We're excited to announce an exciting new feature on our product, AnnounceKit. We've just added more options for filtering posts on our Posts page.

With these new filters, you'll be able to easily sort and manage your posts. You can now filter by post status, created by, and labels. This makes it easier for you to find the posts you're looking for and to manage them quickly and efficiently.

Also, We're adding two buttons to you will be able to quickly access your feed page and theme designer with this improvement.

We're always looking for ways to improve your experience with AnnounceKit, and we think this new feature will help make your workflow smoother. If you have any feedback or questions, please let us know. We'd love to hear from you.

Happy announcing!

We’re excited to announce a new feature for AnnounceKit - integration with Grammarly, the spelling and grammar-checking tool. Starting today, you can use Grammarly to check all of your AnnounceKit posts for typos and grammar mistakes, free of charge.

We know how important it is to have clear, accurate communication with your audience. That’s why we’re offering this integration to all of our plans. Whether you’re just getting started with AnnounceKit or you’re a longtime user, you can now make sure your posts are typo-free and look professional.

We’re always looking for ways to make AnnounceKit better for you, and we hope that this integration helps you create more engaging error-free posts.

Happy posting!

Did you ever struggle with users not telling you what they need? Do you only collect feature requests internally or via user interviews? 

With this new feature, AnnounceKit users will be able to set up a page for their products and services where customers, users, and followers can directly suggest new features and improvements. The tool is designed to make it easy for users to submit feature requests, as well as for product managers and developers to manage and prioritize those requests.

If the feature request is unclear, you can leave clarifying comments and once the feature has sufficient votes you can simply add it to your roadmap.

Wondering how to get started?

The feature will be available for everyone in beta, but in the future availability might change depending on the plan

-> If you're interested in trying out the feature request, please comment "I’m in!" below and we'll share the beta access link with you

Check out our guide on "How to use the Feature Request Tool in AnnounceKit"

Pro Tips: 

1. You can also create a feature suggestion and see how users react to it & how many votes it receives from the audience. 
2. The more users you drive to your "feature request" page the more representative the votes will be & the more effective the suggestions. (We will make positioning easy in the future, but for now, we leave it up to you to tell your users where they can leave suggestions)
3. If you have wishes for the AnnounceKit Platform, you can find our Feature Requests here 😏

Another year has passed, and this time of the year is when we look at ourselves and realize how we made it. At AnnounceKit, we seek ways to “always do better,” so we want to reflect on how far we came for you to do better this year!

In this year-end roundup, we’ll take a look back at the significant updates and experiences that have shaped 2022– all created to better your customer engagements.

Taking a moment to reflect on the past year and share some exciting updates and experiences

It was a year full of significant improvements, fantastic growth, and much joy between you and us. No joy can come out of zero. To bring success and joy to you, we started the year with one– the goal of expanding the powers of our product. As a result, we gathered three infinity stones to complete a significant part of the customer feedback cycle.

1. Listening to customer feedback 👂
2. Outlining a public roadmap 🗺
3. Writing outstanding announcements 📣

Key Updates

Concentrating our main goal of expanding the powers of our product, our effort to improve your experience was our main motivation. With that in mind, our team has grown our feature set with several major updates. And our efforts and motivation finally resulted in a new product concept of creating a centralized place for the customer feedback loop.

1. Product Feedback and Idea Voting

To complete the first step of the customer feedback cycle, we introduced our product feedback and idea voting feature in beta this year. With this development, you can easily create a centralized place for customers to submit and vote on the feature requests they’re most interested in seeing.

And for you, this can help guide your product development and ensure you build the features that matter most to your audience 

2. Public and Internal Roadmap

Without completing each step successfully, we wouldn’t be able to reveal and expand the power of the customer feedback loop. The second stage is the second leverage— keeping your customers informed about what’s coming next for your product and building transparency with your audience.

This new addition to the product creates a better atmosphere for your audience where you keep them informed, engaged, and excited.

3. AI Writing Assistance

And finally, the last (but not least) step of the customer feedback loop— making announcements and product updates. Product updates are the phase where we are the strongest and the reason you are with us today. With that in mind, we sought ways to improve your experience with writing product updates. And our little friend is the result of this brainstorming! 

Hence, we were more proud than ever to introduce our AI assistant this year. He is not only a major improvement in shortening the time you spend writing product announcements, but he also is a milestone of what will happen in the future.

This is something we have been excited to launch for a while, and now, we're thrilled to share the roadmap feature is officially here 🤘

Some of you have been using the roadmap in beta, so we want to thank you for all your contributions to making the final touches 🤝

Now, with the roadmap, you can outline your upcoming announcements on your feed and widget and keep your audience updated on what's coming next!

You can check our Roadmap Guide to get started or ask questions by commenting here. We can't wait to see what you all create with it 👀

We're more than excited to announce that the roadmap feature in AnnounceKit is now in beta! 🎉

Hey everyone! We're excited to announce that if you have an existing emailing list and would like to send out product updates and announcements to them via email, you are now able to import your user list to your AnnounceKit project 💌

To get started, simply head over to the People tab and select "Import". From there, you can upload your CSV file and select which columns correspond to user attributes.

For a successful user list importing experience, see the steps🚶and beware of the requirements❗️ given in our User List Import Guide.

Great news, fresh from the oven! 🧁 Your users are more likely to pay attention to the emails when they come from your email address. From now on, AnnounceKit will allow you to set up your company email to send product updates and announcements from your own domain address!

To start sending an email from your own domain, you can change your email provider to a custom provider like SMTP or Mailgun at Email Settings first and follow our instructions for setting up verification.
