We’d like to start sharing more about what's new in Capsule, small updates as well as big. Here's the latest roundup of new features, improvements and integrations:
Faster search with better matching
We've been rolling out a number of changes for the search function in Capsule over the past few months. Under the hood we're now using the proven ElasticSearch database to power the search results. This has improved performance signficantly and it enables more sophisticated matching. A few examples:
- The order of the names no longer matters. For example searching for Spacey Scott will now match Scott Spacey, as will searches for Spacey S or Scott S
- For phone numbers, it now matches across all phone numbers on a contact rather than just the first, and formatting no longer affects the matching. For example searching for 773-338-7786 now matches to (773)-338-7786 or 773 338 7786
- Addresses can now be searched. For example with a street address such as 847 North Street or with a zip/post code such as 60614
- In addition to using a full email address, it's now possible to find contacts using the first or last part of an email address. For example, @capsulecrm.com will show all contacts with an email address on that domain such as scott@capsulecrm.com
- Search now matches on individual words in a searchable custom field and there’s no limit on the number of characters like there was before
Number-based custom fields
We never fail to be in awe of the ways our customers use custom fields. A popular request has been to support filtering for numerical conditions such as Lead Score > 5. To enable this we've introduced a new type of custom field that supports numbers. Once configured and populated you can then use them as filters in a list.
New social networks
Given the success of Pinterest and Instagram it's time we made them available as social networks for you to record on a Capsule contact. We're taking a look at others we should add but we're mindful of not making the selection too daunting. In a related change, we've updated the CSV import to enable import of the full set of social network links that we support.
Address formatting
We've tidied up the formatting of addresses for some countries to be consistent with local rules. For example, in European countries we now show the zip/postcode before the city unlike in the United States where it comes after.
