Release Notes
We have introduced a wiki into the Fluentos Dashboard. It is in the early stages and will be constantly updated.
Introduced email sent out informing about the campaign being published.
Fixed dates to correctly represent timezone changes for teams working across different timezones.
Now campaign time is adjusted to the user's timezone, not the one that was originally created.
Fixed the issue where an expired campaign wasn't automatically unpublished.
Security patch for one of the packages.
Updated Stripe API.
Introducing mathematical operations in conjunction with Live Data. This allows for precise messaging to inform customers about the remainder required for free shipping and other cases where customers need to know the remaining amount to qualify for a promotion.
We are excited to announce another performance optimization release, focusing on enhancing the efficiency and stability of our systems without disrupting user experience.
Campaign Analytics Optimization: Optimized how campaign analytics are processed,
batching requests and setting request to low priority. This ensures they do not interfere
with primary website requests, maintaining a seamless user experience.
Database Request Batching: By batching these requests, we've managed to
significantly reduce latency, speeding up data processing and improving overall performance.
Image Caching: To enhance loading times and reduce bandwidth usage, we have
increased the image cache duration to 1 year. Error Reporting Accuracy: We've made
adjustments to reduce false positives in error reporting from our client script.
Submitted Data Processing: Changes have been implemented in data processing to
avoid interference with Datadog.
Added missing CodeBlock to a tiptap editor.
Security package update: New vulnerabilities were discovered during regular security checks, and related packages were updated to patch underlying issues.
Typography settings have been switched to using @font-face, allowing for more complex cases and dynamic font loading based on weight. Only normal and bold weights are supported, and the font needs to be set up in the same way on the website where the popup is loading. Additionally, pasting content into a rich text editor now cleans all the styles and preserves the typography settings where the cursor is.
Replaced the native input element for date-time, which was used for campaign scheduling, with a community-built Vue3 component. It was causing an inconsistent look and feel across different browsers and operating systems, and on Windows, it wasn't always working, creating frustration points for the customers.
Increased the size of the clickable area for a Popup Close button to 42px, in accordance with the best UX practices for buttons. This resolves the issue related to Dead Clicks, where a user is not able to close the popup on the first attempt and has to repeat the action.
Fixed Campaign A/B Test result calculations. There was a type mismatch issue after the migration.
Updated General Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, Privacy Notice, and Data Processing Agreement to reflect the new updates made for the team setup and to better represent the rights of invited users. Also, updated icons in the dashboard to more accurately convey the Profile View and Company View.
We’re thrilled to announce a significant update to Fluentos, featuring a comprehensive overhaul of our backend infrastructure and numerous enhancements aimed at improving performance, security, and user experience.
New Backend with Team Setup: We’ve launched a completely new backend, designed to
facilitate smoother team collaboration and management.
NodeJS Update: Migrated from NodeJS 16 LTS to the cutting-edge NodeJS 20 LTS,
ensuring enhanced performance and security.
Integration Service Upgrade: Transitioned to the new MailerLite from MailerLite
Classic.
Framework Optimization: Moved from ExpressJS to FastifyJS, now with full TypeScript
support, for faster and more reliable web service.
Authentication: Switched from Auth0 to SuperTokens, introducing a seamless,
passwordless login/sign-up experience to enhance customer satisfaction.
Build System and Performance: Upgraded to Vite 5 for lightning-fast build times and
optimal performance.
Database Security Enhancement: Each entity in our database now has a UUID,
significantly reducing the potential attack surface.
Structural Migration: Successfully migrated all users, campaigns, and companies to a
new, more efficient structure.
Monorepo Transition: Our codebase has moved to a monorepo setup, streamlining
deployment processes and boosting safety and efficiency.
Logging and Traceability: Enhanced infrastructure logging for improved traceability
and debugging.
Permission Validation: Added strict permission validation for Admins and Campaign
Managers across all endpoints.
New Features in a Company Page Section: Introduced invitations and an overview of
access rights within the Company page view.
Profile View Section Enhancements: Added a detailed overview of Company access in the
Profile View, along with the option to create new Companies from the Sidebar.
Notification Improvements: Notification emails are now sent to all Admin users,
ensuring that the right team members are always informed.
Terms and Agreements Updates: Revised our General Terms and Conditions and Data
Processing Agreement to reflect the change in authentication providers.
Asset Storage and Retrieval: Enhanced the performance of cached asset storage and
retrieval, particularly for advanced campaigns.
Internal Caching: Implemented improvements in internal caching mechanisms for better
performance.
Server and API Enhancements: Upgraded EC2 servers to new CPU types and optimized
regions to minimize latency, alongside changes to API endpoint URLs and a new Dashboard URL
structure to align with our updated system architecture.
This release marks a significant milestone in our journey to provide the most efficient, secure, and user-friendly experience to our customers. We’re excited for you to explore these new features and improvements. As always, your feedback is invaluable to us as we continue to refine and expand our platform.
Fixed the issue where locales were incorrectly rendered for Text Component for mobile devices.
Added a localization override for mobile devices to the Text Component, enabling tailored messages for improved styling and communication. This completes the localization overrides for components, eliminating the last barrier to text override on mobile.
Improved Input Component with an Auto-Complete option for a better customer experience when filling out forms for newsletter subscriptions and similar purposes.
Improved UTM parameters for buttons and images. Now, the button link includes utm_content='cta' and utm_term, which adopts the default value from the button component. For images, utm_content='image' is used, without the term. This enhancement adds additional layers for more precise internal analytics and provides a better understanding of user behavior.
Fixed an issue where finishing an A/B test caused the campaign to be unpublished from the test environment.
Enhanced sign-up experience by directing visitors to the correct Fluentos Dashboard sign-up form instead of the login page, eliminating confusion.
Introducing A/B Split Test functionality to enable data-driven decisions. We have not set any limits on the number of variations you can test, giving you maximum flexibility in improving conversion rates.
Additionally, the campaign list display has been enhanced with status badges to indicate whether a campaign is offline, scheduled, or live. This update resolves the previous confusion where campaigns set for future dates appeared as live.
Introducing two new features in our latest update for enhancing UI design flexibility. Firstly, the "Inline Group" component now includes an "Equal Width and Height" horizontal alignment option. This feature ensures balanced appearance for elements within the group, regardless of their individual content sizes. Secondly, we've upgraded the Button component to support multiline text. This allows for greater creative freedom in button design, enabling you to convey more information and create visually engaging design.
Introduced "Equal Width" horizontal alignment option for Inline Group components in our latest update. This option ensures that inlined components within a group, such as buttons, are displayed with consistent width. It is particularly useful in tackling localization challenges, where different languages often resulted in varying component widths. With the "Equal Width" option, your UI design remains uniform and visually appealing across all languages.
Fixed Fluentos script install instructions as it was missing domain name before the script.
We are excited to announce a new feature as part of our commitment to transparency: the introduction of session counts for each website. This enhancement is especially beneficial for organizations managing multiple websites to see a clear breakdown on website session usage.
We are pleased to announce the successful migration of our Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF) to a new API. This change was necessitated by the End Of Life status of the previous Firewall rules API and ensures continued robust security and optimal performance of our services.
After many setbacks, Fluentos Dashboard got major upgrades in our latest release, focusing on performance, user experience and more efficient technologies.
Load Time:
Improved load times by a staggering 40%.
Bandwidth Optimization:
By dropping Nuxt 2 framework we've successfully cut down bandwidth usage by 50% for both compressed and uncompressed
assets. This means a faster, more efficient dashboard experience for you.
Event Listener Reduction:
By reducing event listeners by 5%, we've enhanced the responsiveness and stability of our app.
Components:
Some Vuetify components have been replaced with more performant comunity
driven alternatives. This not only tackles memory leaks but also ensures a smoother, more reliable
user experience. This was challenging to do with Nuxt 2 and
Vue 2.
Unified Styling:
Centralized our styling approach and made defaults consistent
across the app, creating a more cohesive and intuitive interface.
Tech Stack Upgrade:
We've made major changes to our tech stack. Migrated from Nuxt 2,
Vue 2, Vuetify 2, and Axios to Vue 3, Vuetify 3
and native Fetch API. This transition now allows for a server-side rendering on the cloudflare edge,
significantly improving the speed and efficiency of campaign saving, publishing, and edge
caching. Combined with Vite, these changes not only result in great final builds but also
enhance the developer experience and enable much faster builds. This is crucial to our core
values of maintaining a sustainable tech stack.
Theme Enhancements:
The Fluentos Dashboard is now more condensed with an
improved contrast ratio, making for a more comfortable and accessible reading experience.
This update marks a significant leap forward in our journey which allows to meet customer new demands. Also as part of this release we're ending Beta stage.

We’ve added a feature for multi-environment publishing. For those utilizing the Test Environment, you can now selectively publish campaigns either to Test, Production, or both, right from the campaign publish section. This enhancement simplifies the process of testing campaigns thoroughly before going live, ensuring a seamless transition with a minimal overhead.
Enhancments of our monitoring system. Started monitoring total session and event counts to better understand the infrastructure load and identify anomalies in real-time.
Navigating the complexities of localisation just got easier! We understand the intricacies each language brings, especially in single popup campaigns. So, we’re thrilled to introduce Popup Dimension Localisation. Tailor the width and height of your popups for both mobile and desktop devices across each locale, ensuring a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing look regardless of the language. Say goodbye to one-size-fits-all and hello to customized, language-specific popup dimensions!
We’re excited to unveil our first widget - the Countdown Widget, designed with extensibility and efficiency at its core. If you’re not using it, rest easy; the payload to your customers remains unchanged. Assets are fetched just in time, thanks to our revamped architecture. Experience optimum speed and performance ensuring your customers enjoy the best user experience. Even better, the countdown is tailored to your time zone, ensuring multi-country campaigns adhere to your local time. Once the clock runs out, the campaign closes and won’t reopen. Get ready to create irresistible Black Friday deals, exclusive pre-sale subscriptions, and enticing time-limited offers.
Identified and addressed limits on servers and databases! By increasing payload capacities for both, we’re now better equipped to seamlessly handle multistep localized campaigns across numerous countries.

Modified the website URL trigger for the equal strategy. Now, it validates the path excluding the domain, making it easy to work with a test environment.
Integration mapping now supports dynamic values at both the integration and campaign
integration level. Currently supported values are {{IP}}, {{dataHub:your key}}, {{ORIGIN}} and {{LOCALE}}. This improves localized campaign integration and provides you with more options for
capturing the data your integration requires.
Major updates have been made to the customer-facing Fluentos Script. We’ve improved the traceability of stale assets, introducing a method to track deprecations and remove them safely. The script installation retains the "first served" principle, ensuring no changes in single-page applications even with additional requests to the main script. Styles now load in a non-blocking manner, further enhancing our already impressive asset handling experience.
The "Thank You" step now correctly triggers after clicking a CTA (call to action) link on the button component and on the image component.
Elevate your popup strategy with our new timed behaviour feature! Now you can automate popup actions for each step, group and device. Set actions - hide, close, expand, or minify - based on a timer and define limits per session. This allows expanding a popup just once, closing the 'thank you' step repeatedly, or creating a sense of urgency with a popup that continually hides and shows.
Migrated 4 previously missed templates to our localized setup. This resolves the issue where rich text wasn’t displaying after copying a template.

And for our designers – we’ve got your back! To prevent popup layout breakages from lengthy texts,
try our new live data mocking feature. Use {{dataHub:your key:any value}} and "any value" will display exclusively in the popup builder design section, allowing
you to style with expected values in mind.
This allows for great personalization options, whether it’s a customer’s name or basket value you’d
like to display inside the popup.
Improved Time Spent Trigger, you can base the timer on either page load or session start, giving you finer control over customer engagement timing.
Ever wanted more control over your popups’ display hierarchy? With the new Campaign Priority feature, it’s yours! Dictate whether a popup stays for a new one or simply gets suspended.
