Have you or your users come across these error messages? validation.user_register.ratelimit or validation.user_login.ratelimit. This is due to our rate limiting feature being applied when specific users or actions exceed a defined limit. We've developed the following rate limits: Limit on failed registration: visitors from one IP cannot attempt more than 5 tries per hour when registering a user Limit on failed login: visitors from one IP cannot attempt more than 5 tries per hour when trying to login as a user You don't want this limit in your instance? No problem, just drop us a line at support@company.com and we can disable it for you. The phrase is not shown correctly? If the errors are shown as validation.user_register.ratelimit or validation.user_login.ratelimit, it can be confusing for users to figure our what is going on. You can easily change them by adding the following phrases in the control environment of your community: Module: Common, Key: validation.user_login.ratelimit Module: Common, Key: validation.user_register.ratelimit - Frank
Injecting more data into your reporting takes your view on the customer journey to a whole new level. Regardless of the report or dataset you’re using—whether it’s feature adoption data or a geographical view of your customers and their support requests—smart use of more data will grant you a better view on your customer and their needs. To better enable you to customize your reporting, we have decided to start adding custom integrations. We make a distinction between two types: Platform integrations: E.g. connecting to other SaaS software like CompanyA and CompanyB Personal integrations: E.g. pieces of code or links to datasets that you have built yourself and would like to integrate in your datasets Both are currently available for all customers in the back-end of Company. DONE, RELEASED, YEAH! Example use-cases: You want to create an overview of all customer data, including demographics & usage of your platform, and then tie that into CRM data including how many times they have reached out to your support team or how often they use certain features of your product. Using one of our many out of the box integrations, this could be done immediately You want to create a list of all freemium customers, and the adoption of certain features that would make them likely to eventually convert to a paid customer, and perhaps include back-end conversion rates & journey through the pages. By using a custom integration to Google Analytics, or using the API of your product it’s easy to make this visible through our reporting platform. Possibilities are endless. Benefits of integrated data In case you are not convinced yet! With integrated data, you get the benefit of a blind spot-free, 360 degree view of all your data, and because you've integrated it, it won't take weeks to compile a report that you need to make a critical business decision. In addition, your data is available across your organization — your Marketing team can see the Sales data, and the Sales team can see Marketing data. More importantly, the Executive team can make sound decisions based on the aggregate data from all departments. In addition, because the data is being cleansed and processed for integration, the data quality is higher, and it is handled in a way that meets compliance standards. Ready to get started? We can help. Contact support to get you started on data integration. We will also schedule the publication of several How-to’s and guides to help make integrating data a breeze for anyone. - Frank
Hey everyone! I was taking out the trash this morning—that’s when I do my best thinking lol, and had a super quick idea on how to easily use our software for Lead Scoring. We have had requests before to add functionality for this to our product, but I think there’s already a quick and insightful way to get you there with your current implementation. So, here’s what I’ve been thinking to solve this: What if we use any actions users perform in your product and attribute a score to them. Example: every time a user logs in to your app, we give them 10 points. Whenever they activate a new feature in a trial, we give them 25. There’s no standard way to create an overview based on ruling like this, but we can solve that using custom formulas: [code]Count of ‘App opens’ * 10[code] Applying this formula and adding it to a custom report would give us a real-time count of accounts with the most opens and thus highest score. If we then add a timeframe to the report, we could run this monthly and thus dedicate your full attention to the most engaged users every month. I hope this is of use to anyone! - Frank
We’re always updating our users on new features we launch via the community. It’s such a great way to communicate on a 1-to-many basis with our customers. Additionally, what’s even better is that we have started to launch beta testing groups on our community where we invite a certain number of customers to test new features before we release them. Not only does this allow us to iron out any bugs before a full roll-out, it also creates a real feeling of collaboration and togetherness between us and our customers. Such a great way to make sure you are building a product that really meets the needs of your end users!
