This release added new Inbox options for allowing Client Sharing users to log in to CloudCannon from a notification email.
It also addressed several issues, including those affecting MFA permissions, Organization-level Flag permissions, and form reCAPTCHA.
Features & Improvements
- Added the Use Client Sharing to view attached files option for existing Inboxes and the File attachment settings option for existing Inboxes.
- Previously, Client Sharing users could not view form submissions in CloudCannon by following the link from the form submission notification email, as CloudCannon would require them to log in with a CloudCannon account.
- Now, when you create a new Inbox target, you can enable the Use Client Sharing to view attached files option. CloudCannon will ensure all form submission notification emails use a link to the Client Login Page.
- Additionally, you can toggle this option for existing Inbox targets using the File attachment settings option in the Inbox Context menu.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where users with the
org:settings:details:write permission could edit the Multi-Factor Authentication settings for an Organization. You must be a member of the Owners Permission Group to edit these settings.
- Fixed an issue where only members of the Owners Permission Group could see the Organization-level Flags settings. Users with the
org:settings:details:write permission should be able to edit these flags.
- Fixed an issue where, in some cases, reCAPTCHA validation would pass incorrectly. CloudCannon will now forward form submissions that fail reCAPTCHA validation to the Error section of your Inbox.

February 4th, 2025 | Changelog
This release improves how CloudCannon handles GitHub accounts and updates the email change workflow. It addresses several issues caused by signing up to CloudCannon with GitHub's no-reply or standard email addresses.
Improved GitHub account management
Previously, GitHub's no-reply email addresses would prevent you from resetting your CloudCannon password.
Additionally, CloudCannon would require you to enter a password to accomplish some actions in the app, even though signing up with a standard GitHub email address does not require you to set a password to log in. This prevented you from:
- Changing your account password.
- Changing your account email address.
- Deleting an Organization.
- Deleting your Account.
The only way to address these issues was to use the Forgotten Password recovery flow, which added unnecessary friction and potential security concerns.
This release adds the following improvements:
- You can no longer use GitHub's no-reply email addresses to sign up to CloudCannon.
- If you sign up for CloudCannon via GitHub, you can no longer sign up to CloudCannon with an email address that is unverified in GitHub.
- If you sign up for CloudCannon via GitHub and do not set a password, CloudCannon will flag the account accordingly.
- CloudCannon actions requiring a password will no longer prompt you if you have not set one for your account.
Improved email change workflow
When you update the email address associated with your account, CloudCannon now requires you to verify access to the new email address. This ensures that only the owner of an email address can use it on CloudCannon.
