We have made an improvement to our navigation sidebar that we believe will greatly enhance your overall experience with our product. Over the past 12 month, you would have noticed, the sidebar involve.

Based on user feedback and our own internal analysis, we have completely redesigned and revamped the navigation sidebar. Our goal was to make it more intuitive, user-friendly, and visually appealing. The new design will also ensure that the exciting new features we are currently developing find their way into your hands more easily.

So, what's new in the navigation sidebar? Let's take a closer look at some of the key changes:

1. Streamlined and organized layout: We have reorganized the navigation options to make it easier for you to find what you need. The most frequently used features are now prominently displayed at the top, while the less commonly used ones are grouped together in a more logical manner.

2. Easy access to Profile: We have brought all your profile, account and settings information at one place right at the bottom left part for easy access

3. Developer relevant options are in one place: Billwerk+ Connect, Developer configurations and the Old Dashboard are all now at one place under the "See more" section.

❗️We have left the Configuration section purposely unchanged for now. But it would soon be made consistent with other options over the next few weeks. Until then please bear with us.

Do let me us know what you think about these new changes in the comments below.

Several months ago, we introduced a block-based email template builder, allowing you to effortlessly create email templates by simply dragging and dropping blocks onto your canvas. This builder comes equipped with plenty of useful tools, offering both simplicity and robust functionality. 

Go To the Email Template Section

Among the features you will find:

• Drag & Drop Interface
• Merge Tags
• Custom File Storage
• Tailored Tools and Blocks
• Undo & Redo Functionality
• Mobile-Responsive Content Creation
• Swift Deployment Process

Now, we're excited to announce the update of our default email templates, utilizing the new block builder and featuring a fresh design. For your peace of mind, we've ensured that you can still access the old default templates or your custom templates if you had them activated and were using them before. Whether you've been using a custom or default template previously, you'll continue with your current template unless you opt to activate the new default template or choose to clone it and make your own version based on the default template.

One noteworthy feature of the block builder is the MERGE TAG button within the text block, enabling you to seamlessly integrate data from your Billwerk+ account into your emails. For instance, you can personalize greetings by incorporating the customer's first name.

If you are using webhooks and use IP whitelisting for the reception of webhooks, this is important to you. We are making an infrastructure change which means that from April 2nd, webhooks can also come from IP 34.247.100.100, in addition to the existing IP 52.18.114.235.

We have also introduced hosted page products to provide you with enhanced configuration options. These products are specifically designed for customization within your hosted pages. Once you have configured multiple products, you can seamlessly integrate them into your hosted page.

In just a matter of minutes, you can effortlessly create these hosted pages and obtain a distinct link that directly navigates to your hosted page. This link can be easily incorporated into a button on your website or blog, included in your newsletter, inserted within your Facebook group or Instagram page, or even transformed into a QR code. The possibilities are endless, limited only by your imagination. With this convenience, you have the freedom to sell your subscriptions anywhere you desire.

When setting up a hosted page product, you have the flexibility to modify various aspects that influence both the product's appearance and the customer's purchasing experience. For instance, you can manage the name, description, icons, benefits, fields, and more, determining how your products are showcased in the hosted page product catalog and during the hosted page checkout process. Additionally, you can create a product that includes not only a plan but also several add-ons and additional costs. This means that when a customer purchases this product, they will be subscribed for all associated elements simultaneously.

Once you have created your hosted page products, seamlessly integrating them into your hosted page becomes a breeze. Moreover, you have the flexibility to create multiple hosted pages as needed. Within these hosted pages, you can assign a name, an acceptance URL, and a cancel URL. The acceptance URL directs customers after a successful subscription sign-up, while the cancel URL guides them in the event of a change of mind. Additionally, you can specify the language for your hosted page, select an accent color that complements your brand, define the accepted payment methods for customers, and determine the product lineup and its presentation order within your hosted page.
