Okay. Alright. And let's dive into 33 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.720 my favorite part of the webinar, the BD Lab updates. We had to restrain ourselves today. 34 00:02:29.720 --> 00:02:31.740 There were a lot more updates to share. 35 00:02:32.055 --> 00:02:37.515 So I just wanted to share and list a few that were kind of noteworthy and high impact for us. 36 00:02:37.575 --> 00:02:46.795 A lot of these are quality of life features that will make navigating the admin and other areas a bit easier, and we can start at the top of the list there, the one that says notes. 37 00:02:47.379 --> 00:02:54.440 In the BD admin, you can leave internal notes for a member, however, it wasn't easy to see them prior to this update. 38 00:02:54.500 --> 00:03:00.360 Let me show you guys where you can leave an internal note, and where you can view them now more easily in the admin area. 39 00:03:01.025 --> 00:03:04.165 So here we are in the admin area, and we'll go to search members, 40 00:03:04.705 --> 00:03:08.805 and from here, I did leave a note for a sample member named Lisa. 41 00:03:09.345 --> 00:03:09.745 All right. 42 00:03:09.745 --> 00:03:21.400 So I'll show you where you can leave a note, but right here on this page, if you see a black thumbtack icon, you can hover over that, and you will see an internal note based on what you've written for this member. 43 00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:25.960 Let me go ahead and click the quick quick edit, this is where you would normally, 44 00:03:26.660 --> 00:03:31.055 leave the note and see the notes. So here's the note that we left for this member. 45 00:03:31.355 --> 00:03:36.235 So prior to this update, you would you would have to click the pop up every time just to read that note. 46 00:03:36.235 --> 00:03:37.375 And, of course, here, 47 00:03:37.675 --> 00:03:40.815 we can edit the note, and add things to it. 48 00:03:41.194 --> 00:03:47.130 I'll just save the changes there. So that's one, area here, and let me close out of this box here. 49 00:03:47.350 --> 00:03:55.270 And the other one is if we click into the member's detail page in the admin area, we now see this little alert box here. 50 00:03:55.270 --> 00:03:59.095 It is the internal note that we left, and we can see the my saved changes here. 51 00:03:59.095 --> 00:04:00.295 We can edit the notes. 52 00:04:00.295 --> 00:04:03.895 And, again, you can click edit here, and you'll basically get the same pop up. 53 00:04:04.055 --> 00:04:07.015 But this way, if your staff is looking or working at a mem 54 00:04:07.655 --> 00:04:12.555 you can more quickly easily have a pulse on if you've left any internal notes for this member, 55 00:04:13.070 --> 00:04:14.750 and things like that. Okay. 56 00:04:14.750 --> 00:04:21.649 Also in the realm, this next one here that says verify in the realm of kinda making visual cues in the admin area. 57 00:04:21.870 --> 00:04:34.425 If you've identified a member as a verified member on your site, Prior to this, you really couldn't see them in the admin area, but now you have two ways to see members you've marked as verified in the admin area. 58 00:04:34.805 --> 00:04:39.625 And really just verified is a status that you can give to kind of special members, 59 00:04:40.005 --> 00:04:41.145 and things like that. 60 00:04:41.460 --> 00:04:49.320 So there's two things, one is you can search for verified members, you in the filters here, there's verified status, so verified or unverified, 61 00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:53.160 and we can search them this way, and I'll go ahead and search. 62 00:04:53.685 --> 00:04:58.725 Okay. And the second area is now there is a green check mark here. 63 00:04:58.725 --> 00:05:08.520 It's in line with the rest of their social media links if they have any, but if you now see a green check mark here, this this does represent that this is a verified member on your site. 64 00:05:08.599 --> 00:05:15.639 And being a verified member is something manual the admin of the website does, or if you're doing it automated through the API and such. 65 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:20.220 So there are two new buttons here, the internal note and the verified member. 66 00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:23.000 And if you wanna see where you can manually change someone, 67 00:05:23.525 --> 00:05:26.505 to a verified member status, maybe they shared their business, 68 00:05:27.125 --> 00:05:29.445 license with you or whatever it is for your industry, 69 00:05:29.925 --> 00:05:33.225 you can click on the quick edit pop up under listing settings, 70 00:05:33.685 --> 00:05:35.685 verified member, yes or no. 71 00:05:35.685 --> 00:05:41.700 So, again, this is something manual the admin does, and maybe your members are giving you more information to validate their profiles. 72 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.760 That's kinda like the blue check mark on Twitter almost in a way. Alright. 73 00:05:45.760 --> 00:05:47.860 Let's keep things moving here. 74 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.715 Also on the search members page in the admin, now you can filter and search by sub subcategory. 75 00:05:55.095 --> 00:05:59.995 You can find your members by sub subcategory, and there is an additional advantage to that. 76 00:06:00.295 --> 00:06:09.060 Prior to this update, you were able to search members by their top level category, and this is in reference to the admin area, their sublevel category, 77 00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:11.439 and then it kinda stopped right there. 78 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:16.259 We we didn't we didn't have that third level, which is what BD supports is that sub sublevel category. 79 00:06:16.595 --> 00:06:23.335 But now you can so if we wanna search all members, I don't know if there's any members that do landscaping, residential, front yard, 80 00:06:23.715 --> 00:06:28.135 but now you can search members, and there is one person's famous Lisa here. 81 00:06:28.435 --> 00:06:36.340 And the benefit of this is not only can you do a search here, but under the list actions, we can now create a smart list 82 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.100 of the sub sub level members. So we can say, 83 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.300 front yard, 84 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:42.740 landscape 85 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:43.860 members, 86 00:06:44.335 --> 00:06:53.215 And anything else that we have searched here, and then, of course, we can market to this list specifically if we wanted to send them an email or segment them for any other, 87 00:06:53.615 --> 00:06:54.754 purposes and reasons. 88 00:06:55.534 --> 00:06:58.675 So this third filter is here now as well. 89 00:06:59.039 --> 00:06:59.280 Okay. 90 00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:04.400 Moving down the list, this also this next one is related to the search members page in the admin. 91 00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:08.819 This one was pretty requested, and, we kinda dragged our feet with it, but now it is released. 92 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.564 The ability to edit a member's join date on your site. 93 00:07:12.564 --> 00:07:15.465 So the join date is the date specified in the database, 94 00:07:16.004 --> 00:07:18.425 when a member has joined your site. 95 00:07:18.724 --> 00:07:22.164 If you're importing members, you may have forgotten to add the join date. 96 00:07:22.324 --> 00:07:31.360 That's pretty much the tickets that we got from the in in the support department, But now you can change one member's join date or bulk update member's join date. 97 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:32.640 Let me show you where that is. 98 00:07:32.640 --> 00:07:39.665 So we can see Lisa here, her join date let me zoom in just a little bit. Is 04/12/2022. 99 00:07:39.665 --> 00:07:42.725 Let's say we wanted to change her join date to yesterday. 100 00:07:43.025 --> 00:07:44.805 So there's two ways we can do this. 101 00:07:45.425 --> 00:07:52.945 If we wanna do bulk, we can use the checkbox here if there were multiple members, and we can do the bulk actions and update join date. 102 00:07:52.945 --> 00:07:53.925 We'll hit apply. 103 00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:59.720 We'll get a pop up, and we can set the join date to yesterday. So let's just hit apply, 104 00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:01.080 and hit continue. 105 00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:07.699 And let's see what happens here. So we can see now the join date is 05/16/2023. 106 00:08:07.699 --> 00:08:10.645 So So that's how you can do bulk actions and select multiple members. 107 00:08:10.645 --> 00:08:17.705 If you wanna just update an individual member, if you have the member right here, you can do that, or you can hit the quick edit pop up. 108 00:08:17.845 --> 00:08:20.425 And from here, if we scroll down just a bit, 109 00:08:20.970 --> 00:08:27.050 under their contact information, we can change their join date. Let's set it to 05/01/2023, 110 00:08:27.050 --> 00:08:29.310 and if you want to adjust the time, 111 00:08:29.690 --> 00:08:32.745 you can do that to AM PM, and so on. 112 00:08:33.225 --> 00:08:38.684 And let's save the changes here. And if we close this and refresh the page, we should see, 113 00:08:39.225 --> 00:08:40.904 05/01/2023 114 00:08:40.904 --> 00:08:41.225 here. 115 00:08:41.225 --> 00:08:45.740 So that is available to you now, if you need to change the members join date for whatever reason. 116 00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:50.200 Prior to that, we were asking you to go into the SQL database and do all this complicated stuff. 117 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.760 So this should make things a bit easier. Alright. 118 00:08:52.760 --> 00:08:59.180 This next one is for the designers out there looking to kind of update their homepage content. 119 00:08:59.694 --> 00:09:01.475 There are now two new widgets 120 00:09:01.935 --> 00:09:07.774 that render above the home page hero search module, and below the home page hero search module. 121 00:09:07.774 --> 00:09:09.555 I'll show you what that is in a moment. 122 00:09:09.694 --> 00:09:13.875 The reason we added these widgets, they are empty widgets, there's nothing in them to start, 123 00:09:14.190 --> 00:09:21.330 is if you wanted to add content above and below the home page search module, you would have to edit the complicated home page widget. 124 00:09:21.710 --> 00:09:25.150 This makes it a whole lot easier, and I'll just quickly show you how. 125 00:09:25.310 --> 00:09:32.755 Again, this is more for the designers out there, even novice or beginner people, but you do need to know how to add a little bit of code to the widgets. 126 00:09:32.775 --> 00:09:33.275 So, 127 00:09:33.615 --> 00:09:36.355 I do have a picture here of what I'm referring to, so, 128 00:09:36.735 --> 00:09:44.835 we are all familiar with, the home page search module, this is it kinda here, but now you have an empty widget so you can add content 129 00:09:45.270 --> 00:09:48.150 above it, whatever you wanna add, and below it. 130 00:09:48.150 --> 00:09:53.850 So in this example of this screenshot we posted in the Facebook group, we put a call to action to join the site, 131 00:09:54.310 --> 00:10:00.595 above it, and then below it we put a tag cloud of popular searches, and a banner advertisement 132 00:10:01.055 --> 00:10:04.654 as well. So let me just show you guys where you would find these. 133 00:10:04.654 --> 00:10:06.675 We'll go to the site with visit website, 134 00:10:07.214 --> 00:10:11.154 and when we're here, we can do show widgets, 135 00:10:11.860 --> 00:10:15.060 and we'll see all the widgets that this page is comprised of. 136 00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:20.260 So here we we can see this is the widgets here, bootstrap through home page search, extra content above. 137 00:10:20.260 --> 00:10:24.040 We can see there's nothing in this widget. It's kind of just rendering a blank 138 00:10:24.740 --> 00:10:27.480 thing here, and then also content below. 139 00:10:27.995 --> 00:10:29.935 I'm gonna go ahead and just customize 140 00:10:30.475 --> 00:10:32.654 one of these. I'll do the one below, actually. 141 00:10:33.274 --> 00:10:35.214 We'll customize it for the site. 142 00:10:35.675 --> 00:10:36.175 And 143 00:10:36.555 --> 00:10:38.015 you know what? I'll just put, 144 00:10:38.555 --> 00:10:40.735 Jason is writing text. 145 00:10:41.115 --> 00:10:55.960 Now again, I did show the example of where you can decorate it nicely with images, tag clouds, and we'll cover it in another webinar, and provide you with the simple code on how to take advantage of these slots, because as we can see, they are high value, they're on the home page, and they do 146 00:10:56.385 --> 00:11:07.685 encompass the main call to action here which is to search, but then if we can tastefully add other calls to action around it, it could increase engagement when users do land on our home page. 147 00:11:07.825 --> 00:11:11.125 So let's get rid of the search widgets mode, hide widgets. 148 00:11:11.520 --> 00:11:27.454 Now the text is gonna be black and the background is black here let's see, yep, we could see it here Jason is writing text, so we can see that it is rendering here, and again just with a bit of correct coding there we can include some content directly above and below this search module. 149 00:11:28.074 --> 00:11:32.714 And last but not least, we have made an update to Zapier. This was a pretty big release. 150 00:11:32.714 --> 00:11:38.600 Now you can import posts, events, articles, etcetera, from feeds and third party sources. 151 00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:44.140 If you know how to use the BD API directly, you can use that as well, but Zapier makes it super easy. 152 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:49.820 We will cover that in another webinar as well, but let me dive in and quickly show you what this looks like. 153 00:11:50.145 --> 00:11:51.285 If you're in Zapier, 154 00:11:51.665 --> 00:11:55.525 in this case you if you have an RSS feed from another blog or source, 155 00:11:55.905 --> 00:12:00.085 you can use that as the trigger, or Google Sheets or whatever it might may be. 156 00:12:01.105 --> 00:12:07.110 And what we can do, let me show you. I'll delete this and do it from a little bit from scratch here. 157 00:12:07.110 --> 00:12:10.810 So we're gonna add an action. We can search brilliant directories 158 00:12:11.190 --> 00:12:11.930 in Zapier. 159 00:12:12.550 --> 00:12:15.290 And the event is going to be create post. 160 00:12:15.954 --> 00:12:22.055 And we'll just continue. You choose the b d account you want to sync it up with, and here it is. So, 161 00:12:22.435 --> 00:12:26.135 from here, it takes the data from the RSS feed, and you can choose, 162 00:12:26.595 --> 00:12:28.935 the type of post you wanna add to your site. 163 00:12:29.370 --> 00:12:34.190 And this basically pulls from your website. It knows the post types you have, so if you want to, 164 00:12:34.650 --> 00:12:38.750 add a community article, a job listing, or an event, you can do so. 165 00:12:39.290 --> 00:12:45.070 And what's cool about this is when you choose a photo album type of post, and I'll do the photo album here, 166 00:12:45.584 --> 00:12:51.185 These update, and you can add a comma separated list of what the images should be. 167 00:12:51.185 --> 00:12:59.845 So if you wanna add, like, 20 images of a property listing, as long as those images are separated with a comma, you can basically create your entire photo album 168 00:13:00.209 --> 00:13:04.050 based on that. And this we've tested it out with a few feeds. It looks really good. 169 00:13:04.050 --> 00:13:06.149 And, again, this will be another webinar topic. 170 00:13:07.009 --> 00:13:10.389 But you can just follow the the steps, the post type, 171 00:13:10.769 --> 00:13:17.825 the the ID that the member who would be the author of the post will be, the post status, should this be set as published or draft, 172 00:13:18.525 --> 00:13:24.305 the title of the post, and we pull all this stuff from the feed or third party source that is the trigger. 173 00:13:24.605 --> 00:13:32.080 So this is now available, and we are excited to talk about this more in future webinars because it's gonna allow you to populate your sites 174 00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:37.280 very, very quickly. All right, coming soon, and I know that was a handful so far. 175 00:13:37.580 --> 00:13:41.020 Coming soon also highly requested been requested for years. 176 00:13:41.420 --> 00:13:51.885 And again, it was there was just a hurdle doing this because there were a few roadblocks, but it is gonna be available either, by the end of this week, most realistically by the end of next week. 177 00:13:51.945 --> 00:13:54.045 The ability to use coupon codes 178 00:13:54.585 --> 00:13:59.510 for one off purchases, and let me show you exactly what that's going to look like. 179 00:13:59.510 --> 00:14:02.410 Just give me a quick moment to get that queued up for us, 180 00:14:02.790 --> 00:14:04.490 and I can show you an example. 181 00:14:04.790 --> 00:14:13.205 Currently, coupon codes that you create on your site with the easy coupon codes add on, they can only be used for member sign ups and member upgrades. 182 00:14:13.205 --> 00:14:23.385 But there are use cases when the request was, we want coupon codes when our users purchase leads, or we've created a digital product, and we wanna create a coupon code, 183 00:14:23.845 --> 00:14:25.464 for that digital product. 184 00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:28.100 So here I can show you now, 185 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:32.580 this is a test that doesn't display like this right now. But if we go to coupon codes, 186 00:14:33.040 --> 00:14:36.580 and if we go to a new code, once this update is released, 187 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:41.355 we kind of have a similar layout here at the top you choose like the type of discount, 188 00:14:41.895 --> 00:14:43.115 maximum uses, 189 00:14:44.215 --> 00:14:47.595 the start date and expiration date, but here's where the magic happens. 190 00:14:48.135 --> 00:14:52.795 What can this code be used for? So prior to this, it was just sign ups and upgrades, 191 00:14:53.335 --> 00:14:55.835 but now you can choose pay per post, 192 00:14:56.160 --> 00:15:03.620 and based on the post type, you can choose which membership plans can use the coupon code, so maybe you're charging $20 193 00:15:03.839 --> 00:15:13.505 to post the classified listing on your site, and you wanna give your premium members a 50% off coupon code that they can use every time they wanna publish a classified, 194 00:15:14.045 --> 00:15:16.465 and it would drop their price to $10. 195 00:15:17.165 --> 00:15:22.625 Or if you have a digital product, Jason's Fast Track ebook or self successful ebook, 196 00:15:23.325 --> 00:15:32.589 these are this is a list of the digital products you've created on your site, You can create a coupon code specifically for this, and then you can choose if you wanted to, 197 00:15:33.050 --> 00:15:37.629 specific membership plans who can use the coupon code and redeem it for the discount. 198 00:15:38.170 --> 00:15:46.105 If you leave all unchecked, then it will work for everyone, or you can then check and limit it to specified users on your site. 199 00:15:46.105 --> 00:15:49.065 So this is a really good example. Ryan has brought this up in the past. 200 00:15:49.065 --> 00:15:55.485 He's wanted to give, digit access to digital products to some members, and and you wanted to give it to them for free. 201 00:15:55.800 --> 00:16:02.840 Now you can give those members, those premium members based on their membership plan, a promo code to use on the site. 202 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:11.055 Or you can give a custom promo code and limit the maximum uses to one, so you can just give it to one member, and they'll be able to use it. 203 00:16:11.375 --> 00:16:12.755 Same thing with lead purchases, 204 00:16:13.214 --> 00:16:18.274 members can purchase leads on your site. So maybe a perk of being a premium plan member, 205 00:16:18.575 --> 00:16:20.495 is they get access to a promo code. 206 00:16:20.495 --> 00:16:26.915 So instead of buying leads for $20, they get a 50 off promo code, and they're buying leads from your site for half price. 207 00:16:27.270 --> 00:16:36.810 So these are just a few updates, and again, we're looking to release this probably by the end of next week to be more realistic, just to make sure that we've QA'd everything properly for you guys. 208 00:16:37.190 --> 00:16:44.165 Next one coming soon on the list is proration the when members change their plans right now, they just pay the fresh price. 209 00:16:44.165 --> 00:16:53.704 So if you just signed up for a monthly plan and they realize that they wanna upgrade and for a yearly plan, but they've already paid $20, they gotta pay the full price to change their plan. 210 00:16:54.009 --> 00:17:07.069 This will be a setting that you can turn on or off for your site, it's gonna start in the disabled mode, so the way it works right now will continue to work, but once this is released, it works with the member credits add on because it adds or 211 00:17:07.494 --> 00:17:11.434 it applies or adds credits to their site depending on the proration amount. 212 00:17:11.815 --> 00:17:16.075 But let me show you a quick example of what this will look like once it's released. 213 00:17:16.534 --> 00:17:18.395 I think I have an example here. 214 00:17:18.775 --> 00:17:19.200 Perfect. 215 00:17:19.679 --> 00:17:28.899 So here's a member, and they click on change membership plan, they just recently signed up, and they want to change their plan, and we'll go ahead and continue here. 216 00:17:29.120 --> 00:17:32.500 So they've just paid a hundred and $70 217 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.925 for a previous plan they signed up with, and it's the same day they signed up. 218 00:17:35.925 --> 00:17:40.665 So they wanna change to membership plan two, and the annual plan is a hundred bucks. 219 00:17:40.805 --> 00:17:42.565 So they have a hundred $70 220 00:17:42.565 --> 00:17:45.385 worth of prorated time left on their current plan. 221 00:17:45.850 --> 00:17:50.429 A hundred of that can be used today, and this is where the member credit add on is required. 222 00:17:50.730 --> 00:17:55.470 The remaining 70 will be added to their account as credit for future 223 00:17:55.850 --> 00:17:56.350 payments. 224 00:17:56.970 --> 00:17:59.309 If we can even throw in a promo code here, 225 00:17:59.625 --> 00:18:07.245 and what I like about this the order summary looks really nice and pro here, when they're checking out, and it shows that they have a prorated discount, 226 00:18:07.545 --> 00:18:10.905 we can see the promo code is, saves 10%, 227 00:18:10.905 --> 00:18:11.645 ten bucks, 228 00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:19.020 and then also shows the recurring amount, so due today is gonna be $0, but it lets them know that the recurring amount will be $90. 229 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:26.940 So proration is coming soon, and again, this will be something you can turn on for your site, it'll start in the disabled mode once it's released. 230 00:18:27.394 --> 00:18:32.774 And lastly, well, not lastly, we are gonna be working on a better UI for newsletters. 231 00:18:32.914 --> 00:18:35.154 It's going to provide you with better stats. 232 00:18:35.154 --> 00:18:41.815 So if you wanna see who opened your newsletter that you sent, you'll be able to click up a button, and you'll see a pop up with all those emails 233 00:18:42.320 --> 00:18:45.940 or who didn't open your email, and then you'll be able to create a smart list 234 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:50.340 from that segmented group of users and do what you want with that smart list. 235 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:55.875 In addition to that, tons of speed, security, and quality of life features coming down the line. 236 00:18:56.115 --> 00:19:04.375 Before we move on, does anybody have any comments or questions about these features that, have recently been released or coming down the line? 237 00:19:04.995 --> 00:19:05.795 Any words, 238 00:19:06.115 --> 00:19:11.310 or questions are helpful. Brian b's got a question here. How you doing, Brian? Pretty good. And you? 239 00:19:11.310 --> 00:19:13.730 Pretty good. How's it going? Thanks for joining the webinar. 240 00:19:14.030 --> 00:19:15.010 Yeah. Thank you. 241 00:19:15.630 --> 00:19:21.090 I noticed on the, coupons where you guys were dealing with, like, digital products and stuff like that. 242 00:19:22.110 --> 00:19:23.330 I do think a 243 00:19:23.785 --> 00:19:31.405 really good thing would be to, like, say you had Jason's book number one and Jason's book number two, or maybe you wanted to purchase 244 00:19:31.945 --> 00:19:32.445 two 245 00:19:32.745 --> 00:19:38.240 of Jason's book number one. Do you do you understand what I'm saying? Like, maybe add a quantity 246 00:19:38.620 --> 00:19:41.360 to be able to purchase, like, so say somebody's 247 00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:44.300 selling tickets. Right? And they got four people wanna go. 248 00:19:44.300 --> 00:19:46.400 They wanna put them all on that same transaction. 249 00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:52.445 No. That's a fantastic suggestion. There's two things that I want to do with digital products. 250 00:19:52.445 --> 00:19:58.545 That's actually one of them is ability to add a quantity count when they're checking out, which would update the invoice 251 00:19:59.485 --> 00:20:05.585 Yep. With with a line item. So instead of, like, one ticket, it would be four in the the line item. 252 00:20:05.690 --> 00:20:09.470 That's not too difficult to do. I would I would guess we're probably 253 00:20:10.410 --> 00:20:15.950 sixty to six two months out from that, based on some things that we have in our pipeline right now. 254 00:20:16.090 --> 00:20:23.425 The other thing that I'd wanna do is and this might be more of a wish list, is the ability to have an additional recurring model 255 00:20:23.885 --> 00:20:25.425 pinned to a digital product. 256 00:20:25.725 --> 00:20:31.905 So it could be a subscription of, like, monthly or yearly just like a membership plan, but it would be pinned to 257 00:20:32.650 --> 00:20:36.750 to access for that digital product instead of the membership plan of the website. 258 00:20:37.290 --> 00:20:38.010 But Yeah. 259 00:20:38.010 --> 00:20:47.815 What what I would really like to see is, like, say say you have, like, two different concerts you wanna go to, and you wanna buy them both, like, at the same time 260 00:20:48.195 --> 00:20:54.695 instead of, like, doing it on separate transactions, right, as line items. Does that make sense? 261 00:20:54.915 --> 00:20:58.800 Yeah. Yeah. That that'll be like a basket shopping cart functionality at that point. 262 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:00.720 So definitely something to explore. 263 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.720 I think the quantity would be the low hanging fruit to start, and then we can expand from there. 264 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:08.980 But I think, like, with those three things, shopping cart, recurring, and quantity, 265 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.400 that would that would just make the digital product so much more valuable. 266 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:16.865 So I'm with you with that. Yeah. I definitely agree on that. But that's just my, 267 00:21:17.585 --> 00:21:22.165 2ยข. Yeah. I agree with you fully. Thank you for that, Brian. Cool. Thank you. Cheers. 268 00:21:22.305 --> 00:21:25.745 Good stuff there from Brian. See if we got a couple more hands up here. 269 00:21:26.065 --> 00:21:29.669 Steven's got his hand up. Let me grab you here, Steven. Hey. Can you hear me? Yeah. 270 00:21:29.669 --> 00:21:31.289 How are you doing? Where are you calling in from? 271 00:21:31.750 --> 00:21:33.210 I'm actually calling from, 272 00:21:34.070 --> 00:21:39.510 Washington D Washington DC area. Okay. Great. Great. And what's your comment for us here? Yeah. 273 00:21:39.510 --> 00:21:40.785 The comment is, 274 00:21:42.225 --> 00:21:42.725 Zapier. 275 00:21:43.985 --> 00:21:44.725 That's great. 276 00:21:45.905 --> 00:21:50.065 Is that does that also apply to Pabbly, or will it apply to Pabbly, do you think? Yeah. 277 00:21:50.065 --> 00:21:52.405 So we're in chats with the Pabbly dev team. 278 00:21:52.705 --> 00:21:55.365 So the model that we're doing is we're pushing it in Zapier, 279 00:21:55.825 --> 00:21:58.320 and Pabbly's team is amazing, by the way. 280 00:21:58.320 --> 00:22:04.320 And then once it's in a good place, we're passing the data to Pabbly, and their team is gonna implement it in Pabbly. 281 00:22:04.320 --> 00:22:08.020 So, actually, this week, I'm gonna email them and let them know that this is now 282 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:10.515 in the place that it's in, and they're gonna kinda 283 00:22:11.315 --> 00:22:13.015 for the for the post importing. 284 00:22:13.475 --> 00:22:16.615 Okay. Great. And and not to give any pressure, but just ballpark, 285 00:22:17.795 --> 00:22:20.675 how long does that normally take, do you think, in terms of, like, to enter here to launch that? 286 00:22:20.675 --> 00:22:21.475 Is that, like, a year? 287 00:22:21.475 --> 00:22:25.900 Is that, like, I'm not holding you to anything, but just Oh, like a probably a week. Oh, week. Yeah. 288 00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:29.100 Yeah. Yeah. Like, yeah. I I have, like, a direct email with their with their dev team. 289 00:22:29.100 --> 00:22:32.380 We we have a direct access because we're in their library, and they're very responsive. 290 00:22:32.380 --> 00:22:34.700 I gotta give my hats off to the to the Pavly team there. 291 00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:38.140 So they're they're just as hungry for it as as we are and excited for it. So, 292 00:22:38.965 --> 00:22:40.804 we're just gonna email them in the next day or two. 293 00:22:40.804 --> 00:22:49.544 We're gonna do final tests on our end, and then they're usually quick, like, within a week, maybe two weeks to get it into the Pablo to get the create post action in the Pabbly, 294 00:22:50.245 --> 00:22:50.745 workflow. 295 00:22:51.205 --> 00:22:55.180 Interesting. Okay. Alright. Great. Thank you. Alright. You got it. Yeah. Good question there. 296 00:22:55.180 --> 00:23:00.780 Pablo is we I think we demoed David, we demoed Pablo in the previous webinar. Right? Yeah. 297 00:23:00.780 --> 00:23:07.840 We've shown, how to use some Pablo workflows in a couple previous webinars, but the majority of the focus has been showing how to do it through Zapier. 298 00:23:08.255 --> 00:23:08.415 Yes. 299 00:23:08.415 --> 00:23:14.815 It's it's I mean, Zapier or Pabbly, whatever you're more comfortable with, but, when there's competition, it's always good for the consumers. 300 00:23:14.815 --> 00:23:18.995 That's that's the thing at the end of the day. So it's good to see two quality companies out there. 301 00:23:19.455 --> 00:23:20.655 Alright, guys. With that, 302 00:23:21.055 --> 00:23:22.880 we're gonna just shift focus. 303 00:23:23.260 --> 00:23:27.660 We don't really have a tip of the week, but we did post something in the Facebook group. 304 00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:29.360 We have a chat GPT 305 00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:30.720 content generator, 306 00:23:31.500 --> 00:23:32.400 coming soon. 307 00:23:32.620 --> 00:23:39.275 So we just kinda wanted to preview that for you guys, and then we'll move on to the, the q and a section. 308 00:23:39.275 --> 00:23:44.095 But just give me a quick moment, and I'll get, my demo fired up here. 309 00:23:44.315 --> 00:23:53.330 But, David, if you wanna just kinda explain just a little bit of what this, add on is going to allow users to do both in the front end and in the admin area? 310 00:23:53.630 --> 00:23:58.850 Yeah. Absolutely. So we've shown chat g p t here and there a little bit in a couple previous 311 00:23:59.310 --> 00:23:59.810 webinars. 312 00:23:59.870 --> 00:24:12.865 Just showing, some really simple but really beneficial use cases of it and how it can really streamline your workflows and help you save a bunch of time in terms of, you know, generating content, emails, whatever it may be. 313 00:24:13.164 --> 00:24:15.664 So this makes it even easier 314 00:24:16.125 --> 00:24:18.144 by actually integrating ChatGPT 315 00:24:19.020 --> 00:24:20.720 into Brilliant Directories. 316 00:24:21.180 --> 00:24:24.000 So you would be able it basically integrates into the Phruela 317 00:24:24.300 --> 00:24:28.080 text editor. So if you or if you want to give this feature, 318 00:24:28.620 --> 00:24:30.640 make it available to your members as well. 319 00:24:30.940 --> 00:24:33.200 If you're publishing a piece of content 320 00:24:33.595 --> 00:24:42.175 and you wanna get one, you know, put out real quickly, you don't have time to write it yourself, or maybe you need a couple more talking points to place in your article, 321 00:24:42.475 --> 00:24:47.295 you can type out a prompt right into that text editor, highlight it, click a button, 322 00:24:47.779 --> 00:24:48.919 and through 323 00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:50.039 the integration 324 00:24:50.419 --> 00:24:51.080 of ChatGPT, 325 00:24:51.940 --> 00:24:54.440 it'll pop out an output from ChatGPT 326 00:24:54.820 --> 00:24:57.539 based on that, piece of text that you highlighted. 327 00:24:57.539 --> 00:25:01.240 So, you know, you could type into the Cruella text editor, 328 00:25:01.700 --> 00:25:03.240 write three bullet points 329 00:25:03.695 --> 00:25:04.195 for, 330 00:25:04.495 --> 00:25:05.715 you know, best practices 331 00:25:06.415 --> 00:25:07.075 when writing 332 00:25:07.375 --> 00:25:10.275 an email, and it'll pop out that output. 333 00:25:10.655 --> 00:25:12.115 You could also do it when 334 00:25:12.415 --> 00:25:14.675 editing or creating new email templates. 335 00:25:15.215 --> 00:25:17.440 It's really gonna be a a versatile, 336 00:25:17.820 --> 00:25:23.040 add on here and one that should be super useful. So here we could see it popping out a a response. 337 00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:26.000 I think well well well said, David. 338 00:25:26.060 --> 00:25:37.515 So what we've done by a show of hands, those of you who are attending today, who has used or messed around with chat GPT or actively uses chat GPT now to kinda help you with 339 00:25:37.895 --> 00:25:39.595 massage content, we'll say? 340 00:25:40.294 --> 00:25:40.794 Stevens, 341 00:25:41.095 --> 00:25:42.794 to Stevens, Vincent, Teresa. 342 00:25:43.450 --> 00:25:45.850 Okay. I'm not gonna joke. Like, 90% 343 00:25:45.850 --> 00:25:51.230 of everyone's hands just went up. So that's that's great. I actually like using the OpenAI 344 00:25:51.530 --> 00:25:55.470 interface because it kinda puts things in paragraph mode and things like that. 345 00:25:55.684 --> 00:25:59.145 I'll go ahead and lower everyone's hands here. That's that's great to see. So, 346 00:25:59.525 --> 00:26:02.985 I think this is pretty self explanatory. And, we did post 347 00:26:03.525 --> 00:26:05.625 a video in the Facebook group. 348 00:26:05.845 --> 00:26:12.929 What's cool about this is you're gonna be able to choose which Fruella editors get the chat GPT icon when you have the add on. 349 00:26:12.929 --> 00:26:13.429 So 350 00:26:13.889 --> 00:26:16.950 if you just want it to be for your blog articles, you can. 351 00:26:17.090 --> 00:26:24.355 Or if it's the for well editors that your members have access to, you could make the toolbar option available to them as well. 352 00:26:24.895 --> 00:26:28.275 But some really cool things here, if if you're stuck on ideas, 353 00:26:28.735 --> 00:26:37.395 we're gonna create some prompts that you can quickly strum up some articles based if you're on a a local directory website or if you're industry or niche focused, 354 00:26:37.919 --> 00:26:46.899 but basically these articles are great as a starting point if you have writer's block or if you're looking to enhance something you've already written with some some deeper points. 355 00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:54.125 So let's, let's just look at a few things that we can put as a prompt here, and I'll go ahead and and remove this. 356 00:26:54.345 --> 00:26:55.485 So write article 357 00:26:56.025 --> 00:26:56.525 about 358 00:26:56.905 --> 00:26:57.965 10 best 359 00:26:58.345 --> 00:26:58.845 Chinese 360 00:27:00.425 --> 00:27:01.005 food restaurants, 361 00:27:01.305 --> 00:27:02.525 excuse my spelling, 362 00:27:02.985 --> 00:27:03.645 to eat 363 00:27:04.265 --> 00:27:05.885 in San Francisco. 364 00:27:06.985 --> 00:27:11.330 Horrible spelling. I don't know if the Internet is helping us or hurting us at this point. 365 00:27:11.789 --> 00:27:15.090 So we'll just even do it with the misspelling there, and we'll hit this. 366 00:27:15.549 --> 00:27:17.169 This takes a second to prompt. 367 00:27:17.470 --> 00:27:21.009 And what's also really cool about this, you can write intros to emails. 368 00:27:21.295 --> 00:27:23.155 You can have it write your welcome emails. 369 00:27:23.215 --> 00:27:26.275 Let's see if this is getting stuck or if it's gonna there we go. 370 00:27:26.735 --> 00:27:29.055 It gives you a sizable amount of content. 371 00:27:29.055 --> 00:27:33.775 I think it does limit the content through the interface here. So we tried a few ways. 372 00:27:33.775 --> 00:27:35.730 It only spits out plain text. 373 00:27:35.809 --> 00:27:41.830 So if you just take a minute to parse through it, it actually forces you to read it just a bit, which is healthy, but, 374 00:27:42.370 --> 00:27:47.990 you can just quickly parse through it. We can see here we have a list of Chinese restaurants here, 375 00:27:48.465 --> 00:27:53.525 And I'll show you another example of something you can do. We did show this in the video here. 376 00:27:53.905 --> 00:27:55.845 And here we see in conclusion. 377 00:27:55.905 --> 00:28:00.065 So if you needed a starting off point, this is a great starting off point. 378 00:28:00.065 --> 00:28:01.445 If you were in health and wellness, 379 00:28:01.745 --> 00:28:08.000 you can talk about why doing downward dog is beneficial for you at nighttime before you go to bed specifically. 380 00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:10.799 Right. Let's actually write that in 381 00:28:11.259 --> 00:28:11.759 about 382 00:28:12.139 --> 00:28:12.960 why doing 383 00:28:13.419 --> 00:28:15.934 downward dog is beneficial 384 00:28:16.475 --> 00:28:17.774 for you before 385 00:28:18.394 --> 00:28:19.455 going to bed. 386 00:28:20.315 --> 00:28:27.695 But what you can do before I hit that one, another thing you can do here is let's look for this restaurant as an example on Yelp, 387 00:28:28.075 --> 00:28:29.774 and here it is in San Francisco. 388 00:28:30.690 --> 00:28:33.110 And we do have the embedly integration. 389 00:28:33.250 --> 00:28:37.190 So let's click on this here, and we did test this in the video. 390 00:28:37.490 --> 00:28:40.149 If you come here and you click on the embedly 391 00:28:41.090 --> 00:28:46.309 the embed and we click this here and insert it, it should pull some data from Yelp. 392 00:28:46.505 --> 00:28:48.265 And we can see there it's pulled 393 00:28:49.145 --> 00:28:51.705 whatever it has, it it actually links to the Yelp listing. 394 00:28:51.705 --> 00:28:55.805 So if you really needed a quick way to kind of strum up content for your site, 395 00:28:56.185 --> 00:29:02.870 this, again, this can be either a great launching point to stimulate ideas and then you add more to it. 396 00:29:03.090 --> 00:29:03.970 Or you can, 397 00:29:04.610 --> 00:29:07.090 if you're having writer's block, you can use it to fill in the blanks. 398 00:29:07.090 --> 00:29:09.350 Or if you're looking to make an article more interesting, 399 00:29:09.650 --> 00:29:10.310 I think 400 00:29:10.690 --> 00:29:16.710 ChatGPT is great for analyzing data too and getting ideas. But I think the more specific the input, 401 00:29:17.054 --> 00:29:20.894 the more interesting and more unique, the output would be. So let's see. 402 00:29:20.894 --> 00:29:26.674 Write article about why downward by doing downward dog is beneficial for you before going to bed. 403 00:29:27.054 --> 00:29:30.674 And let's see what it comes up with here. So you just highlight the text you want, 404 00:29:31.159 --> 00:29:33.500 and then you click ask chat GPT. 405 00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:37.100 And let's see the output. I think generally takes about 406 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:40.299 less than ten seconds for it to spit out an output. 407 00:29:40.760 --> 00:29:42.299 And here we are here. 408 00:29:42.600 --> 00:29:48.135 So again, I here are some benefits here. It's listing it in number order, so that's pretty good. 409 00:29:48.995 --> 00:29:51.635 And there we go. We have we have an article here. 410 00:29:52.115 --> 00:29:57.715 So we can marry this with some images. We can get some YouTube videos of downward dog. 411 00:29:57.715 --> 00:29:59.970 Let's just do that. How to 412 00:30:00.350 --> 00:30:01.809 do downward dog. 413 00:30:02.110 --> 00:30:02.610 YouTube. 414 00:30:03.230 --> 00:30:05.090 Right. So let's take this video here. 415 00:30:05.549 --> 00:30:06.049 And 416 00:30:06.509 --> 00:30:09.330 what we can do is take the video URL 417 00:30:09.710 --> 00:30:13.090 back to our blog. We'll drop come here and we can 418 00:30:13.505 --> 00:30:15.365 insert video based on URL. 419 00:30:15.985 --> 00:30:18.885 And now we have a video in the post as well. 420 00:30:19.265 --> 00:30:26.405 And you can see here again just in a few moments, you can quickly have content added to your site. 421 00:30:26.650 --> 00:30:28.890 David, should we explain anything more with this? 422 00:30:28.890 --> 00:30:33.710 We could show one more thing in the in the admin area here where we're working on 423 00:30:34.250 --> 00:30:36.090 adding it to the web page builder. 424 00:30:36.090 --> 00:30:40.429 So if you create a new web page, it's not only available when you're doing blog posts, 425 00:30:40.825 --> 00:30:44.365 but it would be available here. And we can say something, 426 00:30:45.145 --> 00:30:45.645 like, 427 00:30:46.185 --> 00:30:47.645 write content for 428 00:30:48.265 --> 00:30:48.765 landing 429 00:30:49.545 --> 00:30:50.045 page 430 00:30:50.345 --> 00:30:52.125 for ebook about 431 00:30:52.425 --> 00:30:54.845 we'll just stick with the yoga tips yoga tips. 432 00:30:55.580 --> 00:30:58.160 And we can just ask chat CPT, 433 00:30:58.780 --> 00:31:01.980 write content for landing page for ebook about yoga tips. 434 00:31:01.980 --> 00:31:06.720 Now, again, the more specific, the better it will be.

Let me see if it's here. 5050. 440 00:31:28.460 --> 00:31:30.159 It is here. So, 441 00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:33.919 right intro to email about upset 442 00:31:34.220 --> 00:31:34.720 customer 443 00:31:35.419 --> 00:31:36.640 or accidental 444 00:31:38.475 --> 00:31:39.215 billing charge. 445 00:31:39.835 --> 00:31:40.815 It happens sometimes. 446 00:31:41.275 --> 00:31:45.934 And here we go. Right. Intro to email about upset customer for a dear customer. 447 00:31:46.315 --> 00:31:51.934 I'm writing to express my frustrations regarding accident billing. As a lawyer loyal customer 448 00:31:52.530 --> 00:31:55.510 of our company, I have always trusted blah blah blah. 449 00:31:55.970 --> 00:32:04.070 Anyways, your imp your output is gonna be just as good as your input, but we can see here this can really help us, deliver customer service a bit quicker. 450 00:32:04.555 --> 00:32:08.475 And, of course, you can save, templates on your site and things like that as well. Yeah. 451 00:32:08.475 --> 00:32:11.275 I think it's gonna be, I don't think it's gonna be a game changer. 452 00:32:11.275 --> 00:32:13.935 I think it's gonna be a great helping hand 453 00:32:14.315 --> 00:32:17.530 and really encourage you to add content to your site. 454 00:32:17.530 --> 00:32:24.670 With the assistance of this, it's going to make it a bit more fun because you're gonna have fun putting in the inputs, and you're gonna get better at it. 455 00:32:24.970 --> 00:32:37.514 There's people who talk about chat g b t taking away people's jobs, but what it's really gonna do is create jobs of people who who know how to input good prompts into chat chat GPT to get really meaningful outputs, 456 00:32:38.215 --> 00:32:42.934 from it. Let's see. Anything to add here, David, about that? No. I think you nailed it. 457 00:32:42.934 --> 00:32:46.794 I think it'll be a really good helpful addition when, you know, writing 458 00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:53.140 emails, pieces of content, whatever it may be. And just a real quick tip before we do release this. 459 00:32:53.140 --> 00:33:01.160 I know a lot of you have, already played around with ChatGPT a lot, but, what we found is, you know, using shorter, more specific prompts 460 00:33:01.545 --> 00:33:03.245 tend to give better outputs. 461 00:33:03.545 --> 00:33:08.285 Even if, you know, you're writing, you know, a multi piece article, and if you can break it out into sections 462 00:33:08.585 --> 00:33:17.500 and make those specific sections into their own individual prompts rather than asking ChatGPT in one really big prompt to spit out a whole article. 463 00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:19.000 That sometimes helps as well. 464 00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:24.779 But I think, I think this will make, creating content for the website, which will obviously help with SEO, 465 00:33:25.159 --> 00:33:27.000 user engagement, all that sort of stuff. 466 00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:35.054 I think it'll really help make it easier and, and help save you a lot of time as well so you can focus on maybe some more important aspects of managing your site. 467 00:33:35.115 --> 00:33:39.775 Yeah. And and giving it to the, the text editors that your members have access to, 468 00:33:40.155 --> 00:33:42.920 it might encourage them to add more content to your site. 469 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.820 If you're rewarding them by giving them visibility 470 00:33:46.679 --> 00:33:50.059 or, sharing what they create on your site on your social media, 471 00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.100 and giving them a carrot and incentive to 472 00:33:53.559 --> 00:34:00.505 contribute content to your site user generated content, and let them know that this tool is there to quote, unquote assist them, 473 00:34:00.885 --> 00:34:05.865 with that process, they may be more inclined, and that'll help your website come up in the rankings, 474 00:34:06.645 --> 00:34:10.105 and just allow your website to have more content, for its visitors. 475 00:34:10.610 --> 00:34:15.590 So with that, I will lower everyone's hands.

So how like, how would we go about verifying individual members? 484 00:34:51.635 --> 00:34:52.835 Yeah. Let me do a quick, 485 00:34:53.474 --> 00:34:57.635 search verified member brilliant. I we have documentation on that. Let me see here. 486 00:34:57.635 --> 00:34:58.994 How to verify a listing. 487 00:34:58.994 --> 00:35:05.655 So this talks about how to verify a listing and talks a little bit about more how your members get verified on the front end. 488 00:35:06.670 --> 00:35:09.810 Say there's a verify your profile. Let me share this article. 489 00:35:10.350 --> 00:35:12.130 Basically, what in a nutshell, 490 00:35:13.310 --> 00:35:14.450 first, you enable, 491 00:35:15.150 --> 00:35:17.330 allowing your members to want to be verified. 492 00:35:17.870 --> 00:35:19.250 And in their dashboard, 493 00:35:19.605 --> 00:35:22.185 there'll be a link here that says verify your profile, 494 00:35:22.565 --> 00:35:26.325 and there'll be a short form there. It'll say whatever you want it to say. 495 00:35:26.325 --> 00:35:28.025 It's different for any industry. 496 00:35:28.565 --> 00:35:34.370 You can just say prove you're not prove you're a human and fill out this form, and they'll be that that's enough maybe. 497 00:35:34.370 --> 00:35:35.910 Or if you want them to provide, 498 00:35:36.290 --> 00:35:45.590 a copy and upload an image of their business license or whatever is important for your industry to verify them as a real person, an icon, or a business. 499 00:35:45.895 --> 00:35:54.875 And then once you manually receive that, you can then manually set them as a verified person on the site, and then they would get this little badge here that says verified member. 500 00:35:55.255 --> 00:36:00.555 I've seen people change. That's just a text label. They change the word verified to something 501 00:36:00.855 --> 00:36:01.710 something else, 502 00:36:02.109 --> 00:36:03.490 a certified member. 503 00:36:03.869 --> 00:36:06.530 You know, it's up to your imagination. Trusted member. 504 00:36:06.830 --> 00:36:10.109 So whatever you want to rename it, it doesn't have to be verified. 505 00:36:10.109 --> 00:36:14.210 It could be something a bit more that, is more in line with your, 506 00:36:14.670 --> 00:36:15.170 community, 507 00:36:15.645 --> 00:36:20.145 whatever you wanna call them, superstar member or whatnot. It's a good question there. 508 00:36:20.445 --> 00:36:23.245 Let's see Ryan's hand up here. I'm gonna start with you, Ryan, here. 509 00:36:23.245 --> 00:36:27.345 You always got some great insight here. Let me, unmute you. There you go. 510 00:36:27.660 --> 00:36:29.819 Hey. Hey. Great. Thanks for the, the edits. 511 00:36:29.980 --> 00:36:34.540 Really good, add ons for this week, and then the notes functionality there on the hover. 512 00:36:34.540 --> 00:36:35.359 That was great. 513 00:36:35.900 --> 00:36:41.520 Had a had a quick question on the chat GPT thing. Obviously, that's like a 514 00:36:41.845 --> 00:36:45.765 a one and done way to do that where you highlight it, and then you you just click the button. 515 00:36:46.005 --> 00:36:49.125 A lot of times, obviously, on some of those other systems, you can highlight, 516 00:36:49.605 --> 00:36:51.625 what you previously did and then modify 517 00:36:52.005 --> 00:36:54.405 something that's already there instead of starting from scratch. 518 00:36:54.405 --> 00:36:57.970 Is there again, I know you don't have this functionality, but I don't know if there's a way 519 00:36:58.270 --> 00:37:03.250 to add text since you have to grab the text and obviously throw that into the chat, d b q anyway, 520 00:37:03.550 --> 00:37:07.550 to be able to add text on top of the the highlight, if that makes sense. 521 00:37:07.550 --> 00:37:10.505 So you could maybe highlight the text you just did and say, 522 00:37:10.885 --> 00:37:13.305 expand this paragraph, but make it more, 523 00:37:14.085 --> 00:37:14.984 focused on, 524 00:37:15.525 --> 00:37:19.224 the coupon value or something like that, where you you add a, 525 00:37:19.925 --> 00:37:24.210 or or just say, redo or re you know, refresh or something like that. 526 00:37:24.210 --> 00:37:27.810 Like, add text to what you already did. Does that make sense? Yes. 527 00:37:27.810 --> 00:37:30.850 Like, you're carrying a conversation with it. So what Yeah. 528 00:37:31.010 --> 00:37:38.070 In our test that we already did with the available API for this, it seems like every highlight and submission is its own request. 529 00:37:38.369 --> 00:37:39.030 It doesn't 530 00:37:39.375 --> 00:37:40.515 continue. Okay. 531 00:37:40.735 --> 00:37:46.915 So if you because that that was the first thing I tested is I gave it I gave it my name, and then I said, do you remember my name? 532 00:37:46.975 --> 00:37:50.195 And then it's and then it wasn't it was totally different. So, 533 00:37:51.055 --> 00:37:54.150 yeah, continuing the conversation isn't available. Jess said, 534 00:37:55.750 --> 00:37:56.250 eventually, 535 00:37:56.710 --> 00:38:06.470 but you can add to your you probably can just modify your your highlighted text, to just make it a Or you can just highlight the longer text they gave you or part of it and then just redo it and basically with that. 536 00:38:06.470 --> 00:38:09.674 Yes. Longer. But it yeah. So what I what I did was this. 537 00:38:09.914 --> 00:38:13.035 So we had, like, the this downward dog here, 538 00:38:13.355 --> 00:38:17.115 relieve stress and anxiety. So then I would I did this. I did, 539 00:38:18.234 --> 00:38:18.734 explain, 540 00:38:19.835 --> 00:38:20.335 three 541 00:38:20.875 --> 00:38:21.615 three ways, 542 00:38:22.660 --> 00:38:23.160 downward 543 00:38:23.780 --> 00:38:28.660 dog, relieve stress, and anxiety. And then I just redid the chat g p t. 544 00:38:28.660 --> 00:38:32.760 And then I have, like, subheadings for this heading for this section as well. 545 00:38:33.060 --> 00:38:36.900 Okay. Great. Yeah. I think that's a good use case there. Just keep them know that they can do that. 546 00:38:36.900 --> 00:38:39.295 Yeah. Alright. Awesome. Alright. Thank you, Ryan. 547 00:38:39.595 --> 00:38:42.555 Alright. Let's see who else's hand. We got a few hands up here. 548 00:38:42.555 --> 00:38:45.355 We do have a couple people asking when this will be available. 549 00:38:45.355 --> 00:38:48.815 We're shooting to have it available, like, within the next thirty days. Right? 550 00:38:49.195 --> 00:38:49.695 Yeah. 551 00:38:50.075 --> 00:38:55.270 I'm gonna say sooner than that. Actually, maybe release next week, end of next week. Amazing. 552 00:38:55.270 --> 00:38:58.569 Unless you guys want us to slow out the rollout. No. No. 553 00:38:58.869 --> 00:39:00.789 Of course. No. We're almost there. 554 00:39:00.789 --> 00:39:06.230 So we just gotta go through some QA and, we're gonna prioritize this just because it's so high value for the committee, 555 00:39:06.710 --> 00:39:09.215 so we can get this out to everyone. So, yeah, 556 00:39:09.515 --> 00:39:16.315 this and the coupon codes for one off payments looking at probably end of next week or shortly within, the week after. 557 00:39:16.315 --> 00:39:21.035 But, it varies to this month, I'd say for sure. Alright. Let's go to Dave here. Okay. 558 00:39:21.035 --> 00:39:27.119 So this thing here is gonna be a built in integration with the page builder, the, 559 00:39:28.059 --> 00:39:31.579 blog builder, and all that. Is that correct the way you just showed it? Yeah. 560 00:39:31.579 --> 00:39:32.619 It's gonna be an add on. 561 00:39:32.619 --> 00:39:36.960 And once you have that enabled, you'll be able to use it with all those editors that you just mentioned. 562 00:39:37.595 --> 00:39:39.035 Okay. Nice. And then, 563 00:39:39.674 --> 00:39:46.734 but it's it won't have the ability to update the prompt or anything like that, at least right away that might come later? 564 00:39:46.954 --> 00:39:48.895 Not right. Not just yet. 565 00:39:49.194 --> 00:39:57.180 As the as their API becomes more robust, we're gonna be checking on it, and we're going to be adding in as much as we can, 566 00:39:57.763 --> 00:40:01.263 that makes sense. It's right into that editor there. Understood. Okay. Great. 567 00:40:01.555 --> 00:40:07.055 And then I did have one other question, if you don't mind. Yep. Was wondering about it. 568 00:40:07.055 --> 00:40:10.515 I wrote something on Facebook, and I think you answered it back. 569 00:40:11.214 --> 00:40:12.675 We're looking at, obviously, 570 00:40:13.214 --> 00:40:14.194 importing content. 571 00:40:15.055 --> 00:40:22.050 Is there options within the platform, and I haven't really tested this out, to add widgets to do importing of content 572 00:40:22.590 --> 00:40:27.490 outside of the Zapier solution? Because the sources we're using aren't gonna provide 573 00:40:27.869 --> 00:40:30.930 RSS feeds to readily grab and borrow their stuff. 574 00:40:31.470 --> 00:40:33.470 They're gonna be a little bit more guarded than that. 575 00:40:33.470 --> 00:40:37.225 So we have ways to do you know, to scrape and pull data. 576 00:40:37.605 --> 00:40:41.525 And then I'm just curious if we have the ability ability to add a widget that, 577 00:40:42.405 --> 00:40:44.185 you know, is available to do imports. 578 00:40:44.485 --> 00:40:46.265 Yeah. I'll tell you two things. One, 579 00:40:46.965 --> 00:40:53.380 I'll I'll get to the widget. If you had a CSV file, you can import the posts that way, through a CSV 580 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:57.380 file, just like you import members. And if you come to this page, 581 00:40:57.839 --> 00:40:58.740 it's under, 582 00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:00.720 manage posts and then click that. 583 00:41:00.720 --> 00:41:08.295 There is a link here to view the import guide, which includes a sample CSV template that you can use as your model for your import. 584 00:41:08.595 --> 00:41:09.234 And then, 585 00:41:09.714 --> 00:41:13.174 the last thing is let me see if I can Google this real quick. 586 00:41:13.954 --> 00:41:14.855 Brilliant directories, 587 00:41:15.474 --> 00:41:15.974 create 588 00:41:16.355 --> 00:41:18.535 plug in admin. Just a moment. 589 00:41:19.930 --> 00:41:20.670 Oh, here. 590 00:41:21.050 --> 00:41:24.170 So what you can do is I'll share this link here. You can, 591 00:41:24.570 --> 00:41:26.030 you can create your own widget, 592 00:41:26.330 --> 00:41:30.090 and then you can make it oh, let's see if there's a picture here. There's a way to do it. 593 00:41:30.090 --> 00:41:31.550 Now what it will do is 594 00:41:31.985 --> 00:41:35.425 it will create a new side menu item here called plugins. 595 00:41:35.425 --> 00:41:42.645 We have some of the developers from the marketplace do this, and then it will it will render whatever code you've created for your plugin, 596 00:41:43.185 --> 00:41:47.765 here, and you can do all your manipulation with your database. Let me share a link to that article. 597 00:41:48.300 --> 00:41:49.820 That'd be great. Thank you. Yeah. 598 00:41:49.820 --> 00:41:52.700 So what this is gonna show you, yeah, it's how to create a plugin record. 599 00:41:52.700 --> 00:41:58.320 It's gonna allow you to create a link in your admin where you can then render your code and do whatever you need to do. 600 00:41:58.540 --> 00:41:59.040 Nice. 601 00:41:59.500 --> 00:42:03.654 Nice. That was it. Thank you, sir. You're very welcome. Good question there. Alright. 602 00:42:03.654 --> 00:42:08.315 Let's see who else. We got some more hands up here. Got Steven again here. How you doing, Steven? 603 00:42:08.694 --> 00:42:09.194 Yeah. 604 00:42:09.575 --> 00:42:14.135 Really, great with the chat, JPT. Thank you so much. It's really great, chat. 605 00:42:14.135 --> 00:42:20.020 It's it's it's simple, but it should just be enough to maybe continue to carry the conversation in in an article that you're writing. 606 00:42:20.240 --> 00:42:24.500 It is. Yeah. So I was so, again, you always spoil us. So here's my question. 607 00:42:25.520 --> 00:42:32.020 Do you guys foresee any other use cases or applications for the chat g p, add on, for example, 608 00:42:33.165 --> 00:42:40.125 to be able to add it to forms, for example, or to do other things that chat g p t can do besides write content. 609 00:42:40.125 --> 00:42:43.085 I think the everything is great. I'm not sort of minimizing the done. 610 00:42:43.085 --> 00:42:44.765 I think it's great and you had a lot of use. 611 00:42:44.765 --> 00:42:49.710 But just sort of curious what what your road plan is for the jet chat GPT 612 00:42:50.250 --> 00:42:52.349 add on, if any, at this point. 613 00:42:53.289 --> 00:42:55.069 I think we can leave it to the community. 614 00:42:55.769 --> 00:43:00.329 Maybe we can post in the Facebook group and see what other what makes, like, sense. 615 00:43:00.329 --> 00:43:06.165 We don't wanna be too wild or out there with it, and we wanna kinda want something that'll be high value for the majority of users. 616 00:43:06.165 --> 00:43:09.765 But if we can find more use cases where we can plug something in, 617 00:43:10.085 --> 00:43:12.345 where you put an input and you get an output, 618 00:43:12.965 --> 00:43:19.900 that makes sense for a diff besides, like, creating content, that would that would certainly be helpful if we come up with more use cases like 619 00:43:20.200 --> 00:43:23.240 that. Okay. I don't know when you off the off the top of my head, but, 620 00:43:23.640 --> 00:43:26.059 yeah, if we the the content seems like the, 621 00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:29.819 the main Obvious one. Main way right now. Yeah. The obvious one. 622 00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:34.795 Yeah. Great. Thank you. It's great. It's exciting. Yeah. Yeah. Super. Thank you, Steven. 623 00:43:34.935 --> 00:43:35.994 Good stuff there. 624 00:43:36.375 --> 00:43:40.055 All right. Let's see how we doing on time.
