Plus a few enhancements and bug fixes: The Feed will now default to the All tab Draft comments will no longer disappear when scrolling in Feed or on the activity tab. Embedded forms: Now you can choose to embed your form standalone on a webpage – without the widget. 💡 Tip: We recommend you place both the widget and the embedded form on your website.

Improved navigation: Easily drag and drop cards between stages without any hiccups. Quick access to related information: Quickly access full details of related entities directly from list views.

Android mobile: Enhanced email personalization: We’ve added new categorized merge fields and expanded the supported fields in the email composer. Inline images: You can now insert and customize inline images in your emails. Plus, we squashed some bugs: Account Owners and Admins can now edit saved filters. You'll no longer receive email tracking notifications for your own emails. Filters using Connect fields now return correct results. More users can now edit custom fields from entity tables. Lead tags will now carry over to converted Opportunities and Companies. Filters based on "Text" custom fields now provide accurate results.

Custom merge fields in email templates: now activated! 🚀

Hello Coppernauts, Get ready to take your email outreach to the next level with our latest update – it’s a juicy one! We're excited to announce that your custom fields can now be added to email templates, allowing you to personalize your messages at scale and standardize outreach– all within your saved template library! 👀 The deets: Merge fields in email templates: You can now use custom merge fields in your email templates. Yippee! Expanded merge field options: In addition to your custom Leads, People, Companies, and Pipelines fields, we’ve unlocked new base fields like Lead Value, Person Description, and Company Contact Type. Boosted user experience: The merge field dropdown has been revamped to organize fields by entity, making it easier to find and insert the right information – and fast. ❓What can you use custom merge fields for? This is a popular customer request , and it’s not hard to see why! Imagine sending out a generic email to hundreds of prospects. Now, imagine sending the same amount of emails, but personalizing each email with relevant details specific to each recipient. That's the power of custom merge fields! By standardizing your outreach with merge fields in templates, you can ensure that every email you send is relevant, engaging, and tailored to your audience. Strengthen connection and trust: Personalizing messages with custom merge fields adds a more human touch, making recipients feel valued; inspiring trust and confidence between you and your audience. Boosted open and response rates: Emails that are personalized often have higher open and response rates. When people see their name or relevant details, they're more likely to be engaged. Keep it relevant: Including relevant details to the recipient's interests, company or the relationship you have with them makes the communication more meaningful, increasing the chances that the recipient will take action. Reminder: how to add merge fields to your email templates Create or edit an email template. Click the "+" icon or type "#" to insert a merge field. Select the desired merge field from the dropdown menu. ✔️ Best practices Use merge fields strategically: Personalizing email copy leads to improved results and can help you avoid getting caught in spam filters when sending out templates multiple times in bulk emails and automations. Double-check your backup text: Ensure you have backup text for your merge fields so that the emails display properly if there’s no value for that contact. For example, add a backup of "there" for "#FirstName" and your email will read "Hi there!". Track performance (Professional & Business plans only): Monitor open rates, click-through rates, and other metrics to measure the effectiveness of your personalized emails. To learn more about Click Tracking (newly released, might I add!) click here. 🚨 Good to know Similar to how Workflow Automation works, field names are fixed once inserted into an email template. We've implemented a new rule: all fields in email templates must have unique names. This prevents conflicts and ensures accurate merging. If you send an email template with Pipeline merge fields to a person, Copper will do its best to automatically determine the appropriate deal. Our intelligent logic can handle various scenarios. These new features are rolling out everywhere you send emails from Copper: the web app, the mobile app, the Chrome Extension, and Email Automations. Copper's newly added merge fields in emails offer a powerful way to personalize your email outreach even further than before. Start using them today and see the difference! Leave us a comment below and let us know how you’re using the new merge fields! 🤓 ❗️TEASER ALERT: We know there is another piece to the puzzle here… Pipeline Email Automations. Imagine automating outreach based on Pipeline stages… a feature that could be landing sooner than you think. Much sooner! Think before the end of the year 🤪 Stay tuned. To merge fields, Amie

No more guessing — click tracking is here for the Business plan

We’re a little over halfway through a stellar 2024 at Copper, and we’ve been delivering on the vision we laid out at the beginning of the year 🚀 while also adding some surprises along the way. Today we’ve begun rolling out another surprise feature, and this time it’s a treat for our Business plan customers 🎁 👏 Automatic click tracking for emails sent from Copper 👏 Picture this…you’re sending project critical information to customers, and you need peace of mind that the message has been received. But open rates don’t show interest or intent. Now, with automatic click tracking, it’s easier than ever to keep tabs on the critical information you share with your customers. How you can use this feature 👀 Gauge a prospect’s interest and intent Contracts Statements of work The new #BookingLink merge field 🚀 Keep stakeholders on track Designs that need sign off Stakeholder approvals 🚩 Recognize friction in your feedback process If you’re sending surveys to qualify leads, assess project requirements, or collect feedback, click tracking can help identify friction points. High open rates but low clicks may indicate the email copy needs improvement. If both open and click-through rates are high but survey responses are low, consider refining the survey questions. You must be on the Business plan and have Email Tracking enabled for open tracking and click tracking to work. Double-check this in Settings > Personal Preferences > Email Settings & Templates, then scroll down to Email Tracking. How it works When you insert a hyperlink into an email in the Copper web or mobile app, Copper replaces the hyperlink with one that has a tracking token — but don’t worry, there’s no impact on your link, it’ll still go to the right place. Copper will then automatically track clicks as long as the email is sent from Copper. Clicks on a link will be automatically tracked if: The link is added to the email or email template via the Insert Link option in the toolbar of the email composer You place a merge field with type = URL in an email or email template (this includes the new #BookingLink merge field!) The link is a hyperlink added to an inline image in an email or email template The email is sent from Copper: this means the email is sent from the web app or the mobile app Links in emails sent from the Chrome Extension, including links in email templates inserted in the Chrome Extension, are not tracked More info in the FAQ section below Where you can see clicks Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered. There are multiple places where you can view the clicks on links within your emails. We’ve added click tracking alongside open tracking, making it easy to find this new feature. Wherever you see the open envelope icon on an email activity In the web app and Chrome Extension, you’ll see an open envelope icon if there are email impressions — including opens or clicks. Open envelope icon on an email activity Clicks and opens on the email activity In the mobile app, you’ll see a link if there are impressions on your email. Click in to see the opens or clicks. Email impressions in the mobile app In My Tracked Emails From the left-hand navigation of the web app, you’ll be able to see emails with click tracking right alongside open tracking. Hover over the open envelope icon to see the email impressions — including opens or clicks. You now have a new filter for Link Clicked in the upper right. New Filter in My Tracked Emails As part of outreach metrics for your email automations We’ve revamped the automations details panel to give you at-a-glance insight into how your outreach is performing. Here’s what’s new: New Clicked Links Tab: See the percentage of contacts who clicked a link, along with the specific link and date for each contact New Opens Tab: View the percentage of contacts who opened your email and the specific step they opened Updated Tab Headers: To Send: Shows the number of contacts queued vs. the total in the automation Sent: Displays the number of contacts emailed vs. the total in the automation Replied: Shows the percentage and count of contacts who replied Errors: Displays the percentage and count of contacts with deliverability issues Email Outreach Metrics FAQs Will it show clicks per recipient? Recipients are not given unique links to click. The tracking token is on the link itself. Anyone who clicks the link will have their click tracked, including you. This shouldn’t be an issue for the 1x1 emails you send from Copper, including bulk emails and email automations — just don’t go into your Sent folder in Gmail and click the link yourself 😀 Will it track multiple links in an email? Yes! Any links in your email will be tracked, provided they are intentionally added as links as detailed above. What about existing email templates? You’ll want to delete and re-add any hyperlinked text, hyperlinked images, and/or URL merge fields to any email templates you created prior to this release. We are not able to retroactively add tracking tokens to links in email templates created prior to the release. Need more info? We have a new help center article on the feature you can check out here. Let us know what you think! Share your feedback and questions in the comments below — we want to hear from you 👀 Cheers, Maggie

Copper Forms: introducing Fields!

We've been cranking out new features these past few months (thanks for keeping us on our toes!), but this one's a game-changer. We know this is the release you’ve been waiting for. This update enables you to capture the data you need to move a new relationship forward. Say goodbye to hodgepodge solutions Many of you struggle with complex form builders and integrating submissions into Copper. We hear you loud and clear. Now, Forms lets you: Add existing custom fields to your form: No more maps or zaps — seamlessly integrate your custom data directly into Copper. Change display labels for a better user experience: Customize form field labels to match your brand voice without disrupting the field names in Copper. Rearrange, and remove fields with ease: Drag and drop to create the perfect flow, ensuring a smooth user experience for your customers. Our brand new UI guides you through the process, making it easier than ever to create effective forms. Keep these tips in mind Automatic updates to Copper records ensures your data stays organized and up-to-date. Focus on a clear and concise form, as adding too many fields can overwhelm users. Keep it focused for a more valuable experience. We’ve updated our Help Center articles on creating a Lead capture form or a Contact (People) capture form , as well as published a new article on how your form fields map to Copper Check out the FAQ section for some more info 👇 Customer FAQs Can I embed the form on a specific page on my website? Currently no, you cannot embed the form standalone on a specific page. The form is delivered via the widget. However, you can specify a particular page for the widget to display on when you install it on your website. For example, if you have a Wordpress website you would follow all of the steps in our installation guide except for Step 8 . For Location you would change Site Wide Header to the specific page you’d like the widget to appear on. Can I have more than one form? I need to route potential customers and job applicants two different places Currently no, you can only have one form. However, you could create a custom field that would allow you to handle these inquiries in different ways. For example, if you create a custom field called “Interested in” and the options are “Hearing about services” and “Applying for a position”, you would then be able to use this field as a filter in your lists to create a List of form respondents who are potential customers and a list of form respondents who are job applicants. Can I mark fields as required? No - only the Full Name and Work Email fields are required. But we’re interested in hearing your feedback on this! Let us know in the comments or by submitting an idea . Would you prefer if a required field in Copper is also required on the form? Or would you prefer to set fields as required on the form, independent of whether they’re required in Copper? How does Copper handle Company matching for People records? First, if you’re using the Lead capture form , the Company field is plain text and can be added to your form. The below only applies to customers who have a Contact (People) capture form , as Leads and People behave differently in Copper. Currently, Copper has automatic Company matching if a new Person submits a form and we find an existing Company that is a match for the domain of their email address. For example, you have a company in Copper called “ACME Consultants” and a new Person submits a form with maggie@acmeconsultants.com as their entered email address. Copper has logic to take the email address and check it against existing domains in Copper. The result is that Maggie will be created as a new Person and related to the ACME Consultants company 🪄 Copper does not yet have automatic Company creation . This is coming in the next two weeks. When that it released, if a new Person submits a form and there is not an existing Company that matches the domain, Copper will create the Person and the Company and relate the two. We’ll circle back to this thread when this enhancement is released! As a reminder, Copper will not update the Name, Email, or Company if an existing Person submits a form (as in, the email address entered on the form is an exact match for an existing Person record in Copper). Get ready to build better Forms with Copper Jump into your Copper account and explore the power of Forms today! We're confident this update will streamline your form creation process and help you capture all of that valuable data. Let us know what you think! Share your feedback and questions in the comments below, you know Luke and Maggie will be on standby. 👀 Cheers, Amie at Copper

Coppernauts, you've been asking, and we’ve been listening. We're bursting with excitement to announce the launch of inline images to transform your email communication within Copper! As this new feature rolls out in the next couple of days, get ready to ditch dry, text-heavy emails and infuse your messages with visuals. Showcase your past projects, personalized greetings, or linked resources — inline images will captivate your audience and drive engagement like never before! 📣 We’re exploring use cases for inline images (plus many other exciting features) during our next Product Pulse webinar on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 at 10am PT / 1pm ET . You won’t want to miss this one! Sign up here. This means you can now: Spice up your emails! Add logos, charts, or even funny cat pictures (we’re not judging!) to grab attention and make your message more engaging. Boost clicks and conversions: Turn your images into clickable links that take recipients to your website, landing page, or any other relevant online destination. Make your emails accessible to everyone: Add alt text to your images, ensuring everyone can understand your message, even if they use screen readers or if the images can't be displayed. So, how can you use them? Inline images aren't just bells and whistles — they're a powerful communication tool! Here are some industry-specific ways to leverage them: Universal appeal: Celebrate milestones with a fun "Happy Birthday" graphic or a congratulatory graphic for a client's big win. Agencies: Showcase your portfolio directly in emails with captivating images, or send clear headshots and bios of your team (advisors, entertainers, etc.) for a strong first impression. Construction companies: Wow potential clients with images of completed projects or use them to streamline decision-making by including examples of finishes or materials directly in your emails. Consulting: Enhance client communication with screenshots for complex processes and link previews. These are just a few ideas to get you started. Unleash your creativity and use inline images to make your emails more engaging and informative across any industry. How to add inline images: Adding images is a breeze! You can choose from images stored on your computer or ones you've already saved within Copper. Here's a quick guide: Compose your email: Start by creating a new email from someone's profile, a Pipeline record, the Feed, the bulk email tool, or an email template. Click the "Add inline image" icon: This icon is readily available in all email composing interfaces. Choose your image: Select "Upload from Computer" to add a new image or "Add from Copper" to choose an existing one. That's it! Your image will be seamlessly embedded within your email. Image guidelines & tips: Supported formats: Jpeg, JPG, and PNG are your go-to formats. Optimal size: Keep images between 600-800 pixels wide for optimal viewing across devices. You can resize them within Copper after uploading. Email size matters: Maintain a overall small email size (under 20MB) for successful delivery. We recommend keeping the email size much smaller than that, though. Beyond the basics: We've packed inline images with features to enhance your experience: Image options toolbar: Access tools for removing images, adding hyperlinks, resizing, and adding alt text — all conveniently located next to your image. Hyperlinks: Transform your images into CTAs by linking them to relevant webpages or resources. Alternative text: Provide alt text for improved accessibility and ensure your message remains clear even if images can't be displayed. ❗Important Note: Email templates with inline images aren't currently supported in the Chrome Extension or mobile app (coming soon). We're thrilled to introduce inline images and empower you to craft visually engaging and impactful emails directly within Copper. Ready to get started? Jump into your Copper account and explore the power of inline images today! Let us know in the comments below how you plan to use this new feature to elevate your email communication.

Automations: easier to find, easier to use

Hellooo Coppernauts! You’ve probably spotted the new addition to our left-hand navigation 👀 We’ve added a convenient shortcut to Automations, making it a breeze to navigate and keep things moving. But that’s not all — we’ve added a ton of little but fierce enhancements to Copper’s emailing features 🦾 plus more on the way! Move relationships forward with new merge fields We’ve added two powerful new merge fields you can use in your email templates 💌 including #SenderFirstName, to make your communications more personal, and a brand new Booking Link field so you can give customers the option to book time directly with you. Use these new merge fields in your email automation email templates to help you deliver personalized outreach that moves the relationship forward. Click your User avatar in the upper left to find the new Booking Link field The new merge fields inside an email template Replace manual process with automation Ever find yourself caught up in the cycle of picking out the new contacts from your list and manually emailing them? What if we told you you could offload that onto Copper? 👀 We’ve added an option to our Email People on a specific List gallery template that allows you to send automated emails only to new contacts added to the list moving forward — so your list of vendors, volunteers, or contractors won’t suddenly get the “Welcome packet email” all over again. From the Email Automations gallery, select Automatically email People on a specific List -or- Automatically email Leads on a specific List. People List template Then select the Only new People added moving forward -or- Only new Leads added moving forward option. Only new People added moving forward Feel confident adopting email automations — we’ve got your back! If you’re one of our early adopters or have attended one of our webinars, you’ve no doubt taken a survey on what features or resources would make it easier for you to adopt Copper’s new Email Automations feature. Well, good news! We’ve recently released a ton of these requests — and have even more coming your way soon! Now you can create and edit the email template(s) for your automation right from the automation itself! No more bouncing around to make sure you’ve crossed your T’s and dotted your I’s — visualize the entire outreach experience in one place 👏 We’ve also added an enhancement to the Rekindle template, allowing you to choose a People List instead of a Contact Type. So if you segment your contacts into lists instead of by type, we’ve got you covered 🫡 Rekindle template New option to rekindle people on a list You’ll also see bounced emails in the Errors tab. But don’t worry, if the email bounced because of a misspelling or clerical error, you can correct it and the email will automatically retry the next day (according to the Sending Schedule). A humanistic approach to automated emails Your business is built on relationships — fostering personal connections that turn into lifelong customers. We know you want to save time by automating your outreach, but not at the expense of that ✨personal touch✨ Well don’t worry, we are very intentional about ensuring our feature mimics human behavior. Your contacts should have no idea they’re receiving an automated email 🦾 We recently released a feature to automatically thread automated emails as replies if the Subject lines match. You can use this to automate a follow-up and a nudge for a response. Now that you can create and edit the email template right from the automation, it’s even easier to ensure you have that Subject line match. Plus, with the new #SenderFirstName merge field that nudge can mimic what you’d do personally 🙌 But wait, there’s more to come! This summer we’re continuing to roll out new features to our email capabilities that will be available to all customers on all plans — plus some more customer requests for email automations! 🥁 Drumroll please… Inline images are coming to Copper emails 😱 That’s right — one of your top requests is coming in just a few short weeks. You’ll be able to add an inline image anywhere you send emails from the Copper web app: When sending an email from someone’s profile Using the bulk email feature Creating and using email templates Yes, I have this image saved on my computer For our customers using email automations, you’ll be able to send a test email to ensure your outreach will appear as you intended in the recipient’s inbox. This was by far the winner of our surveys on features that would make it easier to adopt email automations. Plus a ton more enhancements we have planned for this summer: Send the automated email(s) from a specific user Set the email automation as inactive/active And as we’ve teased in multiple webinars and here in the Community, our next big release will be Pipeline email automations 🥳 Stay tuned for all the 411 as we get closer to this release. As always, I thank you all for your feedback and insights. You truly do help us make Copper better. I can’t wait to hear what you think about these little but fierce enhancements! Cheers, Maggie at Copper

[Webinar Recording] Copper Product Pulse - May 2024

Hey Copper Community 👋 Our latest Product Pulse webinar recording is here and we took a slightly different spin on this session 👀 Our product team walked through an end-to-end demo of our Pipelines feature, from managing a sales workflow all the way to project delivery and more. If you haven’t considered Pipelines for projects, it’s time to take a look — we might just have you ready to wave goodbye to your current project management tools, and hello to consolidated customer experience flows in Copper 👏 For a seamless flow between revenue and non-revenue processes, we’ve made significant updates to our Pipelines including: 👉 All new and customizable Pipeline templates to begin capturing and managing unique customer flows in minutes. 👉 The ability to remove revenue tracking from existing project Pipelines to transition your flows and continue working with your tailored processes. 👉 The introduction of “Project” and “Item” record types in Pipelines for flexibility when managing more than sales. 👉 The ability to instantly duplicate a record from one Pipeline to another as a customer progresses through their journey with you — without any repetitive data entry. 👉 Alternate Pipeline statuses to better reflect the nature of non-sales processes, including: Open, Won’t Do, On Hold and Done. We cover all of the above ⬆ in a quick use-case demo with our product team. Here’s a recording recap so you can jump to the topics most important to you: Our vision for Pipelines in Copper - 2:21 to 3:37 End-to-end demo kickoff - 4:25 Overview of a projects Pipeline in Copper - 5:54 to 9:05 Moving an opportunity in a sales Pipeline over to a project Pipeline - 9:06 to 11:43 How project Pipelines are related on the Company record - 11:44 to 14:49 How to create a project Pipeline - 15:28 to 17:55 How to duplicate an existing Pipeline - 17:55 to 18:11 How to transition an existing Pipeline to a project Pipeline by removing revenue tracking - 18:13 to 18:59 BONUS 🎉 Sneak peek at the new look and more coming to Pipelines - 20:55 to 22:09 🌟 As mentioned during the session, we’re really excited about the adoption we’ve seen from customers who had additional team members on products like Asana, Monday.com and Trello to deliver projects. Visibility into customer communications is a critical part of project management, and they’ve seen huge value by getting all their users onto Copper. Yet, we know a one-size-fits-all pricing model might not work to make this transition. If you’re interested in bringing more users onto Copper, email us at sales@copper.com . We’d love to chat and provide flexible pricing options that works for you. Whether you’re new to Copper, a longtime customer or still checking it out, we hope you’re excited to explore the possibilities our flexible pipelines feature can bring to your business.

Take your customer nurture further with our new automated email series feature

Hi Community 👋 The next chapter of our email automation product drop is here: email series 🎉 As teased during our March Coffee with Copper webinar , we’ve begun rolling out the ability to automate a series of emails to our Business plan customers. Efficiently and elegantly nurture your key customer relationships — on autopilot 🚀 📣 We deep dive into automating a series of emails during our Copper Product Pulse webinar: Watch here Never miss a crucial touchpoint with the magic of email series. You’ll have all the functionality of automating a single email , plus: Tailored, 3-step automations to cover more ground It’s a busy world out there and sometimes folks need more than just one nudge. Now you can take your customer nurture even further by adding up to three steps in your email series, each with unique templates so you can try out different communications at different times to spark engagement. You now have the ability to add a step Intelligent cadence building to suit your relationships Each customer base is different — for some urgency might be important, but for other industries it may be more of a slow burn to win your customers the right way. So, we’ve provided the ability to define a “wait period” between each of your emails that best suits your business. This is how long Copper will wait to see if you’ve received a response from your contact before advancing to the next step. If a contact replies, they’ll be exited from the series with a “success” status. The wait period provided for the last step will define how long Copper will wait before exiting the contact with a status of success ✅ or complete ☑️ (no new inbound activity). Not sure what works for you? We’ve included pre-populated defaults for each step that you can test and learn with (ie. Step 1 will wait for 3 days, step 2 will wait for 7 days and step 3 will wait for 10 days). Define how long you’d like the automation to wait to receive an email from your customer before moving forward Clear insight into the health and performance of your email automations Understand the performance of your series and identify any opportunities for improvement with clear details on: 👉 Contacts that completed a series (all emails delivered) 👉 Contacts that successfully exited a series (new inbound activity at any step) 👉 Contacts that have been removed from a series (either because they no longer match the criteria or they’re out of retries) 👉 Contacts that are queued for retry (because delivery failed on previous attempt ex. missing email) Plus, you’ll have full visibility into the contacts still progressing through your cadence. Our new email series functionality is easy to set up and use in a snap so you can try automatically nurturing key contact lists without any heavy lifting. It’s made to work with your current workflows and processes as an efficient add-on to your engagement strategies. 📣 You’ll find our full help center article here to give you a hand with setting up your email series. We hope you enjoy this feature! Melanie at Copper

New in Copper: Pipeline types and statuses for all your use cases 🚀

Hey Copper Community! The team has been working hard to bring you an expansive Pipelines experience to help you tackle all of your business needs and engage your customers throughout their journey. We have a few exciting updates rolling out over the coming weeks 🔥These changes increase your efficiency in managing non-revenue engagements like projects, recruitment, and more – plus make it easier than ever to create the right pipelines that work for your business. Here’s a rundown on what we’re introducing to Pipelines ⬇️ 📣 We cover the entire end-to-end pipeline experience in action during our May Product Pulse webinar: Watch here Create pipelines tailored to your business with new record types Managing sales opportunities is only one aspect of your business, so we’ve introduced two additional record types to our Pipeline templates to give you even more flexibility when managing processes outside of sales: Projects and Items. You can also access these when creating a pipeline from scratch. You can further customize this by going into Settings > Customize > Rename Records and renaming these labels to better fit your business operations. As you explore company and people records linked with objects in your pipelines, you’ll now see a related Pipelines section organized by these new record types for a more unified experience across the platform. Related “Project” record types in a pipeline will now be stored under a new record type header in your related tab on People and Company records. If you’d like to customize your existing pipelines further or update the current record types from Opportunities, you can now adjust the Pipeline record type to Item or Project from the pipeline settings on the board view. From there: Click the 3-dot menu Select “Edit Pipeline” Choose your desired pipeline record type from the “Pipeline Record Type” dropdown. This will update your company and people record related sections for pipelines accordingly as shown above. Access the pipeline menu Select from the pipeline record type dropdown Manage relationships across pipelines effortlessly with new record duplication functionality Keep your deals, projects and relationships flowing effortlessly across your entire customer journey with the ability to duplicate pipeline records from one pipeline to another. Wave goodbye to repetitive data entry. When you’re done with a pipeline record in one pipeline, use the duplicate button in the record menu to transition the record to another pipeline with the fields and related People records already populated. You’ll have the opportunity to edit these fields before pushing it to a new pipeline. Use the record menu to access the duplicate option Select “Duplicate” When you duplicate an opportunity, project or item, all of your pre-configured data will be populated and you’ll have the opportunity to edit this information and select the pipeline you want the new object to live on. For even more efficiency, you’ll also have the ability to duplicate a pipeline record from the record “Won” modal. Toggle on the setting to duplicate the record. Intuitively manage non-revenue pipelines with new statuses We’re excited to deliver this common customer request as we continue to expand the pipeline experience past sales-focused workflows. Now, when your pipeline is set to “non-revenue” you’ll see alternate pipeline statuses: Open, Won’t Do (instead of Lost), On Hold (instead of Abandoned) and Done (instead of Won). If a pipeline record is moved from a non-revenue pipeline to a revenue pipeline or vice versa, the status will be the same but be renamed to match the revenue versus non-revenue setting. You and your team will be able to more intuitively manage your pipelines for project workflows and more. We’re introducing new statuses for non-revenue pipelines We hope you enjoy these new pipeline features. Leave your questions or feedback in the comments below ⬇️ Melanie at Copper
