This week we’ve got some small tweaks going on, but don’t worry - we’re also working hard behind the scenes on some cool, bigger features!

  • Made our Scheduling feature more robust, handling various edge cases and errors from Instagram, so your posts are less likely to fail

  • Tweaked the Google login so it won’t create a new account if there’s no email associated

  • Introduced a calculated value for videos that adjusts the rendering based on length

  • Added a button to preview a product from the product search to confirm it's the one you want to tag

  • Fixed a bug where the logo in emails appeared too large


Community management, updated filters, new upload forms and much more

changelog cover

👥 Community tab to manage members

The Influencer tab has been revamped, allowing you to manage and view content created by members of your community related to your brand. You can now create roles for different types of members (e.g. creators, ambassadors, influencers), assign them to your team, and view more information about each member to identify your most effective advocates.

🎛️ Improved filters

Our filter engine has been upgraded to provide a more consistent search experience. You can now easily view the count of each filterable value in a convenient dropdown menu.

🎆 Upload form authentication

We have updated our upload forms to grow with your community features. Members of your creative community can now authenticate and upload content to you so that it’s saved to their profile. This way it’s easier for you to see how often they engage with your brand.

📧 Updated design for emails

We have given our post-purchase and thank you emails a modern update. The new design is minimalist and less intrusive than the previous one. Visit the email settings to customize them to your preferences.

⚡ Gallery performance update

We have significantly reduced the initial load size of our galleries by over 50%, and made multiple updates to improve accessibility and adhere to web best practices. As a result, galleries should now load faster and be more intuitive to navigate.

🌇 Sunsetting: influencers.cevoid.com

We’re saying goodbye to influencers.cevoid.com, which was used to manage certain types of users who often shared content with a brand. The new member management system will replace this app, bringing all its functionality into the main app. This will reduce the number of things you need to worry about and make it easier for your community to use.

Wow... that was a lot of big of updates 😅

Now on to the smaller ones!

💎 Improvements

You can now:

  • Added more data to the weekly summary email

  • See the posts which have been copyright striked from Instagram. These posts can’t be accessed through the Instagram API because they contain copyrighted music.

  • Easily see if a product is out of stock when tagging products

We’ve also:

  • Updated the google authentication flow to match their new API.

  • Updated how cache works for our galleries. Any change that is being made to the styling will apply directly and you will not have to wait to see the update.

  • Added emails that inform account owners if a scheduled post has failed or successfully been published

  • Converted overflow on html setting into a global setting

  • Cleaned up the Instagram views to make it easier to find different posts with different statuses

🐞 Fixes

  • Fixed: Scheduling posts on Instagram is now hassle-free, even when products are missing from the catalog. Posts will be published at the desired time, regardless of whether products have been tagged or not.

  • When disabling a label for a gallery the label is also removed from filters

You can now turn off sound on a video if it contains music or noise you don’t want your visitors to hear.

💎 Improvements

You can now:

  • Experience a faster product sync for Shopify stores since we’ve changed the sync only to include data from the markets you have set up.

  • Import older Instagram posts, as we’ve added the option to do that on your Instagram settings page on the Cevoid dashboard.

  • Find the “Feeds” feature under “DPA Feeds.” We’ve changed the name to improve clarity.

  • Added unsubscribe links to some of our internal emails that were missing them.

  • Fixed: Test data on the analytics page was not correctly updated and set in the front end.

  • Fixed: Users could schedule posts for times outside “hh:00” and “hh:30”, resulting in inconsistent scheduling behavior. This has been set only to allow scheduling at round hours and half hours.

  • Fixed: Some videos generated thumbnails in odd formats.


Easily navigate the platform and view content with copyright strikes

🔮 New navigation

To improve your experience with the Cevoid platform, we’ve optimized the navigation for our dashboard. There’s now a two-level menu, making it faster and easier to switch between the tabs.

❗ Posts with copyright strikes

If a post includes copyrighted music, it could get a copyright strike. So we’ve added an option for you to see which posts have received a strike and, therefore not available for further use.

Hello and happy New Year, everyone! 🎉

We hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday season filled with joy, relaxation, and time spent with loved ones. As we turn the page on another year, we’re stoked to see what it has in store and can’t wait to accomplish all we've set out to do in 2023. We hope this year brings a lot of success and abundance for your business, as we’ll keep supporting you in achieving your goals. 💜

In this changelog, we’ll share updates on our latest launches and improvements and walk you through the most recent bug fixes. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Let’s make 2023 a year to remember!

🗓 Schedule UGC to Instagram straight from the Cevoid platform

One of our New Year’s resolutions is to keep coming up with ways to make UGC management as easy as possible for you. And we’re starting the year off strong — less than 48 hours ago, we released a new feature called Schedule.

With Schedule, you can plan your social media posts in advance and get them automatically published whenever you want. No need to switch between different scheduling platforms or post manually anymore. From now on, you can save more time and keep your content fresh and engaging by scheduling your UGC straight from the Cevoid platform.

 🖼 Added category and brand support for galleries

Get your collection pages ready because we’ve got a new update to make your content shine! We’ve updated support for our <div> tags to allow data-category and data-brand as programmatic inputs. You can now specify whether you want the gallery to load posts from a certain brand or category, which is perfect for creating new or polishing your current product collection pages.

Now, let’s deep-dive into what we’ve improved over the past two weeks to make your UGC journey smooth sailing! ⛵

  • You can now press Retry on an Instagram post that has been declined and request the rights again

  • Fixed: Some posts displayed the incorrect username after we did an update to how usernames were stored

changelog cover

Hello everyone!

We’re proud of you for making it through the BFCM! 🎉 We know how much work goes into getting holiday-ready, and you deserve to catch a breath before deep-diving into the most festive shopping time of the year.

Grab a cup of hot cocoa, some gingerbread, kick back, relax, and enjoy this nice, warm Changelog we’ve baked just for you. 🍪

📸 Add UGC to your DPA with Feeds

We’re stoked to tell you all about our newest addition, Feeds. This feature allows you to generate an XML feed with UGC in your dynamic product ads for Google and Facebook. Hello, product-specific authentic content; goodbye generic product images with a white background.

🚀 Viskan integration is now live

New channels, new opportunities! Until now, you could only connect your Viskan store to Cevoid through Google Shopping. However, many of you wanted a direct integration, and what can we say — your wish is our command. So, from now on, you can use the direct Viskan integration for an even smoother onboarding experience.

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what we’ve improved over the past two weeks.

💎 Improvements

You can now:

  • Access and toggle the mute button on mobile much easier than before

🐞 Bugfixes

Multi-market support for Email widgets

changelog cover

Hello everyone, we have some updates for everyone before we head into the Black Friday / Cyber Monday period of the year 🛍

It’s now possible to add embed email widgets in all your marketing languages. There’s no change in how you create widgets and no, you don’t need to create a new one for each language. Simply click the Embed widget button and you will see a list of the widget for all different markets!

Instagram custom views

You can now build your own filters to limit the amount of images seen from Instagram. This can be useful when you want see content that has completed all specific criteria. For a competition for example!

Change: Auto playing video in galleries

As a first step in improving performance across our galleries we have limited the amount of video that is autoplaying at once. Now the first video in each load-more batch will autoplay, not all videos at the same time. We want to autoplay as many videos as possible without causing a negative experience for the end-user. So more updates regarding autoplaying video will follow the coming weeks. Stay tuned

We released another product update 🔥

changelog cover

Import historical posts for influencers / creators

It is now possible to import historical post from influencers / creators when creating them. The posts will be imported into the inbox and influencer view. Furthermore, it is possible to enable auto-approve. When enabling auto-approve, post of the new influencer / creator will automatically be approved and published to your galleries.

New gallery attributes for a better developer experience

All galleries and cards by default automatically match to a market that is set up in Cevoid. We have added a new feature where the market of the gallery can be programatically set through an attribute called data-market. Not only can it force markets on galleries, but also on cards.

Furthermore, it is possible to override a currency of a market. For example, a store could use a Swedish market however, if you want Euro’s instead of Swedish Krona, the currency can be overridden. The market currency can be overridden through the attribute: data-market-currency.

Finally, we have added the possibility to hide product prices all together. This is possible through the data-hide-prices attribute.

For more information, a full tutorial is available on: https://intercom.help/cevoid/en/articles/6612043-how-to-force-a-specific-market-using-the-data-markets-attribute

Search by username and filter by product category / brand

We have added the possibility to search for posts from a specific username on the library page. The search can be accessed by using [ctrl + f] or [command + f].

Moreover, it is now possible to filter posts on product brands and product categories. These can also be used as sources for galleries!

  • Fixed an issue where the data of an instagram post wasn’t shown correctly. Also changed “Created” to “Imported” hence an instagram post is not created but imported.

  • Fixed an issue where the search input was not in the center in some occasions

  • Fixed a small issue in getting started where the tutorial could not be completed by having no teammates.

  • Fixed a bug where notifications (snacks) were not reseted resulting in multiple notifications could pop up at once.

This improvement includes updates such as better search (search by sku, title, url, id etc.). It also supports fuzzy search incase you happen to make any spelling mistakes. There’s also a much faster initial load time in the platform which is always a top-priority for us.
