Previously, any tags imported would overwrite - remove any tags on existing records and replace it with the new tags. Append Tags appears as an option during the import wizard, and is selected by default.

Interested in running a targeted Facebook campaign, but haven’t dipped your toes in yet? Or maybe you have, but you’re managing it manually (and tediously 😬) outside of Copper. Well, we’ve got some exciting news: Copper Marketing Tools now connects 🔌 directly to Facebook Custom Audiences. Business plan users can automatically add new contacts from Copper right into Custom Audiences and land targeted messaging in front of their customers and prospects. Not sure why and how to use Facebook Custom Audiences? We break it down below👇🚨 Already advertising on Facebook? Click the link below to jump to Linking Copper Marketing Tools to Facebook Custom Audiences later in the article. Linking Copper Marketing Tools to Facebook Custom Audiences  Facebook’s audience is big … like, really big 🤯 As of the second half of this year, Facebook’s daily active user count hit 1.96 billion people worldwide — that’s a huge population covering a wide range of social and economical demographics, and geographies. What’s more, Facebook now exists within Meta, the technological umbrella uniting the Facebook platform, Instagram, Whatsapp and Oculus. Through Meta, you can target your ads to Facebook and Instagram, in addition to other websites using Facebook’s ad network. It’s no secret that Meta and its properties have become prime advertising platforms for many businesses to get in front of their ideal customers. With the right targeting and segmentation, it can also be pretty cost effective (cha-ching 💸). And Facebook’s highly customizable ad targeting helps make this happen 👇 Hitting the bull’s eye with Facebook Custom Audiences 🎯 Facebook Custom Audiences allows you to target ads to specific people that’ve already engaged with your brand. They may have visited your website, or maybe they filled out a form — and now you can place a custom message right in front of them. You can also get pretty crafty with custom audiences by targeting different segments of prospects or customers, so your ads are always tailored and landing when it makes the most sense within the customer journey, leading to better ROI and conversion rates.  How does it work? Imagine someone comes to your website, views a resource, looks at a product page, considers your pricing, but doesn’t purchase. You can send them a direct advertisement on Facebook with a special offer or discount code to reel them back in. How sweet is that?  Take the next step with Facebook lookalike audiences 🏃‍♀️ The fun doesn’t stop there. You can also create lookalike audiences from your Custom Audiences. Facebook’s algorithms will look at your Custom Audiences and will find other users with similar characteristics. Identifying lookalike audiences allows you to advertise to people likely interested in what you have to offer 👍Here’s an example: You’re a craft coffee shop owner also running an online store and you’re advertising a special offer to a Custom Audience made up of customers that order your small-batch coffee beans on a regular basis. You might also want to find more coffee connoisseurs to grow your business. Facebook will look at your Custom Audience, and will find other individuals likely to buy coffee beans from you — for example, they live nearby and like shopping local, are between the ages of 25 and 35, and are interested in sustainable food practices. Facebook will then target ads to people who fit this profile and continue to make adjustments depending on how the ads perform. More people learn about your business and your coffee sales grow. It’s that easy to use Facebook lookalike audiences.  Getting started with Facebook Custom Audiences To get started with Facebook Custom Audiences, you’ll need to sign into Meta’s Facebook Ads Manager for your business. Once you’re in Facebook Ads Manager, click the hamburger menu on the left side to see your options. From there click on Audiences.  Here, you’ll select Create a Custom Audience. You’ll need an already existing Custom Audience in Facebook with one contact in order to sync this with Copper’s Marketing Tools.  On the next screen, you’ll need to select Customer list as the source for your audience, which will allow you to sync your list with Copper.  The next page will prompt you to begin building your customer list. You’ll need to add at least one contact to sync your list up to Copper. You can upload contacts by importing a CSV or TXT file. This panel will walk you through the uploading and formatting options.  Once you’ve added a contact or contacts, you can link your custom audience to Copper’s Marketing Tools. Linking Copper Marketing Tools to Facebook Custom Audiences Now you’ve got your Custom Audiences built in Facebook and you’re ready to go. Linking Copper Marketing Tools means less time spent manually updating your Facebook customer lists. You’ll save time and avoid having to pause campaigns. Contacts will be sent to Facebook every 24 hours, and will appear in Facebook within 4 hours. To link the two together, go to Marketing Tools within Copper’s main navigation on the left. 📌 Note: Only admins using Copper’s Business plan will be able to link Copper and Facebook Custom Audiences.From there, select App Connector in the left corner. Next, select Facebook Custom Audiences from the apps available and click Create Connection below. If you don’t see the list of apps available, select Create connection in the top right corner first.You’ll have to authenticate your Facebook Ads Manager Account to continue.  Once authenticated, click Create Connection to continue. From there, select your Custom Audience from the dropdown available. If your Custom Audience is missing, you may need to hit Refresh fields.  Next, you’ll select the contacts you’d like to send to this Custom Audience. The lists available for syncing are based on the filters set up in Copper and tags you may have created.📌 Pro Tip: Review and consider your mapped fields. The more fields you can map, the more likely Facebook will be able to locate and target your audience. Things like company name, a phone number and person name can improve accuracy. Then you’ll hit Activate in the top right corner to set the connection live.And that’s a wrap on Facebook Custom Audiences … enjoy!This feature is now available for Business tier customers.

We will also be sunsetting our meeting scheduler feature on August 31.Mobile appWe’re reintroducing the option to automatically sync your new device contacts to Copper.

You’ll also be able to take it a step further by using the match “any”, “all” or “none” function to qualify your search.Coming Soon: “any”, “all” or “none”, and selecting multiple criteria. Bugs & EnhancementsWe’ve squashed a few bugs this week:Some areas of our import and export tool had mentions of “Prosperworks” (our old company name) that we’ve now switched to “Copper.”  We’ve increased security on our web app email.We’ve also made a few small enhancements: When you’re creating a new Pipeline, when you click “Done”, we’ve added an animation to indicate that your new Pipeline is being built. Within (New) Reports, bar charts, column charts and stacked area charts are now in the same left-to-right order as the legend. Within records, we’ve made empty custom date fields easier to understand. For example, if your organization has created a “Birthday” custom date field, and that field is empty, it will say “Add Birthday.”

This week, we added an “add new field” button to add custom fields directly on records. We’ve also made improvements to our support experience. Custom fields Admins and account owners can now create new custom fields directly in Person, Opportunity or Company records.Previously, all custom fields needed to be added in your Copper customization settings. Now, whenever you identify missing data that you want to add to a record, you can simple click “Add a new field” - saving you time and without losing context. From there, you can select the type of field, the name, and which records you want it to appear on.To add a new field, look for the grey button in the “detail” list while previewing the record in the side tray, or on the bottom left of the record when in full page view.Add a new custom field within a Person, Company or Opportunity record, then choose where the field should appear.​The button only appears to admins and account owners. Editing or removing custom fields can be done by heading to Settings > Customize > Manage Fields on Records. Support The Copper support team has been hard at work upgrading your support experience.

Until recently, your Copper users could decide if they wanted their email content and files to be visible to all other users by default, or private. Now, admins can set the default email visibility  for all users.At Copper, we’re all about transparency. We’ve found that giving teams visibility into the conversations happening with their customers is instrumental to their success with Copper. For that reason, we strongly recommend changing your organization’s setting to “always visible by default.” Just head over to Settings > Personal Preferences > Email Settings and Templates. Scroll down to “Individual Email Visibility Control (Admin)” and select “No (Always visible by default).” It looks like this:Admins and Account Owners will have the option to set the default visibility for synced emails across all user accounts.Once this setting is changed, only new emails will be set as visible. Previously synced emails will retain their original setting. End-users can still mark any individual email as visible or private, if required, within records.Google Workspace Add-OnWe’ve made the difficult decision to sunset our legacy Copper CRM Add-On for Google Workspace, and focus our development efforts on the Copper Chrome Extension.Our Chrome Extension has a number of added features that the Add-On did not have, including: Full functionality across all record types Surface synced files, and attach files from Copper See additional information from connected tools like QuickBooks and Mailchimp Create tasks and reminders from emails and records Email templates and merge fields We do still offer our Copper CRM for Google Sheets Add-On, which allows you to export data from Copper into Google Sheets.

Impacted customers were notified in advanced of this sunset. Bugs & Small EnhancementsWe’ve been hard at work squashing bugs and making enhancements: We’ve resolved a visual bug where it appeared some users could not purchase a plan without a coupon code. We’ve made some adjustments so our chat support icon does not block information in the bottom right corner of the screen. We’ve removed the [New] badge next to Reports and [Feedback] icon from Projects.

Exciting news 🎉 Google recently announced they’re rolling out a new appointment scheduling feature for select Google Workspace editions*. The new Google Calendar appointment scheduler makes it easier than ever to share your availability with external prospects, clients and partners via a booking page. No more playing email tag to find the best time to meet 😅And the best part — Google’s new feature works seamlessly with Copper. Scheduled meetings automatically sync to the Copper contact’s Person record. This way, all of your meetings — even the ones a contact has booked themselves — are tracked 🙌 Meet the new Google Calendar appointment scheduler experience To get started, open Google Calendar and click the “Create +” button. Select “Appointment schedule” from the list, and follow the steps from there.  How does the Google Calendar appointment scheduler work with Copper? Copper already syncs with Google Calendar, so any meetings scheduled with a Copper contact using the appointment scheduler will automatically appear on their contact record.  👉 Pro Tip: to save time when sending an appointment scheduling link, you can create a new email template to easily add invites to your outgoing messages in Gmail or in the Copper email composer.  Which Google Workspace plans can access this feature? The following plan types are not eligible for the Google Calendar appointment scheduling feature:  Free Gmail personal accounts Free Google Workspace Essentials Google Workspace Business Starter Google Workspace Frontline Legacy G Suite Basic or Business customers that have not transitioned to a new Google Workspace plan  What if I use Copper’s meeting scheduler? Following the new release of the Google Calendar appointment scheduler, we’ll be sunsetting our native Meeting Scheduler by August 31, 2022. We encourage our customers on eligible Google Workspace plans to start using the Google Calendar appointment scheduling feature as soon as possible to minimize disruption. For companies requiring a more robust scheduling function or that aren’t eligible for Google Calendar appointment scheduling, we suggest exploring Calendly or Calendar Hero as alternatives. Both offer free versions, automatic syncing with Copper, and more in-depth integrations if needed.  Let us know what you think!Melanie

This week, we’ve started rolling out the “upload date,” so you can see when the file was uploaded. New File Preview interface with dateBugs 🐞 As always, we’ve been busy squashing bugs! Here’s what we focused on: We resolved an issue where merge fields were not populating in Gmail via the Chrome extension. We corrected an issue where first-time users had guided tours pointing to incorrect features in the Chrome extension. We fixed a bug where you could not select an event type from meeting scheduler. We resolved a bug on our Android app where you could not mark tasks as “complete”.

Heads up! To continue to improve Copper’s user experience, we’ve renamed Opportunities to Pipelines inside Copper’s main navigation. Opportunities is now Pipelines in Copper’s navigation. This renaming has made it easier for new customers to learn where they can create their first pipeline.  What changes for current customers?  This only impacts Copper’s main navigation. Current customers will now see Pipelines in place of Opportunities in the navigation menu. If you’ve manually changed the name of Opportunities to an alternate name in Copper’s navigation, you will now see Pipelines. All opportunities themselves will remain “opportunities,” unless you’ve previously renamed them — in which case they’ll retain the name you’ve given them. Your current opportunities and pipelines will not be impacted 👍 The Team at Copper
