Second Quarter, 2023
Drip Sequence Automations
Drip Sequence Automation will be a game-changer!
Traditional Drip Sequences send an email message on a schedule AFTER a subscriber is added to an Email Marketing List. BUT, imagine if you could integrate Automation Triggers into that schedule? For example, after 3 days, you could send an email, then on the 5th day, you could trigger a specific set of Automations.
So instead of being limited to only being able to send emails on a schedule based on a sign-up date, you’ll be able to also “schedule” Automations to run! All of this will be relevant to the “Based-On Date” and will be compatible with the recently released “Reverse Drip Sequence” functionality.

Schedule Automations in addition to email sending
Trigger on a specific date or the value of a Custom Field
Systematize a scheduled onboarding or reminder process
Opens up a whole new world of possibilities
Form Themes
You can already use Form Templates from the Template Library to get a huge jumpstart on creating attractive Forms, but with Form Templates, you’ll have even more power at your fingertips!
For each Form you create, you’ll be able to choose from 20+ built-in Form Themes, each of which provides a unique “look” by styling the form fields, labels, validations, etc. to achieve a cohesive and attractive presentation. Choose your favorite and use it every time, or start with a Form Theme as your base, make your own changes and save your own unique Form Theme to use going forward!
Future iterations will extend this functionality to incorporate other elements of the Form such as Success Messages, redirect configurations, etc.

Enhanced Remote Chat
In Q4 of 2022, we released Embeddable Remote Chat. Now in 2023, we’ll continue to enhance and refine that functionality.
Coming soon are the options to insert Kickoff Forms into an active chat and the ability to create Canned Responses that can be easily accessed and inserted into the active chat via coded shortcuts! In addition, you’ll be able to configure what actions should be taken when your Staff is unable to answer a live chat request and even set a custom schedule that will specify how the chat should respond to visitor requests during certain time periods (the weekend for example).
Future iterations will include intuitive chat-bot style conversation & decision workflow and an integration with the upcoming Support Tickets feature.

Digital Signing of PDFs
You’ll be able to use your own PDFs for eSigning. Our current eSign functionality uses Document Templates + Dynamic Data Placeholders to auto-generate Contracts, which are then available for signing. However, this approach doesn’t allow you to use an existing PDF form.
With this new feature, you’ll be able to upload your existing PDFs, configure the data & signing options and then assign/send to your Clients and/or Staff for eSigning. You’ll also be able to create Templates using PDFs so that the template can be used in your Automations.

Continued development of the Public API
The Public API is released and LIVE. Over the course of 2023, we will be working to expand the API into as many parts of the platform as possible. Webhooks will be implemented based on utilitarian priorities.
The first release will focus on the ability to create and edit CRM items like Contacts and Companies. Both default and custom fields will be supported.
Priorities for expansion of the Public API + Webhooks will be based on Community feedback. Here is the API Voting Board > https://vote.suitedash.com/b/api-integrations/

Currently, there’s only one available form for Work Requests, which is fine for some businesses, but this update will dramatically expand the Work Request functionality, give you the ability to create Work Request Custom Fields, let you re-order the fields in any way you wish and configure both assignments & Automations to be triggered when submitted.
In addition, you’ll be able to specify Project-specific Work Requests that can be accessed directly inside a Project so that Clients can request additional products/services directly inside the Project where they are collaborating with you and your team.

Private Template Sharing
Private Template Sharing will let you share your Templates with others via the Template Library without making them publicly available in the Template Library
When you go to contribute a Template, you’ll be given the option of sharing that Template privately. Using this option will generate a 30-50 character code that you can share with your intended recipient. With that code, your recipient can navigate to the “Private” tab in the Template Library and enter that code, which will then authorize them to load that Template into their account.
In addition, you can generate a “global” code that you can give to those that you might be coaching or mentoring, and after they “redeem” that code in their account, they’ll automatically have access to all the Templates you have privately shared, and to all the Templates you privately share in the future.

Template Marketplace
Currently, the Template Library is populated with Templates from the SuiteDash Template Team and Templates that have been contributed by the SuiteDash Community. With the addition of the Template Marketplace, you will now have the ability to place a price on your Templates and get paid!
Imagine that you create a highly useful Form Template or Email Marketing Template that is targeted to a specific niche. There are many professionals who would prefer to buy something that is already done rather than spend the time & effort to re-create it themselves – and this is your market!
Can you get $9? or maybe you can get $99? or maybe if you build an amazingly useful Template, you can get $999?

You will be able to fully customize the ‘Support Request’ form and both you and your Clients/Customers will be able to view all tickets and the history of all tickets.

Dynamic PDF Documents
We’ve already laid the groundwork for this feature by enabling Documents to be generated without requiring any signature(s). This means you can custom design a Document Template using data placeholders with the plan to call it in another Automation and use that Document Template and the Target’s data to automatically generate a bespoke PDF Document via that Automation.
We’ll natively integrate this functionality into Forms, FLOWs and LMS Products/Courses so that you can instantly reference a Document Template of your own design that will be generated using the data that was just submitted in the Form, for example. You will also have the option of attaching this PDF to email notifications sent after the Form/FLOW submission or LMS Product/Course completion. In LMS, you can use this functionality to dynamically generate custom Product/Course Certificates that are personalized perfectly for that Product/Course and Participant!

This is where Checklists will be the perfect choice! Easily define a Checklist and assign it manually or via an Automation. Each Checklist Item can be individually customized and each one is an Automation Opportunity, which means for each one, you can define a custom set of Automations to be triggered when the Target marks that item as complete.
You can assign a Checklist to either Prospects, Clients or Staff. Checklists can be accessed non-logged via a stand-alone, white labeled view, or you can opt to use the Checklist Block and integrate the Checklist into the Native Dashboard or a Portal/Start Page.

3rd Party “Collaborator” Role
Traditional business logic is typically centered around a two-sided structure with the business on one side and the Client on the other.
However, there is a growing breed of businesses that have a more complex structure that more closely resembles a triangle, or a three-sided structure.
The new Collaborator role is intended to serve this new breed of businesses via the creation of a new type of User that will be given very limited access and visibility based on the settings enabled by the Admin. For example, you may create a new Collaborator user and grant that user visibility to see a particular Client or Client’s profile, uploaded files or form submission data. The Collaborator then would be able to assess that Client and the Client’s data complete their side of however the business logic is configured.
The plan is to continue extending the functionality and features related to this Collaborator role based on feedback from our customers.
Extend the possibilities beyond a two-sided business logic
Allow a 3rd party Collaborator access to a Client(s) data on a strict permission only basis
Collaborator role has no visibility or capabilities in the Portal unless specifically granted by the Admin
Enables a three-tiered business logic popular with many of today’s platforms
“Super-Client” Role
There are times when businesses deal with a Client company that has multiple offices or locations, and this presents an issue if the “home office” wants to have visibility and access to Projects or other assets that are in the works with one or all of their sub-offices or satellite locations.
The Super-Client role is intended to serve in these situations to enable a single user or multiple users to be selected as the ‘parent’ Client(s) of some set of other Client(s).
A Super-Client will be able to function exactly like a typical client, but they will additionally have access and visibility to all the Projects, Files and other Portal Content that is permissioned to their ‘child’ Clients.
Enables an efficient organization structure when working with a multi-location Company as your Client
The Super-Client will have permission and visibility of all their assigned child-Client projects, files, invoices, portal content, etc…

Website Builder Tool
Imagine that you can map your Top Level Domain to your SuiteDash account, and using our website builder tool, you’ll be able to build your actual website at https://yourdomain.com.
Now imagine that on that website, you can display your Intake Form for interested Prospects, which will feed directly into your CRM. This will then trigger a set of follow-up Events on your Calendar and also add that Prospect to an Email Marketing List and trigger a follow-up Drip Campaign.
And, also imagine that on that website is a File Upload widget , a Support Request form, and a variety of other pre-built Integrations…all powered by SuiteDash.
And finally, imagine that there is a login form on that website. If a Staff member logs in, they see an entire suite of productivity and collaboration tools. If a Client logs in, they see a fully customized Client Portal.
Power your website itself using SuiteDash’s powerful tools
Seamlessly and simply integrate your Intake Forms, File Uploads Tools, etc…
