Let's dive in.
Stay on top of the latest Komo developments with our new changelog
Have you ever thought to yourself, “Wow! I love all the updates the team at Komo is making to their platform, but I'm finding it a little hard to stay on top of what's been released”?
Well, we have news for you.
We want to make sure you never feel that way again. Enter: The Komo Loop.
The Komo Loop is your go-to source for all the latest features, updates, fixes, and improvements being shipped in Komo!
Of course, we'll continue to share this monthly blog, but The Komo Loop will act as our always-on changelog, updated in real time with every single release.
You'll be able to view both new and historical releases, filter by relevant tags, and most importantly, add your reactions so we know exactly how you feel about each update!
Be sure to bookmark the page and keep an eye out for more updates as we move to make this accessible directly within the Komo platform.
Streamline the creation of quizzes and polls
“Good things take time.” Or so they say…
But they shouldn't have to.
Building quizzes and polls that are large and engaging can be a time-consuming and, at times, arduous process.
Not anymore.
You can now streamline the setup process by uploading questions and answers in bulk using the new Bulk Add Questions and Import from CSV tools. This significantly reduces the time and manual effort required to get these experiences up and running.
The analytics for these cards have also had a glow-up. You can now gain deeper insights into audience preferences and engagement by viewing entries ranked by the number of votes, making it easy to identify the most popular answers at a glance.
Keep your data clean and your automations cleaner
Excuse me while I get a bit nerdy.
The beauty of a tool as powerful as a workflow engine is that you should be able to 'set and forget'. Its purpose is defeated if you're forced to jump in and fix things every time there's a hiccup.
To minimize the need for manual intervention, custom error handling has been added to workflows. This gives you the power to define conditional logic that captures errors when connecting to third-party APIs, making troubleshooting easier, surfacing clearer feedback, and ultimately reducing data issues before they become a problem.
On top of this, a range of new triggers have been added to workflows. These triggers activate only for valid entries that meet specific criteria, excluding disqualified by entry rules. With these triggers in place, you can be confident that data flowing to connected platforms is 'clean', improving automation reliability and data integrity.
Scale your treasure hunts without the headaches
A great user experience (UX) can be the difference between a product that blossoms and one that bombs.
That's why a number of 'quality of life' UX improvements have been made to Treasure Hunt.
It is now much easier to deploy and distribute a Treasure Hunt activation with the introduction of bulk QR code downloads. Where previously you had to download each checkpoint QR code one by one, you can now download them all at once. This is especially powerful when you have large-scale treasure hunts that span 20 or 30 checkpoints. You can spend more time laughing at confused players trying to find checkpoint #17 and less time rage-clicking 'Download' over and over again.
To make things even smoother, the checkpoint list has been given a UX enhancement with an accordion-style sidebar. This makes it easier than ever to navigate and manage your campaign.
A Bug's Life? Not on our watch.
Someone call the pest inspectors!
March turned into a full-on bug blitz. Reliability is a key pillar of platform performance, which is why the team focused on squashing as many bugs as possible - keeping Komo as smooth, stable, and bug-free as it should be.
I won't bore you with the nitty-gritty, but you can check out the full list of 20+ fixes in The Komo Loop (remember that changelog I mentioned about 86 seconds ago?).
The best is yet to come
➡️ Our much anticipated Surveys product is quite literally just around the corner! Tied directly to engagement and powered by our unique capabilities around prizing and rewards, it's shaping up to be a very powerful and compelling product.
We're also making great progress on two more exciting features: the Vote Card and Dynamic Lists.
➡️ Vote is like a mini Reddit thread, where users can interact with and vote on content submitted by others - perfect for driving community engagement.
➡️ Dynamic Lists, on the other hand, is all about improving segmentation and marketing automation by dynamically updating contact lists when pre-defined criteria are met.
And while we'd love to spill all our secrets, we are going to keep a few cards close to our chest. Let's just say some absolutely game-changing products are dropping in the very near future.
Get excited and keep your eyes peeled!
