Update

We updated our Twitter integration to address the recent breaking changes in the Twitter API:

• This update requires all Twitter accounts to be connected again - this can be done in your account's Settings -> Integrations tab.

• Twitter API is no longer free and brings on new limits, which is why the integration feature is now only available in the Pro plan.

New Twitter API is not free from glitches, but we are closely monitoring the situation.

Until today you could only trigger the widget popover only by clicking on the badge, but sometimes it makes sense to toggle the popover from an external link, say like we do above, with the Release notes link.

Getting it implemented is really simple, just add the trigger option to the widget config, the value can be any selector (for example, .widgetTrigger or #toggle-headway-widget).

The full config would look like this:

let HW_config = {
  account: "...",
  selector: "...",
  trigger: ".externalTrigger"
}

For more configuration options see our widget documentation.

This year we started periodically generating SSL certificates for all custom domains. We want security and privacy to be important features of Headway.

Now we are happy to announce that the process has been fully automated and within minutes new custom domains start serving traffic over secure https protocol.

Check out our updated documentation to see how you can configure your own custom domain.
