We’ve significantly expanded your email management options with new integrations and improved settings. You can now connect Reply.io, Outreach, Smartlead, and Warmly to your FirstQuadrant workspace, giving you more flexibility in how you manage your outbound campaigns. We’ve also updated Apollo to simply “Apollo” and replaced ActiveCampaign with Instantly for better alignment with modern sales workflows.

The settings have been redesigned too - what was previously called “Email marketing” is now “Outbound sales tools” to better reflect the B2B sales focus, and connection buttons now say “Connect” instead of “Install” for clearer user actions.

​
Contact merging

You can now merge duplicate contacts to keep your database clean and organized. When you identify contacts that represent the same person, simply merge them to consolidate all their activity history, notes, and campaign interactions into a single contact record. This helps maintain accurate relationship tracking and prevents confusion in your outreach efforts.

​
Email signature management

Added a new signature field to your mailbox settings, allowing you to create and manage professional email signatures for each connected mailbox. Your signatures will automatically be included in outbound emails, ensuring consistent branding across all your communications.
