True to form, this year has been busy for the Instapage team. Highlighted by Personalization, responsive page experiences, and AMP custom code, Instapage continues its mission to be the post-click landing page platform of choice for enterprise teams and agencies.
We’re happy to announce the following updates to the app — one for enterprise customers creating AMP experiences and the other for all customers’ workflow.
Advanced AMP Custom Code Validation
Way back in May 2018, Instapage was the first in the industry to offer AMP landing page functionality. Then, in February 2019, we introduced AMP custom code to allow digital marketers even more customizability during the design process. Today is the next evolution of the Instapage AMP builder: the Advanced AMP Custom Code Validation.
This streamlines the authentication workflow by adding a new validation button in the builder, providing you with the option to validate custom code as you create customized AMP page experiences.
How the custom code validator works
1. Red vs green dot
A red dot next to the in-builder Validation button indicates your AMP custom code has not been validated yet but also shows when the page experience has gone through validation and failed. If validation is successful, the dot turns green:
AMP custom code passed validation
Keep in mind the indicator is more of a helpful tool as you create a page, not a statement that the page can’t be published (because the page might include valid code, just hasn’t passed validation yet).
2. Error codes
Just like the standard validator, when unsupported code is detected, you will see a list of raw error codes with a link to the official library of supported AMP components. There, you can reference and find details on the invalid codes:
