Purple Manager
New version of the Purple Importer
What is it about? 👀
In response to recent incidents affecting import throughput times for the ingest of E-paper content, we now released a new version of the Purple Importer. This update brings significant improvements, ensuring smoother daily import processes and minimizing application errors.
What has changed?
1. Optimized Processing Logic:
We have improved import job processing to reduce errors and ensure smooth daily operations. By evenly distributing processing capacity, we prevent overwhelming the queue with mass uploads. Additionally, we prioritize items scheduled for publication within the next two days, regardless of their set priority.
2. Enhanced Architecture:
To avoid slowdowns during peak loads, we have upgraded the Purple Importer to a stronger architecture, enhancing its performance and dependability. The new setup on cutting-edge infrastructure accelerates import jobs and adds flexibility, ensuring you a smooth operation even during high volumes of simultaneous imports.
These measures were implemented promptly to rectify recent incidents and to ensure the uninterrupted operation of our import processes. With these enhancements, we remain committed to providing you with a robust and efficient import experience.

💡Inspiration: IP whitelisting to unlock all your content What is it about? 👀
We are happy to introduce you to three use cases that can significantly increase your reach in just a few effortless steps. IP whitelisting, available in Purple Manager, allows you to import a list of (static) IP addresses to grant exclusive admission to your content. Your Readers using Purple App or Purple Web from these whitelisted IP addresses will enjoy a friction-free experience without login credentials or registration. All content, including subscription based content, will be automatically unlocked for your whitelisted users.
Your benefits 🤓
-
Introduce corporate subscriptions
The ability to whitelist entire organisations can generate extra revenue when selling corporate subscriptions to major customers. All you need to do is whitelist the (static) IP range of the company. Your client's employees can then seamlessly view all of your content when accessing your offerings over their corporate network. Granting access to remote workstations is possible by using a VPN and configuring it to operate with static IPs. -
Whitelist your editorial team
By whitelisting your editorial team via your newsroom's IP range, you give them access to your content without credentials. A low-hanging fruit to save your valued team a few minutes here and there and ensure they can access all your contents any time when opening them from your network. -
Whitelist the Google Bot
Another quick win is the whitelisting of the Google Bot to make it crawl your restricted content. The super cool result is that Google will index all your content and show it in its search results, even if it's behind a paywall or login. Promoting even your paid/restricted articles by indexing them in Google increases your reach and eventually gets new users to buy subscriptions or follow your offers.
Key facts 🔑
- The setup is easy and can be done by 'App Admins' in Purple Manager - there will be no re-submit of the app required.
- IP whitelisting rather is an enterprise use case as it only works for static IPs (like in companies). Most private users have dynamic IPs that change every 24 hours.
