Clerk.io changelog clerk.io

Improvement

An important part of Clerk.io's Auto-Email revolves around Triggers that will send emails after customers engage with the webshop in a specific way.

As the Abandon Basket email has always been an important trigger, we have spent a lot of time on making sure that the platforms we integrate with, can easily communicate each visitors basket status to Clerk.io, allowing for the trigger to be sent.

In the latest versions of the below extensions, we have made several improvements that means baskets can be tracked and cleared successfully for any visitors that come to your webshop:

• Magento 1
• Magento 2
• WooCommerce
• Prestashop 1.6
• Prestashop 1.7

New

With the Spell Fix early access feature, the search function will be much more precise when searching for a part of SKUs (like 3094 or "yamaha wxa") and also when searching for foreign words that are part of product descriptions ("Halloween" in a dutch store as an example).

This is another part of a larger set of improvements that are releasing for our search function, based on your feedback!

You can already try out the new functionality by going to Settings > Features in your my.clerk.io backend and activating Spell Fix.

Fix

Improvement

As of 30 August 2021, general product improvements and bug fixes include:

Special pricing in Magento 2

Magento 2 has a functionality where users can set a mass discount on a wide scale, on a catalog or cart basis (e.g., products > $20 should now have a 20% discount).

Clerk.io can now handle this pricing function as a data update, and the updated pricing with applied rules are now reflected in your Clerk.io Search and Recommendations upon data sync.

Resolved: Error around Product attribute incorrectly rendering in the Email Campaign Template

Product attributes momentarily could not be read correctly within the main Design in the Clerk.io Email template, where products were linking to the webshop front page or resulting in a 404 error. Products once again link to the relevant product pages as expected.

New

Early Access features are now available in my.clerk.io, under "Features".

In this section, users will now have the opportunity to toggle on new Clerk.io features to use in their store. Note: features in this section are in Beta, and will be subject to change as testing and feedback is implemented.

Features currently available in this section include:

• No Stop Words: When toggled on, this feature allows you to remove "stop words" from the Clerk.io Search your webshop, should it make sense to include the words Clerk.io typically removes based on your customers' search behaviors.

• Order Scoring: Order scoring allows users to boost the impact of order history on Clerk.io Search, vs. the current balance between keywords and order history. This feature may be useful if purchase behaviors should be weighed heavily vs. keywords based on your customers' search habits.

Early Access features allow Clerk.io users to test these new features in their live stores, and the opportunity to provide Clerk.io feedback on the functionality and use cases based on their store needs.

New

Improvement

Email Campaigns can now be toggled on and off at the top-right corner, to activate or deactivate Clerk.io Email Campaigns as a group:

New

Improvement

Within Clerk.io Emails, it is now possible to schedule recurring Newsletters by week or by month, to remove the friction of manually sending out your Newsletter each time:

You still have the option to choose the day of the week as well as the hour of the day the Newsletter is sent out. This module can be found via my.clerk.io > Email > Newsletters.

Note: The recurring Newsletter interface is in Beta-- an updated version is expected in the coming weeks.
