• We’ve added a new option to set a link on the title of a top-banner widget (in addition to or replacement of a CTA button). When enabled, you can either redirect to the publication on your Newspage or the URL of your choice:
  

  

• When defining a custom URL (for instance in a CTA button while configuring your publication on step 2 Options, or with the title link of your top-banner), you can now use the placeholder {publication_slug} inside your URL to create a dynamic redirection. The placeholder is automatically replaced by its corresponding value when the URL is created.

• The live widget editor on the Noticeable dashboard now includes a dark mode to better visualize your widgets when using light colors:
  

  

• The top-banner vertical padding set on mobile devices has been decreased to improve the aesthetic.

• An issue preventing the Newpage embed widget to load on mobile devices has been fixed.

• The widget setup page has been reworked to mention useful resources, including new links for integration examples with Angular, Lit, React, and Vue.

• A sizing and positioning issue has been fixed with the Icon trigger widget. You can still adjust the vertical positioning using for instance a negative CSS margin-top but this will no longer be required in most cases.

• Iframes created and injected by the Noticeable SDK now include a title to prevent a warning with Lighthouse inspection.

• We’ve fixed an issue preventing the publication date and time to display on Newspages for newly created projects.

• The input color picker used in many places on the dashboard was not always behaving as expected. This is now fixed.

It was requested and long-awaited by some of you. The Noticeable JavaScript SDK is now officially supporting events. You can register a listener and get notified asynchronously with events when users perform actions with Noticeable widgets.

You can register a listener as follows:

noticeable.on('widget:opened', widgetId, function(event) { ... })

We support the following event types:

• widget:closed

• widget:opened

• widget:publication:comment:created

• widget:publication:reaction:created

• widget:publication:reaction:updated

• widget:publication:unread_count:changed

• widget:publication:unseen_count:changed

• widget:ready

• widget:refreshed

• widget:rendering:aborted

• widget:trigger:ready

• widget:trigger:refreshed

• widget:trigger_view:clicked

• widget:trigger_view:mouse_entered

• widget:trigger_view:mouse_left

• widget:widget_view:mouse_entered

• widget:widget_view:mouse_left

• A bug that was preventing the deletion of the last segment value associated with a publication has been fixed.

• Date and time on Widgets are now localized using the project language that is configured, similarly to Newspages.

• New settings have been introduced in the dashboard for Newspages and Widgets to control the date and time format for publications displayed individually or in a list:

  

  
  

• Options named Absolute and Relative to control publication time format from the Noticeable dashboard have been rename respectively to Custom pattern and Distance to now.

• Publication state icons that appear on the publications overview page to quickly identify whether a publication is expired or scheduled are now displayed when the publication is published only (i.e. not a draft).

• Publication labels on Widgets were sometimes not updated after a project label edition due to a cache invalidation issue. This is now fixed.

• The maximum number of characters you can input as publication content has been doubled.

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.

Dashboard

• The links to download PDF for invoices have been fixed (this was broken due to a change on Stripe).

Newspages

• You can filter content using multiple labels. For instance, if you have labels A, B, C, D and you click on labels A and D from your Newspage’s menu, then you will get publications that have label A or label D set.

• A visual loading state has been added to the button used to submit the subscription form.

• Clicks on Call-To-Action buttons using the mouse middle click are counted as regular clicks.

• Publication date and time are formatted using the locale defined in your project settings. If no formatting rules are available for your project language, we fall back to en-US.

• The background color for CTA buttons is set to transparent by default instead of white.

• The number of JavaScript files required to render the page has been drastically reduced.

• The number of publications displayed on the home page has been increased to 9 from 5.

• The subscribe button is hidden on pages related to subscriptions.

• The resource /subscribe has moved to /subscriptions and a redirection has been set up for the transition.

Widgets

• The Newspage Embed widget is now communicating with other widgets. This means that publications read or seen state changes on your Newspage via the Embed widget are instantly propagated to the Popup widget if you are using both widgets in your pages.

• When clicking on publication images from a Newspage Embed widget, the image opens in full resolution in a lightbox that is no longer attached to the inner frame but to the parent page, thus making the widget integration smooth and transparent.

New

• The “Subscribers” page on the Noticeable dashboard displays the number of email subscriptions you have per project.

• When injecting custom code on Newspages from the Noticeable dashboard, you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+S to save and preview your changes as long as your focus remains in the code editor.

• Automatic slug generation from publication titles is now supporting non-Latin characters by using transliteration.

Enhancement

• The label of Click-To-Action buttons is now put in bold to increase its importance and improve readability.

• Fixed code blocks not resizing properly on Newspages when displayed on small screens.

• Fixed an issue preventing the LinkedIn sharing button to work on Newspages.

• Fixed an issue preventing some placeholders to be correctly replaced with Zapier triggers related to the creation and the update of publications.

In early February, we launched support for Single Sign-On (SSO). Today, we are going further and are proud to provide an official integration with Okta: Noticeable appears in the Okta catalog as a verified app with OIDC and SAML support.

One of the main targets for cyber-criminals is your username and password. Each time you log in to a new application, it provides more opportunities for hackers. SSO reduces these chances by only requiring one set of credentials and only logging each user in once per day. Furthermore, using Okta, your company can enforce the use of strong passwords but also custom policies to better protect your organization’s assets.

Single Sign-On is available on our Enterprise plan with unlimited collaborators. Drop us a line if you are interested in giving it a try or want to upgrade.
