v1.2.0

Migration wizard, template marketplace, infra wins around Redis and Route 53, and a public Swagger reference.

Added
  • Migration wizard — guided import from OneSignal, PushEngage, and Webpushr. Maps tags, segments, and templates to the ReachBell schema, with a per-step dry-run.
  • Template marketplace — browse and clone push, email, and WhatsApp templates contributed by the team. Every clone lands in your project as an editable draft.
  • Route 53 DNS auto-provision for custom sender domains — verify SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and tracking CNAMEs in one click for stores already on AWS.
  • WhatsApp template status surfaces in the dashboard — pending, approved, and rejected states sync from the Meta Cloud API every 60 seconds.
  • Public Swagger reference at /docs — every REST endpoint, payload, and response schema, served straight from the OpenAPI spec.
Improved
  • Redis SSE bridge replaces the in-memory event bus, so live dashboards stay live across multiple API instances.
  • Redis-backed throttler enforces per-project send rate limits in a single round-trip — no more drift between workers.
  • Onboarding flow remembers your partial setup and lets you resume from the dashboard banner instead of starting over.
Fixed
  • Segment editor no longer drops the last clause when a rule includes only an empty value.
  • WhatsApp delivery webhooks now retry with exponential backoff instead of giving up after the first non-2xx.
  • Audit log CSV export honors the current filter set instead of always exporting the whole month.

v1.1.0

A bigger analytics stack, deeper Shopify support, and the admin UI you can rearrange.

Added
  • Cohort retention report — group subscribers by signup week and watch how each cohort engages over time, channel by channel.
  • Channel attribution dashboard — see which channel (push, email, WhatsApp, SMS) drove each downstream event or order.
  • Subscriber timeline view — every event, send, click, and identify call for a single subscriber, scrollable in one pane.
  • Custom-layout admin UI — drag and drop dashboard widgets, save layouts per role, share them across the team.
  • Audit log filters and CSV export — slice by actor, action, project, and date range, then export the result.
  • Shopify GDPR webhooks — customers/data_request, customers/redact, and shop/redact all HMAC-verified and audited.
  • Scheduled email digests — opt subscribers into a daily, weekly, or monthly roll-up email of campaigns or product updates.
  • Segment drag-and-drop editor — reorder rule groups and clauses without rewriting the segment definition.
Improved
  • A/B test winner detection now uses a Bayesian credible-interval calculator instead of a fixed-window comparison.
  • Campaign editor preview now reflects merge tags using the actual subscriber attributes you have selected.
  • API rate-limit headers added to every response so SDKs and integrations can back off gracefully.
Fixed
  • Importing a CSV with BOM characters no longer breaks the first column name.
  • Quiet hours respected on scheduled campaigns even when the schedule crosses a daylight-saving boundary.
  • Notification center widget no longer flashes light theme during dark-mode hydration.

v1.0.5

A small SDK addition with a big attribution payoff.

Added
  • SDK attachUtmTagger() — one call and every outbound click on your site picks up the right UTM parameters automatically, so push, email, and in-app campaigns all line up in GA4.

v1.0.4

Two more widgets in the SDK, zero new dependencies.

Added
  • SDK banner widget — a dismissible top-of-page banner that respects theme tokens and ties into the campaign analytics.
  • SDK notification center widget — a bell + drawer combo that lists every in-app notification a subscriber has received, with read/unread state.

v1.0.3

The first in-app widget lands in the SDK.

Added
  • SDK toast widget — render in-app toasts triggered by push or by track() events, with stacking, auto-dismiss, and a one-line ReachBell.toast() API.

v1.0.0

Initial launch. Every channel, every workflow, one platform.

Added
  • Web push via the W3C Push API with per-project VAPID keys.
  • Mobile push via Firebase Cloud Messaging (Android) and the Apple Push Notification service (iOS).
  • Email campaigns through AWS SES with deliverability monitoring and bounce / complaint webhooks.
  • WhatsApp Business and SMS channels with templated sends and per-region routing.
  • Visual automations canvas with triggers, branches, delays, and channel steps.
  • Saved segments with country, city, device, tag, and last-seen filters reusable across campaigns.
  • A/B testing with deterministic split assignment and auto-promotion by click-through rate.
  • Project-level audit log, frequency caps, quiet hours, and hosted preference center.
