Recent ShortStack upgrades
Here’s a look at the latest platform upgrades that have been made to ShortStack. For more details on individual enhancements, check out our blog.
Another Support Resource: Working With Widgets
The Working With Widgets tutorial tour is now available in the Tutorials menu! To open the Tutorials menu, click the ? icon to the left of your Add Widgets Panel in the Campaign Builder.
Panel Resizing Just Got WAY Easier
Have you ever wanted just a bit more control over the Add Widgets, Edit Widgets and Style Panels in your Campaign Builder? Now you have just that. Drag the line between the Add and Edit Widgets panels to resize the heights on those, or drag the inner edge (right edge of Add/Edit, or left edge of Style) of any panel to resize the widths. Double-click the inner edge of any panel to revert to default widths for all panels.
Instagram Hashtag Feeds: Now Without @Mentions
Instagram hashtag feeds can now be set up without requiring an @mention in the Instagram post! While this does allow for some freedom, it does come with some caveats. If you choose not to require an @mention, you won’t be able to limit entries by username, use emojis in your chosen hashtags, or use our Rights Management tool for any of the collected entries. Other than that, have fun tracking those hashtags!
Archive Your Lists and Emails Too!
In the same way we recently rolled out archiving of campaigns, now you can archive lists and emails too! The option is available in your Lists and Emails Managers, and will allow you to hide rarely-used items to keep things organized. This is especially helpful if you have a large number of lists/emails, so get to organizing!
Rich Text Widget: There’s a snippet for that.
The Rich Text Widget now supports saving snippets of text; handy for saving your official rules, or any other tidbits of text you find yourself using often when building campaigns! The snippets function works just like the snippets we already support in the Code Widget. You can save your content into a library of saved snippets, and then insert any of your saved snippets into any of your Rich Text Widgets (in any campaigns you build) in the future.
Archive Your Campaigns!
There are times when you may be done with a campaign and don’t want to delete it, but do want it out of your way – don’t we all love a decluttered workspace? With that in mind, you can now archive campaigns in the Campaigns Manager. Simply click on the campaign in the Manager, then click the Archive button that appears up top. To view archived campaigns, you’d open the Campaigns Manager, click Archived in the filtering options on the left, then click the checkbox. It’s an easy way to keep things out of sight until you absolutely need them – give it a try!
