November was another exciting month at Six Circles HQ. Here’s the lowdown on what’s been going on behind the scenes and on our ever-evolving community engagement platform!
Company News
All the latest from the world of Six Circles…
Cyber Essentials Plus accredited
In November, we’re proud to announce Six Circles has become Cyber Essentials Plus accredited, providing users of our platform with extra peace of mind that they’re sufficiently protected against any cyber attacks.
New investment
We are thrilled to have acquired new investment in November. This will enable Six Circles to continue to grow, expanding both our team and client base within the UK and USA.
Platform updates
This investment will also enable us to continue developing our platform. In the past month alone, these updates have included the integration of annual subscription handling within our subscription feature. This now allows organisations to enable monthly or annual memberships.
In November, the Six Circles platform was also updated to enable euro currency handling, creating a more user-friendly experience for any EU-based customers.
Future Roadmap
We mapped out some exciting new developments in the works for October’s bulletin. Here’s what progress has been made at Six Circles basecamp since then.
Newly structured email notification centre
A newly structured email notification centre is in progress, striving to give you more control over selecting the notifications that are important to you and your community.
Email digest improvements
We’ve begun the further development of our email digest to enable better custom tailoring. This will give you more control to customise features, content and more based on your unique needs.
Private groups within the forum area
Work has also begun on the development of a new private group function within the forum area of our platform, allowing users to create private discussion areas and giving admins total control to invite any member they wish.
Euro payments
We’ve integrated the ability to convert GBP to euros. This means users can now collect members’ payments for any paid events, subscriptions or packages in euros, enabling you to expand your community further than ever before.
Annual subscription system
We’ve also integrated an annual subscription system into the Six Circles platform, following the successful launch of our monthly subscription feature earlier in the year. Thanks to this handy new feature, it’s never been easier for your community to sign up!
We’re currently in the process of mapping out our plans for Q1. Got any suggestions on what should feature in our roadmap for the new year and beyond?
Send your suggestions to support@sixcircles.co.uk – we’d love to hear from you.
Feature spotlight
Each month, we’re shining the spotlight on a different feature of the Six Circles platform to ensure you’re always getting the most out of what we have to offer. This month, we’re focusing on the Subscription feature.
Did you know?
As well as handling memberships and subscriptions, you can also set user roles and permissions to tailor their interaction and overall experience on the platform?
How to use this feature
You have the control to specify what permissions each subscription has, including the ability to add benefits to certain memberships or revoke access to certain features.
For example, perhaps you’re a business network with two different tiers of membership, such as a standard membership and partner subscription. In this instance, you have control over the permissions associated with each membership type. So, if you wanted to give your partner subscription members the added benefit of promoting their services and events, you could customise our ‘create buttons’ accessibility so that they’re only visible for that particular membership type.
With complete control over your subscribers’ permissions, community engagement has never been easier than it is using the Six Circles platform.
