Updates

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.

Your customers can now contact you on WeChat via Boei 🥳

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.

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.
