WHAT'S FRESH? 

THESE ARE THE RECENT CHANGES TO SIMPLERO

Fix
Dec 17, 2020

Google had a major outage this week which caused thousands of bounces on mail sent to gmail accounts. We have marked all those contacts as not-bounced, and you should be able to send mail to them normally again.

Improvement
Dec 17, 2020

When using the Spreedly payment processor, we will now pass in the purchaser's phone number, if provided. Some gateways require this.

Improvement

Cleaned up Settings > 'Plan and billing' and 'Taxes' pages.

New 'Text and Buttons' section in the page builder

Improvement
Dec 16, 2020

You can now choose the color for the top/bottom border around numbers in the Numebrs section on sites

Feature
Dec 16, 2020

You can now mute members of your site, preventing them from creating comments or forum posts. This can be useful if your Marketing site has issues with spam or other undesirable user content. You can use this on Membership sites too, but you can completely revoke access there instead.

Feature
Dec 16, 2020

We've added Activity and Members tabs for your Marketing website if it has members.

Improvement
Dec 16, 2020

Page 'slug', ie the part of the URL that comes after the domain name, is now editable inline in the table

Feature
Dec 16, 2020

Facebook Pixel Integration

Added a new Tracking page in your Settings, where you can now simply add your Facebook Pixel ID, and we'll handle all the tracking and send all the relevant events for you automagically! No more complicated setup. It Just Works!

Improvement
Dec 15, 2020

Sort site pages so the home page is shown first by default. Seems the most logical.

Fix
Dec 15, 2020

Use Site's internal name in the navigation

Feature
Dec 15, 2020

From any label in Simplero (or the labels list!), you can see every object you've assigned that label.

Feature
Dec 15, 2020

You can now use anchor links in your e-mails!

It used to be that they didn't work on the e-mails or the web version of the email. But now, they do work on the web version! And if someone clicks on an anchor link in an e-mail they will be redirected to the web version and scrolled to the proper anchor.

Improvement
Dec 14, 2020

Improved the in-table editor for entering meta title and description on the SEO tab for your pages

They are now less jumpy, and the same height as the text you are editing. You can access them from the "SEO" tab on your landing pages/website pages table.

Improvement
Dec 12, 2020

You can now send the 'magic' login link to a participant who purchased access to a site, whether or not that person currently has a Simplero ID set up or not, and whether or not that person has logged in to the site in the past. This makes it easier to solve those cases when people can't get access to their stuff.

Improvement
Dec 12, 2020

Added actions (unsubscribe/resubscribe/suspend/etc) to the Subscriptions table under Lists

Feature
Dec 12, 2020

Show all clicks for an affiliate program or an affiliate, so you can keep track of all the relevant activity related to your affiliate campaigns.

Improvement
Dec 11, 2020

Nerd alert: Prepopulate form fields from URL params

Landing pages will now prepopulate form fields from URL parameters. Previously this only worked for the 'email' param, now it works for name, firstnames, lastname, and any custom field. To set a custom field value, either use 'field.interpolationkey=foo', or the 'field134936_value=foo' format. The latter you can find by going to Settings > Fields and clicking the pencil, then 'Show field names for API'. Like I said, nerd alert. But super handy for when you need it.

Improvement
Dec 10, 2020

Site search results now include site members if the site has the member directory enabled.

Optimization
Dec 10, 2020

If you were finding the page editor slow to load, you might find it a lot faster now.

Improvement
Dec 10, 2020

Nerd alert: The script URL for an inactive embedded landing page now returns a short comment '// Form is not active' instead of a 404 error. This changes absolutely nothing for you or your website visitors, unless your visitors are bots or nosy nerds.

Improvement
Dec 10, 2020

Show invoices for an affiliate program

Now you can see all the charges for your affiliate program on a separate tab. That way you can easily see not just what new purchases are coming in, but also every single charge attributed to an affiliate, what the commission was, and more.

Improvement
Dec 10, 2020

Labels are too useful to hide in the overstuffed "Account settings" page, so now they have a settings page all to themselves.

Optimization
Dec 9, 2020

The purchases table should load much faster now.

Improvement
Dec 9, 2020

Always grab a few animated GIFs for each video you upload

We make two from the beginning, one from the end, and one in the middle. You can add additional animated GIFs anytime you want.

Improvement
Dec 9, 2020

Bringing the 'All' tab back in the media dialog, and making the search persistent across tabs ... and into the Stock photos tab

Improvement
Dec 9, 2020

If you're having problems with bots signing up for your lists, you can try a setting we've added on the Confirmation tab on lists that will make it so all signups, not just ones we deem suspicious, are bot-checked.

Improvement
Dec 9, 2020

Course navigation now sticks to the top while consuming a course lesson.

Improvement
Dec 9, 2020

SVG images you use on your pages are now included in the same way as any other image type. This should make them display in a more consistent manner.

Fix
Dec 8, 2020

When creating a segment or broadcast for members of a private site, it will no longer include members who do not have permission to view the site (such as those with expired subscriptions).

Improvement
Dec 8, 2020

Removed the Your Sites menu on membership sites and websites

Both your website and your membership sites had this menu called Your Sites which would list all other membership sites that the person had access to. It was a little confusing, and added an additional menu item, taking up valuable space in your header. I've now moved that functionality to the user/login menu to the far right, cleaning up the menu bar. While I was at it, I separated out links to Your Profile and Your Account. Your Profile is your name, photo, bio, etc. Your Account is where you access all the stuff you've bought on Simplero, your affiliate accounts, and more. This will make it faster & easier to get to your profile, which is something a lot of people will want to do. We do want to do a deeper redesign of the whole Your Account/Your Profile area of the app, but for now, this is a move in a cleaner direction.

Improvement

Cleaned up your customers' 'Your Account' area

'Your Account' is the area where your customers can go find all their stuff. Their purchases, membership sites, affiliate accounts, profile, etc. We do want to do a deeper redesign of this, but for now, I cleaned up how we display the links and the menu to make it a bit more clear. -CC

Feature
Dec 7, 2020

New page section: Text inside a scrollbar

This will allow you to write text constrained to a maximum height - if the text grows longer than your specified height, it will automatically get a scrollbar and remain at that height.

Improvement
Dec 7, 2020

We've updated the list of countries on the order form and are now displaying country names in the same language as the rest of the form.

Improvement
Dec 5, 2020

When you're done writing a newsletter and you're ready to queue it, we'll now show when the newsletter will go out right there next to the button.

Improvement
Dec 5, 2020

Cleaned up the columns we show for purchases for an affiliate program. They don't all make sense in this context, and it was getting crowded.

Feature
Dec 4, 2020

Added new triggers for when a known contact visits the order form when sales are closed, or the product has been sold out.

Optimization
Dec 3, 2020

We now process delivery events much faster, so you should never be wondering for hours (or even minutes) if your broadcast really got delivered.

Improvement
Dec 3, 2020

Streamlined a few things about the media dialog and the WYSIWYG editor as it relates to the media dialog

Improvement
Dec 2, 2020

Feature

We've added a built-in tab that lets you review the emails you sent that bounced. See it on the Recipients page of your sent broadcasts and automation emails.

Improvement
Dec 2, 2020

Acceptance fields are now properly displayed on embedded landing pages - with their label & content.

Improvement
Dec 1, 2020

When choosing when product is available for sale, also show any prices with time restrictions, to avoid annoying snafus.

Improvement
Dec 1, 2020

Cleaned up the Broadcast report page. The right sidebar was pretty messy. Now it's a lot neater. Look for more links in the '...' menu on the top-right.

Improvement
Nov 30, 2020

On an affiliate program, moved the Payouts tab up before the separator for consistency.

Improvement
Nov 30, 2020

Tags now have an owner and a description, and a page where you can more easily manage and edit triggers.

Show purchases for an affiliate program

Improvement
Nov 27, 2020

You can now include commission percent in mailings. Note, though, that it only works when the recipient is an Affiliate. Otherwise it'll just give you an empty string.
