Product roundup March 2023: Create email content with a bit of help from AI

Published by Bruna Goss, 28 Mar 2023

Enjoy a little help from AI in your mailing editor, better email deliverability, more flexible script customizations, SharePoint features in your Mobile CRM app, and a preview of the new generation of SuperOffice Service – now open for pilots.

This is the first Product roundup of 2023. However, SuperOffice in the cloud has received new versions with improvements every three weeks or so. For details on all new releases, check out this page in Community.

In our product roundup video, we share with you the main highlights that came your way in SuperOffice CRM. For this roundup these are:

New SuperOffice AI features

AI is on everyone’s lips these days as new applications are popping up in all kinds of areas.  

For SuperOffice it has always been important to embrace new technologies as they mature and can add real value to business processes and to your CRM. But it doesn’t have to be a game changer to add value.  

How about getting a little helping hand from AI in your mailings? πŸ™Œ  

There’s new AI features available for our Marketing users to help you: 

πŸ‘‰ create unique and custom images for you based on your descriptions  

πŸ‘‰ suggest alternative headlines or button link text when you enter your own suggestion.  

The "AI assistant" even generates suggestions based on the tone of voice you prefer as alternatives you can use or for inspirationπŸ’‘

A small, but potentially also a valuable use of AI, in addition to those already available within the SuperOffice AI platform.   

Availability and requirements:

  • Included in the mailing editor available with the Marketing Plan
  • Available now in the SuperOffice CRM for online
  • Available now in SuperOffice CRM for onsite, version 10.2.1

Email domain validation

When you use an external mail server to send emails on your behalf, like what you do when using the online version of SuperOffice, you can improve the chance of your mails being delivered if SuperOffice CRM is on your domain's "safe list".

This requires a set up where your domain is configured with a SPF record from SuperOffice.

If you haven’t set this up yet, you will now see a little warning saying that you should validate your email domain.

You are still able to continue using mailings as before, but we recommend getting this validation set up so your campaigns can get better results.

There is also a new ability for CRM administrators to control that only approved email domains are allowed for sending emails via SuperOffice. This is done in the Global preferences in Settings & maintenance.

Also new is that the “From” fields is now split up into two fields, one for the From sender name, and one for the From sender email. This allows you to personalize your mailings more easily.

Learn more about these features and get some tips on how to improve your email deliverability.

Availability and requirements: 

  • Included in the mailing editor available with the Marketing Plan 
  • Available now in SuperOffice CRM for Online 

CRMScript triggered dialogs

CRMScript is a programming language embedded in SuperOffice but that doesn’t necessarily need developers expertise.  It is a flexible and - at the same time - cost-effective way to customize your CRM solution.  

CRMScript lets you automate tasks or modify the behavior of SuperOffice. For example, you can use it to automate a set of activities, add or confirm data into SuperOffice or open a dialogue with information to the user.  

New to CRMScripting is that you can now create dialogs where you ask the user a question and what they answer can trigger several actions. 

For example, a script can activate a dialog to pop-up to ask the user if they want something to be automatically updated or created for them. This type of script triggered dialogs gives users more control of what happens next.  

Customers who used the Windows-based installations of SuperOffice from earlier may be familiar with the capability, but it has not been available for online and web applications until now. It is a welcomed addition that we anticipate will be valuable to many customers.

  • Available now in SuperOffice CRM for onsite, version 10.2.1

Pilot program open for the next generation of SuperOffice Service

A new version of SuperOffice Service is about to be released. In the new version, the request features have now been fully merged with the core of SuperOffice CRM.

This next generation of SuperOffice Service is the result of years of investing in updating the technology. We also took a deep look into how people work with different requests to find how we can help even more. 

The result is a Service solution that offers new way of working with requests in SuperOffice, where you can:  

πŸ‘‰ Navigate between requests and the information available in SuperOffice more easily 

πŸ‘‰ Find the information you need to respond to requests faster 

πŸ‘‰ Multi-task much more effectively and work with the information at hand faster than before 

This version will soon be available to new customers of SuperOffice. Existing customers using Service will be migrated to this version starting later this year and over a significant period of time. More information will come to ensure everyone is ready and prepared to take advantage of all that the new Service solution has to offer.  

If you are interested in an early start, the pilot program is open and available for both online and onsite customers.
