Quantity-limited sales, private events, and parallax websites on phones

Three exciting announcements for today!

Quantity-Limited Purchases

There's now a way to sell items or event seats and put a limit on the number of items that can be purchased. In the page builder, click the Settings button and go to the Payments tab. Where the payment options are listed, there now is a Max # of Sales field. Leave it blank for unlimited sales (great for digital products) or if you have quantity limited items, such as events or inventory, put in a number and a tag. When someone visits the page to check out, it will look to see how many contacts are tagged with the tag that's associated with the payment option and will show the number remaining or prevent the person from purchasing if they aren't any remaining to purchase.  


Private Events

The Events RSVP feature now has a way to hide events from the events list on your website by setting it to "direct link only".  There is a new field shown below when editing events. Choose "direct link only" and the event will only show up when you give someone the link. It won't show on the events list page.

Parallax on Phones

The parallax setting in the page builder now works on phones! Parallax is the scrolling effect where the background image scrolls at a different speed than the foreground content.  Below is a short animation showing how this can look, as an example. Previously parallax only worked on larger screen devices but now it works on phones, too, allowing you to expand your creativity when designing websites.


As always, we hope these changes allow you to get better results in growing your business. If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to support@GetOiling.com . 

Updated Menu, Look and Feel, and Ease-Of-Use Improvements

We hope you find today's update helpful for you (plus, we're super excited about it!) Here are just some of the highlights:

  • Updated menu: faster access to the highest-used features
  • Easier to use: on all devices (especially phones), the updated look and feel makes it easier to navigate and understand (plus, no more side-scrolling on mobile!)
  • Revamped menu editor: edit your website's top menu more easily. Drag and drop menu items between menu headers, not just within the same menu header. Visual changes make it easier to understand how the menu is organized.
  • Photos on certain lists (like the vault list) are bigger to make it easier to recognize the content at a glance.
  • Updated look & feel to help guide you to what matters the most and to help organize content on the screen.
  • Ability to send a campaign right from the campaign editor, so you can send it with fewer steps once you're done editing it
  • Resource Sharing is now called Resource Bundles - you can use them for organizing your own resources and don't have to share them unless you want to.
  • Larger fonts in many places make it easier to read and navigate the system.

Check out the attached screenshots for what a few screens looks like now. 🙂

Thank you for all your feedback that lead to these changes. Let us know at support@GetOiling.com if you have any thoughts or comments - we'd love to hear them!





Filter Contacts Based On Inactivity (Or Activity)

There is now a way to filter contacts based on how recently they have been active!

This is great for cleaning out your list of people who haven't interacted in a long time. For example, you could filter for people who have been inactive for at least 90 days, or 180 days, or whatever time frame you'd like. If you want to see those who have been active in the last number of days, click the "Active" radio button above the field where you type in a number. 

Please watch this short (5 second) video it will show where this field is. To get to this filter box, go to the Contacts menu, click Manage, then click the Filters button and this will appear.



Show More of Your Brand in Your Member Area, and Use a Sales Page in Your Vault

Enhance your branding, visual appeal, and functionality of your member area with the following changes!

First, a photo may now be used in place of the name of the content in the vault content list. For example, instead of simply showing a page name, you can display an image instead. When you're editing a vault, click the photo thumbnail and choose a photo to display. If you would like the photo to display without the name, uncheck the box below the list of vault content.

Similarly, a photo may now be used in place of a lesson name in the lesson list of a class. When you're editing a class, click the photo thumbnail and choose a photo to display. If you would like the photo to display without the lesson name, uncheck the box below the list of lessons.


Vault Sales Pages

For existing members in your member area, have you ever wanted to show a free vault but have to approve people to get in? Or have you had a vault that has a really awesome sales page that you want people to see? Now, you can do both of those with this new feature.  Check the "Let others in the member area see and join this vault" box, and you'll see a few options. People can continue to be sent to the vault, or you can send them to a custom page or any URL of your choosing.  When it is set up this way, any vaults that a person who's already in your member area is not in will be sent to the vault, the website custom page, or your URL when they click.

We hope these changes are helpful for you. Please reach out to support@GetOiling.com if you have any questions or comments. Thank you!


Build Longer Simple Forms on Your GetOiling Custom Pages, and Edit Pages More Easily!

We're excited to announce a way to add more fields to your forms on your pages in GetOiling! This could allow you to eliminate some third-party forms products and do more within your GetOiling system.

Now, you can add up to 50 custom fields on a form, reorder the fields, and even change what type of field it is to create lists for people to choose from.

When you're editing the lead capture settings on a page, there now is an Add Field button at the bottom, and any fields you add can also be removed. The field type can be changed, and the list that appears next to each field can be edited with the Edit List link. Once someone registers, you'll get an email with their responses, and the responses will appear under their Past Actions in their contact record for you to click on and review. This is great for client intake forms, lightweight surveys, gathering information when letting people into a vault, and more.


The Page Builder Settings Improvements

The Page Settings box now has tabs to make it easier to navigate. Click a tab to go to the associated section. For example, here is the Page tab below with common page settings:

The Leads tab has been reorganized to group common settings together to make it easier to set up lead capture. The Payments tab and Advanced tabs also had some changes to make them easier to use.


Opening The Lead Capture or Contact Me Box Just Got Easier!

If you've ever struggled to remember the link of #lead or #contact to open the lead capture box or the Contact Me box, now there are shortcuts available when you're editing a link! Just click the search icon circled below and click on either the "Show Lead Capture" and "Show Contact Me Box". It will automatically insert either #lead or #contact into the URL based on which one you click on.


Find The Page Section Settings Faster

In the page section toolbar, there are two changes:

  1. The previous "half moon" icon has been changed to a pencil and moved to the far left of the toolbar to make it easier to change the section settings.
  2. The "gear" icon on the far right that hid the toolbar is now a right arrow (or left arrow if the toolbar is collapsed).


We hope you find these improvements make the page builder more versatile and easier to use. Please reach out to support@GetOiling.com if you have any questions or comments!
