Top 5 features launched in spring 2023

This spring, our teams were hard at work launching features and releasing improvements with the goal of helping your business grow. Here’s a recap of the top 5 features and improvements we launched: Pipeline Templates  If you’re looking to build a traditional sales pipeline, there are plenty of resources available that show you which stages your opportunities should go through. But these stages won’t always be a fit for different industries or workflows. We put our expertise to work based on our customers' diverse use cases and Pipeline Templates were born. Instead of spending time trying to figure out how to structure your pipelines, now you can get started in a flash with prebuilt pipeline templates.  You can use these templates right away or as a starting point for a pipeline that you customize further.In case you missed it, our last Coffee with Copper webinar focused on pipelines. Check out the recording here.  With the addition of pipeline templates, we decided to sneak in an extra feature: duplicating existing pipelines. This one is for those of you who need to create several pipelines with the same stages. You can save time by skipping the tedious task of manually copying each stage from another pipeline.  Where to find it: When setting up a new pipeline, you have the choice to create one from scratch, choose a pipeline template, or copy an existing pipeline.  User Trials As your business and team grow, more people will need access to your Copper account. But it’s not always clear if you should add certain team members to your Copper account. We launched User Trials to reduce the decision-making around which team members should be given a seat. With User Trials, all users have the ability to invite a new user onto their Copper account for a 7-day free trial. These new users will have access to all of the paid features available to other users in the account. If the trial user finds value in using Copper, your account owner can assign them a paid seat anytime during or after the trial period.  Where to find it: All users can invite new users to a free trial by using the “Invite Users” button on the side menu of Copper.  iOS and Android app navigation Our mobile apps got an upgrade! More than ever, users are taking Copper with them on the go. Whether it’s accessing Copper while traveling, quickly checking a comment your team member made, or even making calls using your mobile device - we want to make sure your mobile app experience is smooth. Since we work with Google Workspace (and we're the only CRM Recommended for Google Workspace), we used Google’s design principles to give our mobile app navigation a facelift. A sleeker look and feel makes the mobile apps a delight to use. Our biggest upgrade was to the navigation, giving users access to their most important records in one tap. People, Companies, Opportunities, and Tasks records can always be accessed in the bottom menu. All other menu items can be found by tapping the additional menu on the top left.  Where to find it: Our mobile apps! If you don’t have the apps downloaded, find us in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Activities refresh When working with your team, good collaboration is key. You rely on team members to give you helpful feedback, answer questions in a timely manner, and also keep you motivated. That’s why we decided to give activities a bit of a refresh. First off, we improved the notifications you get from updates to activities. Users now receive mobile and email notifications when team members comment on activities they created and activities they commented on. This way, users don’t miss relevant discussions and can respond to their team members more quickly. We also extended the ability to add emoji reactions to activities – something that was already available in the desktop app and Chrome extension. Users can acknowledge activities and celebrate wins without overwhelming team members with distracting text replies while on the go!  Email syncing In addition to the new features we launched, we also made several performance improvements in the background. One of the biggest improvements we made this quarter was to email syncing. We wanted to make sure your CRM account is always up to date. As you send and receive new emails, you should be able to find them on Copper right away. We were able to make email syncing lightning-fast. Now, emails sync from Gmail to Copper in a matter of minutes! You can rest assured that your records are up to date with your latest communications.And that’s a wrap for this quarter’s updates! We hope these new features and improvements help make their daily workflows more effortless and productive for your team. We’re working on some big things this quarter, so stay tuned.Have an idea for a feature or a problem you’d like us to help you solve? Share your ideas in our Ideas board.

June 16, 2023 - Faster email sync from Gmail to Copper & improved reports

This week, we made email sync from Gmail to Copper faster, improved reports, and squashed some bugs. Email SyncingWe made significant improvements to our email sync process and are now able to sync emails from Gmail to Copper within minutes! Users now have the peace of mind that their records are up-to-date with the most recent emails. With this change, we removed the message at the top of a record that indicates when emails were last synced. ReportsYou can now create a continuous line graph even if some values are missing. This update applies to any chart with a line: combo charts, line charts, and stacked area charts. Bugs & Minor EnhancementsHere’s everything we fixed:We fixed an issue that caused the activity type to be missing from a mobile push notification. When configuring notification settings, we updated the copy “Comments on an activity I created” to “Comments on an activity I’ve created or commented on” to more accurately reflect the notification type. We added toggles to configure email and mobile notifications on comments and reactions. We fixed a bug that removed the formatting of the Description when exporting a record. We fixed a bug that created invalid mobile push notifications from calendar events.  We fixed a bug that caused some mobile push notifications for activities to display a string of text instead of a record’s name.  On the Android app, we fixed a bug that prevented push notifications from sending if the app is open. On the Android app, users can mark a notification as read and have the indicator removed. We also updated the color of the indicator from red to green.

New in Copper: 7-day user trials

We’ve made growing with Copper easier with our new user trials! This gives your business the option to add a new user before deciding to purchase or assign them a paid seat, helping you make more informed decisions when it comes to your seats.A user trial lasts for 7 days after a new user is invited. During or after that period, an admin, account owner or authorized user can assign the trial user to an empty seat if one is available. If all of your seats are filled, the account owner can purchase an additional seat for the new user. Or if it turns out that the trial user doesn’t need Copper access after all, you can simply let their trial expire. Don't worry, we won't charge you automatically at the end of a trial — you maintain complete control over your Copper account.User trials are helpful for:Giving a teammate access to Copper as soon as possible, even if the account owner hasn’t had a chance to purchase a seat. Testing to see whether it would be beneficial to give a new teammate a paid seat in Copper. Letting a teammate from another department try out Copper to see if their department would find value in using it. Re-assigning a paid seat from an old user to a new one without any hiccups.We’re excited to add more options for team collaboration while also reducing the friction of managing users. Check out more details on how to invite someone to a user trial below. How it works:In the Copper web app, you’ll see an “Invite Users” button in the purple sidebar.Click on the button to reveal a popup window where you can invite someone to a user trial. Fill in their name and email address and then click “Send invite.”The new user will receive an invitation to join Copper by email. Once they accept the invite, they can access Copper for 7 days.At any time, you can go to Settings > Account Settings > Company & Invite New Users to manage users, seats and user trials.Keep in mind that only admins, account owners and users with permission can assign trial users to paid seats. Only account owners can purchase additional seats.With these changes, the check box “Only allow AOs and Admins to invite new users” changes to “Only allow Account Owners and Admins to assign paid seats.”If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment here, post in our community forum, or get in touch with our support team through chat on the web app.

When logging in, we enhanced the Company Selector by adding badges that indicate the trial status of a user or company.

May 12, 2023 - User invites, Mailchimp integration filter, email sequences merge fields, and bug fixes

This week, we improved the invited user experience, automated Mailchimp integration filters, added fallbacks to email sequences merge fields, and squashed some bugs.User InvitesInvited users now have more than one way to accept an invite to a company. When an invited user logs in for the first time, the user will be automatically marked as having accepted the invite and will be directed to the onboarding flow. The invited user is also able to accept the invite manually through the invite email. Previously, it was only possible to accept the invite manually through the invite email. This change allows new users to access Copper more efficiently.Users who belong to multiple companies will be able to accept invites to new companies through the Company Selector. Invites to new companies will show up as “Invited to [Company name].” Clicking on a company invite will automatically mark the user as having accepted the invite. Previously, it was not possible to click on a company invite, and users could only accept invites through the invite email.Users who belong to multiple companies can now click on invites from the Company Selector. Mailchimp IntegrationThe sync to Mailchimp filter will be on by default for users who set up a new manual sync. This helps create a filtered list of all records that are syncing to Mailchimp.Filter records that are syncing to Mailchimp.Users who previously had the sync set up can turn this filter on by heading into Settings > Customize > Edit Custom Fields > edit the “Sync to Mailchimp” custom field > select “Include in Filters.”To turn this filter on, edit the “Sync to Mailchimp” custom field. Email SequencesWhen personalizing an email sequence with a merge field, users can now set up fallbacks in case a merge field cannot be found. To create a fallback, add a vertical line symbol (|) and the fallback term after the merge field label. For example, if you want the merge field to display “there” in case a person’s first name can’t be found, you would write the merge field as {{person.name | there}}. If a merge field cannot be found and a fallback isn’t defined, no text will be shown for the recipient.If a person’s name can’t be found, the email will show up as “Hi there” for the recipient. Bugs & Minor EnhancementsHere’s everything we fixed: We removed notifications for meetings that are logged as activities. We fixed an issue where filters failed to load correctly for some users. We now send email and mobile push notifications when other users react or comment to a user’s activity records. We made the “Start from Scratch” button larger for companies setting up their first pipeline. When selecting a pipeline template, the top pipeline category is automatically selected to help reduce clicks.

To access comments, users can click on the comments icon. Previously, you could access comments through the “View comments” button.React to activities with emojisWe also improved the user experience when viewing activities.

We fixed an issue where there would be no input when voice searching using the microphone button on the search field. We fixed a bug that was incorrectly showing text fields as a filter option. Text filters are not yet supported on Android. We fixed a bug that prevented the “View comments” button on an activity from sending users to view the comments.

Copper wrapped 🎁: 2022 Product round-up

Hey folks, the countdown to the new year is on, but we want to take a minute to look back on all the goodness of 2022 😍 We present you Copper wrapped: a rundown of all of Copper’s key feature releases over the past 12 months. Hop on that saddle and get ready for the round up 🤠 Customer files at your fingertips 👌This new feature had us feeling the Copper magic ✨ We brought users a whole new way to store and organize files — no more searching for that elusive report or client proposal. Customer files are right where you need them. Files and Google docs sent to contacts in Copper automatically relate to their Person record, and from there users can search through all auto-related files — and manually uploaded files too 🔥Since its launch, we’ve made this feature even better by allowing users to “Pin” your most important documents to the top of your list of files. Ah, the file goose chase is over.  Getting granular with advanced filtering on text fields 🕵️We heard our customers’ requests loud and clear, and brought users advanced filtering on text fields in Copper. Users are able to easily locate 🔍 and segment important records by filtering on default and custom free-form text fields right from the web app. Creating customer segments has never been easier, so you can focus on the relationships driving value for your business 💪 A whole new world: The Copper X Mailchimp 2-way integrationThis one had us tap dancing all over the place 💃 Our new Mailchimp 2-way sync integration includes standard and custom field mapping, tag syncing and engagement metrics to supercharge your email game 👏 Your Copper and Mailchimp databases will always stay up to date so no lead is left behind. And the fun didn’t stop there. Earlier in December we introduced new Mailchimp activity syncing directly in your contacts’ activity feeds for more insight into how you’re engaging with customers. By default, users with the new integration installed will see website sign-ups, unsubscribes, bounces, campaign sends, opens, clicks and forwards in a contact’s feed.  In 2023, our goal is to bring you more control over the contacts syncing with Mailchimp.  Putting everyone on the same page with new reports permissionsCollaboration is at the heart of Copper, so this year we improved our reporting feature by giving Account Owners and Admins the ability to share edit or view-only access to account users. The whole team can now access and analyze important data needed to make decisions when managing relationships in Copper 🚀 Say goodbye to manual exports 👋 and instead provide users with direct access to reports.  Take your tech toolbox to the next levelAfter countless requests, we just dropped our spanking new integrations marketplace 🔌 We know many customers have a few tools ⚒️ in their toolbox to keep their business running smoothly, so we wanted to create a place where you can easily find and learn more about all the tech Copper connects to. Here you’ll see integrations built by Copper, by other businesses and our top integrations by Zapier. If you’re interested in learning about some of the most popular tools our customers are using with Copper, join our next Coffee with Copper webinar in 2023. We’re super excited to see what the new year has in store for Copper. Here are few of the Community ideas we’re working on:  We look forward to working with you in the new year and delivering even more great Copper features for our awesome customers.  Happy Holidays, Melanie at Copper

Our Copper X Mailchimp integration just got better

We’re continuously working to improve our integration with Mailchimp, and we have an exciting new update. Mailchimp activities will now sync directly in your contacts’ activity feeds, for a more detailed view into how you’re engaging with your customers 🙌 By default, you’ll see when your contact signs up from your website, unsubscribes or bounces from a Mailchimp audience. You’ll also see when a campaign email is “sent,” “opened,” “clicked” and “forwarded.” Mailchimp activities automatically sync in your contacts’ activity feedsThis update helps you better understand where your Mailchimp communications land amongst other interactions you and your team are having with prospects and customers. With more insight into the campaigns your customers are most engaged with, you’ll be able to hold more in-depth conversations with contacts throughout their journey with your organization.  How do I use it? If you’re using the new Mailchimp integration, you don’t need to do anything to get started. You’ll see the default activities (website signups, sends, opens, clicks, forwards, bounces and unsubscribes) syncing into your People records moving forward. Not using the new integration yet? There’s no better time to upgrade. Check out this post to learn more.Admins and account owners will be able to further customize which Mailchimp activities they want to display in contact records, including syncing other custom event activities. You can do this by:  Opening a contact record  Opening the Mailchimp dropdown Clicking Sync > Activity Sync Settings Selecting which Mailchimp activities you want to sync What’s next for Mailchimp and Copper? The work doesn’t end here. Next up, we’ll focus on giving you more control over which contacts sync with Mailchimp. If you’re interested in becoming a beta tester, leave a comment below 👇  Cheers, Melanie at Copper

October 21, 2022 - New Reports permissions, Invite User button, improved email open tracking

Next, select “Configure Reports Permissions”.Within New Reports, click the “Gear” icon, then click “Configure Reports Permissions.”You’ll see a list of all your account users. From here, you can decide which access level each user should have: “Can Edit” allows users to view shared dashboards, create insights, and invite new users. “Can View” allows users to view specific dashboards that are marked “Shared.” Note: If you are using Team Visibility, you should set your users to “Can View,” as team visibility does not transfer over to reporting. “No Access” means the user cannot see any reports, dashboards or insights.
