We've just launched Workspace Tasks, a powerful feature designed to simplify task management across all your projects. If you're juggling multiple properties and struggling to stay organized, this one's for you.
The Old Way: Individual Project Task Managers
Each project in FlipperForce has its own Task Manager to keep track of project Tasks. This works great for single projects, but when your business scales and you're managing a lot of projects at the same time, things can get overwhelming. Jumping between individual project Task Managers to see what needs to be done can be a real headache, and important items can slip through the cracks.
The New Way: Workspace Tasks
Workspace Tasks is your central command center, bringing all your individual projecct tasks from every project into a single, unified view. See everything that needs to be done, across all your flips, in one convenient location.
Here's how Workspace Tasks will transform your workflow:
Here's how Workspace Tasks will help:
  • Increased Efficiency:
    Make quick updates to tasks directly within Workspace Tasks without toggling between individual Project Task Managers.
  • Crystal-Clear Organization:
    Tasks are organized by due date (overdue, today, and upcoming) and clearly labeled with the project they belong to.
  • Empowered Decision-Making:
    Gain a holistic view of your team's workload and identify potential bottlenecks.
  • Reduced Stress:
    Prioritize effectively, avoid missed deadlines, and feel more in control.
View Tasks by Responsibility
  • Focus on My Tasks:
    Filter by your name to see your personal to-do list.
  • Monitor Team Progress:
    Filter by individual team members to track their progress and provide support.
  • Optimize Workload:
    View all tasks to identify potential bottlenecks and balance responsibilities.
We identified and resolved issues that some users experienced when uploading certain iPhone photo formats, ensuring smoother and more reliable uploads for all.
- iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max compatibility:
Resolved an issue that prevented some users from uploading photos taken on the latest iPhone models.
- Portrait Mode support:
Fixed a bug that caused errors when uploading photos taken in Portrait Mode.
- Apple ProRAW support:
Enhanced compatibility for uploading photos captured in Apple ProRAW format.
These improvements ensure a smoother and more reliable experience when uploading photos from your iPhone to FlipperForce.
We're excited to unveil a significant upgrade to your Daily and Weekly Digest emails! Based on your valuable feedback, we've made several enhancements to ensure these emails provide the clarity and organization you need to stay on top of your Tasks, Schedules, and Events.
What are the Daily and Weekly Digest Emails?
Your Daily Digest email is your morning briefing, providing a snapshot of your Tasks, Schedules, and Events for the day. Your Weekly Digest gives you the bigger picture, helping you plan and prepare for the week ahead.

What's New:
  • Overdue Tasks Spotlight:
    A brand-new "Overdue Tasks" section sits prominently at the top of your email, ensuring those critical, time-sensitive tasks get the attention they deserve.
  • Task Clarity:
    We've created distinct sections for "Tasks Due Today" and "Tasks Due This Week." No more guesswork – prioritize your day and plan for the week ahead with ease.
  • Dedicated Sections for Tasks, Schedules, and Events:
    We've decluttered your emails by creating separate areas for Tasks (from your Task Manager), Schedules (major renovation Schedules for your contractors), and Events (your Calendar appointments).
  • Deep Links for Efficiency:
    Click on any Task, Schedule, or Event in the email to instantly access it within the software. No more wasted time searching or switching between applications.

How to Customize Your Stage Names:
It's incredibly easy to customize your Workflow:

  • Your Business, Your Way:
    FlipperForce adapts to you, not the other way around.
  • Clarity & Organization:
    A customized pipeline means no more confusion or mismatched stages. Your workflow is crystal clear at a glance.

Task Manager

Project Calendar

Calendar View Modals Get a Makeover!

Our Calendar view provides an overall view of every Schedule, Task & Event for every Project. But juggling multiple Projects at once meant it could get tricky figuring out which Project each item belonged to. No more!
We've given the Schedule and Task modals a makeover, adding a prominent "Project Header" to each. Now you can instantly see which Project each Schedule or Task is linked to, right within the modal. This small change makes a big difference in keeping your Calendar organized and your project management on point.
What's New:
  • Project Header:
    Every modal now prominently displays the Project name, address, and even a property image for instant recognition.
  • Hoplinks:
    Need to jump to the project itself? New hoplinks take you directly to the Project Schedule or Task Manager with a single click.

  • Stay on Top of Your Game:
    View your FlipperForce tasks alongside your other appointments and commitments, giving you a complete picture of your day, week, or month.
  • Access Anytime, Anywhere:
    Whether you're at your desk or on the go, your FlipperForce schedule is accessible through your phone's calendar app.

We've made a significant improvement to our Task assignment email notifications to streamline your workflow and save you valuable time.
Previously, when one of your Teammates assigned a Task to you, the email notifications would only direct you to the main Project Dashboard, requiring you to find the Project and then locate the specific Task in the Task Manager.
Now, each Task assignment email will include a direct link that takes you directly to the specific Task within the relevant project in the Task manager. This eliminates the need to search through the Dashboard and ensures that you can quickly find, access and address your assigned Tasks with ease!
Enhanced Task Assignment Emails
