WHAT'S FRESH?
THESE ARE THE RECENT CHANGES TO SIMPLERO
We heard you like charts, so we added a few to each product's dashboard.
You've said for a while that Tags belong under Contacts, not in Settings. And now that's where they are.
You can now easily skip a newsletter if you need to, but still keep the queue intact.
There's now a link from a media file on a form (say a video for a lesson) to the admin page for that media file, so you can easily get to where you can choose a different still image. A small thing, but really improves a common workflow.
Calvin made a boo-boo and messed up the ordering of delivered newsletters. Fixed now. Thanks for letting me know, Morten!
When duplicating an automation step that sends an email, you now have the option to reuse the same email or to duplicate it as well.
You can now insert a sequence number into the subject line of a newsletter, so it'll automatically say 'Newsletter #17' or whatever you want to say. Just add '#{{count}}' to the subject line, and we'll automatically replace it before sending.
Several fixes for Newsletters
If you miss your newsletter, it's now super easy to just tell us to send the next newsletter in the queue right now, and keep the timing for the next newsletter intact.
I've also fixed a bug when you drag to reorder newsletters in the queue. The bug was only cosmetical, but, you know, cosmetics matter.
Updated the ordering of columns in the table to make it more useful.
Default to remind you the moment you missed your newsletter, plus an hour later.
And finally, rendering the date and time for the newsletters in your queue in a way that's easier to read at a glance.
Contact notes are now fully fledged WYSIWYG fields!
The Contact note modal now doesn't close when you hit the Esc button. Before, it was too easy to loose your notes if you accidentally hit the wrong key. No more!
After a contact reports an email as spam through our system (as opposed to through their email provider), we now show a nice page, and also remind them that they can turn on Do Not Contact to avoid any emails from this sender in the future.
Warn on the Product Thank You Page if the customer has their Do Not Contact setting turned on, and offer to turn it off again.
Added Copyright (c) Year to the default footer on sites and landing pages.
Show who last edited a Broadcast or Email for Automation. Makes it easier to figure out who on the team to talk to as the team grows bigger.
Filter buyers and non-buyers
Now, whenever you select segments of contacts, you can now separate buyers from non-buyers. Select any group of contacts, then add a Condition where you choose either 'Purchased any product' for buyers, or 'Not purchased any product' for non-buyers. Easy peasy.
Remember, you can always see your buyers and non-buyers on the main Contacts screen. Click 'Customers' to see buyers, and 'Leads' to see only non-buyers.
In forums on membership sites, when the post is truncated, there's now a 'Read more' link, which expands the post in-place, making it easier to read the whole thing (This one's for Ryan -CCo)
You know that search box at the top of this screen? Now it searches relevant help guides, too.
You can now add buttons to a Hero Image section. Yay for buttons and CTAs!
New phone number field for forms on pages looks great and automatically detects your visitor's country code.
You can now sort worksheet responses by respondent, Simplero ID, and answer.
Your affiliates' dashboard is now much faster, especially if you have a lot of products.
You can now disable triggers. Use this to turn them off while retaining their configuration should want to turn them on again.
Try new high-converting landing page templates: "Business Bundle" and "One-Page Wonder".
Your newsletters can now remind you to get back on track if you miss your deadline
Setup reminders when creating a newsletter schedule or from the Settings tab of your existing newsletter schedule.
Site redirects now preserve the query string from the original request. (You probably don't need this, but it can be helpful in some advanced tracking scenarios.)
We've made changes to stop some mail clients who follow links in the emails you send from triggering actions like adding tags and starting automations inadvertently.
Try the stylish new Santa Fe Chic landing page template for warm colors (though of course you can change them!) and parallax scrolling effects. The new section types only work with this landing page template for now, but if you love them, let us know. Who knows where they might turn up?
New, richer landing page designs are coming soon—each with their own unique theme! So starting now, theme customization and editing for landing pages can be found in the new "Theme" tab for each landing page and under the "Appearance" tab when you're using the page editor.
Now choose from over a million free & beautiful stock images for your website, landing pages, and emails. When choosing an image, click the 'Stock photos' tab and search!
You can now configure your newsletters to have a biweekly schedule.
Ireland has reduced its VAT rate from 23% to 21% until March 2021. If you were using the default Irish VAT rate, we've updated you to the new rate.
Keep your customer contacts in one place: You can now create support tickets on behalf of your customer from the tickets dashboard or the customer's contact record.
Sorting tables by calculated columns should now be a bit quicker.
We've added a new action for automations, triggers, and bulk actions: setting a custom Date or Date & time field to the current time.
Simplero ❤️ you
When offering coaching programs, consulting engagements, or other high end offers, it’s common to have either an application process, or some other milestone that needs to be met in order to trigger an additional payment. We have now made it possible to model that within Simplero. You simply add another installment, and instead of selecting “after a while” or “at a specific date”, you say that it’ll be charged at “a milestone”. You get to specify what that milestone is (“upon approval”, “after delivering the first draft”, etc. The order form will show the correct billing structure, and when the milestone has been hit, you simply go to the Purchase screen and tell Simplero to collect that additional installment now.
Here is an improvement to the forum post trigger released last week. You can now select a forum category when setting the tigger, and it will fire for that specific category you've selected.
Would you like to keep track of members' activity on your site? You can do that now with these new triggers called 'A new member joins', 'A member uploads a profile photo' and 'A member creates a forum post'. You can set them on a membership site and they are available for adding in the 'Triggers' section of the settings page and when adding a starting trigger to an existing automation.
You can now directly add a page to your site while previewing it by clicking on the simplero admin bar at the top left.
Bounced emails will no longer cause the contact to be set to Do Not Contact. The fact that the contact's email bounces will be stored and can be reset separately from their Do Not Contact preference.
Ever tried to comment on a forum post, but the thread was so long your finger got a cramp from swiping all the way to the bottom? No more! We now collapse older comments in forums, blogs, and courses when you're viewing on phone or tablet.
We made search results better-organized and easier on the eyes. Check it out using the search box in the top-right.
Totals are now calculated on all the filtered rows while viewing a table instead of only the rows in the current page.
There's now a new trigger you can set in the 'Content' tab on a product. It's called 'Purchase: Abandoned for 30+ minutes' and it fires around 30minutes after a purchase is abandoned.
Podcast feed links for courses should work again! For most people. If you have a podcast app. This is surprisingly finicky. Holler at me in the Simplero (Official) Facebook group with details of your phone and podcasts app if it's not working for you. -Joshua
Problems connecting your domain name without 'www' to your Simplero site? Check out our new and improved instructions.
Fixed the schedule references in generated WebinarJam and EverWebinar links.
Admin page for viewing a newsletter schedule now has a cleaner and simpler view.
For those who use PayPal, we've added a button to the configuration page that will let you test API access. API access is required to use all features of the payment processor, including triggering refunds.
Newsletter reminder emails will now contain a list of your drafts with a link to directly edit them.
