Use this widget to reduce admin workloads and boost engagement for community members by ensuring that the most relevant and interactive content is more prominently displayed across your community. What is the Dynamic Content Widget?The Dynamic Content Widget is a powerful tool for Administrators and Community Managers to deliver more recent and relevant content. You can now dynamically pull in the latest, up to the minute content including articles, conversations, questions, and ideas using a variety of filters and sorting options. Use the Dynamic Content Widget to:Show specific filtered content: Choose content based on type (questions, articles, etc.) and source (select from either knowledge base or community content). Automatically sort dynamic content: Choose how you want to sort and display content, selecting from total views, last activity, number of replies, or publication date. Continuous, automatic updates ensure that the most relevant content is always front and center. Customize your layout: Add the widget in full width or use it in a 2:1 widget layout as either a card or a list. Tailor the widget to fit the design and user experience of your community. How do I enable the widget?To activate this feature, simply navigate to the Open Betas page in the control panel. From there, you can enable the widget and find it in Destination within the widget library. Things to note:Once enabled and added to a page, the widget will remain active until it is manually removed. Opting out of the beta will remove the widget from the library but not from pages where it has already been added. Test drive the Dynamic Content Widget today, and let us know your feedback as part of our open beta. Your inputs are invaluable and will help us continue to refine and improve this feature!

A Better Way to Control Notification Preferences

A Better Way to Control Notification Preferences

Your community members need a better, more focused way to control their email notification preferences. That is why we are excited to roll out a new, dedicated Notifications tab on the user’s profile settings page! Give your community members the ability to manage their notification settings and control what emails they’d like to receive and improve the overall community experience.Learn what’s new and what possible actions you might have to take after this release.What's new?We've separated the notification settings from the general community experience settings. This means your community members now have a specific area solely for managing their notification preferences. The new tab offers a cleaner, more organized layout, making it easier for your users to find and adjust the settings they care about. Now there’s a dedicated URL to the notifications tab to link to from other places (eg. your system email footers)Getting startedTo explore the new Notifications tab:Log into your community account. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner. Select Settings from the dropdown menu. You'll find the Notifications as a new tab on the Settings pagePossible action requiredGiven we’ve introduced a new URL to directly link to the Notifications tab (yourcommunity.com/settings/notifications), there are a few things you might want to check.For instance, you might have linked to yourcommunity.com/settings/general for your users to manage their notifications (eg. from a system email, from a community post, etc.). While this URL still works, it will now direct them to the General tab that does not show notification settings. Feedback? Questions?Your input helps us improve. If you have any feedback or questions about this new feature, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Roadmap Update 29

Roadmap Update 29

Table of Contents:Small Enhancements, Big Impact Now in Beta Coming SoonCommunity is at the heart of everything we do here at Gainsight. We’re dedicated to connecting, supporting, inspiring, and evolving with our customers, and as such, we felt that we needed to get back to our community roots. You’ll see that reflected in our updates below, and you might notice the shift in our marketing, on our own community, and in our name. Gainsight’s community product will now be aptly named Customer Communities! While we are still actively working on our Customer Hub vision, we realized a truly integrated, seamless customer experience was much bigger than just community. As a result, we realigned our teams to allow our community experts to focus on community, while our Hub team can build for the future. This means that we can innovate quicker, in parallel with each other, and deliver the features and functionality that are most important to you!Speaking of which, let’s jump into the update! Small Enhancements, Big ImpactOver the past quarter, we’ve dedicated a ton of time to improving and enhancing the overall experience in Customer Communities. While the changes may seem small, we understand that they can have a big impact on your day-to-day work. So without further ado, here is a laundry list of the enhancements we’ve made!User Management Enhancements: Bulk award badges from the Users Overview page Easily see usernames and emails with broader columns Search Improvements Added Knowledge Base category filters in search results Pre-apply category filters on community and Knowledge Base content based on the previous search Customization Enhancements Customize widgets with text and background colors Add space between widgets by enabling margins  Adjust spacing within the widget by adding top and bottom padding Automatically collapse sections of the Widget Customization Panel so only the section you’re working on is open Events Improvements ‘Add to calendar’ options on the Event page now support Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, and Apple Calendar (now in open beta) During Event creation,  your current timezone is pre-filled in the Date & Time section (now in open beta) We've added more timezones from South America to the list (now in open beta) You can now easily open the Event in Destination right from the Event creation page (now in open beta) We've consolidated the Events page, and the Event types page, under Platform for easier discoverability, especially for Control users that only need to manage Events Email Campaign Enhancements We've added the timezones to all scheduled and sent emails, to make it more explicit when the email was or will be sent If you copy a campaign, you can now edit it right away without having to refresh We've ensured that after the 'username' placeholder, you'll never see an inadvertent extra space ever again Now in BetaOpen Beta: More Events ImprovementsImproved Events Creation Process We’re rolling out a more streamlined way to create, display, and track events in your community. You’ll notice some design changes in the creation flow and added functionality like the ability to save, duplicate, and preview events.  Simplified Events End-User UI In addition, we made a few updates to help your community members find, register, and participate in events.

Introducing the New Topic Moderation Page

The tools we use are crucial to maintaining a healthy, engaging, and safe environment. That's why we're excited to announce a significant update to the Topic Moderation Page (TMP) - a major milestone in our suite of moderation tools. A Technical Leap Forward 🤓It all started with a vision to enhance the TMP by reducing defects, using new technologies and ensuring feature parity across different content types. This change was driven by our commitment to innovation and delivering the best possible experience for our moderators and community managers. Preserving Core Functionalities. Understanding the importance of continuity, we ensured that all essential functionalities of the existing TMP are retained in the new version. However, to align with our goals of efficiency and modernisation, certain features like the IP popup, Profile popup, and tracking of personal unread replies with a scroll to new reply function were not carried forward. This decision was made considering the high implementation cost and our focus on more impactful features.  Short-Term Benefits: Enhanced Experience. Immediately, we should notice fewer bugs and small yet significant UI improvements. We are also adding functionalities like attachments in Product Updates and ideas on control and destination, enhancing the moderation process's versatility and effectiveness. Long-Term Benefits: A Foundation for Future Growth. Looking ahead, the refactored TMP sets the stage for rapid and seamless integration of new features. It opens up possibilities for moderating additional content types such as educational materials or event-related discussions. Moreover, the redesigned UX/UI will not only make moderation more intuitive but also more enjoyable.  Celebrating Progress and Team Effort 🚀The team's dedication and collaborative spirit have been the driving forces behind this successful refactoring. The new TMP is the team’s commitment to our community managers and moderators, to provide the best tools to foster vibrant and safe online communities.This update is a significant step forward in that journey, and we're excited about the future possibilities it unlocks! Thank you all for your ongoing support and feedback, which have been and is invaluable in this process 🙌

Drive Community Engagement with Email Campaigns

Drive Community Engagement with Email Campaigns

On the heels of our Segments release, we are pumped to announce that Email Campaigns are now available! Email Campaigns empower community managers to boost engagement and drive community participation with an easy-to-use email solution. Leverage Segments to create a dynamic list of members based on criteria such as user role, last activity, registration date, etc., and send targeted Email Campaigns to guide members back to your community regularly. What’s new?Send one-off emailsHave an occasional email you want to send to your community members, for example promoting an upcoming event? With one-off emails, it is easy to build and send an email to recipients who match your recipient filters. Unlike automated emails, one-off emails will pull the recipient at a given time (upon creation or when scheduled to do so) and send out the email to this audience once. Learn more about how one-off emails work here.  Send automated email campaignsAutomated emails, on the other hand, will dynamically pull the recipient list every hour and trigger the email send as soon as a user matches the set criteria. For example, if you’re running an automated onboarding email campaign, the campaign can trigger an email to send when a user registered exactly 7 days ago. While each individual user will only receive the email once, the campaign dynamically updates the recipient list and sends emails as new users hit the necessary thresholds or requirements. Check out this article for more information and examples of automated email campaigns. Use Segments to target usersDynamically group community members based on set criteria using the Segments feature and easily select that segment as the target audience for your one-off email campaign (coming soon for automated campaigns). This makes it easy to send timely emails, leveraging the rich content that already exists on your community, to drive engagement and help scale digital programs like onboarding.Follow these steps to start building your first segment today, or use one of the adoption flywheel segments we already built for you! Customize your email templates & themesCreate a consistent experience for your community members by customizing the email theme. Set items like the ‘wrapper’ and footer, add your logo or custom header, and adjust the content area to look and feel like your brand.  The possibilities are endless!Together, Segments and Email Campaigns unlocks the ability to continuously connect with your community. There are many different use cases, but let’s look at a few that you can get started with today.Use an automated onboarding email flow every 7, 14, and 30 days to welcome members to your community, educate them on how to use the space, and build positive user habits. Send automated reactivation emails to members that have been inactive for more than 30 days. Build automated adoption email campaigns to drive adoption of different community features like groups.  Create a monthly community digest email recapping the top content. Promote upcoming events and important announcements. Easily invite and communicate with beta testers to seamlessly run beta programs.We hope you are as excited about Email Campaigns & Segments as we are!
