OttoKit July 2025 Update: New Onboarding, Custom API Support , & Facebook Login/SignUp


We’ve launched a powerful new update aimed at making OttoKit smarter, more intuitive, and user-friendly. This release brings significant improvements across onboarding, integrations, and the overall user experience. Here’s a detailed look at what’s new:


New Onboarding Flow with 14-Day Business Trial


We’ve completely redesigned the onboarding experience to help new users get started quickly and explore OttoKit’s powerful features right from the beginning.

Key Highlights:


  • Simplified 3-Step Registration: The signup process is now streamlined into three quick steps that collect only essential user details.
  • Smart Plan Redirection: After completing the third step, users are guided to a pricing page (Step 4) where they can explore available plans or continue with the Free Plan.
  • 14-Day Free Business Trial (Surprise for Free Users): If a user selects the Free Plan, they’re presented with a surprise no-commitment 14-day Business Trial at the final step—allowing them to explore advanced features firsthand.
  • Flexible Plan Choice: Users can either opt-in for the trial or proceed with the Free Plan—no pressure, just flexibility.

This onboarding flow ensures a smooth start while helping users unlock the full potential of OttoKit from day one.


Facebook Login & Sign-Up Support

We’ve made it even easier to join OttoKit with integrated Facebook login and sign-up options.

What’s New:


  • One-Click Access: Log in or sign up instantly using your existing Facebook credentials.
  • No Extra Passwords: Eliminate the need to remember another username and password.
  • Smooth Onboarding: Enjoy a faster and simpler entry into OttoKit with minimal setup.

This update removes barriers to entry and enhances the overall convenience for new users.


Custom API Endpoint (Available in Most Apps)

Custom API support has now been added to nearly all OttoKit apps (excluding Core and WordPress apps), providing greater flexibility for users to go beyond predefined actions.

Why It Matters:


  • Custom API Calls: While each app includes standard endpoints, external services often update or add new ones. If a required endpoint is missing in the native app, users can now define their own using the Custom API action.
  • Endless Integration Possibilities: This feature empowers developers and advanced users to create custom actions, connect with evolving APIs, and expand the platform’s capabilities.
Perfect for building advanced and tailored workflows.
