1. New Features

   1. Automatic Recipe Selection and Ingredient Replacement

      1. MealTrack is excited to unveil the new Automatic Recipe Selection feature*! Customers can now have recipes automatically selected for them based on their dietary restrictions, food allergies, and/or preferences. Automatic Recipe Selection can also be enabled for renewal orders, making recipe processing much more time efficient.

         Recipe cards can now display compatibility symbols to inform customers which recipes match their preferences, which have been modified, or which are not a match.

         Note: Customers can now open the Recipe Card Details dialog by selecting any part of the recipe card.

         

         When customers navigate to recipe selection, recipes are automatically selected based on their dietary preferences. Customers can still manually select recipes of their choice suggested recipes have been cleared.

          

         

         Recipes that do not conflict with a customer’s omissions or dislikes will display a “Good Match” symbol, which can be configured.

          

         

         Recipes that have been modified to meet a customer’s preferences display another symbol—also configurable—to inform them that conflicting ingredients have been swapped or skipped.

         
         
         

         When the “Swapped” symbol is selected, the card details dialog will appear and inform the customer which ingredients have been replaced and what they have been replaced with.

         
         
         

         Recipes that conflict with dietary preferences or restrictions will display a “No Match” symbol. This symbol is also configurable and informs customers that a recipe is not considered a match.

         *These features are available upon request

         By navigating to a customer’s profile and selecting the Communications tab, a user will be able to come across a dialog like this one. Sent statuses will only be visible once companies have migrated to SendGrid.
