FluentCRM 3.1.0: WordPress 7.0 AI Support, Better Gutenberg Editing, and Workflow Refinements

Just a week ago, we released FluentCRM 3.0, one of the biggest updates in FluentCRM’s history. And as always, many of you started sharing smaller but incredibly important feedback:

• Make the editor smoother
• Improve Gutenberg stability
• Refine the footer experience
• Reduce UI inconsistencies

Honestly, we love these kinds of conversations!

Once the foundation is in place, refinement becomes everything. And that’s exactly what FluentCRM 3.1.0 is about.

This release improves the overall editing experience, introduces official WordPress AI support for WordPress 7.x, refines AI workflows, improves scheduling reliability, and makes the new Gutenberg-powered experience significantly smoother.

Let’s take a look!

WordPress 7.0 AI Support

One of the biggest additions in FluentCRM 3.1.0 is official WordPress AI support for WordPress 7.0.

As WordPress itself continues evolving its AI infrastructure, we want FluentCRM to evolve alongside it. This improvement ensures better compatibility with the latest WordPress AI ecosystem and lays a stronger foundation for future AI-assisted workflows inside FluentCRM.

More importantly, it reinforces something we strongly believe in: Your CRM, automations, and AI-powered workflows should live inside your own WordPress environment, not scattered across disconnected external tools.

Alongside WordPress AI support, we also improved overall AI model handling and reliability throughout the platform.

AI Improvements and Smarter AI Workflows

AI is becoming increasingly useful inside marketing workflows. But only when it feels reliable and natural. That’s why this release includes several important AI-focused refinements.

AI Contact Summaries Now Respect Locale & Language

One issue we noticed after 3.0 was that AI-generated summaries didn’t always respect the user’s locale properly. That creates friction for multilingual teams and international businesses.

Now, AI contact summaries respect your configured language and locale settings, creating a much more natural experience for non-English workflows. 

Improved Auto AI Model Handling

We also improved the automatic AI model selection flow and added support for Gemini 3.5 Flash. This improves model reliability, fallback handling, AI response consistency, and compatibility with modern AI providers

Better Footer Editing and Email Customization

One thing we noticed after FluentCRM 3.0 is that many users wanted more flexibility and customizability for their email footers. So we focused heavily on improving the footer editing experience in this release.

SmartCode Insert Menu in Footer Editor

If you regularly personalize email footers with dynamic content, copy-pasting each smartcodes from the editor isn’t ideal. That’s why we added a quick smartcode insert menu directly inside the footer editor.

Now, you can quickly insert dynamic values like contact information, unsubscribe links, business details, or custom personalization shortcodes inside your email footers

Visual/Text Mode for Custom Footer Editing

Different users prefer different editing workflows. Some prefer visual editing. Others want direct HTML control.

FluentCRM 3.1.0 now includes both Visual and Text editing modes inside the custom footer editor, giving you more flexibility while designing and customizing email footers.

Especially useful for advanced layouts and custom email styling.

Font Family Selector Added to Footer Editor

Brand consistency matters. Especially for newsletters, ecommerce emails, onboarding sequences, and customer communication. You can now choose font families directly inside the footer editor without relying on custom CSS workarounds.

Gutenberg Refinements Across FluentCRM

FluentCRM is moving deeper into a Gutenberg-first future. FluentCRM 3.0 introduced major infrastructure changes. FluentCRM 3.1.0 focuses heavily on refining that experience.

• Improved Gutenberg Asset Loading and Caching: We improved caching behavior and Gutenberg asset loading flow across the platform. In practical terms, this means faster editing, smoother transitions, and reduced unnecessary asset loading.
• Better Gutenberg Block Recovery: Many users reported issues recovering Gutenberg blocks. This became almost a frustrating experience after the FluentCRM 3.0 release. FluentCRM 3.1.0 improves automatic block recovery behavior significantly.
• Improved Conditional Block Rendering: We also fixed an issue where conditional blocks could suppress iframe-only or media-only content unexpectedly. This ensures media-focused blocks render more consistently across workflows.

Other Footer and Gutenberg Fixes

Several additional Gutenberg-related refinements are also included:

• Footer disable toggle behavior
• Product email block spacing inconsistencies
• SmartCode URL rendering issues
• Gutenberg canvas link color preset fixes
• Compose navigation rendering improvements
• Multiple editor UI fixes and refinements

Together, these refinements make email building and rendering much more predictable.

Better Performance and Scheduling Reliability

Because marketing automation isn’t just about features. It’s about reliability.

One thing we continuously focus on inside FluentCRM is making sure the platform scales properly as businesses grow. That’s why FluentCRM 3.1.0 includes several under-the-hood improvements focused on performance and reliability.

Improved Scheduled Email Processing

We’ve improved the reliability and performance of scheduled email processing to help campaigns execute more consistently. This is especially important for users running large broadcasts and automation-heavy workflows.

Workflow and Automation Reliability Fixes

This release also includes several important workflow-related fixes:

• Custom Fields inside Advanced Filters are now searchable
• Automation trigger registration timing fixes
• Campaign A/B subject validation fixes
• Campaign recipients table layout improvements
• Action dropdown placement fixes
• Multi-select popover spacing improvements
• WordPress admin menu visibility fixes

These are the kinds of refinements that make FluentCRM feel smoother and more dependable over time.

A Release Focused on Refinement and Stability

Great software isn’t only built through major launches. It’s built through constant refinement. FluentCRM 3.1.0 may not be the kind of release that introduces one giant flashy feature. But in many ways, these are the updates that matter most long term.

Our goal is still to build the most capable WordPress-native marketing automation platform possible. And honestly, we’re just getting started!

Thank you again for all the feedback, testing, bug reports, and ideas since the 3.0 launch. Every conversation helps shape what FluentCRM becomes next.
