We've just rolled out a brand new feature that many have been asking for - the ability to post ideas anonymously!

 

We understand that not everyone wants to create an account or reveal their identity when submitting an idea or bug report. That's why we've made it super easy for your customers to share their thoughts without any friction.

 

With this latest update, your users can now click on the "Add Idea" button and submit their ideas directly, without having to provide a name or any personal information - they can still enter their details, optionally, so they can be notified of status changes.

 

By allowing anonymous submissions, you're opening up the floor to even more voices and perspectives.

 

You can enable anonymous idea submissions from Project Settings, then click on Feedback and make sure the checkbox for this feature is enabled.

We're excited to bring you a highly requested feature to help you manage feedback more effectively. You can now make ideas private, ensuring that only admins have access to them. 🤫

 

To make an idea private, simply head over to the idea from your board or roadmap and, from the right panel, click on the "Make Private" button.

Once enabled, the post will be hidden from regular users, ensuring that only admins with the right permissions can access it. Even the person who posted the idea won't be able to access it anymore.

You can now quickly remove an idea from public view (or from users in a private project), while keeping it accessible internally for your own team (yourself and other admin users).

Posts made private are now visibly marked by an icon wherever they are visible (feedback boards, roadmap or search results). You'll see them as an admin, but not your users.

 

 

We're excited to announce a brand new feature that many of you have been asking for - the ability to add custom code to your projects! 🎉

 

With this latest update, admins can now easily include additional HTML/javascript code in FeedBear, allowing you to integrate various third-party tools and services seamlessly.

 

One popular use case for this feature is adding Google Analytics support to your projects. By simply entering the Google Analytics javascript snippet, you'll be able to monitor traffic, and gain valuable insights into how your customers are engaging with your feedback board, roadmap and individual ideas.

 

We understand that every company has unique requirements, and sometimes out-of-the-box solutions just don't cut it. That's why we wanted to empower you with the ability to customize FeedBear according to your specific needs.

You'll find this new feature under Project Settings / Custom Code - which also includes support for Custom CSS, to customize the look and feel of your project.

We are thrilled to announce our latest update that will help you save time and energy when it comes to answering new feature requests on your board.

 

As you know, answering every new idea with a thoughtful response can be time-consuming and requires a certain level of skill. With FeedBear's new feature, you can now draft replies using GPT4, which will help you streamline the process.

 

This feature can help you save time and effort by suggesting replies based on the context of the idea and the language you use in your responses.

To give it a try, just click on the "Reply using AI" button in the comments section.

We understand how time-consuming it can be to draft changelog entries or new feature announcements. 

That's why we've developed a solution that allows admins to create new changelog entries in no time, based on the content of ideas already added to a board.

 

With the help of GPT4, FeedBear can now draft changelog entries for you whenever you mark an idea as "Done", or at any time directly from the Changelog entry editor. This means that when you're ready to announce your latest feature, you can do it in just a few clicks.

Our goal is to make it easier for you to keep your customers up to date with your product's latest developments, and we hope this new feature will help you achieve that.

To give it a try, click on "Write with AI" from the changelog editor. Or notice how FeedBear drafts a new changelog entry automatically whenever you change status to "Done" for any idea on your board.

Admins can now save notes about an idea, such as links to internal documents, project tracking tools or details about customers. This will help you keep all the important information in one place, making it easier to manage feedback.

 

We are excited to announce our new Intercom app for FeedBear! You can now easily add ideas from your Intercom inbox directly into FeedBear boards.

You can also easily search and filter users and add upvotes on their behalf, all directly from an Intercom conversation.
