WHAT'S FRESH?
THESE ARE THE RECENT CHANGES TO SIMPLERO
You can now directly change the newsletter schedule time from its summary page.
The admin dashboard could be really slow to load sometimes for people who send a lot of broadcasts to a lot of contacts. Sorry about that. It's a whole lot faster now.
Membership Levels
Would you like to offer different service or access levels for your membership site—for example, Silver, Gold, and Platinum membership—and let your customers upgrade themselves to higher levels?
Or would you like to offer annual and monthly pricing for your subscription, AND let your customers switch between them with prorated pricing?
Now you can, on the Rule the World plan. Get the details.
Image Attachments on forum post/comments & course comments now have a preview!
If your customer typos the domain part of their email address, we'll fix it for them automatically. ("gmail.con" is the 82nd most popular email domain across all Simplero contacts!)
Customer service upgrade! You can now delete your customers' old saved credit cards from their contact page.
Better Course & Membership Reporting
- Site members list now has available columns to display progress of course lessons completed and videos watched.
- Filter site members by contact tags, product, or list.
- Course lesson views table can be downloaded.
We've re-added support for WebinarJam and EverWebinar integrations, allowing you to easily create links to your webinars. Visit your Integrations page to configure them.
SEO upgrade! Your websites' sitemap.xml now shows robots and search engines a more complete picture. You can get more info and review all your pages' sitemap visibility here.
Did you know your blog has an RSS feed? It does! (And it has had one for a loooong time.) There's a link for robots and RSS software where robots expect to find it, but if you ever need to get it for yourself, there's now a handy link in the sidebar of the Site > Blog > Settings page.
Many European countries and Canadian provinces have updated their sales tax rates recently, so we're updating our defaults. This includes the temporary German tax rate reduction taking effect July 1. If you've edited the tax rates on your account, we won't touch them, but we suggest reviewing your tax settings.
You can now set landing pages to have a language other than your account's default customer language. This will ensure that app-provided text, like field labels and error messages, show in the proper language.
If you have an automation that waits for a specific time range on a future date, we will now always continue the automation at the start of your time range.
You can now set up a Stripe payment processor if you're in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Malta, and Romania (along with the other 34 countries previously supported).
We've improved the look of the Instagram feed section you can use on your pages.
Order bumps now work better with manual payment methods, like bank transfers and cash.
You can use PayPal and order bumps together, QuickPay with order bumps shows the right total, and you'll save a few cents on transaction fees when using order bumps with any processor. See details
Returning to worksheets from lessons or notification emails once again works reliably, even in Safari. (Sorry about this one: Apple made some changes that broke our system for keeping people logged in. Other browsers experienced the issue more rarely.)
Contacts that are stopped in automations are no longer necessarily included in your plan's billing contact count (they could still be included for other reasons).
Simplero fully supports Visa's new trial subscription requirements. Read more
We've added help resources to the main navigation of the admin interface and made some small improvements to the ticket submitting interface.
The 'Recent blog posts' section in the page builder now supports 2-column and 3-column grid layouts in addition to the classic single column.
You can now pin forum posts to the top of either their category or the forum front page (or both!)
Changing an automation wait step will now affect those already waiting in that step.
The Done-for-you templates section (formerly "Done-for-you campaigns") now includes a list of templates you have installed and lets you bring back the checklist for any of them.
Members of your sites can now choose to have different notification options for posts and comments.
Including an image in a comment on a forum, lesson, or blog post once again works on the iPhone.
While editing landing pages, you can now view the result as a desktop, tablet, or mobile device would.
Pages will now keep track of how often they're viewed.
Added a 'Fixed repeating name' action to fix contacts whose last name is repeated.
You now have the option to hide your landing pages from search engines.
Now you can add contacts to an affiliate program from a contacts list or in an automation.
You can now rename completed broadcasts.
Charges sent through Stripe will now include metadata describing the purchase and product.
When your contacts cancel a subscription, they will now be asked to provide a reason. These can be viewed in the 'Cancellation reason' column on the Purchases page.
You can now choose which kinds of charges will trigger receipts to be sent to those who purchase your products. View this setting on the Selling page under each product.
While editing pages, you can now view the result as a desktop, tablet, or mobile device would.
Tickets dialog on your site now also works well when used without a knowledge base.
You can now import blog posts from Joomla.
Instagram changed their API and started turning off old connections. To re-enable your Instagram feed sections on your web pages, connect our new Instagram integration.
Add a tickets widget to your sites to make it easier for your contacts to get help. Enable it in your tickets settings.
Two new done-for-you campaigns: Freebie Giveaway to quickly and easily build your list, and Product Launch: a complete set of landing pages, a list, and an automation to build your list while you sell to it. Both ready to install in a couple clicks. Check them out!
You can now have an automation wait until a specific date and time in the contact's time zone. You can use this to time your emails so your contacts receive them the morning of a specific day, for example.
Choosing "Override info on existing contacts" when importing is safer now: only those columns that you select will be overriden; all others will be left alone.
We now do a better job of guessing your contacts' time zone if they bought from you or signed up for your list via a form.
We've fixed our informational spam checking on broadcasts, newsletters, and library emails. This will give you an idea of the likelihood that your emails will be considered spam by the recipient.
Added sales_amount to Zapier Zaps for purchases, which gives the total price for the purchase, whether payment has been received or not.
Yesterday we introduced a bug that stopped the link button from working in the rich text editor 😱. It's fixed now: sorry about that!
