The Loomly Team wishes you all the best for 2018: success at work, good times with your loved ones, and a strong health to enjoy it all!

2018 is going to be an important year for Loomly, full of improvements and surprises, which we hope you will all enjoy.

Kicking things off on the right foot, we are happy to bring you a brand-new feature today: the Instagram Grid Preview.

As you may guess from its name, this update allows you to preview your Instagram posts in grid format, i.e. in the context of your other Instagram posts:

By default, the post you are previewing will appear at the top left of your grid, as the last published post on your Instagram account.

By toggling the SHOW FUTURE LOOMLY POSTS switch, you can also preview a post taking into consideration your upcoming posts already scheduled with Loomly:

The Instagram Grid Preview is available from the Post View, for all Loomly users, in all calendars linked to an Instagram account.

As always, this is a feature inspired by your immensely useful feedback and we hope it will live up to your expectations.

Thank you so much for your incredible support in 2017: we are proud to keep building — and improving — Loomly for you in 2018.

Manage All Your Media Assets Inside Your Brand-New Content Library

#Update — Manage All Your Assets Inside Your Brand-New Content Library

We’ve been a little more quiet than usual lately, as we have been working on some big surprises for you all, the first of which is this major update, bringing a brand-new Content Library to your favorite social media tool.

You can access your Content Library from both the List View & the Calendar View via the Library icon in your Toolbar.

Loomly Content Library Icon

Inside your Content Library, you can:

  • Upload photos & videos to be used later when creating new posts.
  • Edit new and existing files metadata, for instance renaming assets per your internal conventions.
  • Delete assets you no longer need.
  • Apply changes to multiple files with bulk actions.

Of course, you can select any file — and even multiple files — in your Content Library and create a post from there:

Content Library Build Post From Media

Conversely, you can access your Content Library from Post Builder and simply select a file — or multiple files — on the fly when creating a new post:

Oh, and one more thing: all the files you have ever used in all of your Loomly posts since Day 1 have automatically been saved into your Content Library, ready to use again.

This brand-new Content Library is already available to all Loomly users: check it out now!

Once again, this feature was inspired by your amazing feedback and developed thanks to your outstanding support: thank you so much to you all.

We are immensely grateful to be able to build Loomly for you every day and we are happy to report that we have some pretty sweet surprises coming your way real soon: stay tuned.

Publish Tweets With 280 Characters & YouTube Twitter Cards

#Update — Publish Tweets With 280 Characters & YouTube Twitter Cards

On Tuesday, Twitter officially rolled out the 280-character limit to all users: as of today, you can publish tweets with 280 characters via Loomly as well.

Besides this increased character limit, your post creation process remains exactly the same in Post Builder:

  • If you want to publish a post to multiple channels, including Twitter, define generic content first.
  • Fine-tune your content for each channel, making sure that your Twitter copy is 280-character long (or less).
  • Links & media respectively count as 23 characters and 0 characters against this limit.
  • As announced yesterday, you can include images up to 5MB and videos up to 200MB and 5 minutes in your tweets.

One little thing we have improved along the way is post preview for tweets including a YouTube video, which now show up in Loomly (and, of course, get published to Twitter) with a video Twitter card:

Publish Tweets With 280 Characters & YouTube Twitter Cards Post Preview

That’s it for today — a quick update letting you publish 280-character tweets and the ability to include YouTube Twitter Cards in your posts — until we bring something much bigger to you in the upcoming weeks: stay tuned!

As always, thank you so much for your support: you are the best users we could dream of.

Upload Larger Media Assets To Your Posts

#Update — Upload Larger Media Assets To Your Posts

Loomly now allows you to upload larger media assets to your posts from Post Builder:

  • Up to 10MB for photos on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+ & LinkedIn — and 5MB on Twitter.
  • Up to 200MB and 5 minutes for videos (although we do recommend videos less than 30MB and shorter than 2 minutes for an optimal experience).

Upload Larger Media Assets To Your Posts From Post Builder In Loomly

This update is already available to all Loomly users: login and create a new post now.

Along with faster upload and GIF to MP4 conversion, the increased limits above are in fact the tip of the iceberg…

We have been working on a brand-new architecture, which is the foundation for two two very nice new media-related features, coming by the end of the year.

We can’t wait to share these exciting updates with you: stay tuned!

As always, thank you so much for your incredible feedback and your continuous help: it’s an honor for our team to get up every morning and build Loomly for such an amazing community of users.

You are truly the best.

Publish Animated GIFs to Facebook & Instagram

#Update — Publish Animated GIFs to Facebook & Instagram

Sometimes, a seemingly small feature can make a surprisingly big difference… that’s the kind of update we tend to think we are announcing today: Loomly now allows you to publish animated GIFs to Facebook & Instagram.

So far, you were able to upload animated GIF files to Loomly but these were not accepted by the Facebook (Page) & Instagram APIs: you could either publish these “as is” and they would end up as non-animated on your social accounts, or upload MP4 files instead, specifically for these two platforms, which also implied some kind of manual conversion on your end.

Now, Loomly will do the heavy lifting for you: just upload an animated GIF to Post Builder and, if you selected either Facebook or Instagram as channels for your post, then your file will automatically get converted to MP4, and get published as a video.

Publish Animated GIFs to Facebook & Instagram With Loomly Post Builder Demo

Note: on all other channels, namely Twitter, Pinterest, Google+ & LinkedIn, your original animated GIF file will get published as expected.

Then, you may ask: what about the famous 3-second minimum duration for videos on Instagram?

Well, if the MP4 video resulting from the conversion of your animated GIF is shorter than that threshold, then Loomly will automatically loop it for you until the 3-second requirement is met.

In other words: you can now focus on finding awesome animated GIFs your audience will love, and Loomly will take care of the rest for you.

As always, this is a feature inspired by your feedback: thank you so much for your amazing support and your incredible enthusiasm.

(A lot) more is coming: stay tuned!

Get Even More Productive With Your New Notifications System

#Loomly — Get Even More Productive With Your New Notifications System

Today, we are happy to announce a significant Loomly update we have been working on for a while now: introducing your brand new notifications system.

The goal of this update is to make notifications more exhaustive, more clear and more actionnable.

In particular, this new notifications system includes 5 key features:

  • On The Radar widget: in lieu of your former Today’s Posts widget, you will now find a new On The Radar widget, letting you see at a glance all your posts, from all your calendars (with filtering options), planned for today — with the ability to look at posts up to one week in the past as well as one week in the future — and identify quickly which ones are good to go, and which ones require your attention.

Loomly New Notifications System On The Radar Widget

  • Post Overview widget: replacing the old Notifications widget, the new Post Overview widget gives you a summary of how many posts overall (i.e. in all your calendars) you have in each state — Draft, Pending Approval, Requires Edit, Approved, Scheduled, Published, Failed & Passed — letting you know where you need to focus your efforts. You can filter posts by Assignee, to see exactly who needs to do what in your team.

Loomly New Notifications System Post Overview Widget

  • Comments widget: previously included in the Notifications widget, comments have now been extracted into their own Comments widget, which lets you deal with comments just like you would deal with emails, marking them as read / unread as you go. Here again, you can filter comments by Collaborators: that’s particularly useful when you are looking for a particular comment.

Loomly New Notifications System Comments Widget

  • Comments notifications: in addition, you can now receive notifications for all comments, and not only those mentioning you personally. This option is disabled by default and you can enable it from the Notifications tab of your Account.

Loomly New Notifications System Comments Notifications

  • “Everybody” notifications: last but not least, when you assign a post to “Everybody”, all collaborators in your calendar can now receive a notification.

This new notifications system is already available to all Loomly user: log in to your account and check it out!

As always, we have only been able to design this major update thanks to your amazing feedback and we hope you will enjoy your new notifications system, and most importantly, that it will help you (and your team) get even more productive.

Thank you so much for everything: you are the best community we could dream of.

The Loomly Team.
