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.

Noticeable Newpages can be embedded into a full page of your website as a Widget, rather than redirecting users to a basic noticeable.news domain or your own subdomain.

Here is an integration example:

Click on Install onto your site in the bottom right side.
Copy the code snippet that is provided and paste it into your page.

Question 3

How to use Noticeable on mobile devices? 📱

Accepted Answer

Noticeable widgets works smoothly with mobile devices when rendered in a browser. All widget layouts are responsive. However, we do not provide an SDK yet to render Widgets in mobile apps.

Using Noticeable in a mobile app

An easy manner to integrate Noticeable with an Android or iOS app is to use a WebView to open your Noticeable project Newspage. Another solution is to fetch the data you need using the GraphQL API we provide. This last allows fetching publications with any programming languages.

Question 4

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

Question 5

What's Noticeable EU GDPR compliance status?

Accepted Answer

The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation that aims at unifying EU member state data privacy regulations into a single regulation, enforced on the EU single market. This article describes the GDPR compliance status of Noticeable.

| To ensure your company is GDPR-compliant, it needs to ensure its providers (i.e. Noticeable) are also GDPR compliant. Noticeable is GDPR-compliant, and strictly enforces the regulation as to protect the user data we store. The list of our providers (ie. Data Processors) is available, and kept up to date, in our Data Processing Agreement (DPA).

Noticeable data processor providers have been checked to be GDPR-compliant (Cloudflare, Stripe) or certified to the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework (Firebase Authentication, Firebase Hosting, Cloud Firestore for Firebase).

Noticeable and GDPR

The GDPR regulation can be reduced to 12 important points. For each point, we explain how Noticeable handles its compliance. If we did not answer your questions in this article, you can still contact us and drop us a chat or email.

All employees responsible for software development & infrastructure maintenance of Noticeable are fully aware of the GDPR requirements.

Question 6

Widget Cross-Device Synchronization 💾

Accepted Answer

Cross-device synchronization allows synchronizing user widget states (e.g. read/seen publications) so they can pick up where they were left off when they move between devices.

Let's take an example: you have integrated a Noticeable Widget on your pages for authenticated users and you recently released a new publication. A user opens your page by using a mobile device. Since a new publication was published, the Noticeable Widget notifies the user. The user reads the publication and leaves your page. Now, a few hours or days later the same user comes back on your pages but connecting from a laptop. What happens?

If you don't use cross-device synchronization, the user will get notified again by the Noticeable Widget about your new publication. However, if cross-device synchronization is configured, the widget states are retrieved from Noticeable servers and the user does not get notified again for something he was already aware of, thus offering a continuous browsing experience.

How to enable Widget Cross-Device Synchronization?

Enabling the feature requires 2 actions:

Open the Noticeable dashboard, select a project, click on Widgets in the left menu and select Enabled for the Cross-Device Synchronization switch that appears:

Uniquely identify your users by using the [Noticeable JavaScript SDK](/en-us/arti
