The Simplero Changelog: Here's what we've been up to...

When you add a bookmark in the transcript, you'll now be asked to name it right away — if you change your mind, just cancel and nothing is created. And when deleting a bookmark, the audio or video continues playing uninterrupted.

The chatbot input field on a course lesson page used to render several lines tall by default, taking up unnecessary space in the sidebar. It now starts at a single line and grows as you type, matching the chatbot input everywhere else.

When you import a video or audio file, Simplero now correctly generates automatic chapter bookmarks once encoding finishes — even if the transcript was ready before the video finished processing. Previously, imported files longer than your bookmark threshold could end up with no bookmarks.

Tapping the model name under an AI message on a mobile device now opens a full-screen sheet from the bottom instead of a tiny popup that appeared off-screen. The same improvement applies to the model selector when composing a new message.

When adding a link anywhere in Simplero, you can now pick Podcasts, Bots, and Idea boards directly from the link picker — no more copying and pasting URLs by hand.

We've moved wiki maintenance fully into the background — the coach no longer pauses to file articles after each chat, so replies feel more direct. When the coach does pull from your wiki for context, it now reads the full relevant articles instead of fragments, so answers reflect the synthesis your wiki has built up. Nothing for you to do — just chat.

xAI's latest Grok 4.3 model is now an option in your chat bot's model selector - it's great for tasks that need strong reasoning and tool use.

You can now use {{course_name}} in emails for lesson events (lesson viewed, completed, or uncompleted), as well as {{course_name}} in certificate notification emails. Just click the personalization dropdown in the email editor to insert them.

You can now drop contact personalization variables — like {{firstname}}, {{fullname}}, or {{email}} — into the Text at the top of the login email field under Settings → Sales → Products. Each contact will see their own details when the email is sent. Use the Insert variable button above the editor to add them.

When your account base currency (e.g. GBP) differs from the currency a purchase was made in (e.g. EUR), the Simplero New Purchase trigger in Zapier now correctly sends the purchase amounts in the purchase currency. Previously it was sending the base-currency equivalent amount, causing mismatches when passing data to tools like Xero.

We've upgraded the emoji picker across the platform — in facet values, badges, and chat. You now have access to all modern emojis that were missing before. Just open the emoji picker and search or browse to find them.

You can now trigger automations when a member submits a testimonial. Go to Automations → New automation and choose "Testimonial submitted" as the trigger to automatically send a notification, tag the contact, or take any other action right when a new testimonial comes in.

When you add a podcast to your site's navigation, you can now choose the URL slug it lives at — for example, yoursite.com/podcast instead of yoursite.com/podcasts/123.

Open the navigation editor, click the podcast nav link, pick your podcast, and fill in the Path field with whatever slug you want. Your podcast will be served at that URL.

Your podcast's RSS feed URL stays stable at /podcasts/<id>.rss no matter what you change, so any podcast directories you've already submitted to will keep working.

Clicking page numbers on a blog posts element no longer reloads the entire page — only the blog posts section updates, so your scroll position is preserved.

When you sync an Apple Calendar to your scheduling preferences, recurring events (like a weekly team meeting) will now correctly block off all their occurrences — not just the first one. Scheduling links will no longer show those time slots as available.

When browsing saved blocks in the page builder using Safari, the edit and delete buttons that appear on hover were being cut off and wouldn't respond to clicks. This is now fixed.

When a landing page button is configured to redirect to an on-page item after someone opts in, they will now be scrolled to that item on the page instead of landing on the home page.

If your Simplero account is paused, you can now receive login magic-link and password recovery emails again. Previously these system emails were blocked along with marketing emails, locking admins out of their accounts.

When an email to one of your contacts bounces, you'll now find it listed under Settings → Contacts → Bounced emails with the bounce reason, the source (broadcast / automation vs. transactional), and a link to the contact. Recent bounces also surface as a widget on your admin dashboard so you can spot deliverability problems at a glance. Click the truncated bounce message to read the full reason from the receiving mail server.

Simplero Coach now creates or updates an object on your behalf.

Ask things like ‘Create a landing page for an event on…’. Give it as much details as possible to get a better result.
