ambiguity during setup and helps avoid missed submissions later.

Audits V2: A Data-Rich Dashboard
Audits now include a redesigned dashboard built for speed and insight.

Highlights:

  • Streamlined, user-friendly layout with data-driven visuals
  • A new Trend section to track repeat violations, compare performance across cycles, and spot recurring issues by location

This makes it easier to surface patterns, identify risks, and take action across your network.

Rebranding the Audit Module
We’ve updated terminology to better reflect the collaborative nature of site reviews. Instead of being seen as a “checklist exercise” or a negative inspection, these visits are a joint effort between Franchisors and Franchisees to uphold brand standards and drive excellence systemwide.

  • Audits → Site Visits
  • Auditor → Reviewer

This change removes the compliance-heavy connotation of “Audits” and reinforces a shared commitment to continuous improvement.

Training

Filter Completed Trainings by Location
A new location filter has been added to the Completed Training list. Users can now view training progress by member within a specific location, making it easier to compare performance across the network.

Cleaner Quiz ViewsFor quizzes that don’t include scoring, the score section will now stay hidden. This removes clutter and makes the quiz experience more focused.

Chat

Member Activity Notifications
A new toggle under Settings > Chat > Member Activity Notification allows you to show or hide system messages (e.g., <USER> was added, <USER> was removed) in any channel.

General Updates

Job Type Assignment
Every job must now be tagged as either Franchisor or Franchisee. This ensures a clear separation of responsibilities and helps avoid confusion in job management.

User Roles & Permissions

User Role Names Updated for Future Permissions

We’ve renamed and restructured user roles to better support advanced permissions. While the underlying permissions remain the same, labels are now more accurate and easier to understand.

Here's what's changed:

New Role: Master Admin
Previously called Super Admin. Master Admins have full backend access and are now the only users who can assign Admins. They can only be created by the Delightree Customer Success team.

Renamed Roles:

  • Super Admin → Admin
  • Admin → User
  • Location Owner → Location Admin
  • Worker → Staff

A few important notes:

  • No permission behaviors have changed. This update is purely about role names.
  • Users can only create new users with lower permission levels than their own.
  • Master Admins, Admins, and Users cannot initiate chat messages to Staff roles.
  • Location Admins can still message any team member directly.

Chat

Transfer Chat Channel Ownership

Channel owners can now transfer ownership to another member directly from the Members tab. This gives teams more flexibility and control.

Location Launcher

Default Off for Location Profile Login

Location Profile Login is now disabled by default for new locations. It can still be enabled on request by contacting the Customer Success team.

Auto-Generated Location Channels

A channel is now auto-created as soon as a Location Admin (Owner) signs up. That person becomes the channel owner, streamlining communication setup from the start.

Reports & Analytics

Enhanced Member Analytics Status Filters

More status filters have been added to Member Analytics. This allows supervisors to isolate users more accurately based on their training progress.

Cleaner Draft and Time Visibility in Analytics

Audience-Specific Visibility Controls for Articles

Article visibility now uses a dual-checkbox model: one box ensures every open location can read the article, and a second box extends access to launching locations if desired. Combine those presets with individual site selections to fine-tune distribution. Documentation reaches the right people while proprietary playbooks stay protected.

Forms & Checklists

Contributor Permission Tooltip Clarity
A new tooltip appears when someone edits or completes a form, spelling out exactly what contributors can and cannot do.

Audience-Specific Visibility Controls for Forms
Visibility settings now offer two check boxes: show to all members at open locations and optionally include members at locations that are still launching. Admins can also add or remove individual sites to create any custom audience they need. This precision keeps sensitive content private while making sure every operator sees the material that applies to them.

Chat

Delete Confirmation Safeguard
Deleting a chat channel now triggers a quick confirmation dialog. The extra step prevents accidental loss of conversation history and keeps collaboration on track.

Location Launcher

Custom Go-Live Report Export
Operations leaders can download a spreadsheet directly from Location Launcher that lists each site’s planned go-live date and contact information.

Task Search and Filter Navigation
A new search bar and filter set let corporate admins and location owners jump straight to the tasks they care about. Less scrolling means faster, more accurate launches.

Members

Hide Inactive and Pending Users
A toggle now removes inactive or pending users from view, giving managers a clean roster of who is actually active in the system.

Bulk Invite Resend and Mass Delete
After filtering for inactive or pending status, admins can resend every outstanding invite or delete those accounts in one click. Housekeeping that once took hours now finishes in seconds, keeping user lists accurate and secure.

Audits

Evidence Attachments for Flagged Responses
When an auditor flags a response, they can immediately attach photos, documents, or a written note as evidence. The context travels with the issue so store managers see exactly what needs fixing.

Release notes for may 2, 2025
Knowledge Base

What's New for You?

  • Restrict location members from interacting with each other: Staff can no longer view or message teammates outside their own store, protecting data privacy and ending cross-location chatter.
  • Prevent Accidental Knowledge Base Deletions: A confirmation prompt and 30-day “Recently Deleted” folder make accidental Knowledge Base deletions easy to undo.
  • Shareable Video Chapters: Distribute training videos with a public link or limit access to members who already have permission, giving you flexible and secure sharing options.
  • Brand Color Library: Save your brand color palette in the chapter editor; authors choose from preset swatches so every chapter stays perfectly on brand.
  • Inline Image Downloads: Images that were added inline in chapters were not downloadable, forcing users to add them as file attachments. Now those images can be downloaded too, so you can build in-chapter galleries your readers can save.
  • Custom Chapter Thumbnails: Add your own thumbnail images to make key chapters stand out and easier to spot.
