Overview

This document describes any new features, enhancements to existing features, fixed issues, and known issues for the 5.8.0 release of the Customer Journey Plug-in. For information on supported platforms, please refer to the Connectors Supported Platforms page.

Feature Enhancements

  • Support for Sugar 11.2.x (Q4 2021): This version of the Customer Journey Plug-in can be used with supported Sugar versions up to 11.2.x.
  • Customer Journey dashlet for consoles: A Customer Journey dashlet can now be added to the Case Detail drawer on the Service Console and to the Account Detail drawer and Opportunity Detail drawer on the Renewals Console. The dashlet shows the fully interactive, running journey for the record on the console.
  • Dynamic URLs using data from the target record: Use content variables to create custom links for the current record (e.g., add a link to the record in an internal system by setting "http://mycompanyintranet.com/{$myexternal.system.id}" or search google for the company via "https://www.google.com/search?q={$parent.name}")
  • Set relative due dates by timeframe: You can now set due dates to either be a fixed number of days relative to a date on the record (e.g., Expected Close Date + 2 days) or as a percentage of time relative to a date on the record (e.g., 50%, or halfway between now and the Expected Close Date) via the Due Date Criteria field.
  • Improved user experience when configuring a Related Sugar Action to populate fields: The UI has been re-vamped to be easier to use and easier to read.
  • Add Related Sugar Actions at the Journey level: Previously available at the stage and activity template levels only, you can now configure Related Sugar Actions on the Journey template.
