Updates

Fixed minor accessibility issues.

Boei now automatically uses your affiliate link for the small and discrete Boei branding (by-boei text when clicking the button) 🤑
You can enable this Boei branding and your affiliate link by ticking the checkbox button > whitelabel.

You can now configure Boei to auto close the call to action ⭐️

It is now possible to use the hide on pages feature to hide Boei on the homepage as well as other pages 💪

Get more sales with a custom message to customers that want to chat with you 📈
Boei now supports Markdown-formatted messages.

You can now display a Youtube video directly in Boei. When your customer clicks the helper, the video will auto start 🙌

You can now load a HTML page within Boei using an iframe. You can use this to display your product roadmap for example.

It is now possible to display custom HTML directly in Boei. When you click the helper, a widget shows next to Boei with your custom HTML. This can be a video, a message, an image, or anything else.

It is now possible to add your TikTok profile to the Boei menu 😀

Ever wanted to test different variants of your button.
But getting tired of manually copy-pasting button and helper settings?
Now you can copy Boei buttons!
All your button and helper settings will be copied 🥳

All widgets now display the name of the field when you receive an email 💪
The bug with the required comment field has been resolved.

Boei now has two new features that allow you to work with multiple users 🚀

Subaccounts / subusers
Subusers are commonly created to separate usage by team, product, customer, and more.
Each subuser has its own buttons, helpers, and stats, but it's still billed to the same main Boei account balance.
Administrators can manage the buttons of their subusers but the subuser can only manage their own.
If you don't want to restrict access but all work on the same buttons, you can look into the Collaborators feature.

Collaborators
Collaborators feature in Boei is great if you are working together with multiple people on the same buttons and helpers. If you want to restrict access, you can look into the subusers feature.

Since our launch, Boei has relied on word of mouth to acquire new users and continue growing.

To thank everyone who continues to recommend Boei to their friends, coworkers, or followers, we have launched our Affiliate program!

Invite people to create an account through your link and you'll get a 33% commission for every payment they make, forever!  

Any Boei user can now apply to the program from their dashboard (see link in the menu) and start earning money from sharing Boei.

Let's continue growing together!

Youtube's new format for channels: youtube.com/c/[channel_name] is now also supported in Boei.

The Boei button and the close button now have an aria-label element added. This should improve accessibility for people that are using screen readers.

It is now possible to use Skype names that start with "live:".

We just published a fix for Jivochat. Previously, Boei and Jivochat were popping up together on the screen. The fix has been tested with several Jivochat button.
Hope that everything works great again for all of you 💪

Now it's possible to let users close the call to action with a small button. This close button can be enabled at the call to action settings.

Boei can now integrate with Jivochat.

This is how it will look like:

See the guide here: https://boei.help/docs/jivochat

Your customers can now contact you on WeChat via Boei 🥳

They can scan your WeChat QR Code and start chatting with you on WeChat.
It will work as follows: When the user clicks the WeChat option, he/she will see the QR code of WeChat that you have uploaded in Boei.
This way, customers can scan the QR code and start chatting with you 😀

Re-entering information already shared can be annoying.

A new feature is now available to prefill customer's email and name when they are using the widgets.

It works quite simple with just hidden input fields. You should add the hidden fields to your website and then load Boei regularly.

https://app.boei.help/docs/1.0/newsletter_signup#prefill

Some customer ticket-systems need to use a subject line. Inventing a subject line can be difficult so having a field in Boei populated with it works well.
It is now possible to optionally add a subject field in Boei's contact form widget.
Results are shared over Slack, Webhooks, and email.

While it may be a basic feature, I focused my time on delivering value with Boei. I manually helped customers that needed to change their email.
But the time has come! Now it is possible to change your name, email, and password yourself.

It is now possible to set the font and the font-size for Boei buttons.

This bug has now been fixed 💪

The issue was happening for users that have hidden the Boei button, but were still using the custom trigger open it.

Now all interactions are being tracked for these buttons (starting today).

Small update: Improved the design of the highlighted line next to helpers.

YouTube channels are now available as a helper option. Customers can open directly your YouTube channel.

You can now set business hours and hide specific helpers when you are offline.
This helps to reduce phone calls or Whatsapp messages when you are sleeping.

Videos are easier to understand than text, so I made this video to explain how it works:
https://youtu.be/tfhs9j8W864

Helpers are hidden when you are out of office. This comes from a UX perspective: it is annoying to click something, only to find out that it's not available.

This feature is the most upvoted one to date, thanks for your votes 😍

Boei can now be connected to Tawk.to. It is super simple!

I have added around 150 icons for you to choose from 😀

It is now possible to link to Facebook and LinkedIn groups using the helper options.

Clicking on the overlay (background fade) should also close the popup (now it only closes when the X is clicked which is confusing)
