Squarespace Integration

This month, we launched our Squarespace integration, so you can increase conversions across every stage of the purchase funnel with your Squarespace data. Plus, we launched Knowledge Base and made improvements to our integrations with Salesforce and BigCommerce.

  • Squarespace integration  —  Drive more orders and repeat customers with timely, personalized journeys triggered by your Squarespace data.

  • Knowledge Base — Give your customers the support they need with our no-code article builder, which includes AI translations, AI search, custom branding, and more.

  • Salesforce integration  —  It’s now easier to split the contact and lead selective sync filter. Plus, we’ve improved the naming format for synced campaign-related activities.

  • BigCommerce integration  —  Sync custom fields from BigCommerce into Ortto.

  • Journey builder — Now you can set a timeout on filter shapes, and apply throttling to SMS sends to distribute traffic to your website and support.

  • Email campaign tracking — Track the performance of your email campaign links using the raw URL.

  • Pre-filled form data — Simplify the form process for your customers with pre-filled data or hidden fields.

  • Reporting — Apply a two-week filter to reports to match your company reporting cycle.

We’re excited to announce Knowledge Base, a no-code article builder for teams to publish and maintain multilingual support content. This much-requested feature joins our omnichannel engagement solution, Talk, making it easier than ever to self-serve faster answers to customer questions.

Knowledge Base includes:

  • AI translations – write an article and have it translated automatically into other supported languages.

  • AI search – type a question in natural language and get an answer based on content in your articles.

  • Custom branding – use your fonts, logo and domain to make knowledge base your own.

  • Multimedia – add gifs, images, and videos.

  • Text formatting – add buttons, callouts, code blocks, bullet lists and more.

  • Categories – structure content into categories for easier navigation and searching.

  • Escalation – route users to an agent if their problems aren’t resolved and record feedback so articles can be improved.

  • Version control – see a history of any changes made and revert back to past article versions.


Knowledge base is included with all Ortto plans and customers can import existing documentation via our integrations with popular support solutions.

This update includes a number of enhancements to core features such as functionality to allow for more complex Journeys and a new UI for creating Capture Widgets. We’ve also added an Intercom integration and enhanced Talk features, based on feedback from Talk beta users. 

  • Use “Jump shapes” to connect a Journey shape to another path, without recreating the path again.

  • Journey conditions and filters can apply a "since entering journey" criteria on all activity-based filters.

  • Use the Intercom integration to automatically sync your contacts (people), companies (organizations), conversations, and selected teams and agents to Ortto.

  • Export a transcript of a Talk conversation from the Inbox.

  • Use Ortto Unique Identifiers for merging Stripe contacts.

  • You now have the option to automatically archive records in Ortto who no longer meet the "selective sync" criteria with Salesforce, Pipedrive, Intercom and Hubspot.

  • The "Task" object in a Salesforce data source is no longer treated as a default (i.e. mandatory) object for syncing.

  • You can now copy/paste formatted text into a Talk conversation.

  • We’ve introduced a new and improved UI when creating a Capture Widget from scratch – including “preview” functionality for manually entered liquid code. 

  • You can now see a "Winning" label on A/B test campaign variants when comparing open rate (rather than total opens).
