Can you believe we’re nearly through the first month of 2023? 🤯

Time sure flies, and we hope the year has started out strong for you! We’ve been hard at work to bring you new updates and improvements to make your Cevoid journey more pleasant and smooth sailing. ⛵

In this changelog, we’ll share updates on our latest improvements and walk you through the most recent bug fixes.

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.

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.

Here are two ways you can see which content pieces have received a copyright strike:

a) Go to the “Influencers” tab, then click “Copyright striked”, or

b) Go to the “Collect” tab, click “Instagram,” then “Removed,” and there you’ll see the “Copyright striked” button

Easily navigate the platform and view content with copyright strikes

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 

, 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! ⛵

Schedule your Instagram content with Cevoid

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. 🍪

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.

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.

Launch of Feeds and Viskan integration

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!

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!

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

Multi-market support for Email widgets

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 

. 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: 

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

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!

We released another product update 🔥

We’ve long had support for single post embeds. But these embed have lacked any customization or styling to be made. This changes today with a new featured called Cards! The easy way to turn any image, video or social post into an embedable + shoppable post that you can use anywhere on your website.

We still have support for single embeds but will gradually phase them out. We recommend you try out the new feature and turn your static images and videos into content that can actually convert!

October product update, lets go! 🕺

Hope everyone has had an amazing summer ☀️

Today we’ve got a big update for everyone that has been HIGHLY requested. We’ve finally launched full video uploading support. This includes multiple new features that we know you’re going to love.

We now support uploading of video in all upload forms. Customers, creators and influencers can now share their best videos with you directly in all uploads forms.

We now also support videos from Instagram Reels. These videos can be found when exploring content from Instagram from all different sources (mentions, tags and hashtags).

We now also support video for in-house uploads. Click the purple upload button on the Library page and upload your best videos to your galleries in an instant!

And as always some minor improvements and new features

Short format video

Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying your summer vacations and that you get to spend some time in the sun! ☀️

Conversion analytics is now available for everyone to enable! See how people interact with your posts and what value Cevoid brings to your website. So far we’re seeing great numbers for a lot of stores!

You enable it by adding a script to your checkout page and information about tracking in your cookie disclaimer. All information can be found here:

Sometime you need to take a few steps back before you can go forward. This is what we’ve been doing the last few weeks. We’ve now released updated markets to make it easier to set up different languages and currencies in the galleries. Our new market logic makes it easier for us to keep track of your product catalogue and keep things synced when data changes.

Summer update, conversion and markets

The last 2 weeks we’ve ran into problems with data synchronisation for product catalogues. All of these have been solved now and as a result a much better infrastructure for handling high workload and scale as been implemented. Things should feel faster and snappier when syncing data and performing heavier tasks.

Infrastructure improvements and new functionality

This week we are launching an updated Instagram explore page. We have spent time on improving the load speed specifically on tagged and mentions pages. We have also made it possible to remove posts in these views that you are not interested in. You can now achieve an inbox zero.

We are also happy to launch the basic version of our analytics feature as a beta. You can now see how your galleries are performing on your website. Some of the metrics are: Gallery/Post views, Gallery loads, Gallery/Post clicks, Product clicks, etc. We are happy to hear your feedback.

New Instagram explore

We found that the product tagging experience was lacking for customers with larger product catalogues. Therefore, the last couple of weeks have been focused on improving the support for product variants and in general improve the product tagging experience.

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.

We also have better support for product variants in the form that variants will share content with each other.

A tagged variant will therefore show up on a sibling variant which makes filling up product page galleries a breeze!

We’ve also added the  possibility to rearrange the order of tagged products as well as tagging products without adding a “hotspot” since the product might not always be relevant to highlight.

Product variants & Improved product tagging

This week we have started rolling out the analytics feature as a closed beta for some of our users. Aside from that we have improved the performance of our galleries (especially in Safari) as well as some new features/settings.

Gallery performance + bug fixes

This week we are happy to release a highly requested feature called Email widgets. This makes it possible to use content from Cevoid in all of your emails (marketing, newsletter, post-purchase, etc). If you are using Klaviyo as your email platform we have also added support for abandoned cart, post-purchase and other product related emails. These widgets will change content depending on the product in the email.

Email widgets + Klaviyo integration

This week we improved our fallback galleries. When the original gallery don't have enough posts we will now fill out the remaining slots with posts from the fallback gallery. As before we replaced the gallery when there where no posts. With this improvement you will no longer experience that awkward amount of 1-3 posts in a gallery.

We also added the option to add category based fallback posts.

Advanced Gallery fallback behaviors

By request we have added support for Dynamic product ads. Users who use Google shopping feed integration now get a generated feed with their Cevoid content that they can use to enrich their google ads and facebook ads.

Dynamic product ads support

While we are hard at work finalizing the analytics feature as well as the email gallery feature we did have some time to solve bugs and add a couple of minor improvements. One of the bigger improvements this week must have to be the Weglot integration we built for Shopify stores. We will make this feature available for more of our users in the near future.

Bugbash

This week we have published 2 new features and reworked one that we already had but needed some improvements. You will now find a new item in the menu that is called Inbox. This is where all new posts will end up until you have approved or declined them. The posts view will from now only include approved posts.

We have added support for creating multiple request messages when working with Instagram requests. This way you can predefine messages, for example in different languages or tonality.

The translations page has been reworked and we have made it easier to get started by adding predefined translations for 21 languages.

Inbox  + multi request messages + translations

This week we added another option for users to request Instagram posts. You can now request posts via comment and DM (as before). Another nice feature is that posts that have been found through mentions can automatically be requested from our platform. No need to navigate to Instagram and paste your comment.

We are also very excited to announce that we have a new logo!
