Recently, some of you may have noticed a temporary slowdown with the API and the Timeline pages. The problem was coming from one of our database providers. We apologize for the inconvenience. The issue is now resolved.

Noticeable status information is available on the next page:

Adding images is crucial to make your product updates more appealing. By default, published images are automatically sized for the container that displays your product update (e.g. Widget or Timeline).

Although automatic shrinking is a visual requirement, this may be an issue when you want to draw special attention to details on an image. For this reason, we’ve made published images automatically zoomable when their natural size is larger than their container.

Noticeable updates you write can already embed a Youtube, Videopress, Vimeo or Vine video. Starting Today, we also support Wistia and Youtube Playlists!

As before, just drop your video URL and it is automatically transformed into a player. Here is an example:

We’ve refreshed our GraphQL API explorer to use Playground.

The API explorer is a great companion for development and testing purposes. The new Playground interface simplifies advanced integrations with Noticeable by providing:

• Pre-filled examples to fetch project and post data but also templates to create, update or delete posts.
• An interactive, multi-column schema documentation.
• Better iterative testing with query history.
• One click export to cURL command.
• Requests tracing to understand where time is spent and how to reduce timings for your queries.

Here is a link to give a try using a sample Access Token:

Last but not least, you will also notice better response times thanks to some tweaks we applied to our infrastructure.

Last week we announced Emoji Reactions. Today, we are excited to introduce User Feedback!

This new feature allows your users to send you feedback by commenting on a post, directly from your Widget or Timeline. Comments are hidden, meaning users won’t be able to see others’ comments. Only your team and you are able to read messages and get users information.

How does it work?

User feedback is available with the Business plan. When creating a post, check the new User feedback option to enable the comment input below the post shown to users.

On your project dashboard, each post displays a feedback icon that summarizes the number of comments you received. Upon click, you can read the messages and get detailed information about the user who submitted the feedback:

By default, comments are anonymous. You can automatically link users name and email with comments sent from the Widget by using our SDK. Read the installation guide for more information.

Today, we have a big update to share: Emoji Reactions. They are a fun, low-effort means for users to engage on updates and for you to better understand what people think.

Why Emoji Reactions?

Getting people to actively participate is key to developing stronger relationships. Users who engage consume, on average, 4 times as much content compared to passive users. Converting more passive users to active participants means more time on site, direct traffic, and audience loyalty.

How is it working?

Emoji Reactions are available with the Business and Enterprise plans right now. When you create/edit a post, you have a new option to enable/disable reactions. Upon publications, users can share their feeling about your update in just one click. Statistics are aggregated over time and made visible per post in your dashboard to analyze performances:

What do you think?

As you probably guessed, the Emoji Reactions feature is enabled for this post. Be sure to react to let us know what you think. If you have ideas or feedback, let us know by leaving a comment below.

Recently, the second version of our Zapier integration has been released. It enables new use cases via additional triggers and actions. Especially, post creations and editions are handled through 2 different events. We know this may require some tedious configurations to handle both events the same way.

We’ve listened to your feedback and are happy to say that a new Zapier trigger called "Post Created or Updated" has been added. It allows triggering a Zap when a post is created or updated and the “Forward to integrations” is enabled for that post.

Available triggers, actions and templates are explained on the next page:
