File attachments have some additional flexibility where file types are effectively interchangeable (different spreadsheet formats, for example). However, for security, we now only allow files from a (wide) range of types: these are also now more carefully checked that they are what they claim to be. Read More…

Cameo makes a first foray into AI to help import bank statement transactions more flexibly. As well as existing methods, you can now:

* Supply a PDF of a bank statement, from which we’ll extract transactions, in accounting tasks → import statements.

* Make use of a screenshot or scan of a list of transactions.

* Provide an example CSV of transactions from your bank, in organisation settings → bank accounts to create a recipe for importing transactions automatically.

* Give a PDF, formatted text, screenshot or can of a receipt or invoice from a supplier, in trading → receipts and expenses claims, from which we obtain the details.

These methods use Claude AI. You need a pay-as-you-go account with them to do this.

The wider range of file formats for transactions has needed some rearrangement of bank statement attachment controls. Read More…

You can now have additional descriptive fields in the descriptions part of events & bookings → events. Substitutions let you include the field content in an event template or a ticket email or paper template. Read More…

Everywhere you send file attachments to Cameo, you can now also paste the content. This is particularly handy where you have a screenshot, or excerpted text or an image in front of you, that you want to send to Cameo. Copy and paste avoids saving the content to a file first. You can also paste files copied from Finder (Mac) / File Explorer (Windows). That helps when you can’t see both Finder and Cameo windows together. Read More…

Cameo now supports more sophisticated event listing presentation. Using a template means there is less repetition from event to event: the full description need only be narrative text unique to the event.

Templates are HTML and CSS, so setting them up requires some technical knowledge. Once done, though, event descriptions themselves are simpler to write.

For existing full descriptions, substitutions now look like those in email templates, and there are more of them (including one to insert common content, and another to include a “hero” image).

There are some minor changes to the Event Listings WordPress plugin.

Also, events & bookings → events now presents the different parts of the event definition using an “accordion-style” menu. Read More…
