What's New in Version 1.43 (Protagoras)

Man is the measure of all things.”

Protagoras
(BC 490 - BC 420)



Protagoras was a man that often found himself questioning truth, a pre-socratic philosopher whom Plato credits with inventing the role of a professional sophist. Many great philosophers built on his work, resulting in the literary expansion on the idea of how man is the source of truth for measuring all things.

Influenced by Protagoras’s contemplations, we understand that usability is ultimately not about technology; it’s about people, and how they understand and use things. It’s the fine line that defines the difference between making a simple product and making a product simple. That’s exactly why we constantly set out our interface to capitalize on tweaks and enhancements -little or large as they may be- with a user-centered experience in mind. We believe that this is the defining metric for usability and the indisputable single source of truth for value creation.

Let’s take a look at some of our v1.43 updates:

PLATFORM UPDATES

  • Got a special occasion coming up and concerned you might miss sending that special someone a treat to their favorite online magazine? You can now schedule gifts ahead of time! You can choose the specific date to trigger sending the gift on, and even customize your very own gift message which will be included in the email address sent on that date. This can be done either from the website interface or directly through the platform. In case you're using Pelcro's Mailchimp integration, we've also added a new event notification that leverages this feature. (Because the greatest gifts are not wrapped in paper, but in love).

  • From the List builder, you can now view all the list details for lists which you’ll create, including all of the filters that were applied to said lists, after it has been created. This helps you ensure that you have applied the right filters to the list, or retrieve this information later on for future lists without having to start from scratch

  • We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: When it comes to the online experience, every. second. counts. That’s why we continue to make small tweaks here and there to ensure that your Pelcro experience is both valuable and seamless, among which:
    • When working with country fields in any relevant flow (for example when configuring products or plans), you now have the option to select or deselect all countries in a single click, rather than having to enter them one country at a time.
