Today we are thrilled to announce a series of new features and improvements to our platform. Our development team has been hard at work and we can't wait for you to see what they have been up to.

In this blog post, we'll dive into the details of what's new and how it will benefit you. Before we begin, here is our Winter 2022/2023 update in case you missed it. ❄️

Business Dashboards

We created a couple of new widgets.

New Widget: Data Count Comparison

The first one is to preview and compare complex numerical data.

You can compare almost any kind of numerical data from your CRM. Possibilities are almost endless, making this new widget a very powerful addition to the platform.

For example, you could compare survey results:

Data Count Comparison Chart

To add a “Data Count Comparison” widget to your dashboard, click on the settings cog at the top right of your dashboard and then on “Add Widget”. You will find the “Data Count Comparison” widget under the “Graph Widget” tab.

You can add any kind of numerical parameters. All you need to do is add a data stream and select what kind of information you want to be displayed using the filter, as shown in the screenshot below:

New Widget: Tag List Stats

The second new widget will show you how many subscribers have a specific tag.

For example, you might be interested to see how many subscribers currently have the “Activated” tag.

Tag List Stats

To add a “Tag List Stats” widget to your dashboard, click on the settings cog at the top right of your dashboard and then on “Add Widget”. You will find the “Tag List Stats” widget under the “Contact Widget” tab.

Widget Settings

Speaking of widgets, we also added more settings, for more flexibility. Previously, you could create “Segmentation” widgets where you can only select segments. Well, you can now select tags as well, in addition to segments.

Widget Settings

Clickable Numbers

Also note that you can now click on the numbers displayed in widgets.

Clickable Numbers

Doing so will direct you to the section (like the segment or tag for example) or the report from which the number came from, so you access more details with the click of a mouse.

Clone Option

You can now easily clone business dashboard using the “Clone” option.

All you need to do is click on the settings cog at the top right of the dashboard and click on “Clone”.

Clone Option

Your dashboard will then be instantly cloned. You will of course be able to modify your new dashboard, by adding, removing or editing widgets as required.

CRM

Filtering System Improvements

We improved the way the different types of fields look in the “Contact Filters” modal window, as shown in the screenshot below:

New Shortcut

You can now send an email to a specific contact right from the CRM, by clicking on the “Send Email” option in the three-dot icon menu.

Send Email Option

After you've clicked on the “Send Email” option, you will see a modal window with an email editor, so you can send an email, directly from Platformly, to that specific contact.


Messaging

New Website Button

You can now add a website icon to your HTML emails, in addition to social media icons.

Website Icon in Email Builder

That way, you can add a link to your website or blog for example, next to your social media profiles.

Please note that this new option is also available in our landing page builder.

Tracking

Send New or Existing Email

As you may already know, you have the ability to send an email to a specific segment directly from the “Segments” section. To do so, simply click on the three-dot icon next to the segment you want to email and click “Send Email”. Same principle in the “Tags” section.

Send Email Option

Additionally, when sending an email from the “Segments” or “Tags” section, you now have the ability to choose whether you want to create and send a new email or send an existing email, as shown below:
