They say April showers bring May flowers, and Jostle has been no different. Our last three flower-named product releases (Jasmine, Kerria, and Lily) brought plenty to celebrate. I’ll tell you all about them in this edition of the Voice.

Activity integrations
Last month we introduced the Activity API to Jostle. This new feature lets you create automated posts to the Activity feed from thousands of other apps across the web using Zapier or custom code. It’s so cool to see how everyone uses this tool to ease communications and build culture on their platform.
Here at Jostle, we’ve been keeping everyone updated on new posts from our Jostle blog and sharing the weather forecast for our office locations (check out the screenshot to the right).
We’ve also heard from a handful of customers who have created their own automations. Customers have integrated their social feeds like Instagram and Facebook, scheduled posts using Google sheets, and more!
We love to learn from our customers, so please share any Activity integrations you create with us! Send a screenshot to team@jostle.me.

The News Block Editor is leveling up
We’ve made some big strides in our mission to make editing News items seamless and easy. The editing experience for polls, images, and galleries have all received recent updates. Here’s a quick overview of what’s new!
We’re giving you more control when you make a poll. Last month we added improved poll settings, showing the menu right away and adding the option to republish your article when the poll is complete.
The image block has also gotten a revamp. Now, the action menu (⋮) allows you to easily manage and replace images within a gallery. And you can make edits to your images within Jostle including crop, rotate, or fill.
QUICK TIP
