In-Depth User Interaction Information

Gain deeper insights with detailed tracking for:

  • Announcements: Track which users have seen an announcement and their actions (opened or closed).
  • Popups: Monitor popup interactions with detailed statuses: delivered, closed, started, and completed.
  • Email Notifications: View the list of emails sent to users.
  • Views: Track users who viewed specific posts or changelog updates.

All this information is now accessible in the user profile, providing a comprehensive view of user interactions.

New Filters for Popups

Customize your popup campaigns with new filtering options:

  • Segment: Target specific user segments with your popups.
  • Follow-Up: Send popups at intervals if the user hasn't completed an action. Define the follow-up interval (minutes, hours, days) and the maximum follow-up attempts.
  • Repeat: Schedule popup flows to repeat at specified intervals, resetting the follow-up interval if defined.

Example: Send out an NPS survey every 3 months with a 3-day follow-up interval, attempting up to 4 times. If the user doesn't respond, the cycle restarts after 3 months.

Popup filter options

Recently Exported Files

No need to check your email for exported files anymore. Access your recently exported files directly on the export settings page, making it easier to manage and retrieve your data.

Custom File Uploads, Quarter and Month-based Roadmap & More

๐Ÿ“Ž Custom File Uploads

custom file uploads

Expanded File Type Support: Now you can upload way more file types than before! No need to stress about file formats - whether it's PDFs, videos, text files, or anything else, Sleekplan's got your back. Simply tweak the list of allowed file types: Just hit up Settings > General > Uploads and add your fave extensions separated by commas or learn more on how to set up custom file types.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Quarter and Month-based Roadmap

quarter and month based roadmap

We're stepping up our game with the roadmap view! Now, besides the usual status-based view, you can also peep at Quarter and Month-based roadmaps. Set ETA dates on your posts and see them laid out neatly. This feature ain't just for the admin squad - it's available for the dashboard and frontend.

๐Ÿท๏ธ Option to Make Internal Tags Visible to Users

custom tags

No more secrets! You can now let end-users see those internal tags. Decide if they can just filter by custom tags or assign them to new posts too.

Minor Changes

  • Personal Filter: End-Users can now filter to see their own posts, votes, and commented posts.
  • Moderation Tools: In the moderation view, you can now edit a comment or post before approving it.
  • Customized Priority Voting: Added the option to disable and rename priority voting options.
  • Announcement Control: Now, you can toggle announcements on and off when editing already published changelog posts.

That's all for now - Stay tuned, stay Sleek!โœŒ๏ธ

Sleekplan Widget: More Powerful and User-Focused Than Ever! ๐ŸŒŸ

widget-updates

We're excited to introduce a set of powerful enhancements that will transform how you interact with the Sleekplan widget. Say hello to a widget that's more user-focused, intuitive, and tailored to your unique needs!


๐Ÿ“œ Extended View for Announcements

Say goodbye to the tiny widget window! We've revamped the way you view changelog posts within the widget and announcements. Now, when you click on a post, it gracefully expands into a more reader-friendly format with a larger display. Plus, we've stripped away any distracting brand colors to keep it clean and distraction-free, allowing users to immerse themselves in the content.

extended-view


๐ŸŸข Persistent Popups Across Pageviews

We've tackled a common pain point head-on. No more worrying about popups and in-app announcements disappearing after a single page change. This is especially crucial for power users who navigate swiftly through non-SPAs. Notifications will now remain active until users consciously hit the "close" button or take the specific action related to the popup (like opening a post from an announcement popup).

8
Keep in-app announcements active across different pageviews
Now, if a user navigates away from the page the in-app announcements disappear. The user may not have noticed the update at that time. It would be great if in-app announcements stay active over several page views (until the user opens or closes them), so we could probably increase the read rate drastically.


โญ๏ธ Enhanced Action Screens

We've taken your love for the action screen to heart and made it even more user-friendly. Packed with handy action items, the action screen streamlines your widget experience. And here's the icing on the cake: for "Open Posts" and "Open Changelog" actions, we've introduced the "Extended Preview" option. Now, you can directly access a concise list of entries without the need to open the action, saving your users' time and clicks.

widget-updates-2


๐ŸŽฏ Segmentation for Action Screens

Say goodbye to the one-size-fits-all approach! We understand the importance of delivering a personalized experience, and that's why we've introduced "Segmentation for Action Screens". Now, you have the power to finely tune your widget's behavior, ensuring that the right actions are presented to the right users.

Unveiling Our October Updates: What's New and Improved

october updates

Sleekplan got packed with new features, bug fixes, and improvements to enhance your feedback and collaboration experience.

๐Ÿ’ก Streamlined Changelog Management

Experience a sleeker and more intuitive changelog overview in our admin interface. Your updates are now neatly organized for improved clarity. Plus, we've made managing "draft" posts a breeze by displaying them prominently at the top of your list.

๐Ÿ“‚ New API Endpoints for Vote, CSAT and NPS

Introducing new API endpoints to elevate your customer satisfaction and NPS tracking.

  • Post vote API Endpoint: Create & list votes
  • Satisfaction API Endpoint: Create & list satisfaction responses
  • NPS API Endpoint: Create & list NPS responses

Check out our API Docs for more information!

๐Ÿ’ฌ Direct Link to Comments

No more hunting for comments! If you've been mentioned in a comment, simply follow the direct link to instantly load and engage with it. Say goodbye to endless scrolling in search of that specific comment.

๐Ÿ˜ Better looking Changelog Reactions

Our changelog reactions have received a makeover! They now seamlessly integrate with our design, providing a more visually appealing experience. Plus, we've replaced the comment input with a spacious text field, allowing your users to express themselves freely.

๐ŸŽจ Revamped Email Templates

We've given our email templates a complete facelift, with fresh copy and captivating designs for both admin and user emails. If you've made any customizations to your email templates, ensure they are compatible with our new designs.


But wait, there's more!

1. Better Open Graph Images: Our open graph images for the standalone page have been refined for a more appealing and engaging appearance when shared on social media and other platforms.

2. Session Functionality: We've resolved a pesky session bug, ensuring smooth widget functionality even during local development and testing.

3. Jira Integration: Our Jira integration has received an upgrade - Now you can expect seamless collaboration between Sleekplan and Jira, as we've added the ability to add comments when a post is created from - or linked to - a post on Sleekplan.

4. Edit Action Items: Goodbye, delete-and-recreate! We've listened to your feedback and added an edit button for action items. This improvement makes it easier than ever to refine and modify your action items without the need for cumbersome workarounds.

5. SEO Enhancements: We've significantly improved the SEO of the standalone website, making its content more accessible and readable for web crawling bots.

6. Wildcard Domains Support: Now, you can use wildcard (*) for domains, not just in the URL part. This enhancement provides greater flexibility in defining which domains the Sleekplan widget should be active on.

7. Translation Updates: We've added some missing translations to ensure a more comprehensive and user-friendly experience for your international user base.


We value your feedback, and it plays a crucial role in shaping Sleekplan's future. Here is some of the feedback that contributed to this release:

5
Drafts in the changelog are not published with the current date
**Issue:** When I save a changelog update as a draft, the current date is saved with it. If I now publish the draft after a few days, it is published under the initial creation date. **Current workaround:** When publishing, set the date manually to today's date. **Possible solution:** Initially save drafts without date and use the current date when publishing.
8
Add link back to Sleekplan when linking Jira issues
4
Edit button for home screen action items
Would be nice if there was a way to edit the home screen "action items" instead of having to delete and remake it.
4
Add a link back to Sleekplan on Jira issues
Have a link back to the Sleekplan post on linked or created Jira issues

3-Column View for Managing Feedback

3-column-layout

Exciting news ๐ŸŽ‰ Our feedback list just got an upgrade that will take your feedback management to the next level! Check out our new 3-column view that has all the features you need right at your fingertips, no more jumping back and forth between pages.

With the first column displaying a list of all feedback posts, you can easily get an overview of the feedback you've received and simply navigate between different posts - exactly as before. The second shows the feedback in detail with the full title, text, KPIs, and comments section. This new comprehensive view of the feedback will give you a deeper understanding of each post, allowing you to respond more effectively.

And last but not least, the third column allows you to change settings, set owners, and perform other actions without ever leaving the view - so you can manage your feedback with greater efficiency and ease than ever before.

We understand that everyone has their own preferences, so we've included a toggle on the bottom that allows you to simply switch between the new 3-column view and the old list styled view. The choice is yours!

Let us know what you think! ๐Ÿ™

PS: The roadmap got a minor upgrade, too ๐Ÿคซ

Auto Subscribe: Improve communication and keep everyone up to date!

With the new "Auto Subscribe New Users" option, any new users who create an account on your feedback baord will automatically be subscribed to receive changelog updates and notifications from you. This will help ensure that all of your users are kept informed about important updates, new features, or announcements. To manage their subscription preferences, users can simply visit their account settings and adjust their notification settings as desired. Auto Subscribe Settings โ†’

RSS feed: Make it easier for users to stay up-tp-date!

We are happy to announce the addition of an RSS feed for the changelog. With this feature, users can now subscribe to receive updates to the changelog via their preferred RSS reader. This will allow your users to stay informed about new updates and changes to the platform in a way that is convenient for them.

To access the RSS feed, add /rss.xml to your changelog URL. I.e. https://demo.sleekplan.app/changelog/rss.xml

September Updates

september updates

Happy Monday! ๐Ÿ‘‹ We have a few updates and bug fixes to share with you, to help kick off the new week. Let's start with a few improvements and features that we have shipped recently.


Moved static resources to Sleekplan

To prevent the loading of external libraries, we moved all external resources from rsms and unpkg.co to storage.sleekplan.co. No need to give permissions to other libraries.

1
Remove rsms.me and unpkg.com
Move resources from rsms.me and unpkg.com to sleekplan.com

 

New option to set the SSO-token using Bearer header or POST data

Setting SSO-tokens for the standalone page got a security upgrade. You don't need to set tokens using an URL parameter. Now you can pass tokens by doing a POST request or set the token as a Bearer token. Read more on our single sign-on docs.

3
Set the SSO token as header or post data to the standalone board
To prevent any issue with a visible SSO token in the URL, we would like to have the option to send the token as Header ifnormation or POST data.

 

New $sleek SDK methods

The $sleek SDK has been slightly reduced in size and also received two new methods - rebind() to rebind data-attributes and shutdown() to turn off the widget and remove all HTML elements. Learn more about these two methods on our developer docs.

 

View and cancel pending team invites

Until now, sending invitations to team members was a rather intransparent process - This is now a thing of the past! Pending invitations are now displayed on the team page and can even be canceled so that you always have an accurate overview of your pending invitations!

 

Split changelog updates with separators

A new option to use separators has been implemented in the Changelog. Separator helps you to visually separate various parts of your release notes. This is useful for such cases when parts of a document are not connected and should differ e.g. by the type of information (Bug fixes, Features..).

To add a division separator you need to use the markdown syntax ---

1
Support dividers on Markdown
Add some kind of dividers to seperate text parts using the Markdown language. **Suggestion** Use `---` to generate some divider

 

Keep up with your community.

Improved personal notifications will help you to stay up to date with your feedback community. Easily check new, unread and unopened notifications ๐Ÿ‘€


Bug fixes ๐Ÿ‘น

  • Zapier: A bug with the Zapier integration prevented the creation of multiple zaps on the same event.
  • Changelog module: On the standalone board and in the widget, posts were not loading when accessing a direct link (affected posts that were older than 365 days)
  • Account deletion: After deleting enduser accounts - in some cases -the "full name"-field did not get anonymized.
  • Update Credit Cards: Upon changing credit card data, the new card wasn't displayed in the dashboard.

Managing different Audiences from one Board ๐Ÿฅ

changelog_imagr.jpg

Hey y'all! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Easter is over and the Easter-๐Ÿฐ has come up with a cool new feature: Managing different audiences from one board is getting even better with segmentation! Now you can specifiy a segment for each category. This means: Only users matching a specified segment will be able to see posts, submit suggestions or receive changelog updates for a category. Email notifications for the changelog will only go out to subscibers matching a segment. With this, you can now serve different user groups via one board and display different content for each ๐Ÿ™Œ Amazing, isn't it?

If you haven't set up an user segment yet -> Get started here!

What do you think about this update?
Share important infos with all Users... or just your Team!

mention all and team

Sometimes you write a comment that is important! You may not want to send notifications limited to subscribers. For this purpose, we have introduced two new options for @mentions: @all and @team

  • @all will notify anyone related to a feedback post - including subscriber, upvoter, and owner.
  • @team will notify the whole team assigned to your workspace, no matter if they are commited to the post or not.

Both mentions - @all and @team - are restricted to team members only, so you can relax.. none of your users will spam the discussion with @all mentions! ๐Ÿ˜„
