🚀 Pro Tip: All of our mini-training sessions are available via the Help Center in the Webinar Library section.

 

Quick Takeaways:

  • Safari Portal's iframe element has been updated to support both embed codes and direct links, making it easier to add interactive content to proposals, itineraries, and content pages.
  • Users can now embed maps from Google Maps, Google My Maps, Ride with GPS, and Mapbox, giving more flexibility in visual trip planning.
  • The update also allows embedding interactive walkthroughs or private videos using Arcade, which is especially helpful for guides like visa instructions or personal welcome messages without using platforms like YouTube or Vimeo.
  • Additional use cases include embedding live forms from Typeform, scheduling links from Calendly, countdown timers from TickerCounter, and live weather from Wunderground. Not all websites support iframe embedding, so some trial and error may be required.
  • Beyond the iframe updates, new functionality was highlighted in the dashboard. Users can now create multiple, timestamped notes on each file, which are editable and deletable by the person who added them.
  • Files also support attachments, allowing users to upload and store documents like quotes, costings, or guest info all in one place.
  • In the Financials module, client invoices can be created from templates that remember payment schedules, company details, and terms. The system auto-calculates due amounts and dates, supports cost breakdowns, and enables automated payment reminders.
  • Payments can be collected via Stripe or Flywire, with upcoming plans to integrate Flowbright for outbound payments to suppliers.
  • The Financials ledger provides visibility into projected profit, amounts owed or received, and bulk payment tracking.
  • Finally, the Safari Portal Academy has been updated with short video tutorials for each module, offering digestible training content and optional assignments. The Help Widget also includes direct access to the Academy, relevant articles, and options to contact support, book calls, or report bugs.
