The Simplero Changelog: Here's what we've been up to...
Individual scheduling links now display the link type and the team member's name at the top, so you always know who the link belongs to.
The time zone used for availability times is also shown next to the recurring schedule, with a quick link to edit it if needed.
Your contact form can now ask visitors for their phone number. Turn it on with the new Include phone field switch in the contact form's settings — in the page builder or in the contact form section of your site theme.
When it's on, visitors get an extra phone field. The number they enter shows up in the notification email you receive and is saved to the cont…
When Disable chat is turned on for your branded mobile app, members no longer receive push notifications for new chat messages and reactions. Previously those notifications still went out and opened a Chat tab that was no longer there — now switching chat off turns it off completely.
Reacting to a message in a Simplero Live event's chat used to ping the message's author by email, push, and in-app — even though the chat itself is self-contained and sends no notifications. Now reactions stay in the live call too, so no one gets a spurious notification when someone reacts during or after the event.
Uploading a video with more than one audio track — common with dual-microphone or screen-plus-mic recordings — could fail during processing, leaving the video unplayable. These videos now encode all the way through, with the audio tracks mixed together and loudness-normalized so playback sounds right. If you have a video that failed to process before, just upload it again.
Videos encoded from recordings with multiple microphone tracks could play back with just one of the raw mic tracks instead of the combined, volume-balanced audio — in some players that meant the speaker was barely audible or missing entirely. Encoded videos now contain exactly one audio track: all microphones mixed together and loudness-normalized. This also makes video files a bit smaller. If one of your videos plays back with wrong or missing audio, re-encode it from the video's page in your admin area and it will come out right.
Sending a chat message with a file or resource attached could crash instead of sending — the message wouldn't go through and you'd see an error. Attachments now send normally in every chat.
If you've set up facets on your events, the facet filter dropdown now appears when viewing your events page in calendar mode — not just list mode. Events in the calendar also show their time alongside the title, so you can tell at a glance when things are happening.
When a non-logged-in visitor clicked "Read full text" on an acceptance checkbox during event registration, the full text appeared behind the registration popup. It now opens in its own dialog on top, so the text is always readable and comfortable on any screen size.
When an automation step fails, you can now see it right away. A new Failing column on the automations list shows how many flows have errors, and a red badge appears on the automation page itself. Click through to see exactly which contacts are stuck and on which step — no more guessing why contacts seem to disappear from your automations.
During a Simplero Live event, the chat button now shows a little red dot whenever new messages arrive while the chat panel is closed — so you can tell something's being said without keeping the chat open the whole time. Open the chat and the dot clears.
If you set up a scheduling link to redirect visitors to a specific page when they hit the per-contact booking limit, the redirect now works as expected. Previously, visitors would see a 404 error instead of being redirected.
Opening a funnel that contained an order-form step whose product had since been deleted used to show an error page. Now that step simply shows as “(Deleted)” and the rest of the funnel loads normally, so you can fix or remove it.
Improved page builder performance on big pages that have a lot of text editors
When creating or updating an asset over the API, you can now set a video's still frame — the poster image shown before it plays. Pass still_frame_asset_id (the ID of an image asset in your account) when uploading a video, change it anytime with PATCH /api/v2/assets/{id}, and it's returned whenever you read an asset.
You can now set what someone without access sees for each lesson — Hide, Title, or Full — straight from the course overview, using the new Preview column. No more opening each lesson just to change it. We also made the preview options on the lesson page clearer: each one now has an icon and a one-line description of exactly what a non-member will see.
When you export your Deals data, contact notes are now included as a column. Each note's title and content are concatenated together, so you get a complete picture of your coaching notes, meeting summaries, and client progress — right in your CSV or Excel export. Great for building AI-powered automations or reports that combine pipeline stage data with your client notes.
If you have a big course — dozens of modules, hundreds of lessons — the content page used to take several seconds to open. Now it loads in a fraction of that time: collapsed modules fetch their lessons the moment you expand them instead of everything being built up front. Nothing to set up — it's just faster.
A conversation can now join a project after the fact. Open the conversation, click the ⋯ menu in the top right, and pick Move to project — choose one of your projects, or Create new project to start a fresh one right there (you can rename it afterwards). Perfect for when a chat turns out to belong with work you're sharing: once it's in a project, the members…
You can now point your affiliate program's terms & conditions at a URL you host yourself instead of editing them in the built-in editor. Look for the new 'Use a custom link for the terms to accept' option on the program's Registration tab.
