If you’ve ever clicked Send and then had to wait—watching your screen sit there with no real sense of how long it would take—this update is for you.

Who this change helps (and who it doesn’t)

• Helps: Anyone sending Yahrzeit notifications by email, especially in larger volumes.
• No change: If you send Yahrzeit notifications by hard copy, your workflow stays exactly the same.

What’s new: your screen is no longer tied up

Previously, sending Yahrzeit emails could lock up your screen while the system worked in the background.

Now, after you select your search results and choose a template, the system immediately takes you to a feedback screen.

A progress bar you can actually follow

On the feedback screen, you’ll see a progress bar that moves across the page while emails are being sent. Instead of wondering whether anything is happening (or how close you are to done), you get clear, real-time visual progress until completion.

More detailed sending results

Along with the progress bar, you’ll also get clearer delivery feedback, including:

• How many emails the system attempted to send
• How many emails were successfully sent

If those two numbers don’t match, it’s typically because some recipients can’t be emailed (for example, they don’t have an email address on file). In the demo scenario, a few messages could not be delivered for that exact reason.

Why this matters for high-volume sending

When you’re sending dozens—or even hundreds—of Yahrzeit notifications, small delays and unclear status updates quickly become frustrating. This new flow is designed to:

• Keep your session responsive
• Reduce uncertainty during sending
• Provide immediate clarity when some messages can’t be delivered

What’s coming next

This progress-and-feedback approach is a technique we expect to apply in other parts of the system as well—especially anywhere a process currently ties up your screen for a while.

If you regularly send Yahrzeit emails in bulk, this update should make the experience noticeably faster, clearer, and more reassuring—especially with the added delivery details and the interactive progress bar.
