Note notification - the note populates the email
When one receives an email with the subject "Redtail CRM: A new note has been added.", having the note populate the email would be helpful so one does not have to login to see the note.

view all contacts on calendar page
Our team does not find it helpful to have multiple contacts on one activity consolidated on the calendar page. We rather see the multiple contact names at a quick glance rather than having to scroll over the activity.
The new enhancement may be helpful to others but possibly not to all users. Do we have the option to opt out of this enhancement?

Retriever and Outlook calendar - link to contact based on email address of invitee
When using retriever, it would be nice if when synching from outlook calendar to Redtail that the meeting could be linked to a redtail contact based on email address of the people invited to the meeting. This woudl remove a manual step in linking the contact after opening the calendar item in Redtail.

make comments and linked documents part of the notes search
Notes are searchable, but comments and document names are not. It would be helpful to hit all when searching notes.

add a plug in for outlook so you can save emails to the client's redtail contact
With Smart Office we had a plugin/ widget so that we could post an email to their contact page. You either had the option to do it every time for everyone or you could do it manually. You could also click a button and it would send any attachments in the email to their contact page.

Schedule or Send Email Later Option
When we are working with email templates I would like see to the option to schedule when the email is sent. You can only send it immediately. A send later option would be good if we are working on an evening, weekend or would prefer if a client receives the email at a certain time.

Automatically SAVE INPUT and do it WITHOUT CLOSING the activity or note or whatever is beingupdated.
According to this forum, this suggestion (posted in 2016, 2017, 2018) was completed. Funny, since it's our biggest daily problem. We lose data so often that we have to keep a word doc open in the background during the day to enter notes and then find the time to cut and paste to Redtail. Counterproductive? You bet. Keeping notes for our client records is the main reason we purchased RedTail and it's proving less reliable than Outlook Notes. Finding the time at the end of each day to cut and paste into RedTail is ... difficult. so many words came…

Highlighting text feature
Please consider adding text highlighting to activities and notes. It's great to be able to insert emojis, however, emojis are not as useful as the ability to highlight text. At times, I have several things happening in one activity, and would like the ability to highlight some things that might still be outstanding (or even color code the text).

Mark Activity Incomplete or Canceled
Some activities never get completed, because we don't hear back from a client/prospect or the client/prospect changes their mind. Right now the only option is to make a note in the description and mark it as complete or delete the activity outright.
I would like to mark an activity either Incomplete or canceled to close out the activity, because it is never going to be complete. This would allow me to keep track of essentially wasted work and unresponsive clients. Also, it doesn't make sense to show an activity as completed when it wasn't. Thanks!

Ability to do a keyword search through notes, and ability to search for notes added during a specific time period.
We have times we don't remember which client we submitted a note for, so to search for the keyword in the notes category would be great. Or even search for all of the notes submitted during a specific time period. We can currently only view the notes submitted in the past week. What if we need to look at the notes submitted the previous week? There is no option, record, or list anywhere to access this.

Link a Contact to a note after it has been Created
It would be very beneficial to have an option in the action menu of a note to link an additional contact after a note has been made. Currently if one forgets to include that additional contact in the initial making of the note, there is no way to copy that note, with all the comments underneath, to that additional contact without either completely restarting or copying the note and comments individually to that additional contact.
If it could be the same as linking an account to a note, that would be wonderful!34 votes -
UDF's at Household Level
I'd prefer the ability to add UDF's at a household level instead of a contact level. Of if they have to be by contact, make them mirror each other when a contact is in the same household as another contact.

Change "Servicing Advisor" and "Writing Advisor" fields under contact details.
Please make the "Servicing Advisor" and "Writing Advisor" fields in the contact details more generic and add additional fields. For example:
"Advisor 1"
"Advisor 2"
"Advisor 3"
A third option would be great, the ability to rename these fields would be even better.34 votes -
Moveable Chat bubble
It would be nice if the chat bubble that is in the bottom right corner of the CRM would be moveable to other areas on the screen or for it to completely disappear and be button on the top. When we go to the accounts screen, the chat bubble covers up the total account value when you scroll all the way to the bottom and you can't see the number.

Dates on Open Activities list on client dashboard
On the client dashboard could you please list the date for that weeks activities. Once it gets to the current week it only states that day of the week. But when I am trying to confirm appointments and am in the clients account I have to open the activity to verify the date. I would be nice if the actual date is listed for all activities, even the activities that take place on the current week.

Husband & Wife as One
Many of my married clients share everything, some even only have one email that they share. What is difficult currently with RedTail is that everything is recorded separately. So notes, emails, documents, reminders, etc. are only connected to one of the two contacts. It would be extremely helpful if we had an option to link the two so that everything that I see in one contact (notes, emails, documents, reminders, etc.) will also show on the other. So no matter which of the two spouses that I open, I will be able to see everything.
It would also be nice…
