December 5, 2024 / ❄️ Sync several email accounts into the same database, new Sticky notes, LaTeX in rich text

First winter release with some unexpected features is here.

:broccoli: Sync several email accounts into the same database

Now you can sync several personal email accounts into the same database. For example, for CRM use case you have 3 sales reps that communicate with customers and want to sync all their emails into a single Emails database. Check the detailed user guide how to enable multiple emails accounts.

Setup new Email Sync and enable Allow users to add personal integrations option.

Then every invited user can setup own sync in Settings → Personal → Email. As a result, you can see all communication with leads, customers, candidates, and other people in Fibery.

Then you can link emails to existing companies, accounts, candidates, or other databases in your Fibery CRM space and have all emails threads up to date.

:exclamation: Limitations :

  • This is Pro and Enterprise plans feature.
  • If you already have some older Email Integration setup, you will have to remove it and re-setup again.
  • Fibery does not work well with Labels so far. You can try to use them, but Full Force Sync will be required to sync old emails with labels.
  • Our Gmail OAuth is still in security verification stage, so you will see a warning for this auth method…

Some relatively important information:

  • Emails are not duplicated in several sync accounts. For example, if several people receive the email, only one be synced, but it will be visible for all people.
  • General Emails visibility depends on Space visiblity, but every user will see her own synced emails anyway.
  • You can setup Reply button and reply to emails right in Fibery.

Sticker resize
Now you can easily resize your stickers by dragging the corner handles.

Auto text adjustment
Text elements now adjust automatically to fit within the sticker when resizing, and you can change the text size by selecting the sticker and adjusting the font size.

Author name and avatar on stickers
Now the author’s name and avatar show automatically on a specific sticker.

Weekday number Formula function

There is a new Weekday(date) formula function that extracts the day of the week of the date as a number between 1 (Monday) and 7 (Sunday).

Before:

If(WeekDayName(Date,"dy") = "mon",1,If(WeekDayName(Date,"dy") = "tue",2,If(WeekDayName(Date,"dy") = "wed",3,If(WeekDayName(Date,"dy") = "thu",4,If(WeekDayName(Date,"dy") = "fri",5,If(WeekDayName(Date,"dy") = "sat",6,7))))))

After:

Weekday(Date)

:nerd_face: LaTeX in rich text (experimental)

Now you can type, edit, and render LaTeX equations right in Fibery’s rich text fields. There are Inline and Block equations, so you can type /math and select one. You can also select text and convert it to inline equation.

NOTE: Enable this feature in Settings → Experimental Lab. Let us know if any problems with this feature.

Automation & integration monthly caps (dry run)

NOTE: Monthly quotas only apply to workspaces on the new pricing plans. If you were a paying customer before this November, the caps won’t be relevant to you until March at the earliest. See our FAQ.

monthly-limits-workspace-status

In December, you can tell whether your workspace is close to approaching monthly automation/integration quotas. Go to Help & SupportWorkspace status to see how many automation runs and entity syncs you have left for the current calendar month.

We’ll give Admins a proactive heads-up if the workspace reaches 75%, 90%, or 100% of the limit and show a banner for them in the sidebar suggesting to optimize usage or upgrade to the next plan.

December will be a dry run, and we won’t actually stop your automations and integrations from running once you reach the limit—we don’t want to catch you off guard. January will be the real deal though.

The quotas start at 1,000 automation runs and 25,000 integration entity syncs on Standard and 10 times that on Pro, with bonus runs and syncs for every paid seat. Our data shows that the limits are generous enough not to affect 95% of the users.

If you’re curious about the reasoning behind the quotas, check out our blog post. To learn more about how the limits work and how to avoid reaching them, take a look at our guide.

:butterfly: Improvements

  • Integrations will produce less stress on Fibery and do not save not changed entities. It should improve performance a little bit.
  • Collaboration cursors are improved on Whiteboard.
  • Now you can wrap text in code block. Find Wrap code switcher in the top right corner of the code block.
  • Always Show Share button label on compact panels.
  • We’ve added Display As option to Table View column’s context menu, now you can select units visualization faster.

:shrimp: Fixed Bugs

Emojis and icons:

  • Emoji alias stop to convert to emoji if there is no text without space before it
  • Missing ‘button’ visualization in Mention
  • Pressing Enter does not move cursor to the next line if user enters + :

Email sync:

  • Non-existing contacts created sometimes for Gmail OAuth
  • Add retry for “Quota Exceeded” for Gmail OAuth

Other fixes:

  • User can filters in Data table but there is no ‘quick filters’ area appeared
  • It’s impossible to enable automatic access during new people field creation if turn off ‘allow multiple people’ option
  • Error on opening context report in public shared space

This is great, can we expect “Weeknum” function soon as well?

Something like, Weeknum(today) = 49
