Show Elements on Button Click
About this release:
We are thrilled to introduce a powerful enhancement to our platform with the addition of the “Show Elements on Click” feature. This new button action empowers users to dynamically reveal hidden elements on both mobile and desktop views, providing greater flexibility and interactivity in designing and presenting content.
What’s New:
Show Elements on Click feature: Users can now add an interactive layer to their designs by revealing hidden elements upon a click event. This functionality enhances user engagement and allows for more dynamic and user-friendly page interaction.
How to Use:
Select an element and go to advance setting
Locate the “Visibility” section.
Unselect both the view option, mobile and desktop
Select a button then scroll down to button action
Select “Show element” from the links dropdown
Select elements from show element dropdown
Save the changes to apply.
Pain Point Resolved:
The “Show Elements on Click” feature addresses the need for more dynamic and interactive content presentation. By allowing users to hide elements initially and reveal them on demand, this feature enhances the overall design flexibility and user engagement. Now, users can seamlessly integrate interactive elements into their designs without compromising the simplicity of the design process. This update marks a significant step forward in empowering our users to create more captivating and user-friendly web experiences.
Important Change to Custom Code Element
Any new and updated custom codes will now be injected to the DOM on server side (pre-rendered). The custom code won’t be modified or altered when injecting to the DOM.
Pain Points Resolved:
This solves multiple support tickets and future issues where specific custom code wasn’t executing properly.
Users can use the new funnel/website builder for adding any custom code without errors.
Due to the pre-rendering, DOM, readyState and document events used in custom javascript code which were not working as expected are now fixed.
The change now helps users use custom code just like a static HTML or wordpress site.
Note: The above change is applicable only when the existing custom code is updated or a new custom code element is added
5-10% improvement in page speed scores
Images, font styles and icons are prioritized first in resource download compared to internal framework js files. This reduces the FCP, LCP slightly and delays internal JS file resource downloads
Payments
Enable Customers with 3DS regulation to add card as payment method
Why was this service needed ?
Many of customers were facing issues while adding a card due to no 3DS authentication, especially for the Indian customers, as per the guidelines customers can only add card where 3DS has been verified.
Without the verified payment method, spam locations were utilizing the service without a valid card.
How does this enhancement help ?
Customers will be able to add the 3DS verifiable method whichever country allows it.
Updated UI to add the card details, show the error message when 3DS auth fails.
With extra layer of security, only verified cards added by the location will be able to use our services mitigating the risk of spam users
Less spam usage
Forms & Surveys
Say Goodbye to Annoying Pop Ups While Saving Forms/Surveys!
Users have expressed concerns about the frequent appearance of the Warning Modal when saving forms/surveys containing scripts.
Solution: The “Do Not Show Again” Checkbox
To address this challenge and provide you with a smoother experience, we’ve introduced a new feature – the “Do not show again” checkbox.
This feature allows you to opt out of receiving the warning in the future while saving forms/surveys.
When you select this option, the pop up won’t appear again in the same browser session.
Proposals & Estimates
Share Proposal/Estimate Links
Business users will now be able to send document links rather than sharing documents via email only
This will allow businesses to generate a link for the document and share it across any preferred channel of their choice
Individual links for each recipient will be created if the document has to be shared across multiple recipients.
Once links are generated for the document, it will be marked as sent and will be available in the Waiting for Others tab in the list view
Users will still be able to copy links or share documents via email at any point in time
Calendars
Service Menu
We are excited to introduce enhancements to the Service Menu and Calendar Overlay that will empower users to better manage their service calendars and improve usability across various devices. These enhancements include:
Customized Calendar Sequencing
Users can now take control of their service calendars within the service menu. While they had the flexibility to arrange their groups in a specific sequence, now users can determine the order in which their services are displayed within these groups.
This feature provides users with the ability to tailor the appearance of their service calendars according to their preferences, streamlining the booking experience.
Improved Mobile and Tablet Usability
We’ve improved the mobile and tablet versions of the service menu in funnels, making it easier to view calendar details and book services.
Calendar Annotations
We have introduced calendar annotations to provide users with a better understanding of the various patterns and icons used in the calendar view.
These annotations offer clear explanations of each element’s meaning, allowing users to interpret their calendars with ease. Now, you can quickly decipher the significance of different calendar components and make informed decisions.
Rooms and Equipments
We are thrilled to introduce enhancements to our Rooms and Equipments feature, aimed at significantly improving the user experience: These enhancements include:
Room and Equipment Details:
We have added an enhancement that displays room and equipment details within the appointment modal – details view.
This addition ensures that users can now easily identify which room has been assigned to a particular appointment and which equipment is being used or has been booked in conjunction with the appointment.
This feature simplifies the management of appointments, making it more informative and streamlined.
Room Selection for Service Calendars:
In the in-app appointment modal, for service calendar appointments, we have introduced a room dropdown option during the appointment creation or booking process.
This empowers users to choose the specific room they want to book alongside their appointment. It offers greater flexibility and control over the booking process.
With this enhancement, you can effortlessly allocate the right room for your appointments, ensuring optimal resource utilization.
