Groundhogg 3.4.3 is here! This update included new features, such as an in-app Rest API playground and more.
Here’s what you need to know:
🛝 In-App Rest API Playground
We’ve been getting 100s of requests for better REST API docs. Well, we did you one better.
Instead of typical REST API documentation that is hosted on our documentation site, you can access the new Rest API Playground on your WordPress site from the Toolspage.
This is better than traditional API documentation because not only can you fully explore the Rest API and all the endpoints, but you can test them using the actual data on your site!
The GUI for the playground allows you to build requests and test them in real time. No need for Postman or other 3rd party testing tools.
Many of the core endpoints are already available. Endpoints for other products like deals, companies, and appointments will be rolled out over time.
🔒 Emails & funnels are locked while editing.
As larger companies start adopting Groundhogg, we’ve been hearing cases of two marketers trying to edit the same funnel or email at the same time.
Obviously, this has led to some edits disappearing 😱.
Because Groundhogg does not use the Custom Post Types framework in WordPress, we had to emulate/duplicate asset locking while editing.
When editing a singular email, other users will be prevented from editing it unless they explicitly take over editing. Similar to posts.
When editing a funnel, the funnel will become locked, and all the emails in that funnel will become locked as well.
Here’s the complete changelog for Groundhogg 3.4.3:
3.4.3.1
- ADDED Filter `groundhogg/has_accepted_cookies` for compatibility with 3rd party cookie compliance plugins.
- ADDED Filter `groundhogg/location/get_real_ip` to filter the IP address. Just for you Paul ;).
- FIXED Issue with the broadcast schedule lock not being reset, resulting in broadcast scheduling hanging up sometimes.
- FIXED Unable to cancel pending broadcasts if no events have been scheduled yet.
3.4.3
- ADDED Asset editing lock. Emails and funnels will now be “locked” while editing. Similar to WordPress posts.
- ADDED Rest API Playground! You can now see proper API documentation, as well as test the API based on your website data from within the browser.
