Should we throw virtual events during the work day or after?

Hi all!  Throwing a virtual event for our most engaged users and I’m wondering if we would have more success throwing it during the work day or at 5 PM etc (after the work day). It’s a networking & strategy sharing session if that helps! Thanks, looking forward to your advice!

Does anyone have a product built on Salesforce that has an SSO connection to your community that is built on Insided?

Does anyone have a product built on Salesforce that has an SSO connection to your community that is built on Insided?  We are exploring how we can add one of our product offerings that is built on Salesforce but are struggling with how to set up an SSO, if tit is possible or if these clients would need to separately login to the Community.  Any insight if someone has a Salesforce product connected to their Insided Community would be super helpful.  Thank you!

Using Insided and Intercom together

Hey all! Does anyone here use Insided for their Community and Intercom as their support tool and external knowledge base? I’m looking to better understand how other teams: Connect their Intercom Articles to Community posts (i.e. how do you cross-reference all of your self-serve content?)  I wish we could have federated search with Intercom Articles and Insided Community posts - have any of you built this on your own? I’m wondering how heavy of a dev lift this process is. Connect live chat with Insided, if at allAny insight is appreciated! Thank you :)

How do I get notified of user rank progression?

Activity will net you points which will net you ranks.   How do I get notified when a user gains a Rank so that I can celebrate that event and bring more attention to activity?

Leaderboard badge display not respecting user's badge opt-out preference

Last week we introduced the Leaderboard feature to our community. Other than a lot of feedback, one user drew attention to something that may be a bug or oversight.On the full leaderboard, badges are also shown. We have multiple users however who do not want to have their earned badges shown on their profile or anywhere on the community. Unfortunately, the full leaderboard does not respect this preference and shows badges regardless of the users setting for badges.Would it be possible to make it so badges aren't shown on the full leaderboard, if a user chose to not display their badges?

How Do You Promote the Champions in Your Community?

Hi all!  So we have recently Community Champions Program. This is a program that asks specific users/partners to take a special role in the Community. They contribute a specific amount of replies and content to the Community as well as offer feedback or participate in another role of our Customer Education org at large.  We have a specific article announcing our Champions program, a specific page consolidating all of our Champions and their bios and have bi-weekly articles we post in our Community written by our Champions.  Wondering if there is any other way we can promote our Champions and give them more love/visibility?  Thanks all!

How do you run product/feature beta groups in your B2B SaaS community?

Hi there!I’m hoping to find some inspo around how to launch and structure our company’s beta program on Insided. Beta groups to date have been run differently depending on the product manager and nothing is streamlined (great opportunity to make an impact and streamline!)This is also a great opportunity to build buy-in and prove the value of our community to our product team.  Is anyone willing to share how they structured their first beta group?

Does someone have data that supports a Single Sign On business case?

We all know that SSO is great. it allows smoother, quicker ways for visitors to sign up. It’s a clear win win.  However, life isn’t always that simple. There’s some work that has to happen before a SSO option is possible. Getting that work prioritised needs a business case. That’s where you community professionals come in… Do you have data to support the value that SSO delivers? Activation funnel improvements, volume of  new questions, ROI, return visitors, engagement etc

💪 POWER UPS 💪

Gang, I have an idea that I have no idea how to execute. Can you help?I always find gamification to be a little bit lacklustre. Points are, ultimately, meaningless and badges are a nice point of pride but, again, they don’t do anything. I’ve even had feedback from members to say that they’re more annoying than useful.Buuuuuut….What if there was a third system informed by the points and badges system, designed to encourage intense progression across the community user journey and reward very specific behaviours?💪 ENTER POWER-UPS 💪Power-ups work like this:A Community member does something amazing. As they do. They submit an incredible guide, write some thought-leadership or set up a networking discussion. Once that post reaches a certain number of likes or replies, they earn a power-up! The power-up gives them a one-shot dose of something amazing and useful. It might be a ticket to an industry event, a month of an upgraded product tier or even a 30 minute call with a thought-leader in

How do you provide insights to your organization?

Hello everyone I hope you’re having a brilliant week!I have a rather interesting/challenging OKR that I set myself a few months back. Here’s what it looks like:Use data about our Community membership to provide the organization with actionable insightNow, yes, it’s a poorly written objective - but this one is actually just for me and no one holds me accountable to it. The desire behind this was to make sure that the Community we’re building can demonstrably help us improve our business practices. I always felt it was something missing from my previous community strategies, and that it’s really vital for the long-term sustainability of any community. I have this weird and wonderful (I think? You tell me!) hope that:I’ll be able to match our Community members data from InSided with other systems our business uses By doing that, I’ll be able to understand who our members are, how they behave in our products - and what makes them different from someone who isn’t interested in being a part

List Group Membership via API

We have a custom integration that listens to the group membership Webhooks to sync to other applications for reporting and marketing. We recently needed to list all members and run a re-sync and couldn’t due to the API not supporting groups, nor group membership operations.  I would love to see this added!

Creating a "hidden topic" game for users, but need some advice...

Hi folks, I’m trying out a new “game” with users to drive engagement.I want to post a puzzle and use the answer as a keyword clue to find a topic that we’ve “hidden” somewhere, which is what I want them to engage with, and then offer a small prize. (Seems roundabout but I think it might work for our audience.)The problem is, for a “hidden” topic to remain hidden until I’m ready to release the clue, I need to bury it in the feed or hide it somehow, at least until the first user finds it. (It would also be good if I can avoid the “new topic” email trigger for this one, but that may not be possible...)I tried creating a fake user and some boring decoy text for the preview in the feed, but then our discerning superusers flagged it as spam.Now I’m wondering if I can trash the topic to get it out of the feed and then restore it a few days later and it will go back to its original time stamp (before the more recent activity feed)?Or any other hacks that might help here... Thanks :D

Which analytics tool is easiest to set up a script for visibility of every click of the acquisition funnel?

Do lots of members click on a topic creation CTA but never go on to register? What about that huge drop off from registrations to members making their first post? Analytics tools like FullStory, GA and Mixpanel give great insight into some things, but I’m missing a big chunk of the sign up journey without creating a script (so I’m told) to track things like clicks to parts of the registration box. Is this kind of visibility unnecessary? Is it OK just to look at traffic vs sign ups vs active members and go from there?
