or every email you send and for each recipient you send to, you can see if your emails are getting read, in what environments, and more. When Noticeable saves open tracking information, we save the information as a unique open, aggregated by the tag you sent the email with, and aggregated for your account overall.

With the data provided by open tracking, you can get some new insights into your business:

Individual open tracking—My user Jane hasn't opened any emails this month, maybe she isn't an active user any more?
Tracking opens by tag—Sending emails with an exclamation point in the subject results in two times the opens!
Geographic information—20% of my emails are being read in Mexico, should I translate my app into Spanish?
Email client—A majority of my emails are being read in Outlook, I should make sure my email designs look great there.
Platform—Most of my users are reading emails on mobile devices, I need to get the mobile version of my site ready ASAP!
Operating system—Only 2% of my users are reading emails on a Mac, maybe I don't need to invest in an OSX desktop application.

Question 3

How to Upgrade from Legacy Timelines?

Accepted Answer

**As of February 1, 2021, we renamed Timelines to Newspages. The backend has also been completely rewritten to improve security and better handle the scale. As part of these changes, DNS records for your custom domain must be changed and Newspages must now be embedded in your pages as a Noticeable Widget by using our new JavaScript SDK. The change is purely technical. Your Newspage aesthetic will remain the same. **

|| Legacy Noticeable Timelines have been deprecated on February 1, 2021 and started redirecting to this page on April 9, 2021. We sent up to 4 upgrade emails to organization owners and project admins between February and April 2021. To re-enable your custom domain, please update your DNS records as explained below.

Updating DNS records

We changed our backend infrastructure. As part of this change, you need to update the DNS records that are used to serve your custom domain.

Open the Noticeable Dashboard.
Select your project and click on Newspage on the left menu.
Follow the custom domain setup instructions under Basic & Custom Domain section.
Click on the Verify button:

| You can remove the old DNS records of type A associated with your custom domain that point to 151.101.1.195 and 151.101.65.195 along with the CNAME or TXT record that you added for domain verification by Google

Question 4

Why Noticeable?

Accepted Answer

The most important moment for your users to care about new product features or improvements is when they're using your product, so that's exactly where you should be announcing your updates: in-app.

With Noticeable, you can easily announce relevant news, your latest features, and updates using a nice widget. Users can send feedback, which provides immediately interpretable, and actionable data to improve your product and reduce churn.

That's not all. A single channel to communicate your important updates is often not enough. That's why Noticeable provides a Newspage but also integrates with 2,000+ services via Zapier. Soon, web notifications and native email forwarding will also be part of the service.

To sum up, Noticeable improves user engagement with an easy to use newsfeed and changelog that you can embed on your pages thanks to its widgets. Besides, you can grow without worrying about the scalability, reliability, and maintenance of your notification center and changelog. You save weeks of development headache and you can focus on what makes your app unique instead of publishing manually the same update on different channels.
