Video Script
Voice Messages in Chat
Our Q3 release starts with something old school that’s been making a big comeback . . . voice messages. On the go? No problem! Employees can now communicate quicker and easier, with voice messages in both one-to-one and group chats.
New User Profile Page
Next, our user profiles pages just leveled up with a brand new look and feel. Beyond the sleek, modern layout, there’s a new option for header images as well as the ability to add custom fields like personal pronouns and profile headlines, allowing employees to add more personal touches than ever before.
Content Description for Pages
We’re also adding a little more organization to pages, with the option to include content page descriptions. Help employees quickly and easily find the information they need with enhanced context that is viewable right in their search results.
Monthly View of Editorial Calendar
It’s harder than ever to be strategic. Our new monthly editorial calendar view helps you plan your content ahead of time. Improve your content planning and understand long-term patterns by viewing planned, scheduled, and published news posts in a monthly overview, which is also filterable for specific channels and spaces.
Channel Editor Access to Analytics
Our Analytics have also been upgraded. Channel editors now have access to news and content analytics, allowing them to see detailed statistics for all content published in channels that they have editor rights for.
Video Insights Improvements
Now you can more easily access video insights directly from the file manager and see if employees are actually watching your videos. Video insights are also now available for videos that you’ve used as a post header.
Improved User Registration Analytics
With our improved user registration analytics, you can now analyze registration data based on specific time intervals or user groups. The users activity time series graph now also displays the number of registered users on your platform over time.
Instant Surveys
There is also a handy new feature for our surveys to make it less complex to get a pulse check of your employees. In addition to scheduling surveys, admins can now also use our "publish now" feature to publish surveys and polls instantly.
My Files
Separate from our central file management tool, you can now view and manage only the files that you’ve uploaded using My Files. Within My Files, you easily search for, filter, and reuse files across all widgets that support uploading media files.
Staffbase News for Viva Connections
In this release, we are also adding a range of new features for our Microsoft integrations.
Up first — Staffbase News in Viva Connections. Reach your employees who are using Viva Connections and Teams with Staffbase news posts integrated seamlessly in the Viva connections dashboard.
Microsoft 365 Extensions Page
A new Microsoft 365 extensions page in the Staffbase Studio will help you discover our Microsoft 365 integrations more easily and directly download the integration packages.
Power Automate Sentiment Analysis
Now you can use AI-powered sentiment analysis to better understand your audiences across comments and news posts. With our two new Power Automate templates, you can focus your attention on comments or news posts that are most likely to be problematic.
Email Aliases
Last, but certainly not least, we’ve added the ability to send Staffbase Email via aliases such as “internalcomms@” without logging into separate accounts. Aliases also allow you to easily share sending addresses with your colleagues while maintaining seamless analytics.
