Just about two months ago, we released a major product update, and guess what?
We are back with another exciting update!
We want to inform you that we are working relentlessly to make FluentCRM better and better. And to keep our promises alive, this update comes with lots of new exciting features, improved UI/UX, and performance improvement.
So, without further delay, let’s explore FluentCRM 2.8.3!
Company module upgrade
With each product update, FluentCRM comes with something exciting & notable. And in 2.8.3, we have brought a revolution in the company module!
Yes, that’s true. From now on, FluentCRM is ready to deliver an immersive experience to its users, helping them manage their B2B communications more efficiently.
So, what’s new inside the company module?
More Company column fields
In 2.8.3, the first thing you’ll notice in the company module is the addition of some useful company columns.
With each new unique field, you can easily sort the data and manage them. Also, you can use single or multiple fields to fetch information.
We believe the addition of these new columns will make the business management process easier and more smooth for you.
Improved company permission policy
We have improved the company permission policy in the CRM Manager setting. With this update, you can now assign CRM managers with specific permissions based on the company they belong to.
Company Applied Trigger
This product update comes with a new automation trigger which we call Company Applied.
What it’ll do?
You can use this automation trigger when a company is applied to a contact. For example, if a new employee joins your company you can apply this trigger to start sending company policy or update related emails to your employee.
So, start designing your own automation funnel with the Company Applied trigger.
Company Removed Trigger
Company Removed trigger does the opposite function of the Company Applied trigger. That means this trigger will run when a selected company has been removed from a contact.
For example, if an employee resigns from your organization you can apply this trigger to bid a good farewell just like the below automation-
Apply Company
If you want to add a contact to a specific company then the new action Apply Company will prove handy for your business.
Just go to the Actions Blocks and select Apply Company. Then it’ll ask you to select the company where you want to assign your contact. After selecting the company click on Save Settings to apply this action.
Remove From Company
Remove From Company is the opposite of the previously mentioned action. If you want to remove a contact from your company then all you need to do is select and enable this action.
So, draw your automation funnel and fire this action when required.
Company option for Incoming Webhook
Another exciting news is we have added the company option for the Incoming Webhook. So, you can change or modify the company information via webhooks. Also, you can receive external data and trigger action based on the company information. Sounds cool, isn’t it?
Custom email preference management page
It would be cool if you could create your own unique email preference management page, right? We listened to your heart and want to inform you that it’s possible now!

New Trigger: Contact Created
FluentCRM 2.8.3 comes with a new trigger called Contact Created. It’s a useful trigger to automate the journey of a new subscriber in your email list.
It’ll help you add new subscribers to your onboarding email sequence and nurture them to turn into paying customers. You can take the below automation example as an inspiration-

Navigation and UI improvements
We are working constantly to improve the user satisfaction and user interface of FluentCRM. Due to our continuous effort, we have brought some noticeable changes in the navigation and UI.
We have made the navigation of the email campaign more fluid and user-friendly. Because FluentCRM now supports going back to the previous stage of your email campaign setup.
With this update, you can go back to the previous stage of your email campaign setup and perform the required modification.
From 2.8.3 you’ll notice a massive change in the UI of FluentCRM. The Dashboard, Reports, and Automations are decorated in a new style and you are ready to view all the important statistics in an aesthetic way. Here’s a picture of our newly designed Dashboard-
We have also added a confirmation prompt in the Company Notes & Activity. From now on, if you perform any modification in the notes or activity of a contact then a confirmation prompt will appear before your eyes to confirm the changes. Here’s a snapshot-
Duplicate segment or export contacts
We know that segmentation plays a pivotal role in email marketing as it helps to reach your audience more specifically. And to reach your audience more efficiently we have added a very useful feature under Dynamic Segments.
With this cool feature, you can create a duplicate version of your existing dynamic segments or export these segments.
You can use the duplicate copy to modify and use without affecting the original segment. We hope it’ll give you flexibility and precision in your email marketing efforts.
Also, you can use the exported version of the dynamic segment for analyzing customer behavior, demographics, engagement patterns, etc. in detail. You can use it to make more accurate data-driven decisions.
