Sharing your project

• Share a temporary preview link

  You have the option to create a temporary preview link so you are able to show your inactive project to other people. Creating a preview link is pretty easy. In order to create a preview link, you have to publish your inactive project first. On the left side of the dashboard, you can click on Share project where a menu will appear with the temporary preview link. With this link, you can give someone temporary access to an inactive project for review.Few readers

• Access mobile preview with QR codes

  In order to quickly access the mobile version of a project, you can now create a QR code so that you only need to scan the code to view it on a mobile device. To create a QR code, you need to go to the project page overview or project settings and click on the QR code icon. Open your mobile phone's camera and scan the code to trigger to open the publication via the mobile's internet browser.

Embed your project

• Embedding your project

  Maglr offers extensive possibilities to embed a project within an external website. The method of embedding a project within a website depends entirely on the type of publication. You can embed the entire publication (where you need navigation controls), or choose a single formatted page that fits seamlessly into the layout of your website. Multi-page embed (publication) Embed the entire publication with all of its pages. This includes tPopular

• Embed a single page

  By embedding a single page, we extract the specific page from the Maglr project (without its navigation environment) and place this inside an external website. This can be done using webcomponents or iFrames (depricated). The way this page is shown depends on the type of design you have created. For example: is it just an infographic that needs to be added inside a blog article? Or is the project designed as a fullscreen page? These steps areSome readers

• Embed a multi-page publication

  Besides embedding a single page, you can also choose to embed a complete publication with several pages within a website. This embed contains the navigation environment to navigate through the different pages. If you choose to place such an embed within an existing website, it is important to think about the ease of use. A website itself already scrolls vertically. If you place an embed with multiplFew readers

• Automatic inject with webcomponents

  The standard option to embed something into your website is using iFrames. It's the same technique YouTube is using for embedding videos. The big advantage: the embedded content is 'separated' from the website itself. If content inside an iFrame is causing problems or errors, it doesn't affect the main page.  The downside of an iFrame is the fact that search engines don't really like them. Accessibility is not working as expected and when you design a page with complex scroll animations there iFew readers

• Overlay embed

  Like explained in the multi-page embed article, embedding a complete publication fullscreen within a website could cause usability problems. The scroll behaviour of the website can conflict with the scroll of the embedded publication, causing a visitor to leave the page as quick as possible.

• Analyse embed statistics

  When Google Analytics is activated in your navigation environment, the underlying published embeds for this domain will also use the same tracking code. Each embed using an iFrame (this is not the case for the inject version) is collecting and measuring data.  Analytics In Google Analytics, you can recognise these embeds on their unique page URLs (embed.maglr.com/Nnf7dhdX). This is the same code that is used inside the embed code. Using this code/hash, you can create filters inside the GoFew readers

• Start iFrame scrolling into view (Plugin)

  When you have created one or multiple embeds of a long scrolling page that contain timed animations, you might see a problem. The animations inside the embed could have already started, even before they appear on screen. By default, an iFrame loaded through our embed code is starting directly. This could depend on the type of browser, as Google Chrome is getting more intelligent and only loads the content when it appears on screen (but is not always consistent).  Plugin To solve this probleFew readers

Gated content

• Configure a content gate

  Maglr offers multiple options to secure projects at different levels. This can be done with a password, a secret link or via oAuth. You can also partially secure a project, forcing a viewer to identify themselves in order to make the entire publication available. This feature is called gated content, mostly used for lead generation when distributing content like white papers, premium articles and magazines (https://www.maglr.com/createSome readers

• Content gate with form

  In this variant of a content gate we place a layer over a publication containing a form. You can build this form in different ways with our forms module and determine when this form has to appear. You can also determine whether the form is mandatory or if it can be closed without registering. The purpose of this module is to use your publications to acquire leads via your the data of your viewers. This is only possible if the information in the document is interesting and/or useful enouFew readers

• Content gate with pro page

  With a Pro content gate you are, just like the standard variant, able to place a form over the publication. If you have additional information or campaign material that you want to show next to the form, you can do so via a separate micro content project. The Pro content gate allows you to design a page in the Pro editor that is superimposed on the publication, together with the form. This can be a transparent fullscreen page or scrolling long read. Like the form option, you can stilFew readers

• Gated publication behind a landing page

  A third option is not to partially release the publication, but to shield it completely with a separate landing page. After completing the form on this landing page, the visitor will be redirected to the intended publication. This can be a redirect to a secure link or a publication with a secret URL. Depending on the form used (Maglr form or integrated form with Hubspot, Pardot, Mailchimp or Marketo) you can also send the link to the underlying publication through their automation e-mails.Few readers

• Measure content gate

  When using a content gate, additional events are measured within Google Analytics or sent to the datalayer for Google Tag Manager. With these events you can see how the content gate is performing.  The events below are fired: Gate-activated: fired when the content gate is shown on screen. This will be measured per publication. Gate-closed-manually: when it is possible for a user to manually close the content gate, this event is sent when the user clicks the close buttFew readers

• Gated content f.a.q.

  How secure is a content gate? A content gate is a low level security feature. Do not use this functionality for important documents, as we offer more advanced security features for these situations. We partially open the information to search engines and close some pages (depending on your content gate configuration) for the viewer. By choosing this configuration, very clever developers know how to hack the document and extract the content. We have deliberately chosen this setup.  How cFew readers

SEO & social share metadata

• Maglr and SEO

  An interactive publication created in Maglr needs to engage, inform or convert its readers. The way in which companies are using Maglr is very different. In most cases, they send their publications and content to their customers (outbound). Content in the form of customer magazines, annual reports or staff magazines that are shared with a specific target audience via email, social media or intranet (public or secure). Another approach is to share your specific content and knowledge and attractSome readers

• Setup the correct metadata

  Creating the right metadata for your publications will help tell your users what your publication is about. The title tag and meta description are HTML attributes that provide a short preview of a Maglr project and its pages. The page titles and descriptions will appear in the search query when a published project is shown or when it is shared as a separate link on social media. The content of this preview is normally automatically filled based on the content of a page.  But you have the abilitySome readers

Insights in statistics

• Statistics with Maglr

  Statistics are automatically measured for every project you publish in Maglr. Statistics consist of pageviews and user interactions (events). Statistics are measured after a project is set live and can be viewed via the dashboard. Simple statistics within our dashboard Internal module within the dashboard where we show the performance of a project in a simplified overview. How do you read the statistics from our dashboardFew readers

• Understanding the Dashboard Statistics

  Once you have created and shared your publication, you obviously want to know how it is performing in terms of visited pages, time per session and interactions. It is important to know what your audience likes to read and view. To determine the success of online publications, we have created a standard analytics dashboard that will visualize the data so that you can analyze the metrics quick & easy.Some readers

• Event tracking in Maglr publications

  Our platform is tracking all sorts of events, depending on the user behaviour inside a page or navigation environment. Downloads, link clicks, form submissions and video plays are all examples of actions you might want to analyse as Events. These events are used for our local dashboard statistics, as well as Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager (datalayer). Events are measured in all publication types: Publications, Single pages and embeds.Some readers

• Create custom selections with Google Analytics

  Google Analytics is one of the most used website statistic apps but it can be hard to find the information you are looking for. In this article, we will explain the basics so you know exactly how many people visited your publication and where these visitors came from. But first you have to make sure that you have integrated Google Analytics into your Maglr account.Few readers

• Connect Maglr events with Google Tag Manager

  When you have linked GTM with Maglr, you are able to add code to a publication or forward data from a publication to external tools. This document explains how to forward event information from a Maglr publication, using the Google Tag Manager data layer, to a third-party application. In this example we use Google Analytics but the same concept can be applied to other systems where you want to forward events from Maglr.

• Connect Maglr to Hubspot (via GTM)

  Google Tag Manager can be used to set up all types of custom codes and integrations for your Maglr publications. This allows you to forward specific statistics & viewer data directly to Hubspot. Hubspot tracking code First, you have to add the 'Hubspot tracking code' to your GTM environment. This will allow you to track the visitors of your Maglr publications. Copy the code below and replace the hubId with your own unique 'Hubspot Hub ID'.Few readers

• Fire GTM triggers on element visibility

  All projects, pages, scenes & elements will receive a specific ‘id’ when they’re published to a live URL with Maglr. You can use GTM then to fire triggers based on these element ID’s in order to track actions, such as: Scene views Element views Specific scroll depth Pop-ups clicked Finding Scene & Element ID's In order to retrieve these ID's, we need to dive into the HTML-code of our project.

• Track embed events with GTM (inside your website)

  With Maglr, it is possible to embed separate pages or complete publications into your corporate website.  Using Analytics or GTM inside the iFrame When using a Maglr page or publication as embed, regular tracking (through our global statistics or custom GTM / analytics code) will still work. The pageviews will be different, because the publication is running on a different iFrame domain (embed.maglr.com/ CODE ).

Export & sync your projects

• Downloading your project as a PDF (Pro only)

  A Maglr publication is an interactive web document that lives on a url. Therefore, it’s format is not directly translatable to a PDF if you consider that it can contain elements like multimedia, animations, pop ups, forms, and so on. Similarly, you would not save a website as a PDF. For Pro pages, we were able to create a solution that (to an extent) can convert your Maglr publication to a static PDF export.

• Download your publication as ZIP

  A publication set up with Maglr is hosted by default on the servers of the Maglr platform. During construction, you upload the various assets and merge them into an interactive project. With an annual license it is possible to download and host these publications yourself. For this we offer different export options, depending on how you want to use the publication. If you run an annual Maglr license, you will see the option to download the project in the project settings. Export to ZIP is oSome readers
