• The emails preview no longer requires an invitation.

• You can now access the history of all email dispatches and filter them by type.

• When removing the draft status of a publication from the step 3 of the editor (Summary), if the publication date and time is 15 minutes older than the current one, you will then see a dialog asking whether you want to set the publication date and time to now.

Double opt-in support is now available to all organizations on the Emails preview:

Note that double opt-in is the default for all new accounts but needs to be updated manually from the emails settings for existing accounts.

• Metrics are no longer collected for draft publications. This includes reactions, views, Call-To-Actions (CTA), link clicks, etc. It is also no longer possible to submit user feedback on draft publications.

• We’ve added a new option to disable auto-refresh on Newspages if needed.

Similarly to widgets, you can now control per project if a Newspage is enabled or not. This is useful in the case you want to keep content private and only use Widgets for instance.

Note that advanced options such as password and IP filtering are available on higher plans.

• Due to recent abuses to trigger spam notifications to our customers by automating feedback creation from Newspages or Widgets, we added a rate limit to a set of actions. This should not affect legitimate usage. However, if you are still experiencing spam, please drop us a line below or via email.

• The widget trigger of type “None” is now supporting automatic widget opening. This means that if you create for example a modal widget with “None” as trigger, and publish a new publication with the option “Automatically open widgets when the publication is new” in order to automate the opening of your widget, then your modal widget will now automatically open to users who have not already seen the publication.

We’re excited to announce native email sending.

You are wondering what is behind this announcement? that’s the ability to forward Noticeable publications to your subscribers by email in one click:

Our goal is to make the publication of your updates but also the management of your audience easier.

Native email sending is currently under development. A minimal set of features is available at this time but we’re actively working on expanding the scope.

You can request access by clicking on the button below or dropping us a line by mail. Note that only customers on a paid plan and with an active subscription are accepted to join the preview.

• Newspage Atom and RSS feeds have been improved and pass W3C validation. We’ve also added support for JSON feeds. Here is an example for the Noticeable Newspage:

  https://updates.noticeable.io/feeds

• In preparation for a new feature, we deployed changes to the GraphQL API:

  • Email subscription statuses ARCHIVED and CLEANED have been deprecated and will be deleted after May 14, 2022. Instead, you should use new dedicated input arguments and output fields.

  • Input arguments isArchived and status have been added respectively to email subscription update and create mutations.

  • Email subscription data returned with mutations now includes isArchived, isCleaned and status output fields.

  • Fields deprecated since more than 6 months have been deleted.

• Changes similar to the GraphQL API have been released to the Noticeable-Zapier integration. If you have active Zaps, an update might be required. In that case, you should have received an email from Zapier.

• Examples for listing, fetching, creating, deleting, and updating email subscriptions using the API have been added to our GraphQL playground page.

• An option to download user feedback as CSV has been added.

• You can control per Newspage and per Widget whether the user feedback form should display and require fields to collect email and name.

• Each user feedback now includes the page from where the feedback was collected via a field called Referer. There is also a new field named Origin that indicates from what Newspage or Widget feedback was collected.

  

• The top-banner widget includes a new option named Position to move and stick the banner to the top or the bottom of your page with a single click.

• When you duplicate a post, its publication date and time are automatically set to the current date and time. Expiration time and archive status are also removed if they were set.

• An issue impacting accounts that were updating their default profile image was fixed.

• The issue returning “Internal Server Error” upon email subscription on Newspages has been fixed.

So long, 2021! It was marked by productivity and growth. If we had to sum this year up in a few words, here’s what we’d say: more features, better user experiences, and even more success stories.

Here are some of the most important highlights of the year 🎉:

• New Dashboard

  Last year, our dashboard took a step forward with a more intuitive, fresh, and easier-to-navigate interface. We also released analytics, developed a rich text editor, a live widget editor, added support for Call-To-Actions (CTA), implemented notification preferences, and many other customization options.

• New Widgets and JavaScript SDK

  In 2021, we released a new version of the popup widget but also new modal and top-banner widgets. More layouts for more use cases and better product updates placement.

  Additionally, we also added support for code injection in widgets and the new JavaScript SDK makes use of the standard Web platform with a concise API that enables events support and cross-device synchronization.

• Single Sign-On (SSO)

  Early last year we launched support for SSO. Our implementation supports OIDC and SAML industry-standard protocols. SSO reduces chances of hacks by only requiring one set of credentials and only logging each user in once per day. We also created an integration to appear in the Okta catalog for easier usage.

• Improved Newspages

  2021 was also the opportunity to bring several enhancements and features to Newspages. This includes support for private Newspages to restrict accesses with a shared secret or by IP addresses, but also Right-to-left (RTL) support with Newspages and Widgets.

And many other amazing features!
