WHAT'S FRESH?
THESE ARE THE RECENT CHANGES TO SIMPLERO
Simplified & improved the event/scheduling link booking confirmation page.
Simpler, clear & prettier than before. Take a look at these screenshots: 
You can now redirect people to a custom URL after they book using your scheduling link. Go to the scheduling link page in your admin dashboard, and you'll find a switch on the left sidebar that says 'Redirect to a custom URL after booking', toogle that on and enter your URL.
Video and audio transcripts now support Norwegian.
The Scheduling Links feature just got simpler & more powerful!
Add a description to your scheduling links, which will be displayed on the booking page.
Customize the URL of your scheduling link. Go to the scheduling link page in your admin dashboard, and you'll find a pencil icon next to the URL that you can click to customize.
Specify internal name for a scheduling link as well as add labels to make organizing things a bit more simpler.
We've streamlined how cancelation works for scheduling link events to make the whole process more intuitive and simpler.
When someone schedules an event, they can now cancel it at any time by visiting the event page in simplero (soon we'll allow them to reschedule as well!).
You as an admin, can also cancel an event from the admin page of the event. Just go to the event page in your admin dashboard, and you'll find an option to cancel under the '...' menu.
We'll send you a e-mail when an event is canceled. And of course fire any triggers you had added to your scheduling link.
If the scheduler simply declines the invite from their Google calendar, we'll send you an e-mail letting you know they declined the invite and if you want to cancel the event.
Canceling an event will free you up to take bookings for that time slot again. And it will remove that event from Zoom and Google calendar if they existed.
We've also tweaked the style of the booking page to make it more pretty and easy to read.
This is just scratching the surface.
We've got a ton more improvements/features in-progress and they're coming real soon.
Stay tuned and let us know what you think about these improvements!
Added Contact name & email to affiliates table (thanks George for suggestion)
You can now customize the message sent to your affiliates by Paypal when you pay them. Access these settings on the configure tab for your affiliate program. You can leave these settings blank to let PayPal decide the message, which ends up being acceptable, if a bit generic.
The columns Broadcasts and Last Broadcast At are now sortable on Lists and Products tables
We'll now show the name of your product on the embedded checkout to make it simpler for your customers to know what they're buying.
Inserting scheduling links on your broadcasts/websites is now much simpler!
Just open the usual link picker, choose 'Scheduling links,' and then select the Scheduling link you want to insert.
We'll now no longer show your e-mail address on the scheduling link's booking page.
That way you don’t need to reveal your direct email to your clients, yet they can still schedule with you.
We've added a Manual payout method option to the affiliate programs configuration screen.
You can use this if you want to handle paying your affiliates yourself and not using PayPal.
This was allowed previously, but the new option makes it simpler to state what your intentions are.
Pipelines & Deals
We are thrilled to introduce our latest feature, Pipelines and Deals.
Deals help you track prospects through your sales process, as outlined in your Pipeline.
You define your Pipeline with the stages that prospects would go through—from new, scheduled, closed, follow-up, not qualified, etc.
Then you add Deals to the pipeline and move them through the Pipeline, either manually by simply dragging and dropping, or via automations.
Throughout, you can assign a Deal Owner, you can track the value of each Deal, you can add notes to keep everyone on the same page.
This is part of our effort to make Simplero the simplest, most powerful High Ticket CRM on the planet, making it simpler for you sell high ticket coaching programs and masterminds.
Find the new Deals section under the Sales tab in your Dashboard navigation bar.
Pipelines are defined under Settings > Account > Pipelines.
You can now easily add transcriptions for all lessons on a course.
Select the lessons in the Lessons view of your course then choose "Transcribe video/audio lessons…” from the dropdown.
This feature is available on Skyrocket only.
🗓️ New feature: Scheduling Links (Beta)
Now you can create Scheduling Links in Simplero! Learn more. This makes it way simpler to run an online business. No need to use Calendly or Acuity or any of those calendar programs.
This feature is still in beta, and we’ve got tons of improvements on their way. But it is 100% usable right now, so please go use it!
💥 Zoom integration is now available on the Starter plan!
You can use the Zoom integration to automatically create events on zoom when someone uses the new 'Scheduling link' feature in Simplero to schedule an event with you.
Improved country auto-detection of phone number fields on the new order form design to make it simpler for people checking out.
When using Stripe, we now support payments with Bancontact, an online Belgian payment method, to make payments simpler for your users.
Enable Bancontact in your Stripe account, then enable it in Simplero under Settings > Payment Processors > Stripe.
Simplified the Settings page for Landing Pages and embedded Forms
When following search result links to a specific point in a video or audio, we will now auto-play that video or audio if the browser allows us to.
If the browser doesn't allow it for videos, we will at least update the still image to reflect that point in the video.
This makes it simpler for your customers to get to the content they're looking for.
Automatic transcripts on course lessons (Skyrocket)
We just added a new feature to the course lesson videos.
Starting today, you can now access video transcripts with a click of a button.
This new feature allows you to read along with the video as it plays.
The transcript highlights the phrase being said on the video in real-time, making it easier to follow along and understand the content.
To access the transcript, simply click on the 'transcript' button located below the video player in any course lesson video with a transcript available. You can also toggle the transcript on and off during video playback.
In order to generate the transcript, go to Content > Media Library, check the videos in question, and choose “Transcribe”.
We’ll make that last bit even simpler in the coming days.
Now storing auto-generated video summaries as timestamped segments, making it simpler to link to those points in the video.
When writing a newsletter, you can now choose if it goes at the top of the queue, bottom of queue, or if you want to send it immediately. Always looking to make it simpler.
If you have enabled the iDEAL payment method with Stripe or the ACH payment method with EasyPayDirect and haven't provided a custom label, we will now use 'iDEAL' or 'ACH' on your order form instead of your payment processor's name.
This makes it simpler for you to keep your order form understandable to your customers.
Our Spanish translation is now substantially complete, so you can choose Spanish for your sites and landing pages y sus usuarios pueden verlos en español. Thanks to user vida-aurea on translation.io. This will make it much simpler for your Spanish speaking customers.
We've simplified our subtitle transcription to show easier-to-understand captions when there are multiple people speaking in a video or audio.
Webbooks: We've simplified how table-of-contents is generated for pages with lots of headings.
Geeky details:
Before, we used all h1,h2,h3,h4 headings on the page to generate table-of-contents, always!
Even if you had 100 headings in total! That'd mean you'd have 100s of item in your table-of-contents.
But now, we've made it so that we'll always include h1 and h2 headings, but only include h3 and h4 headings if total number of headings does not exceed 10.
That makes it simple for you: Use headings in the way most relevant to your content, and we’ll automatically make a table of contents that’s helpful, not overwhelming.
Using zoom events on Simplero just got a bit simpler! You can now edit more things on your zoom events right from Simplero. Specifically, you can now edit time & duration of a non-recurring zoom event (on top of title & description which was always possible). Additionally, you can now also edit registration type for all zoom events (i.e whether an event requires registration or not). And delete any zoom events! And in case you missed it last week, registering to zoom events now works right on the Simplero event page as well - i.e it's no longer necessary to redirect people to the Zoom's registration page.
Fixed that downloading/exporting video analytics table used to export data about all media files in your account, which was incorrect.
To make it simpler for you to know when your webhooks are failing, we will now send you notifications when it happens.
Fixed an issue where some subtitles in a video or audio would not show.
Fixed an issue where video and audio subtitles could show too much text at once.
On the Integrations screen of the admin interface, we now show the result of the last time we sent data to your webhooks.
Improved the Newsletter feature UI a bit to make it easier and funner to work with
Webhooks you use are now listed on the Integrations screen in the admin interface. You can use this to see where your webhooks are being used, give them useful names, and update the URLs they go to.
Fixed a bug where affiliate links would not track clicks if they went to a Simplero hosted page on a different account.
When search results on your site match the transcript of a video or audio, we will include link to that point in the video or audio.
People can now register for zoom events directly on the event page on Simplero (just as they always could for non-zoom events). Before, for zoom events, we always linked to the zoom registration page to register for the event when viewing the event page (even if the person viewing the event page was already registered). And there was no ability for people to see their registration status or cancel their registration. Now it will all behave exactly like it did for non-zoom events!
Hide zoom integration columns on the participants table for non-zoom-integrated events
We've integrated with an improved service for generating transcripts and subtitles from videos.
Going forward, transcripts and subtitles will not be generated automatically, but you can easily generate them from your Media Library.
We’ll also generate a summary, and a list of keywords.
Translation is supported in multiple different languages, and we can also detect multiple speakers.
This feature is available to all members on the Skyrocket plan.
When installing a DFY template it will by default clone all the videos without labeling them. Also, we have removed the check to clone images and other assets only if the size is less than 50 MB, now any asset would be cloned. The assets will be cloned only when the DFY template is shared from some other account, in the case of the own DFY template the objects would be linked to the existing assets.
✨ Embedded order forms in a modal anwyhere on your site! ✨
- You can now easily embed an order form in a modal anywhere on your site or landing page by using the simplero link dialog (click here/see screenshot below).
- When inserting a link, just choose 'Products', select your product, then click on 'Embedded/One-step order form'.
- We plan to polish a bunch of things on the one-step/embedded order forms over the next few weeks & months. But do let us know of any issues you face by opening a ticket.
We'll now only append the site/account name to your page's title tag if it does not get super long (>65 characters). Before, we always appended the site/account name to the title tag. The problem with that is search engines might cut-off part of the text with '...' if it's very long. This applies to any page on the site (e.g course lessons or forum posts) as well as landing pages.
The custom affiliate links would now track the number of opt-ins if it links to any opt-in page, the count will be recorded from today (10th Feb 2023)
Fixed a bug where the number of list subscribers shown when sending a broadcast or creating a segment didn't take into account subscribers imported from a CSV file.
Send broadcast on product would now send it to active participants instead of billing contacts.
It was always supposed to be that way, but a bug was introduced a while ago where it went to billing contacts instead of participants.
We have fixed the issue where it was required to check all the check boxes of a participant field on order form to purchase a product.
Webbooks 📚
Webbooks are a perfect tool for long-form content, which are also very useful for SEO. Search engines love them! You can now build these in Simplero with ease. Check a live example. Learn more about how to use webbooks.
Allow sorting by additional columns in our table views
We've sped up updating large segments.
Fixed a bug where you weren't able to update a page's slug that had non-latin characters in it.
