Published: 3rd May 2026 (3 min read)

Shakeyourtail new release update for may 2026

Running a busy pet business means keeping your team informed, your diary organised, and your client communication running smoothly.

Our latest ShakeYourTail release introduces new improvements to the Scheduler, campaign sending, reporting, and booking review emails — helping you manage your day with more clarity and fewer interruptions.

This means you can now automatically share open slots directly to Facebook, allowing clients to book instantly without the usual back-and-forth.

In this update, we’re introducing:

  • Site-wide daily notes in the Scheduler
  • Clearer resource availability in Resource view
  • Improved campaign sending reliability
  • Longer report generation and download availability
  • Fixes for booking review email previews Performance improvements for larger reports

These updates are designed to make day-to-day diary management easier, improve communication, and support busier businesses with larger client lists and reporting needs.

You can now add site-wide daily notes directly into the Scheduler.

These notes appear above the calendar header in Daily and Resource views, making them easy for your team to see when they are managing appointments throughout the day.

This is useful for things like:

  • Staff reminders
  • Site-specific updates
  • Important general notes for the day
  • Holiday or sickness cover
  • Operational reminders across the team

Instead of relying on separate messages, sticky notes, or internal chats, key daily information can now sit exactly where your team is already working — inside the schedule.

We’ve improved the Scheduler’s Resource view so that times outside of a resource’s working hours are shaded.

This makes it much easier to see when a groomer, staff member, room, or other resource is unavailable.

The benefit is simple: your team can understand availability at a glance and avoid trying to interact with times that are not available.

For busy salons and multi-resource businesses, this helps reduce diary mistakes and makes the booking process clearer for everyone.

If you’re running a busy grooming business, this update is built for you. It’s especially useful if you:

  • Campaign Sending Retry Enhancement
    Improved campaign sending reliability by allowing up to 5 retry attempts. If a send fails, the system will automatically retry up to 4 additional times.
  • Extend report generation time and expiration window
    Increased report generation timeout from 30 minutes to 1 hour, and extended report availability from 30 minutes to 2 hours to better support large reports.

Bugs squashed in this release.

  • Booking Review Email Preview Fix
    Fixed an issue where the email template was not displayed in the preview for booking review request emails.
  • Fix null response handling for SumUp card-in-file API
    Adjusted logic to safely handle null responses from the SumUp card-in-file endpoint, which previously returned an empty array. This resolves a bug caused by the API behavior change and prevents runtime issues. 
  • Fix timeouts in campaign and client list reports
    Resolved an issue where campaign and client list reports could time out on large accounts due to performance constraints.
