We've listened to recent feedback in regards to improving our email notifications for Comments. From today, you will receive emails for comments on your posts regardless of @ mention or no @ mention. This should prevent missing comments.
Notifications are notoriously hard, and we're always looking for feedback to help us improve in this area. Any suggestions: https://www.contentcal.io/requests-and-roadmap
A few goodies ahead of the Easter break...
Here are just a few examples of what you can do...
The ContentCal app is available now on Zapier via Early Access. You can connect here: https://zapier.com/apps/contentcal/integrations
You can now add a touch of personality to each Calendar by setting a custom header colour. To choose a new colour, head to 'Setup' and find 'Custom Navigation Colour'. If you aren't digging the pre-selected colours, you can add your own HEX code.
1) You can now invite someone to your Organisation and add them to Calendars at the same time. The default permission here will be Creator, but you can adjust this to any permission from Members + Approvals.
2) If you invite someone to ContentCal, but they sign up via our website and not the invitation link, ContentCal will now automatically join that person with your Organisation.
As you've probably noticed already, our media uploader is looking fresh! It now comes with built-in integrations, meaning you can upload media from a range of sources including Google Drive, Dropbox, Gmail, Webcam and many more.
This new update allows you to see Link Previews in both the Week and List views.
(If you don't like these being displayed, there is a setting to hide them in Profile > Display Link Previews in the Calendar.)
You can now open the post modal for any post in the Calendar Views, and copy and paste the URL. This unique URL will take you or anyone else in your Organisation directly to the post. So you can now bookmark posts, share to Slack, etc etc. We will also be re-factoring all our email templates so that emails can link you to specific posts too, rather than just to the Calendar.
We've re-designed the signup journey from your feedback. It's now much clearer that the invited user is joining your team, rather than generically signing up.
We had a temporary glitch where the post text was disappearing if you changed the post date, ie drag and dropping it to a different day.
This is now fixed.
In order to make the text appear for posts where it’s disappeared (ie drag and drop action done before the fix), this can be resolved by clicking into the post and then re-saving it. No content is lost, it’s just a glitch which wasn’t showing it in the calendar views.
If you helped us test this out and gave feedback, thank you 😀. We've made an update to this permission from feedback. This permission now allows users to create content too, rather than just approving and editing existing posts. Yes, the title 'Approver who can edit' now sucks 👎. We will change this to a better title once we're out of the Beta.
The fifth of a bunch of new features has now shipped 🚢
We've listened to your feedback, and we're happy to introduce our Comments V2 which contains 3 new features...
This will send an email to them. In-app notifications will be coming next too.
Keep organised by checking edits and change requests
We know you want this too, but we didn't want to delay the release of the features mentioned above. Rest assured we are working on getting this done.
The forth of a bunch of new features has now shipped 🚢
Switch between 12 Hour or 24 Hour clocks
Choose between 5 different formats
Select the first day of the week
These options are available at a global level, rather than a Calendar level. Head to your Profile, then scroll down to find these new options. If the Date format appears blank for you, you can correct this simply by selecting the first option in the dropdown menu.
