Orchard Harvest 2026 program, Your website should integrate with your business systems - This week in Orchard (26/06/2026)

The full Orchard Harvest 2026 conference program is live, with the event taking place in Vancouver on September 10-11. Grab your early-bird ticket for just $280 and join the community for two days of sessions and networking!

Form submissions shouldn't end up in manual copy-paste routines. Orchard Core connects directly with Zapier, Make, and n8n to automatically trigger CRM updates, notifications, and more. DotNest's managed hosting makes the whole setup hassle-free!

The Health Checks module by Hisham Bin Ateya lets you restrict access by IP, apply rate limiting, and DoS protection for your health check endpoints, all configurable via JSON.

Managing multiple tenants on the same database just got easier. New RequireTablePrefix and TablePrefixPattern options, introduced by Mike Alhayek, let you enforce or auto-generate table prefixes (e.g., using the tenant name), so your setup is consistent and error-free out of the box.

No more guessing which properties to use for the Settings recipe step. Every module with configurable settings now includes a dedicated Recipe Configuration section with examples!

Using the ContentManager so we can finally work with content items! Generating ad-hoc shapes and matching them to an actual template. Implementing the IResourceManifestProvider interface for managing static resources.
