WHAT'S FRESH?
THESE ARE THE RECENT CHANGES TO SIMPLERO
We added the ability to bulk change the affiliate associated with a Subscriber to a List, or a Contact.
We previously only gave users the mp3 version of downloadable audio content for purchases and subscriptions. If you're using a non-mp3 format (e.g. for higher quality or extra features), we will now give users the option to download your original or the mp3 version.
In the Purchases table, make Product a link to the Product.
Reorganized the Course Settings screen, making it more clear what shows for people who have access vs people who don't.
Show media file created at in the table as date. More useful than '7 months ago'.
Allow changing the price even for a Freebie purchase. This may seem counter-intuitive, but even a free purchase is assigned a Price, but in this case, you weren't able to change it. Until now.
When a subscription changes to a different price of the same product, we no longer fire 'Participant: Deactivated' triggers on the product.
Added another view for Worksheet Responses that shows all the actual responses inline. You could manually select those columns yourself before, but this way they're already there for you, without having to click a bunch of buttons.
When a subscription changes to a different price of the same product, we no longer fire 'Participant: Activated' triggers on the product.
Use internal name for lists and products in Segments and Broadcast recipients
Added more columns, a separate view, and some filters to the Administrators table, to make it easier to see and manage your settings, particularly who can be assigned tickets, and who shows up in the support tickets widget. Also sort admins in the support ticket widget by last login, so the people who are most likely to be online show first.
New 'Horizontal list signup' page section. Great for lead capture without disrupting the flow of the page too much.
Pricing table on page sections can now include a 'strikeout' price, allowing you to show that a price is reduced from its normal price.
Video backgrounds play on iPhone now, too.
You can now choose a completely different image as the still frame for your videos.
Create ticket on behalf of contact
If you use tickets with your customers, you can now find "Create ticket on behalf of contact" in the [...] menu on the tickets page. This function has been available for a while, but the old button was too easy to mistake for opening a Simplero support ticket.
Fixed a bug where duplicating products would sometimes not properly duplicate their landing pages to the new product.
We've fixed an issue with affiliate tracking for subscriptions when the form submitted to a different domain.
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.
When using the Spreedly payment processor, we will now pass in the purchaser's phone number, if provided. Some gateways require this.
Cleaned up Settings > 'Plan and billing' and 'Taxes' pages.
When using the Spreedly payment processor, we will now pass in the purchaser's email address. Some gateways require this.
New 'Text and Buttons' section in the page builder
You can now choose the color for the top/bottom border around numbers in the Numebrs section on sites
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.
We've added Activity and Members tabs for your Marketing website if it has members.
Page 'slug', ie the part of the URL that comes after the domain name, is now editable inline in the table
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!
Sort site pages so the home page is shown first by default. Seems the most logical.
Use Site's internal name in the navigation
From any label in Simplero (or the labels list!), you can see every object you've assigned that label.
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.
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.
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.
Added actions (unsubscribe/resubscribe/suspend/etc) to the Subscriptions table under Lists
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.
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.
Site search results now include site members if the site has the member directory enabled.
If you were finding the page editor slow to load, you might find it a lot faster now.
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.
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.
Labels are too useful to hide in the overstuffed "Account settings" page, so now they have a settings page all to themselves.
The purchases table should load much faster now.
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.
Bringing the 'All' tab back in the media dialog, and making the search persistent across tabs ... and into the Stock photos tab
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.
Course navigation now sticks to the top while consuming a course lesson.
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.
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).
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.
