• 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.

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!

• The option to duplicate a publication has been improved to enable the creation of a copy in the project of your choice:

  

• User feedback messages displayed in the dashboard are now formatted with line breaks appropriately.

• Fixed a cache invalidation issue that prevented to move on widgets a publication from the published state back to the draft state.

• Fixed an invalid quota limit (related to the number of collaborators you can invite) upon new project creation for some accounts created before November, 2021.

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.

• Widgets are up to 50% faster to load and render. Although Noticeable widgets were already amazingly fast and lightweight components, we made improvements by serving content from Cloudflare CDN (with HTTP3) and upgrading the Lit library we are using to its new major 2.0 version.

• New customization options are available with the modal and popup widgets: you can set a custom background color and select whether the publication author must be displayed or not.

• Upon background color change, the color of the text and some other user interface elements automatically adapt to meet color contrast standards.

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”:

• When you create a new project label with a name that includes non-Latin characters, the slug that is generated is automatically transliterated to make it valid.

• Transactional emails delivery has been improved: all users should now consistently receive invitations or sign-in links within seconds when they log in by email address.

• Fixed a recurring bug preventing customers on the Growth plan to create a publication through Zapier with an empty list of segments.

• Fixed a bug disabling configured Newspage custom domains when moving from a paid plan to another.

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.
