FluentCRM 2.6.5: The Update You All Wanted!

Drag & drop visual template builder

Your struggle to get your emails right stops now!

Yes, we’re finally introducing the power of drag-and-drop email editing —along with the previous options!

We would love to thank our audience for your patience, and now you don’t need to look for any third-party apps for developing attractive emails. We have added a visual template builder to make things easier for you.

Say goodbye to the struggling days of building an email, and let’s explore what our new visual template builder has to offer:

Simply hit the Visual Editor while you’re composing your email to start designing your emails, —VISUALLY!

On your very right, you’ll get four editing options. Let’s explore them in detail. 

1. Blocks

In the block section, you’ll get various editing options. Before diving deep into how they can help, the good news is that all options are drag and drop. So all you’ll need to do is drag the desired option and drop it in your email body. 

As you can see in the picture, quite a few types of blocks are available. 

• Columns: This block will help you set up columns; you can even set different colors for the columns.
• Buttons: To use buttons on your email body, simply drag the button field. It will allow you to add links, and you can specify whether the button should take someone to a new tab or not. 
• Divider: Want to portray your email body in two sections? Utilizing a divider can help you with that. 
• Heading: Using the heading field, you can easily add headings to your email body. You can even choose the heading type and the font style. 
• HTML: If you need to use HTML codes in your email body, that can be done using the HTML block. 
• Image: Adding images to your email is just a matter of a few clicks when using the image blocks. You can use links as well in your image. 
• Menu: You can easily add multiple calls to actions using the menu block. You can either redirect the recipients to your website, make their email, call a number or send an SMS. 
• Text: Text block will take care of all of your writing needs. You can write paragraphs and style them as you want using this block. 

2. Layouts

The layout section will let you customize your email body in any format you want. You can choose from numerous options and select the perfect layout for your email body. Needless to say, you’ll get some ready-made content as well in this section. 

3. Global Style

You can customize the colors, background, width, alignment, and link colors in a global style. 

4. Stock Media

This is what you guys are going to love the most. You can find pretty much any stock media just by searching for it. And once you find the image you like, simply drag it and drop it in your email body. 

Using stock media, you can personalize your emails more convincingly. And if you click on the image, you’ll get the following customizing options. 

Email audit

Ever been in such a hurry that you composed an email and did everything right but forgot to insert the link inside? 

Well, we know it can happen. And that’s why our email audit will let you know if you forget to insert a link inside a button. Say you are emailing one of your customers on their birthday. 

Now, clicking preview will let you know if the button is missing a link. 

Helpful documentation

Given how feature-packed FluentCRM is, new users often need help to get the most out of our numerous features. We brought the helpful documentation feature to help our audiences navigate our plugin more easily. 

If you click on Emails, Forms, or automation, a sidebar will always be at your disposal to assist you with documentation on how to get something done. For example, let’s say you have clicked on automation from the FluentCRM dashboard. 

Now, if you look at the picture, you’ll see an icon next to the Import button. Click on it, and detailed documentation will be shown to you so you can easily create an automation. 

You’ll get this documentation support on other pages as well, including email campaigns, email sequences, email templates, Forms, etc., 

Better mobile optimization

Keeping your email automation running and updating will get easier now as you can do pretty much anything from the mobile. FluentCRM is now more optimized for mobiles, and you can navigate almost all the pages effortlessly. 

Duplicating conditional sections

A huge amount of imagination and planning goes into creating an automation, and often a part of automation might need repetitive use. This is why FluentCRM has always allowed duplicating any sections of automation.

Since the conditional feature was introduced recently, it did not have the clone button. But that’s fixed now, and you can easily clone a conditional section from any automation. Simply click on the three dots and select clone.
