Layers
and Embeds
to all Steady projects! This highly anticipated update brings a fresh, modernized website integration and powerful tools to enhance your projects and build your funnel like never before. 🌟We’re especially excited to introduce the
Newsletter Sign-Up Layer
—a feature many of you have been eagerly awaiting! Check it out on our Demo Page to see it in action.What’s New?
- Rebuilt Website Integration: We’ve completely overhauled our website integration to align with modern tech standards. The new version is faster, more reliable, and designed to be future-proof, replacing the old widget that relied on outdated technologies like third-party cookies and iframes.
- Announcement Layer: Say goodbye to the old Steady bubble (“Floating Button”)! The new Announcement Layer allows you to share custom messages, link to your membership program, promote events, special offers, or highlight any content on your site with more flexibility and impact.
- Email Sign-Up Layer: Easily capture email addresses directly on your site with the new Email Sign-Up Layer. Whether you’re gathering leads for newsletters or membership offers, this tool syncs seamlessly with your Steady account, helping you grow your audience effortlessly.
You can now effortlessly expand your newsletter audience by adding subscribers from a multitude of sources using Zapier! Whether it’s leads from Google Ads, survey responses from Tally, contacts collected through your website builder, or even everyone who’s ever emailed you—there’s virtually no limit to how you can grow your list. 🌟
Important: Please ensure you have the necessary permissions to email these contacts. Additionally, all newly added subscribers will be required to double-opt-in to comply with anti-spam laws. ✅
What is Zapier?
Zapier is a powerful automation tool that connects your favorite apps, allowing you to automate workflows without needing any code. With over 3,000 app integrations, you can set up “Zaps”—automated workflows that trigger actions between different apps. For example, when a new lead is captured in Google Ads, Zapier can automatically add that contact to your newsletter subscriber list. This feature allows you to streamline processes and focus on what matters most—engaging with your audience!
- You can now choose to use the same credentials for OAuth and the Website Integration, if you're using both. This new advanced option is available in your API settings.
- We fixed a bug, where your members paying with Apple Pay through the Plans Embed weren't instantly redirected back to your website after a successful purchase.
- We fixed an issue where unread DMs weren't properly counted for some users.

Faster Email Sending
The Steady Community now sends out over 1.5 million emails a month – that's a lot!
To make sure they get sent quickly and reliably to your members' inboxes, we have made a lot of improvements and changes over the last few weeks, and we're continuing to fine-tune our email sending infrastructure.
We're saying goodbye to passwords and hello to one-time codes! After the switch, you’ll no longer need a password for Steady. Instead, you can log in with a code that we’ll send to your email address.
Why are we doing this?
Our goal is to make your experience on Steady easier, more seamless and, above all, secure.
- Easy Access: Creating an account and logging in to manage your memberships and access content should be straightforward and stress-free. One-time codes make it super simple to log in and manage your memberships, so you can focus on your content.
- Seamless Imports: More and more media makers are moving their membership community to Steady. Previously, people had to set up their password before they could access their membership benefits after a migration. Now, they’ll just sign in with their email address – easy!
- Better Security: One-time codes add an extra layer of protection against sneaky tactics like password reuse and stuffing attacks. These attacks involve strangers attempting to log in to Steady accounts using passwords that were leaked from insecure platforms. Plus, this system will notify you if someone is attempting to access your account.
You only need to enter the code once per device or browser. After that, you will remain logged in until you choose to log out. Please note that a new login method will be introduced gradually over the next few weeks. You may not see it immediately.
Our good friends at podcaster.de have just launched their Steady integration. From now on you can publish exclusive episodes on Steady directly in your backend, just like normal episodes. Just click on the arrow next to the "Create episode" button and select "Publish to Steady".
Following our recent discussion in the Slack Community, we've implemented a new feature: a Drip Campaign Trigger for "Trial converted to paid." This new trigger allows you to set up automated campaigns that activate when a member transitions from a trial period to a paid membership.
With this feature, you can now send special offers and tailored communications specifically after a member starts paying. This is a great opportunity to engage your audience right at the moment they commit to your membership, enhancing their experience and potentially increasing their long-term loyalty.
We've made a further improvement to the Member CSV export. It now contains the Plan ID, to make it easier for you to differentiate between different plans, even if they have the same name.
This was requested by Julian in our Slack Community – thank you for the feedback!
Ever been annoyed by the phrase "(opens in a new tab)" sneakily attaching itself to the links you were copying? 🤔 Well, we've got some good news for you! 😃
We've been working diligently to find a solution that would not only improve your copy-pasting experience but also maintain our commitment to accessibility. We're happy to say that we've found a way to prevent the phrase from being copied along with the link, while still keeping it for our screenreader-enabled friends. 🔧😇
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused in the past, and we're grateful for your patience and understanding. 🤝😌
