Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new comprehensive data protection law that has been in effect since May 25, 2018. It replaced existing EU Data Protection law to strengthen the protection of “personal data” and the rights of the individual. It is a single set of rules which govern the processing and monitoring of EU data.

| Noticeable is GDPR-compliant and fully committed to upholding compliance with GDPR.

GDPR Compliance Questions

1. What personal data does Noticeable collects?

Your team member data including, but not limited to, names, email addresses, job titles, and avatar.
Your customer data including, but not limited to, names, email addresses. Note that data collection about your customers is optional and depends on the features your enable and data you pass with our SDK.

2. Where is data stored and processed?

Data is stored in the US and processed in multiple regions worldwide. Getting data close to where users are allows reducing latency and improve service responsiveness. We work with multiple international and EU companies, and all data is handled in compliance.

Question 5

Publication Segmentation 🎯

Accepted Answer

Publication segmentation can be used to send targeted messages to specific groups of users. For example, you can show different publications to paying users and non-paying or logged in users and logged out. You can also show different content to users based on behaviors such as past purchases from your store or which specific page they are visiting on your domain.

| Segmentation is a seemingly simple but extremely powerful mechanism to filter publications based on your own conditions.

Getting Started

Let's say you have configured a widget on your landing page and another one in your dashboard that only authenticated users see. Now, let's assume you would like to display general announcements in both widgets but some publications only to authenticated users who are on your Business plan.

How to enable this use case? A manner to proceed is to use segmentation for publications that must target connected users that run the Business plan. This works in 2 steps:

You configure a widget to specify what segmented publications to load (in addition to non-segmented publications).
You publish a publication with segment values.

Configuring your Widget

First, you need to configure the widget where you want to enable segmentation. Following our illustration example, it would be the widget that appears in your dashboard. This is done with our JavaScript SDK as follows: `noticeable.render('widget', wid
