| Nimble Predictions - Member Lapse Prevention |
| Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a technology of tomorrow for associations. Using Nimble AMS and Salesforce Einstein Prediction Builder, associations can now leverage artificial intelligence to predict which members are most likely to lapse their membership. Our Member Lapse Prediction solution can help reduce staff time by using the power of artificial intelligence to identify and highlight high-risk members and avoid costly, time-intensive analysis. Staff will spend less time researching member retention problems and instead focus on actions to increase retention. |
| Two Factor Authentication |
| Two Two-factor authentication is a two-step verification process that takes place when a user logs in to the account. It adds a layer of security to the organization's accounts and ensures that only authorized users are using their accounts. Once implemented, it would not need any additional security experts. Also, as it is a free feature from Salesforce, there's no cost impact. |
| Manage meetings and virtual events directly within Nimble AMS, reduce implementation time that will lower your business expenses to begin using Nimble AMS features, and receive important meeting attendance metrics through our Nimble AMS Zoom Integration. This feature easily syncs your scheduled virtual meetings for your attendees to join right from the comfort of their homes and interact with you face-to-face. | |
| Chapter Transfer |
| Chapter Transfer functionality enriches the Chapter Management feature by providing an easy step-by-step process to the Association staff to change a member's chapter membership from one chapter to another, mid-term. The change in chapter membership is made such that it doesn't impact the member's national or association membership. |
| Experience Cloud Community Hub is the constituent-facing portal to Nimble AMS built on the Salesforce Experience Cloud technology. It provides a modern and intuitive interface for association members as they navigate through the online portal with various self-service capabilities. Constituents can browse through the association store, purchase a variety of products, donate to a specific cause, and much more. Hybrid Model for Visualforce & Experience Cloud Community Hub support We understand that change takes time, which is why Nimble AMS is introducing a hybrid model strategy. This allows associations to gradually adopt the new capabilities offered by the Experience Cloud Community Hub while still maintaining some of the existing configurations in Visualforce Community Hub. The association members will have a seamless journey as they transition between the two interfaces. Embrace innovation at your own pace without disrupting your current operations or member experience. Experience Cloud Checkout Improvements With Summer 23, in addition to Merchandise and Donation product types, your members can now check out additional product types (Membership, Events, Sponsorships to name a few) through the optimized Experience Cloud Checkout. Members can now initiate a transaction through Experience Cloud Community Hub or Visualforce Community Hub and check the products out through Experience Cloud Checkout for a smoother, easier, and unified process. Events Discovery in Experience Cloud Promote your upcoming events effortlessly within the Experience Cloud.

The Event Catalog Component will let your association showcase all your upcoming events in a list or grid view.

Pre-selected amounts are available for them to choose from or they can enter a different one. Their donation can be 'in memory of' or 'in honor of' someone. Take advantage of this new feature that will give your members a better user experience and help to maximize your revenue. Product Variants in Experience Cloud Product Variants is now supported in Experience Cloud Community Hub to provide you and your association members with a modern, enjoyable, and seamless shopping experience. Members can view the various options (attributes) that a product provides and then select a specific product for purchase.

Add to Cart button override in Product Item Details LWC Associations and their members have an improved experience when working with the Lighting Store on Experience Cloud Community Hub. Association staff and admin users can now define and set the destination behavior of the ‘Add to Cart' button per Product through staff view. The feature provides opportunities for Associations to offer product types other than Merchandise products through the Lightning Store and control the next steps in the purchase process. As an example, Events could now be listed in the Lightning Store (with a custom data source) and the ‘Add to Cart' button on the Product Item Details component could be set to direct the member to the registration process.
