If you haven’t updated your Sage CRM software in a while, you’re probably missing out on some of the new features and product enhancements that were added during 2016. Here’s a look at what you might be missing.
The user interface in Sage CRM has been updated to provide a consistent experience with other Sage applications that it integrates with like Sage 300. The changes include:
The release of Sage CRM 7.3 (Dec 2014) introduced the new integration with MailChimp. Product updates in 2016 built on that foundation, creating an integration that’s even more powerful and connected.
As an administrator, you can now specify how often data synchronization occurs between Sage CRM and MailChimp including various settings in Communications and Opt out requests as well as synchronization of Campaign Results.
When adding new contacts to MailChimp from your Sage CRM database, helpful notifications now display the number of contacts with new or updated email addresses that were successfully sent to MailChimp, the number of contacts with missing email addresses, and the number of contacts that MailChimp couldn't process. Plus, the number of merge fields you can use in a MailChimp campaign has increased.
A new Create Appointment workflow action has been created which prompts you to schedule an appointment as part of a workflow process. Alternatively, you can use the action to automatically create an appointment with pre-defined values (no user input required).
Sage also enhanced the existing Send Email workflow action to automatically (optional) file emails against corresponding entities including Person, Company, Case, Opportunity, Solution, and custom entities that have communications. The emails can then be viewed on the Communications tab.
