Refactor

  • Sumo Core: Updated the checkboxes throughout the app to use the new Sumo component library.

Mar 5, 2018

Features

  • Chat: Add ability to change background image within Chat settings
  • Chat: Allow use of Display Rule sets within Chat
  • Dashboard: Implemented a better “Empty State” for first time users on the Overview, Pages, and Forms views
  • Discount Codes: Forms no longer lose their assigned discount campaign upon Shopify reconnect
  • Discount Codes: Now allow the use of {discount}, {discount_code}, and {price} in: subscribe_redirect_url, pixels_conversion, and the form button’s redirect to link.

Fixes

  • WordPress: Dashboard stats in wordpress was not showing properly since removing the legacy dashboard. This is fixed.
  • Sumo.com: Fixed display bug where both Plugins and other links in the menu were activated at the same time.
  • Shopify: Cleared cache upon token reauthentication so token would no longer appear invalid.
  • Dashboard: Page previews/screenshots are now centered and don’t repeat
  • Sign Up Issues: Upon signing up, we’d sometimes ask the user to sign in again immediately. This no longer happens.
  • Login Issues: We’d sometimes give a 502 error upon login for users with no sites. This has been resolved.

Refactor

  • List Builder: Refactored to share some common functions among all the different form types. This should result in a lower file size, faster load times, and improved reliability.
  • Routing: Rely more on React Router to handle our routing and remove unnecessary path data when managing Sumo through sumo.com. Legacy URLs should continue to work.

Features

  • Subscribers: Improved the queries within Subscribers. It’s much much faster now.
  • Chat: Added admin-side noise upon receipt of chat message.
  • Sumo.com: Added the site’s paid plan within sumo.com/sites in the detailed view.
  • Sumo: If a site doesn’t have access to a specific feature, the pricing view now says which exact feature is missing.
  • Message Center: Added ability to schedule campaigns for a future date/time!

Fixes

  • List Builder: Added more validation to check for saving a form without a discount when it needs one, resulting in a form that would never show.
  • Dashboard: Use our CDN for thumbnails resulting in faster thumbnail loading.
  • Google Analytics: Previously, Pageviews/Session was taking into account 0 Pageviews/Session per interval resulting in partial Pageview/Session data.
  • ListBuilder/Legacy WM: Legacy WM emails were not being included in exported CSVs. This has been fixed.
  • Shopify: Added checks within LB to make sure the Shopify token is still valid. Also added statuses within the campaigns themselves so paused forms can be resumed upon accidental Shopify disconnection.
