Hello all, Currently users don’t know what they earn points for and from whom - e.g. they can't see it in their profile. My suggestion: Make earning of points and ranking transparent, e.g. add a stream/tab/... in their profile dedicated to earning points & reputation. Additionally, allow community managers to be notified about users reaching/passing certain thresholds, so that they can immediately act/recognize. Why it will work: People value personal recognition and recognition is one of the most powerful human desires (see e.g. Reiss’ Basic Desire theory). Therefore, making the earning of points transparent generates instant gratification (endorphins) for the user and creates "windows of engagement" for community managers Use Cases: User can check how he earned points for writing a reply, for a reply being recognized as correct answer etc. By checking their profile they feel "confirmation" about how others value them, strengthening their willingness to re-engage.

I've been doing some re-localization for our branded templates update for Elisa Palsta recently and bumped into an issue that's pretty annoying and also an issue already in our live community. In Finnish language we have different plural forms for words depending for example if the word is before or after the number. For example 3 topics = 3 keskustelua and topics: 3 = keskusteluja: 3. As the current platform also on branded templates uses the same phrase tags for many words (topics, answers, comments...) we have parts of the site where we now have to live with not that fluent looking Finnish language. It's understandable for sure, but any native Finn will make a conclusion that the person localizing the site didn't have an understanding of the context where the certain words are shown. Thus I suggest that all phrases should be separate tags and not used in other contexts and parts of the site. Are we all alone with this issue here in Finland? 🦌😂 Any other funky languages that h

Hi, We have a team who would like to use the community platform for specific feedback. They don't want those feedback boards to be public, but they do have potential users in the 10 thousands so manually applying a custom role will be almost lethal. The SSO API handily lets you assign a custom role baked into the token. Wonderful! Unfortunately it works like this: Customer logs in to community We create token, assigning custom role to the user in the token Customer will have to logout and login again to receive that role While that might make sense from a token point of view, it's awkward to explain to customers! Wouldn't it be more sensible to have the role recognised without having to logout?

Request from @Maxime C Tired of constantly moving topics which have been posted in the wrong places? To fix this it would be nice to have one or two more mandatory fields which a user needs to select when creating a topic. So as an example firstly they would need to select a category, then as it is now they can add a title and write their post, and then they chose the subforum, but at least as they've chose the category before writing their post they should pay more attention to putting their topic in the right place, instead of it being their last action. An example flow: In your community you have Category 'A', 'B', and 'C', with subforums 'A1, A2,A3', 'B1, B2' B3' and 'C1, C2,C3'. So above 'Title', there is a mandatory field where you need to select 'A', 'B' or 'C'. Then a user can write their post and as normal at the bottom their is the mandatory field to chose the subforum. But for example, if you've chosen category 'B' content, you can only select subforum 'B1', 'B2' and

In response to: https://community.insided.com/news-updates-16/inspired-community-analytics-380/index1.html What I'd like is in depth Like analytics. - Liked Posts vs Nonliked Posts % - Liking percentages and trend per role - Being liked percentages and trend per role

We have a closed community with sign ups only coming through SSO. We have an issue where certain email domains or IP addresses are being rejected. A quick email to support will solve this, but that’s a poor experience for the client who tries logging into our help center for the first time. We solved the issue by adding additional SSO validation and removing IP checking all together, but ideally I could manage this on my side.   TLDR - want to be able to list and un-list banned emails and IP addresses

Hello, I am testing out the conversational widget. It looks like images show nicely within the widget. But embedded videos are just showing as a link.Is there a way to get videos to be embedded/playable from within the widget? We’ve made extensive use of video answers in our community forum.  In our community forum, that URL is actually an embedded video. In the conversational widget it just shows as a link. 

Allow RSVP for an event to act as joining a group, and represent the group association on the event description. This allows for groups to be used as content holders for event Q&As and conversations, as well as polling. Its an opportunity to use your community as your event’s Sli.do platform. Only instead of the group/ room disappearing after the event, your attendees now have access to the community...

We have a lot of relationships and currently if I have a contact across multiple relationships I have to add them to the respective relations one at a time. I would like to be able to when adding a new contact choose multiple relationships at the same time. This would be a huge time saver when getting a new account with 10-15 contacts that need to be added to 5+ relationships.

Would like to have a way to limit what tags can be used in a particular category when creating a new topic. For example, in our community we have an Introductions category, we ask people to tag their introduction with introduction and their user role, but sometimes folks go wild. By limiting tags we could also improve the SEO and findability of this content.

Hi Team, One of the customer has reached out to support team and shared the experience of adding a task to playbook.When editing Playbooks, everytime you take an action, edit, add task etc the page defaults to the top of the screen meaning you have to scroll back down the relevant playbook everytime again.Please check the video: https://share.getcloudapp.com/P8u5d69E  Could you please check and let us know if we can have the new task form appear around the playbook that is being modified, rather than at the top of page?

Somewhere along the line, I’ve given feedback that Insided should build some standard profile fields for common fields, including Company and Job Title. If/when that’s added, I’d recommend adding them to the Author meta data available via Zapier (currently you can get username, ID, rank, mainRole, and avatar). Use case: We use Zapier for sending alerts on new posts into to specific slack channels. We have several use cases for this and will be expanding them. In many cases, it’d be helpful to inject some context for those seeing the alert. For example, right now we have “New question from {username}: {topic title}” with the topic title linked to the topic URL. I’d love to be able to expand that to use cases like this: “New question/idea from {username} ( {company} ): {topic title}”  “New idea from {username} ( {job title} ): {topic title}” Injecting that context would be helpful for CSMs to see their customer company’s questions or ideas in alerts like this. Or for idea feeds, job titl

Hi Team,In the JO program, when participants get failed during participant sync from source, then custom field values does not get populated. In the above scenario the participants moved to failed participants during sync and hence the custom field values will not get populated. Customer requested to populate the custom field values for the failed participants also. Thank you. 

I’d like the ability to create 2 different visualizations on a dashboard for the same report. For example, if I have a report of all Risk CTAs I want to see a table on a dashboard indicating detailed information like next action due, reporting category, days due, etc. but I also want to display a widget showing the number of total risk CTAs open. I’ve been doing this by cloning reports and adjusting, but this means that I am just creating more and more reports with essentially the same data.

Hello all,  I’ve had a customer place a ticket for a feature request. The customer would like the ability to add a task description when adding a task in a timeline entry, as opposed to creating the task and then filling out the description on the CTA. This would enhance workflow by reducing the number of steps needed to a task completely filled out.  I’ve attached the two places where tasks are for clarity.   

To provide visibility via email to the Account Owner (they are not the contact being used to send the email).In my organization, we have a customer outreach motion to email many customers offering a CS session led by a non-assigned Technical Account Manager. The Account Executive is the Account Owner in this case and it would be nice to have the Account Executive CC’ed automatically on these reach outs. The Account Owner is not always the same across all of these accounts that will be sent an email by Journey Orchestrator, so we are unable to hard code a static email address in the CC field.

A big part of content maintenance (for users as well as the company) is reviewing and updating published content. In order to be transparent, it is oftentimes better to not remove outdated sections of text, but to strike through it. This way users can still see what the old information was and can compare it the updated content.Currently there is no way to create strikethrough text in the frontend. It is only possible in Control when you manually use the <s> tag in the HTML mode.I propose to add a “Strikethrough” button in the text editor as several users in my community and also staff members are requesting this feature.As there is limited space in the Text Editor toolbar, I suggest to do a global usage review of the existing formatting options and to remove the least used one (my guess would be the left/center/right align format) in order to replace it with “Strikethrough”.

Allow for text color customization and rules. I.e. example below:  Relationship Sentiment = Green → text color displayed as greenMax Subscription End Date → within 30 days displayed as yellow, past that date displayed as red 

When adjusting the date on Timeline Activities, users are presented with a calendar pop-up through which they can select a day. The same sort of behavior is present when setting or adjusting Due Dates for Tasks / CTA’s, with one minor difference: the CTA and Task calendar has a quicklink for “Today” at the bottom. I understand that in most cases the default date for an Activity is already “today”, but a user recently pointed out that adjusting the date is sometimes necessary when revisiting drafts. In any event, it would be a cleaner experience for these calendar selection pop-up’s to match. See examples below… CTA Due Date Adjustment Activity Timeline Date Adjustment  Could we match the look of the Activity Date selection calendar to the existing CTA / Task Due Date selection calendar - including the “Today” quicklink at the bottom?

I’d like to suggest a further enhancement to the new Going.io integration to allow for call transcripts to be imported and fed into the CX Center algorithm. Doing so would allow for a very broad search of sentiment keywords within CX against call transcripts from various customer-facing teams.My guess is that there might be some privacy concerns to contend with as part of this integration so that would need to be dealt with.

Quick background:  I love the way Insided embeds a topic link when you past the URL into a post on the community. However, when someone is logged-out / unregistered and/or does not have permissions to see that category, the embedded link shows only as the URL. Example from this Product Update blog:How embedded topics render when there’s not permission to view the category  My idea is to not do that. I’d love to see the nice looking embed still work even when someone does not have a right to access that forum. Then, when they click to access it, let the permissions take over when redirecting to the topic URL. Justification:You can’t see anything in the embedded post with the title that you can’t see in the URL itself.  Embed shows just the topic title and the avatar of the user who posted it (or sometimes an icon of the content type, like for Product Updates) The raw URL gives you the same information, just with hyphens between the words in the title title    It looks bad and reflects p

With the User Dashboard, its great to have data like posts, replies, likes given and received, but would love the ability to look at additional consumption in this view, like the following:Average session duration Page views (unique and cumulative)  By article/post Event registrations 

The moderation filters are fantastic and very comprehensive. I was surprised I couldn’t filter by author’s user role, as you can filter by this on the Content, Success, and Self-Service dashboards that are rolling up topic analytics. I recommend adding User Role as a filter and allowing to multi-select from the full list of primary and custom user roles, similar to how you select Published In or Content Type in the filters. Use case: We have processes to support and improve those Success metrics like reducing Single User Topics, Time to Answer, and % Answered. It would be good to filter out questions from staff that are using community for questions as well. It’s not that we’d ignore them altogether (it’s great that staff is adopting community!), but rather set them as a second priority behind open questions from our customers and partners. A more common use case might be looking into the data of the metrics from Content, Success, or Self-Service dashboards. If I can see X number of to

One of our Product Managers noticed his Forum Signature was missing when he replied to Ideas, but they show up when he responds to Questions. See screenshots below.  Example of an Idea where the Forum Signature is absent:Example Question where the Forum Signature is displayed: Why is this the way inSided was built? Why would a user or a moderator not want their signature in a response to an idea? Sometimes it feels like the different components of the platform were built in silos from one another and there isn’t parity across the different areas.  TL;DR - Forum Signature only shows in Q&A right now and not in Ideas. Enable Forum Signature across the community for replies. 

Hi teamI have a rule that’s failing to ingest data because one of the email addresses in the source CSV file is formatted as “name@example.com “ with a trailing whitespace rather than “name@example.com”.In an ideal world, all of our source data would be perfectly clean, but that’s not realistic for us and probably isn’t for many other people.It would be great if Rules Engine could trim whitespace around email addresses before ingesting them to avoid errors like thisI found a request for a similar thing in JO too but this is specifically for Rules Engine ingest:ThanksJon
