We convert images to WebP to reduce file size and speed up page loading; however, sometimes, the WebP version is bigger than the original. Going forward, we won't convert to WebP if it results in a larger file size.

We are updating how we do various select fields on the admin dashboard (i.e input fields where you select labels/contact/lists/etc…).

Updates to the label, automation, contact, list, affiliate, affiliate program select fields have already been rolled out.
And we’ll be rolling it our for other select fields too shortly (e.g site/page/course/lessons/etc.).

We’ll also be improving these new select fields a bunch in the coming few days/weeks.
We’d love to hear from you if you’ve got feedback.

Fixed an issue on order form 2.0 where if you had a required name field on the participant and were asking for separate first and last names, the form would not allow you to submit and only show a error (only in some specific cases)

Feature
May 15, 2023

Automations can now be set to “not live” so they will no longer accept any new flows.

This makes it simpler to keep your automations and data around, while making sure they no longer run.

Simplification
May 14, 2023

New automation conditions

You now have two new conditions only available in automations:

  • Number of emails in the current automation opened

  • Number of emails in the current automation clicked

We also added a new general condition:

  • Number of emails clicked

Previously you could only add conditions by opened.

This lets you simply say things like “Only send this email to people who already expressed interest by clicking at least one link in a previous email in this automation”.

Number of emails in automation opened/clicked

Improvement
May 12, 2023

The new design of the progress bar that shows the uploading and conversion process is now present in media file tables and configuration pages.

Improvement
May 12, 2023

Email open events are no longer considered an engagement for the purpose of the Unengaged contacts feature. We've found that open events are often sent automatically without the user actually opening the email. This change will help you ensure your email is considered high quality, as it will enable you to only send to the recipients who are actually engaging with you.

Improvement
May 12, 2023

You can now turn off showing a transcript in lessons. Find the new switch in the media asset config page.

Improvement
May 11, 2023

E.g when someone visits xyz.simplero.com/cart/123-product/information?name=John+Doe&email=johndoe@gmail.com, we'll now prefill the name as "John Doe", and email as "johndoe@gmail.com"

Fix
May 8, 2023

I recently got a chance to spend the weekend with renowned conversion rate optimization expert Matt Stafford, and I cajoled him into reviewing Simplero’s order form and checkout experience.

He had some solid recommendations for how to improve things based on years and years of user testing.

We’ve now implemented most of them.

They’re little things like adding arrows to buttons, and changing the label on the email field to “Email for order confirmation”.

All these little things add up to solid improvements in conversions.

You’re welcome!

Improvement
May 5, 2023

We've added support for more popular social media sites in our custom fields: Now also supporting TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Reddit. It's almost like we're now in 2023!

Fix

Fixed a bug where affiliates custom fields created on admin would not have custom field values saved.

Simplification
May 4, 2023

The 'Send quick email' dialog now auto-fills with your name and email as sender name so you don't have to type it each time.

Improvement

Fix
Apr 26, 2023

City autocompletion

Fixed issue on Order Form 2.0, where the 'City' field would not automatically populate for some searches in New York City or Sweden.

Simplification
Apr 25, 2023

We’ve made it easier to see when a purchase is an upsell/downsell/order bump to another purchase — or when this purchase has order bumps/upsells/downsells.

In other words, it’s easier to see how they all connect.

Simplification
Apr 25, 2023

Contact notes simplified

We’ve simplified and unified the way you add and edit Contact notes across the app.

Improvement
Apr 25, 2023

Deals now have a description field for you to add unstructured information about the deal. This is in addition to notes and custom fields.

Optimization

Fix

Fixed a bug where embedded landing pages could sometimes not appear if you placed the include script in the HTML head.

Optimization
Apr 21, 2023

We now use responsive images for the main content of blog posts to reduce download size on mobile.

Optimization
Apr 20, 2023

On sites, we will now only load our text editor code when it's on screen. This prevents unnecessary loading when it's far down on a page, like at the bottom of a long blog post, which helps pages load faster.

Improvement
Apr 19, 2023

Added “Publish status” and “Publish at” columns for Forum Posts tables.

Fix
Apr 18, 2023

We've added guards against sending repeated text messages to the same person on the same day in case of a misconfiguration or technical problem.

Don’t want to accidentally spam anyone, especially over text!

Improvement
Apr 18, 2023

Email deliverability improvement

We will now automatically block sending to emails on hosts that are specifically designed to be spam traps.

This will help prevent your emails from getting reported as spam, and it’ll dramatically improve the deliverability of all members of Simplero.

Yay for more emails getting through.

On a side note, we’ve been investing a lot in improved deliverability recently, and this is one example of this.

Optimization
Apr 18, 2023

Improved the loading speed of the 'Recent user contributions' section.

Improvement
Apr 18, 2023
