In this blog post, we’re thrilled to present the top 10 new features released in the first half of 2024. From customizable email domains and advanced event categorization to enhanced document signing and integration capabilities, these updates are crafted to enhance your workflow and productivity.

Join us as we explore these exciting enhancements and discover how they can help you achieve your goals more effectively.

1. Edit ‘Custom Domain Email’ for Uploading Documents via Email

Uploading documents via email has never been easier or more professional. With our new feature, you can now customize the part of your custom domain email address that appears before the "@", giving you complete control over its appearance. No more dealing with random characters – you can create a professional-looking email address that aligns with your brand. This enhancement not only streamlines your document management process but also presents a more polished image to your clients, reinforcing your brand’s professionalism and attention to detail.

Example: Instead of a random email like clinked-clinked-MrnWEH@in.clinked.com, you can set a custom email such as invoices@yourdomain.com, making it more intuitive and professional for your clients.

To change the domain name after the "@", simply enable the "Custom Email Domain" option in the Custom Domain section of your general settings.

2. Colour Picker for Events

Organizing your events just got a lot more colorful and intuitive. Our new color picker feature allows you to categorize different types of events effortlessly. By assigning specific colors to various events, you can easily distinguish between meetings, deadlines, and other important dates at a glance. This visual enhancement helps you stay organized and ensures that you never miss a crucial event again. With this simple yet powerful tool, managing your schedule has never been easier.

3. Custom status for tasks

Take control of your task management with our new Custom Task Status feature. Now, you can personalize task statuses by editing both the name and the color, ensuring they fit your workflow perfectly. This flexibility allows you to create a task management system that is tailored to your specific needs, making it easier to track progress and prioritize tasks. By customizing task statuses, you can enhance clarity and efficiency within your team and with your clients, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

4. Drag and Drop Files

Simplify your file management with our new Drag and Drop Files feature. You can now effortlessly drag files within your Group's Files Section and drop them directly into the desired folder. This intuitive functionality streamlines organizing documents, saving you time and reducing the hassle of traditional file uploading methods. By making file management more efficient, you can focus on what truly matters – collaborating and achieving your goals.

5. Watermarking Improvements: Transparency Option

Ensure document readability with our improved watermarking feature, which now includes a transparency option. This enhancement is particularly important for documents with extensive text, as it allows watermarks to be less intrusive while still providing the necessary protection and branding. By adjusting the transparency, you can easily read and interact with your documents without compromising on security or presentation. This improvement ensures a balance between document protection and usability, making your work more efficient and effective.

6. Add Hyperlinks in Announcements

Enhance your communication with the new ability to add hyperlinks in announcements. Portal owners can now easily embed hyperlinks into texts within the Announcement Widget using the "add link" button in the widget's CMS configuration. This functionality allows you to provide direct access to important resources, documents, and external sites, making your announcements more informative and interactive. By embedding links, you can ensure your team and clients have quick access to relevant information, improving overall engagement and efficiency.

7. Empty Trash Button

Keep your portal tidy with our new Empty Trash button. This feature allows you to delete all items in your trash with just one click, saving you time and effort. By quickly clearing out unnecessary files and documents, you can maintain an organized and clutter-free workspace. This simple yet effective tool ensures that managing your portal remains efficient and straightforward.

8. Voiceflow Integration

Elevate your portal's capabilities with our new Voiceflow integration. Voiceflow is the collaborative AI agent building platform that enables teams to design, develop, and launch chat and voice experiences at scale. This integration allows you to embed a Voiceflow agent directly into your portal. Simply copy the code snippet provided by Voiceflow and paste it into the box found in the Group Setting's Integrations Section after toggling on the Voiceflow integration. This seamless addition enhances user interaction and streamlines communication, making your portal more dynamic and engaging.

For example, as shown in the image below, you can set up a Voiceflow agent to assist users with technical help, create tickets, and provide real-time support, enhancing the overall user experience and efficiency of your portal.

This addition ensures that your team and clients can get started quickly and efficiently, improving overall accessibility and satisfaction.

10. Collapse/Show Group Branding

Enhance your viewing experience with the new Collapse/Show Group Branding feature. This functionality allows users to collapse or show the group branding header, helping to save space and better focus on content.
