Now, it's even simpler to make your home page what you want it to be, and even choose a home page that isn't in your menu! To set a custom home page, click on the Customize My Site menu item in the menu, then choose your home page from the "I would like my home page to be" field. You can choose from one of the built-in website themes, your blog, or a custom page, and easily choose a landing page, too, if you'd like.
The rest of the Customize My Site page has been organized to make it easier to use and to know which setting applies to what area of your site.
The page editor itself also has a way to make your home page be the current page that you're editing, so you don't have to go looking elsewhere. Click this new little dropdown next to the Settings button, and then choose to set this page as the home page of your site. Additionally, there now is a way to make a copy of the page you're editing and even delete the page.
You can continue to use the menu editor to set a custom home page as well.

Have you ever known what you're looking for and wanted to go right to it? Now, you can, with the new search bar at the top of the GetOiling back office!
Click in the "type to find something" bar and type to find it! Whether it's a name of a page or a campaign or a contact, or a feature in the system, it will show you a list of what matches and you can jump right to it.
Want to make shortcuts to your favorite feature, page, contact, saved reply, etc.? Pin an item to the bar for easier access. Click the pin icon next to each item and it will stay in your pinned items until you remove it from the pinned list. If you'd like to open an item in a new tab, click the New Tab button shown below, too.
We hope this feature helps save time in your business by allowing you to navigate the system more quickly and efficiently. Please reach out to support@GetOiling.com if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions with this new feature. Thank you!
There are two exciting updates for the GetOiling editor!
1. Button colors may now be quickly and easily changed, and links may be switched to buttons and vice versa. Now, when editing a link, click the Style icon and choose from one of your button styles and the button will change colors, or the button can be changed to a link. Watch the short video below to see this in action.
2. It's now easier to create a link that jumps to another part of the page (sometimes called "anchor links") using the page editor. First, edit the section that you want a link to jump to by clicking the section settings icon shown here:
Next, scroll down and enter a jump-to name for the section. In this example below, the name entered is chapter-1 .
Finally, go to another section on the page and then insert a link, and then enter in # plus the section's jump-to name into the URL box, as shown below. In this example, #chapter-1 is put into the URL box. Then, save your page and click on the link to test it out!
If you have any questions or feedback on these updates, please let us know at support@GetOiling.com. We hope you find these changes make your life a bit easier when working with GetOiling!
After hearing from many of you that you'd like it to be faster and easier to go right to what you want to in the GetOiling back office, we're excited to announce this new quick start feature on your GetOiling dashboard. It allows you quickly go to specific areas in the system without looking through the menu.
Most of these are links to common features in the GetOiling back office, but there are three that operate differently:
- Send Email or Text. This allows you to easily choose one or more contacts and send an email or text to them right from the dashboard.
- Send Campaign. If you want to send a campaign to one or more people, this link allows you to easily do so. This can be very useful for content creators who provide monthly newsletters in the form of a campaign - it allows you to more easily send the campaign.
- Find Contact. Type in all or a part of the name or email address of the contact you want to find right from the dashboard.
The rest of the links are based on a combination of feedback from everyone and links that are used most frequently. This panel can be collapsed by clicking the "What would you like to do today?" header.
If you have any questions or feedback, please contact us at support@GetOiling.com . Thank you!
We are super excited to announce that we have made it simpler to bring Canva designs into GetOiling. This allows you to easily create and add images or PDF designs from Canva right into GetOiling without having to open Canva separately.
It requires a separate Canva account which you can get by clicking here.
If you'd like to try it out yourself, there's a new Canva button in many places now in GetOiling.
First, inside the editor, there's a new Add Design From Canva button. This means anywhere that you can add an image, you can now open Canva and have the image go right into the editor and your image or file gallery. Below, if you click on the Insert Image button in the toolbar, there will be an Add Design from Canva button there.
Second, in places where you can select images, like under Customize My Site where you can choose the website custom share image, there now is an "Add Design From Canva" button to add images there. Here is a short video showing one example of where this button is:
Canva supports a variety of design types, and image (PNG) and PDF download options. The image size can be specified as well, but if you use a custom size, there won't be any templates available to choose from.
We hope this is a valuable addition to our ongoing commitment to help you grow your business faster and easier than ever. Please reach out to support@GetOiling.com if you have any questions. Thank you!
