We have deployed a new support tool to help users quickly report issues and get help (see announcement)

The add-on loads now faster and if you reuse it on the same spreadsheet multiple times, we pre-select the Gmail draft you have previously used in that spreadsheet.
We check for duplicated headers in the sheet (if you have duplicated headers and you reuse one of those headers as marker in your draft, we might not retrieve the info from the right column)
The UI to set up Form Submission notifications has been improved. You can now track emails opened, change sender name and wait until a specific column is filled before sending the email.
Formulas =HYPERLINK() and =IMAGE() are now supported so you don't have to insert HTML tags to add different links & images to each email sent. See: Add different images to each email sent - Different links / URL for each recipient

Improvements for the Read Receipts dashboard: You can now see in real time which email has been opened and if you select a specific row, you can see more insights such as the number of times a specific email have been opened and first and last time it was opened.
