Changelog

Today we're rolling out a refreshed Cevoid brand: a cleaner identity, updated visuals, and a tighter story for what Cevoid actually does. The product hasn't changed overnight, but the way we talk about it is clearer: Cevoid is the brand engagement platform for ecommerce, with UGC, Loyalty, and Reviews in one place so you can feature, reward, and grow with your customers.

What's new

• Refreshed visual identity: New logo, typography, color system, and illustration style across the marketing site, dashboard, and in-product widgets.
• Clearer product story: Three connected modules: UGC, Loyalty, and Reviews, working off the same profiles, segments, and catalog.
• UGC, refined: The same on-site galleries, Inbox, and rights management you know, now with the updated look and tighter copy throughout.
• Loyalty, front and center: Challenges, activities, tiers, and rewards presented as a first-class module alongside UGC.

The rebrand rolls out across cevoid.com and the dashboard today. Nothing you need to do. Your existing galleries, programs, and widgets work exactly the same as before.

We're introducing AI Product Tagging, a faster way to connect UGC to the products shown in each photo.

Instead of starting every tag from a blank product search, Cevoid now analyzes the post, understands what is visible, and suggests matching products from your catalog. For fashion brands, the pipeline can reason about the person in the image and match garments or accessories by body area. For broader catalogs, it uses visual context and your product categories to understand what to look for.

What's new

• Product suggestions in the editor: Review suggested products directly on a post, then accept or dismiss them.
• Variant-level matching: Tag the exact product variant when the image points to a specific color, material, size, or SKU.
• Smarter catalog search: Search results now work closer to the way tagging teams think, with faster variant-focused results for large catalogs.

The result is a tagging workflow that starts closer to the right answer. Open a post in your Inbox or library and look for AI suggestions in the product tagging panel.

We're introducing dynamic galleries for category, collection, and brand pages. They work the same way as the dynamic product page gallery you already use: Cevoid reads the page context and shows the right UGC automatically.

These galleries use the page a shopper is already viewing to decide which UGC to show. A collection page can show posts tagged with products in that collection, a category page can follow the category path, and a brand page can use brand data from your product feed. That means you can add one gallery setup and let Cevoid adapt it across your storefront instead of curating every page manually.

This saves a lot of time and reduces manual setup from unique galleries on every page to setting up one gallery that works across your storefront. Product tagging is what connects the content, so adding a single product tag to a post can now power four dynamic galleries automatically: product, category, collection, and brand.

What's new

• Automatic page matching: Use the same auto-detection pattern as product galleries for categories and collections.
• Brand-aware galleries: Detect brands from Shopify vendor data and Google Shopping Feed brand values.
• Multi-language URL support: Resolve translated slugs, diacritics, and locale prefixes back to the right category or collection.
• Per-page pinning: Pin posts for a specific category, collection, or brand when some content should always appear first.

The new dynamic galleries are available under UGC › on-site widgets as default galleries, ready to use right away.

We're improving accessibility and compliance across Cevoid, starting with the content shoppers interact with most: your galleries and UGC.

Cevoid AI now handles accessible media metadata for you, fully automatically. For every post, across every language and market you have configured, Cevoid generates alt text, video descriptions, captions, and the translations needed to support accessible gallery experiences. You do not need to build this workflow post by post.

What's new

• Automated alt text: AI-generated descriptive text for images used in UGC and galleries.
• Automated video accessibility: Video descriptions, captions, and subtitle data prepared automatically.
• Automated accessibility translations: Accessibility text translated for every configured market language.

Your team can still review or override AI output when needed, but the default is hands-off: accessible gallery content that keeps working as you publish new posts and expand to more markets.

We're introducing Profile Properties, one of the most important building blocks in Cevoid for turning community engagement into useful first-party data.

Profile Properties are custom fields on every profile, so you can collect the attributes that matter to your brand and use them across Cevoid and your marketing stack. Define text fields, numbers, dropdowns, and measurements like length, height, and weight. Capture fit and style details such as size, skin type, hair type, and preferences, or create your own fields for the questions you want to ask.

Collect this data through your Loyalty program with activities, challenges, and surveys, then sync it to tools like Shopify, Klaviyo, and Voyado. The same properties can also appear on gallery posts, so shoppers see helpful context like height, size, or skin type next to UGC and can find content that feels relevant to them. Length, height, and weight values are stored consistently and shown in units shoppers understand based on their market.

What's new

• Custom property types: Text, numbers, dropdowns, and measurements for the first-party data you want to collect.
• Collect through Loyalty: Use activities, challenges, and surveys to gather profile data from your community.
• On galleries: Show selected properties on UGC in your on-site galleries.
• Global gallery visibility: Choose which properties are shown on galleries from one workspace-wide setting.
• Integration-ready data: Sync property values and unit metadata to Shopify, Klaviyo, and Voyado.

Set up your properties in Settings › Properties, then turn on gallery visibility when you are ready to show them on UGC.

We're introducing automatic translation as a platform-wide way to run Cevoid across markets without maintaining parallel content libraries. Write once in your default language, and every experience that reaches end-consumers is shown in the correct market language.

That covers more than UI labels. Cevoid keeps text, legal copy, currency presentation, and product information aligned with each market, so localization is not a separate project your team has to keep revisiting. When you change source content, translations update in the background while you continue your regular work.

You still have full control when you want it. Open the translation page for a language, search for the text string you want to change, set a custom text, and save. That override applies immediately for that language.

To get started, add the languages you want to support in your market settings, then create or update content in your default language. Cevoid translates and keeps everything in sync automatically.

This week we have added the first version of our TikTok integration. With the first launch, you will be able to automatically sync videos from your own TikTok feed. Later this year, we will open up for collect UGC from TikTok and add TikTok tasks to the Program module.

Summary of first version of the TikTok integration

• Videos from your own feed are automatically synced
• Videos are added to your Inbox once synced
• Once synced, they are managed as all other posts
• Support for Multi TikTok accounts on the same workspace
• Import historical TikTok feed posts (up to 9 years)
• We have added a TikTok feed gallery under UGC › on-site widgets

Activate the integration under Settings › Integrations › TikTok

We've rolled out significant updates to our Instagram integration, giving you more flexibility and automation to manage your user-generated content (UGC) and engage your audience on Instagram.

This streamlines your UGC workflow by ensuring you capture all relevant content effortlessly. (Note: This applies to future posts; historical posts cannot be detected via hashtags).

We've made significant under-the-hood improvements to dramatically boost your platform's speed. You'll now experience blazing-fast content uploads and quicker workspace loading, especially for profiles, making your daily tasks more efficient and seamless.

What's improved

• Faster content uploads: Uploading content, even large 4K videos, now takes seconds instead of minutes across all upload interfaces, including our Social Media Scheduling tool.
• Instant profile loading: For workspaces with a large number of profiles, logging in and accessing profile data is now virtually instant. Profiles are fetched on-demand, eliminating previous wait times, even with millions of profiles.

We're already planning similar data handling improvements for posts, aiming to further reduce load times for brands with extensive content libraries.

We're excited to announce a major update that allows you to extend the power of your Cevoid profile data and engagement beyond our platform. This means you can now integrate valuable community insights directly with your CRM and e-commerce platforms, enabling deeper personalization and more effective communication across your entire tech stack.

For example, you can tailor tier-specific pages or offerings based on a customer's program status. This integration is currently available for Shopify.
• Coming soon: custom profile data: You'll be able to define and collect custom profile data unique to your brand directly through the Program module.

We're excited to launch the Widget Design Theme, a powerful new feature that centralizes the design control for all your Program widgets. This ensures a consistent, on-brand appearance across your entire site, making customization easier and more efficient than ever before.

  • Site design importer: Simply enter your website URL, and our system will intelligently scrape its design and apply findings directly to your new design theme settings.
  • Shopify design importer: For Shopify users, seamlessly import your current theme styling directly from your Shopify store.
• Widget-level adjustments: While widgets follow the global design theme, you can still fine-tune their copy, ordering, and layout individually, and each widget can utilize any of the defined color schemes.

To explore the new Widget Design Theme, navigate to your program settings and look for the "Design Theme" section.

This update focuses on making your day-to-day operations smoother with significant improvements to how you manage translations and handle legal policies. We've introduced a centralized translation interface and a robust legal policy management system with localized jurisdiction capabilities.

Email widgets - New editor and content functionality

We just rolled out our new email widget editor. The new way to build email widgets focuses on creating dynamic widgets that update over time, allowing you to refresh them as you receive new content. It's now super easy to add content to a widget, and we've also added support to rearrange posts, pin them, and set a sort order.

For those wondering, we'll also introduce this editor to our galleries very soon. Stay tuned!

Klaviyo - Sync member data and events

With the recent changes to our email widget, we've upgraded our Klaviyo integration to make it easier to embed dynamic widgets that change and react to the content of your emails. You could display your Instagram feed that dynamically updates or a specific set of rules you want to display.

You can now also sync member attributes and event data to Klaviyo. This enables you to build better segmentation around your most loyal customers and super fans.

Teams - Individual notifications and roles

We've updated team member functionality to make it easier to invite your team members and assign roles to them. Each member can now set their individual notifications, which makes it easier to manage data in your workspace without everyone getting notified.

Streamlined Terms of Service Management

Cevoid now enables brands to manage their Terms of Service (ToS) directly within the platform, simplifying legal compliance. Through a dedicated Legal page in Settings, brands can create and customize their own ToS, ensuring alignment with regional regulations since you can now tailor agreements for specific markets.

Shopify: Multiple storefronts on the same workspace

You can now connect multiple Shopify stores to the same Cevoid workspace. Prior to this update you would need multiple workspaces for each account. This is no longer required. If you are on setup with multiple workspaces for your Shopify stores, contact us and we will help you transfer to the new setup.
