We’re excited to introduce our new native Discord integration, which allows you to connect a Discord server to each of your Noticeable projects. Once connected, you can configure which Discord channels will receive publication announcements, all based on your publication labels.

To get started with the new Discord integration, follow these steps:

1. In the left-hand navigation under “Project,” click on the “Integrations” link.

2. On the project integrations page, find “Discord” and click "Connect."

3. After linking Discord, you’ll be redirected back to Noticeable, where you can set up a "mapping."

Mappings specify which Discord channel should receive publication announcements based on your publication labels. For example, you can set up a generic mapping that sends all publications to one channel, or configure a mapping that delivers only “New” publications to a specific channel.

When you publish a new publication, you’ll see a new option in Step 3, “Summary,” called “Announce the publication on configured Discord channels." This option is automatically enabled if the draft status is removed and the publication hasn’t been announced on Discord yet.

As always, we’d love to hear your feedback!

Newspages and Widgets user interfaces now automatically use your project’s configured language if it is one of the supported locales, or fall back to English.

Here are supported locales:

• Arabic (ar-SA)

• Chinese (Simplified) (zh-CN)

• Dutch (nl-NL)

• English (en-US)

• French (fr-FR)

• German (de-DE)

• Italian (it-IT)

• Japanese (ja-JP)

• Korean (ko-KR)

• Portuguese (pt-BR)

• Russian (ru-RU)

• Spanish (es-ES)

• Turkish (tr-TR)

You can still customize all phrases as desired if one translation does not fit your needs. It’s a time saver for new and existing projects, since you no longer have to manage UI translations for new phrases we introduce over time.

Note that on Newspages, you can now remove the “All publications” link from the side menu by setting the phrase with key menu.all_publications_link_label to an empty value while customizing Newspage phrases.

Over the past few months, we completely reworked our Newspages backend, which went live on March 25, 2025.

This upgrade boosts scalability and enables customizable email communication settings.

Now, when your end-users subscribe by email, they can choose to receive either all your email communications or only publications related to specific labels:

End-users can also update this preference when editing their email subscription through the email preferences link included in every message we send on your behalf.

We’re excited to introduce our new native Slack integration, which allows you to connect a Slack workspace to each of your Noticeable projects. Once connected, you can configure which Slack channels will receive publication announcements, all based on your publication labels.

We’ve also made some changes to how integrations are presented. Some integrations, like Single Sign-On and Zapier, are still managed at the organization level, while some others, like Slack, are configured at the project level. That’s why you’ll find an “Integrations” link in the left-hand navigation both under “Project” and “Organization.”

To get started with the new Slack integration, follow these steps:

1. In the left-hand navigation under “Project,” click on the “Integrations” link.

2. On the project integrations page, find Slack and click "Connect."

3. After linking Slack, you’ll be redirected back to Noticeable, where you can set up a "mapping."

Mappings define which Slack channel should receive publication announcements based on the labels of your publications. For instance, you can create a generic mapping to send all publications, regardless of their labels, to a designated Slack channel.

When you publish a new publication, you’ll see a new option in Step 3, “Summary,” called “Announce the publication on configured Slack channels." This option is automatically enabled if the draft status is removed and the publication hasn’t been announced on Slack yet.

As always, we’d love to hear your feedback!

We have introduced a technical enhancement that elevates speed, security and the ease of configuring custom domains for your Newspages.

Previously, if you wanted to use a custom domain like updates.acme.com for your Noticeable Newspage, you were required to set up two DNS records: a TXT record to verify domain ownership and another to link to Noticeable's servers.

As of now, Noticeable utilizes Cloudflare's extensive global infrastructure for managing custom domains, simplifying the process. The need for a TXT DNS record for domain verification is eliminated. If you've previously set up a TXT record beginning with _noticeable, it's now safe to remove it. You'll only need a single CNAME record pointing to custom.noticeable.news, which you likely already have if you've configured a custom domain before.

Leveraging Cloudflare's infrastructure enhances the speed of HTTPS certificate issuance for your custom domain and reduces network latency with its presence in over 250 regions worldwide. Additionally, loading times get a boost from early hints support, and security is strengthened with the enforcement of at least TLS 1.2 and support for TLS 1.3.

It's important to note that Cloudflare employs the Google Trust Services certificate authority for signing TLS certificates. If you encounter an ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH error with your custom domain, it might be due to CAA DNS records that don't include pki.goog on your parent domain. Adding pki.goog to your CAA records and initiating a custom domain verification through the Noticeable dashboard should resolve the issue:

1. Open the Noticeable Dashboard.

2. Navigate to “Newspage” in the left menu.

3. Under “Basic & Custom Domain”, and click on “Verify Domain”.

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.

It is already possible to customize SEO tags per Newspage publication. Today, you can do the same thing for your Newspage home page.

You can define a custom title page, description, and canonical URL. To improve the display and usability of your links on social media you can even set a custom Open Graph and Twitter Card title, description, and image.

To access the options, open a project on the Noticeable dashboard, click on “Newspage” in the left navigation and scroll down to the new subgroup entitled “Search Engine Optimization (SEO)”:

Newspages now include a search field that enables full-text search. You can easily find publications based on your own terms. Search applies to publications’ author name, content, and title.

Note that you can combine search terms with label selection to further filter results.

Besides, all sentences related to the new search feature are fully customizable from the Noticeable dashboard:

1. Select Newspage on the left navigation.

2. Open the Phrases settings group.

3. Click the Search category and apply the changes you need:

   

Double opt-in support is now available to all organizations on the Emails preview:

Note that double opt-in is the default for all new accounts but needs to be updated manually from the emails settings for existing accounts.
