IC5 and Zapier
UncrownedGuard replied to UncrownedGuard's topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionOk, this was actually what I was looking for. I was worried that my input from Zapier would just be a "blob" of text instead of being able to be formatted. Thank you @Matt, @Randy Calvert, and @Daniel F!!

Beta 5 is alive!
I tried creating a cloud beta but I just get "Error code: EX6". A configuration or server error has occurred

IC5 and Zapier
I'm not sure if it is part of the Beta testing or if anyone has played around with it, but I am quite curious as to how Zapier is involved with IC5. I'm assuming it has not been removed, but I am at a loss on how the formatting will go now that HTML support has been dropped for the editor. I played around with the test site a bit and it does not appear to offer Header or list support on markdown nor does it seem to handle paragraphs well. Obviously, I am making huge assumptions as I do not have a Beta site running and I have no idea how Zapier will be integrated, but I was hoping for some more information.

Invision Community 5: The all-new editor
These changes look really good! I am super happy to see the sticky toolbar and the embedding will be a great addition! Plus, that means my custom Pages pages will now embed like everything else on the site. I do have a question, will the embedding be editable in the editor? Most importantly resizing things like YouTube embeds and potentially allowing users to make embedded links into squares, rectangles, etc? Also, will this hopefully fix YouTube links posted via Zapier to be auto-embedded?

Invision Community 5: Live Topic Improvements
Ya, I remember IPS.Chat. I loved it, but the per-user plan thing was kind of strange. I do feel like being able to pull features from live topics to use in other ways would greatly improve the product as I personally have little use for the package as is.

Invision Community 5: Live Topic Improvements
Would love a chat box like the one used in Live Topics, but just as an independent block we can place on a page. Otherwise is looks like a lot of nice changes!

Invision Community 5: New Live Community Features
Everything looks awesome so far! One thing that I would love to see addressed with the notifications in IC5 is a better link between the actual notification menu (the red bubble where you can see a quick list of your notifications) and the little popup on the screen you get a notification while viewing the site. Currently, if you click that popup box, you get taken to the item in question (great feature), but it does not clear out the notification in the menu bar. A minor issue, but it does lead to some redundancy in the user experience. E.G., if Matt was on when I quoted this post of his and he clicked that pop-up box on the bottom of the screen to see the quoted message, the notification tray would still show him that he has an unread quoted post even though that would no longer be true.

Invision Community 5: Quickly find the most helpful answers
I really like this feature setup! As an end-user on platforms like Reddit and those "Q&A sites", I always find myself seeing the best answer or most upvoted answer and still wanting a bit more information! This seems like a great solution for that issue for my end users now. P.S. I still hope articles are redone to look a bit nicer without 3rd party tools on a homepage. I'll beat that dead horse all day here 😅

Invision Community 5: Dark mode, accessibility, performance and mobiles!
This all looks so good! Although I'm still super excited to see how Pages and Databases will be designed and hope they have a modern feel to them with category images, a less "database feeling" record layout, and such as well!

Marketplace: The Next Steps
Between the IPS Cloud outages, the glances that I have seen look very good! I hope this project takes off as a central point for 3rd party tools was what made the marketplace great!

IPS Cloud - downtime on 21st March
Oh yes, that would actually be a great idea. I actually didn't know this was a thing 😅

IPS Cloud - downtime on 21st March
It should, but we are talking about AWS here and customers are not exactly at the top of their list. Invision staff keeping us updated on what Amazon is doing is a noble goal, but just like most admins don't know what is happening at their server's data center... IPS is kind of stuck with the rest of us.
