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:
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!
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’ve added support for widgets code injection. This allows customizing iframes (injected on your page when you load a Noticeable Widget) with your own CSS and JavaScript:
Widgets code injection is an advanced feature that requires coding knowledge. Besides, it is available on the Business and Enterprise plans only.
That’s also the time for us to thank you for an incredible and active 2021. See you in January, and have a wonderful holiday season!
We’ve introduced new notifications and a dedicated section on the Noticeable dashboard to control your preferences. You can define whether you want to receive:
announcements by email for new Noticeable product updates.
daily email reports for new emoji reactions.
an email for each new user feedback.
a reminder to write a publication after a given period elapsed.
Each organization and project collaborator can configure its own preferences. When it makes sense, you can control preferences per project. For instance, this is useful when you manage multiple projects for multi-language purposes.

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”:

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.
Only some languages in the world use Right-To-Left (RTL) text direction, but these languages cover over a billion people. This added to the fact we received recurrent requests to support RTL text direction in the last weeks, we decided to add support for RTL languages.
RTL is now fully supported on Newspages and all Widgets!
We also include limited support with our dashboard. The support is said limited with our dashboard because the user interface remains in English and RTL is enabled for the content you input only (e.g. a publication title or content).
You are probably wondering how to activate RTL? The only action to perform is to set your project language in your project settings. From the selected language, we are able to deduce if your project requires RTL support. If that’s the case, then Noticeable components adapt automatically: HTML layout, text direction, date and time format, styles, etc.
Default phrases on Newspages and Widgets do not translate automatically but you can customize them with your own words, and thus language, from our dashboard.
In case you write any of Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Urdu, or any other RTL languages, we would really like to hear about your experience. Drop us an email or send us your feedback in the form below.
