Embeddable Noticeable timelines πŸ“‹

by Laurent Pellegrino, Founder & CEO
New

Noticeable Timelines centralize your product updates. Today, we have deployed a new version of the app that allows embedding Timelines in your own pages.

Any Noticeable Timeline can be embedded into a full page of your website, rather than hosting it on a subdomain. For this purpose, we allow serving Timeline content from an iframe.

Below is a link to a Github repository that provides an example:

https://github.com/noticeableapp/noticeable-timeline-iframe

Timelines also support some options via Query string parameters:

ParameterValueDescription
cachefalseLoad content from Noticeable servers bypassing caching layers. This ensures data freshness at the cost of higher response times.
footerfalseHide the Timeline footer.
headerfalseHide the Timeline header.

For instance, here is the official Noticeable Timeline with header and footer hidden:

https://updates.noticeable.io?footer=false&header=false

Filtering posts πŸ”

by Laurent Pellegrino, Founder & CEO
Enhancement

Do you have a lot of posts? are you managing posts with different labels? do you want to display draft posts only? segmented posts?

Today, we have deployed a new version of the service that allows filtering posts in your projects dashboard per status (draft, published, scheduled, segmented) and labels. Both filtering criteria can also be combined to perform fine grain filtering.

Posts filtering

We want to make Noticeable work for you, and therefore your feedback is important to us. Feel free to contribute to our public roadmap with new ideas πŸ’‘

Importing posts from Headwayapp πŸ’«

by Laurent Pellegrino, Founder & CEO
New

We are receiving more and more requests from people and companies who are interested in switching from Headwayapp to Noticeable. Is it also your case? As from Today, we provide a wizard for this purpose.

How is this new feature working?

  1. Open our Importation Wizard.
  2. Select a Noticeable project, then click on "Get started".
  3. Enter your Headwayapp changelog URL.
  4. Click on "Begin Import".

The importation is fully asynchronous. This means you can continue working on other tasks, and even close your browser, while posts are fetched and published on your Noticeable project.

You will receive an email once the importation is finished.

Help center πŸ’

by Laurent Pellegrino, Founder & CEO
Announcement

We are proud to announce the availability of our new Help Center. This last centralizes the most frequent questions we receive but also share tips and discuss advanced features. You can search by keywords and leave reactions. The content will expand with time.

If you have questions or need help, you can also reach us by chat on our pages or by email.

Widget auto refresh πŸ”„

by Laurent Pellegrino, Founder & CEO
New

Are customers keeping your product pages opened for a long time without reloading? In such a situation the Noticeable Widget is now automatically refreshing its content every hour.

The auto refresh period is configurable. As for other Widget properties, you can set its value from your configuration page on Noticeable:

  1. Open a project from your dashboard.
  2. Select Widget in the sub-menu.
  3. Set your value in the Auto refresh field (in minutes).

or programmatically (in milliseconds):

<noticeable-widget 
    auto-refresh="3600000"
    access-token="YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" 
    project-id="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"></noticeable-widget>

The refresh period cannot be lower than 1 minute. If you want to disable the auto refresh feature, you simply need to set the value to -1.

Although requests are cached by a first class Content Delivery Network (CDN) by default, please note that reducing the auto refresh value will in most cases increase cache invalidations and thus affect your API calls quota.

Customizing Job title per project

by Laurent Pellegrino, Founder & CEO
Enhancement

A new version of the service has been deployed. It allows configuring your Job title per project. It is particularly useful in a multi language context where a project per language is used.

How to proceed

  1. Go to your account page.
  2. Tap on the toothed wheel on the right side of the Job title field.
  3. Configure your Job title per project.
  4. Click on Save changes.

If you leave a field empty, your default Job title will be used.

Existing posts aren't updated with Job title updates. Only new posts reflect the changes. If you want to update the Job title associated with an existing post, simply edit the post and save it again.

Zapier-Noticeable Integration ⚑

by Laurent Pellegrino, Founder & CEO
Announcement

We're thrilled to announce that our Zapier Integration is now live.

Zapier is all about making your life easier through automation. It automates the connection between your Noticeable projects and the apps and services you already use to run your business or manage your audience. That means you don’t have to do as much of the heavy lifting.

If you want to automatically add Timeline subscribers to an email list or instantly post your Noticeable posts on social media, Zapier makes it happen πŸ™Œ

Automations are set up with Zaps. A Zap is made of a Trigger and Actions. For instance, when a new post is published in Noticeable (Trigger) then a new Tweet is automatically published with a link to the post (Action).

Zapier works with over 1,000 different connected applications, meaning that you can create and customize a huge range of automations to your heart's content. What's even more awesome is that no code is required!

Here are a few of the most popular Noticeable-Zapier automation templates you can set up right now:

This new Zapier integration works with any Noticeable plan, and you can find a list of the most popular Zap Templates from the Integrations section of any Noticeable project. Please note Zapier offers free accounts with a few automations included, and paid plans with more advanced functionality.

If you need help, we remain available at [email protected].

Multiple language support πŸ‡«πŸ‡· πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

by Laurent Pellegrino, Founder & CEO
New

Hola, ΒΏque tal? Was geht? Γ‡a va?

Your app or service is available in multiple countries and you want to improve customers engagement by sharing what's new in multiple languages? Noticeable now has full support for this purpose. You can write posts in Chinese, English, Hindi, Spanish, French, etc. there are no limits.

How does it work?

You simply need to create a dedicated project per language. Once created, you can override all default texts used on your project Timeline and Widget. There is an exception with texts related to date and time. These last are automatically translated based on the user locale that is detected on the browser.

Managing multi-language per project has several benefits: you can customize default texts but also labels, collaborator permissions and many other options.

Don't wait to share updates, your users will love you, we promise.
