You can also combine this with an export action to generate a detailed report of affected subscriptions. This feature streamlines large-scale subscription management for time-bound campaigns, policy changes, or operational workflows.

This enhancement ensures that records are accurately included based on when they were last modified, improving the reliability of export data and helping teams identify missing records during time-based exports. The column appears at the end of the export file and is now available on both the platform and core API.

UI

🟢 Enhancement: Customizable Membership Status Access

The JS SDK now gives you more control over who can access your gated content. You can define which membership statuses should be allowed access by using the new Pelcro.uiSettings.membershipSubscriptionStatusAccess setting.

If you don’t configure this setting, the SDK will default to the following allowed statuses:
["active", "extended", "trialing", "past_due"]

Finally, existing customers with populated state fields for UK addresses will not face any issues, ensuring a seamless transition and an improved user experience.
