Spring is here in Toronto, and we decided to roll up our sleeves and conduct our version of a "spring cleaning," releasing several requested features.
In addition to the product updates, we are also launching an interactive help Center, accessible once you log into Goodkind. You'll be able to live chat with us, find answers to many questions and read recommendations on campaigns.
Here is what's new:
A better way to manage stories
Stories are at the heart of Goodkind, and we want to make sure you get to what is important quickly.
The most significant change is in the Stories Library. We combined "Sent Stories" and Story Library into one unified Story Library. The library, too, has been refreshed.
We’ve added a red notification icon on the Stories tab when Stories require your attention. Clicking on the dropdown will show a notification icon with the number of stories waiting for your Approval.
We have also added new ways to sort and filter your Stories. You can sort them Most played, Most hearted, Least Engaging and Most Engaging. By default, they are sorted by date. You can also filter by status (Pending Approval or Approved). Lastly, you can favourite videos as well and quickly find them.
We have refreshed the search bar, which we hope will become central to how you find stories. For example, it can search by the storyteller's name and from the transcript.
All about campaigns in one place
Click on your campaign to get a complete view of your campaign details and more detailed performance stats. Email opens now track unique opens (thank you for that feedback!).
Houston, we don't have a problem to report
We pride ourselves on the reliability of the Goodkind platform, but occasionally problems do arise and we want to be transparent and ensure you know about it. So we have added a status bar on the top of your workspace, which will let you know if there is an issue you need to be aware of.
Under the hood
We have further optimized our video processing queue and captions generation process. As a result, recorded videos should show up faster on your approval queue now.
A brand new mobile app
We have given our app a complete refresh to make recording videos far more streamlined and straightforward. Storytellers can record the campaign and now add new snazzy filters (Hello Polaroid!) to make your stories pop.
Storytellers can also use the history tab to view all the recordings submitted.
Do rate us on the App Store/ Play Store if you like the app.
