We’re excited to introduce end user authentication with Noticeable widgets.

End user authentication is a feature you can optionally integrate to verify the identities of your end users. This ensures that when end users engage with widgets, such as commenting, their identity is confirmed and secure from impersonation.

How does it function?

Noticeable employs Single Sign-On (SSO) tokens for this authentication process:

1. On your server(s) side, you create an SSO token for each end user (using a secret we share).

2. You pass this SSO token with our Javascript SDK before rendering any widget.

3. Voilà! Your end user's identity is now securely authenticated with Noticeable widgets.

Note: While it's still possible to pass end user traits using our Javascript SDK as outlined in our various identification methods, this approach is no longer recommended.

We’re excited to announce that our email sending feature, which was initially launched last year in private preview and later moved to public preview, has now reached the beta stage!

Over the past months, we’ve been working relentlessly to scale and improve the platform to ensure a smooth, feature-rich experience for our users. We have also been laying the groundwork for some exciting upcoming additions.

Here's a rundown of the key features now available in the email sending beta:

• 📧 Effortlessly send emails to your subscribers with just one click.

• 🔍 Send a preview email to yourself or your team before dispatching to everyone.

• 📊 Manage subscribers directly from our dashboard or via the Noticeable API.

• 💾 Export your subscribers to a CSV file.

• ⚡️ Utilize Zapier to automate subscription-related tasks.

• 🎨 Customize the email sender's name, reply-to address, and header logo.

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.

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!

Thank you!

This year Noticeable helped more businesses around the globe to engage and keep their users updated. Among them are Airfair, Checkout, Firstbase, Huggy, IBM, Lytx, Nylas, Picdrop, Pipplet, Synthesia, Testlodge, and more.

For the sake of every user, we’re committed to making Noticeable the best changelog as a service but we couldn’t do it without your support. Your feedback and suggestions were a valuable resource for the improvements we made in 2021, and they will continue to drive our roadmap this year.

We’d love to continue hearing from you in 2022! If you want to say a quick hello or drop a few suggestions, drop a line below, send us a message on Twitter or by email.

From the whole team at Noticeable, we want to wish you a great year ahead!

We did it! You now have access to a whole new type of widget: the modal one.

Using a modal widget, you can announce your product changes or deals in front of your users. In contrary to the popup or top banner widget, full publications content is displayed when the widget is opened.

As a trigger to open a modal widget you can select among the ones we already propose with other widgets: custom, floating button, icon, text + badge, or none.

If you prefer to use no triggers and automatically open a modal widget when you publish a new publication, that’s possible. To do so, while editing a publication on step 2, “Options”, enable the switch option “Automatically open widgets when the publication is new”:

Effective October 18, 2021, we are adding the following Subprocessors:

• Amazon Web Services (AWS)

• MongoDB Atlas

• Redis Cloud

AWS is added for some features we will introduce in the future.

Regarding MongoDB and Redis we already have on-premise instances hosted and running on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Starting October 18, 2021, instances will remain hosted on GCP but fully managed by MongoDB Atlas and Redis Cloud.

Our page listing service-providers has been updated in consequence:

Great news! We’ve released a new widget.

The new Top Banner widget allows you to tell people about your latest updates, promotions, discounts, maintenances or even keep users updated about ongoing issues.

The widget layout is quite flexible in the sense that you can either set a title, title + description, Call-To-Action (CTA), and even include a countdown to promote limited offers. Metrics such as the number of views and CTA clicks are also collected.

We’re updating our Terms and Privacy policy. The purpose is to clarify and simplify our statements while providing more transparency. The new Terms and Privacy is effective as of Today for new accounts and will take effect on July 8, 2021, for accounts created before this announcement.

As part of the changes, we are also adding Ipregistry to our list of subprocessors for Analytics purposes. Ipregistry is based in France and is GDPR compliant.

By continuing to use Noticeable after July 8, 2021, you agree to these changes.

Note that you are not affected by these changes if you are an Enterprise customer bound to us with custom terms.
