SocialBee changelog socialbee.io

Every once in a while, we see an article that we'd love to add to our posting queue, but it would just take so long to set it all up in SocialBee. 💻

We offered a solution via Pocket (a browser extension and mobile app) long ago, but we've made a lot of improvements for you to take advantage of right now! 🤩

🐝 Add your posts to the top or bottom of the queue 👉 You can now choose if you want to import your feeds to the top of your queue or to the bottom.

🐝 Deleting a Pocket now also offers the possibility to delete previously imported posts from your category.

🐝 Adding or removing social accounts from your Pocket setup will also have the option to apply those posts to social accounts.

🐝 You can now choose how many articles to import (1, 10, or more), which means you will be able to import more than the standard 10 posts from a tag you add to SocialBee.

See the in-depth article on this here: 📝 How do I use Pocket to Import Content?

So, we are asking, are you ready to carry the best article in your pocket? 😂

Over the past few days, you've probably experienced some issues with Facebook Groups disconnecting on a daily basis.

We are sorry for the inconveniences this caused but are happy to say that the issue has been fixed.

Here's what you need to do to make sure it doesn't happen again

👉 Go to your SocialBee Dashboard

👉 Reconnect your Facebook Group one more time.

👉 If you haven't done so yet, please add the SocialBee App to your group.

If you're still experiencing issues after this, please get in touch with our support team, but don't worry, our tech team did a great job fixing this issue, unlike Phoebe…

If you logged into SocialBee today and thought to yourself: "Hey, something looks a bit different…" 🧐 Well, let's just say you would be 100% correct!

We've upgraded a few things! 😎 Keep an eye out for:

📁 Icons all over SocialBee are new and improved to make our design smoother than before.

🎫 Notifications have moved to the top right corner. (Beware! They're shy and will disappear within 3 seconds)

👓 Zapier templates no longer perform a vanishing act when you set them up. They're here to stay.

Needless to say, we've been staring at them all day… Even tried it with 3D glasses… 🤓 Spoiler alert: Nothing changed.

After quite a few incidents with insufficient permissions for Facebook Groups, we've decided to offer a helping hand! 👋🏻

Our detective bees will now search if the SocialBee app has already been added to the Facebook group and, if you see a red warning sign ⚠️ you know you'll have to do that!

Time to create some content, this time 100% positive that it will actually be published, instead of returning some error you don't really understand. 👩🏻‍💻

For some time now, we've been struggling to understand the definition of default. We've searched high and low 🔎, flipped through dictionaries 📚, we even Googled it 💻!

It seems we were, in fact, wrong. 😔 Default means "a preselected option by a computer program or other mechanism when no alternative is specified by the user or programmer" and we didn't quite do that…

To fix this, our developer bumblebees came through! 🐝 Starting today, whenever you create a new workspace, you’ll automatically get our suggested categories to help start things up.

Here's our question to you: Which one do you think you use the most? 🤔 We'd go for Quotes, Questions, and Fun! 🤩

You can learn about all of them here: 📝 What are the Preset Categories?

We find labels to be a great tool to understand our clients and build our platform around your needs. But how can we make this quick and easy for everyone? With labels, of course! 🔖

This is why we are introducing a new, 3-question popup for each of your workspaces. Select the size of your business, the type, the industry, click on "Done", and you're all set! 🤩

We love categories, but you can bet that we'll keep track of this to learn about our clients and research what we can add to SocialBee to make things easier with almost no effort from you. 🔎

In order to improve, we must change… Or was it the other way around? 🤔 All we know is that our developers have been working day and night to get this better, more powerful version of our RSS feature out.

Here's what changed:

🔎 We have a new popup and boy! it's pretty;

🔮 We're using a crystal ball RSS Previews to see how your posts will look published;

🏃‍♂️ We've increased the speed and got rid of some bugs to improve our performance.

Check out the new look below: 👇

Think you've forgotten how to create an RSS Feed in SocialBee? Check out our help article for all the steps and details:

📝 How Do I Add RSS Feeds?

Curious like a cat? 🐈 Stop asking "What's that?!" and start using this powerful feature to get content from your favorite websites to your SocialBee categories, and straight to your social media! 📱

The ability to import posts from RSS feeds is one of our most used features. So now, we've made it even more powerful.

Here are some of the sweet things we've added:

🐝 RSS top/bottom queue 👉 You can now choose if you want to import your feeds to the top of your queue or to the bottom.

🐝 Deleting an RSS/Pocket now also offers the possibility to delete previously imported posts from your category

🐝 When adding/taking out social accounts from an RSS/Pocket, you now have the option to apply those posts to social accounts

🐝 There's a New import number functionality (1, 10, 100 or how many items the RSS has if lower than 100), which means you will be able to import more than 10 posts from a new feed you add to SocialBee

You can learn more about how yo use these features in our help documentation: https://help.socialbee.io/article/86-how-do-i-add-rss-feeds

Are you as excited about these features as Joey is, doing his happy dance?

You may have noticed there are a few changes happening in the RSS Feature in your SocialBee account.

RSS configuration now has different content options, based on the platform plan you're currently on.

What does this mean? Based on your license, you may have a few more options available to customize your posts imported through RSS.

If you're on an Accelerate or PRO Plan, you will be able to select between different options of text for your post.

You can read more info about our RSS feature in our help documentation: https://help.socialbee.io/article/86-how-do-i-add-rss-feeds

So now you don't have to guess what the text is going to be, unlike Joey…

You've asked and we've taken our honey-sweet time to deliver. 🤭

What's going on? 🤔 We've recently changed the way you can schedule your categories and maybe those of you who have an inner detective noticed this… 🕵️‍♂️

What's that, you might ask? 👀 Categories can now be dragged and dropped as you need in your Calendar View for extra tweaking and customizing! 🤩

So, to quote Phoebe, finally the change is here! We love it so much, we've been dragging and dropping the categories around all day.
