Comments - could we get the ability to label/categorize comments?
In our firm, we often label notes with different labels so they can be found more easily later. I am finding the comments feature really useful to keep threads of correspondence on the same topic grouped together. For this reason, I would like to have the ability to label a comment with a category. Not sure if this is possible, but it would be nice.

Columns available to filter on Favorites view screen
It would be great to have my Favorites screen show the client's primary phone & email. Also being able to select my Favorites screen columns to be static would be great. I don't want to have to filter the content every time.

Give us a text box when using "Begins With" or "Like" operands
When doing an advanced contact search, if we choose a field with a preset list of options (Tag Group, Category, Status, etc), regardless of the operand we choose we are only ever given the option to use a preset value from the dropdown box as the search criteria.
It would be very helpful to be have a freeform text box for the "Begins With" and "Like" operands.
For example, we have 6 different tag groups that all start with the same first three letters - "FMG": FMG A Clients, FMG B Clients, FMG C Clients etc. etc. Right now there's…

Open Activities Page - Add in Custom Columns
We are building out our activities to utilize them across multiple different teams within our firm, and we would like there to be a way to add in a category column to the open activities view page. Specifically, the client's Servicing Advisor or the Client Contact Category (which we use to show the office location they are attached to).

Add "Referred By" as a Column option in the Quick Lists area
We create quicklists for all of our prospects so we can track what stage they are in the process. Currently Quicklists have columns from Contact Details including "Status", "Category", "Source", "Type" etc. Can we also add the column "Referred By" as an option?

Workflow tasks should show up in the regular activity list of "things to do today".
I would like Workflow Tasks to show up in the regular activity list of "things to do today". That way, I can view past, upcoming, etc. workflow tasks in my regular activities list. Our entire office, including owner, HATE having to go to a completely separate area to see workflow tasks. As a matter-of-fact, many Workflow tasks are missed because they do not show in the regular activities list. This feature would be VERY helpful in doing our work, planning, and filling in when staff members are absent.

Expand Automation
While the automation function is a time saver, its functionality is far too limiting as we are not provided sufficient options. For instance (and this is just one example), we use (or have been trying to use) our categories to have a more refined view of client- and account-impacting notes. However, automation emails sent out via FMG (e.g., schedule a meeting, invitation to client events, newsletters, etc.) all get dumped into the same category. We'd like to be able to see, at a glance, notes that are key to client/account management, as well as who's being invited, who's being reminded,…

Activity and Linked Accounts
I do not want to remember investments and insurance details by memorizing account numbers. Is there a better way to identify what is the account when linking to an activity? Especially if account numbers share same format from the same provider e.g., Fidelity, Pershing, Charles Schwab. The only fix right now is entering an additional description in the "Number" under "Basic Information" in the Account Details. Would that be best practice? There is no other way in the activity and linked accounts to decipher between IRA, Roth, Trust, Joint, Individual, NQ, etc. Currently, only shows account "Number", "Company", "Product" and…

Important Information
I have feedback for a recommendation regarding how a notification is displayed when a profile has information entered in the important information box. Please see the attached PDF.
Adding a Red bar and filling the space immediately below the bar with the profile name with the "Important Information" would be much better. This addition would just serve as a reminder to click and view the important comments box.
I believe this improvement would be extremely beneficial to all users and Redtail itself. This notification is much more obvious which greatly decreases the likelihood that important information is overlooked or disregarded…

It would be helpful to have a feature that auto emailed or texted clients to remind them of upcoming appointments.
Having a feature that auto emailed or texted clients in advance of their upcoming meeting would be helpful. I was told this wasn't a current option/feature of CRM.

Notes Report
When using the notes report feature, allow the columns to be shrunk to size to make it print with less pages, select the notes to be included in the report so we can skip over unnecessary ones/choose specific ones, and make the font on the report changeable to shrink or enlarge as needed.

Scheduling preferences and logistics
I want to track client scheduling preferences such as phone vs. email; which office they go to, or if they do phone or Zoom; who to reach out to (some spouses handle scheduling); and minor things like if they like coffee/tea.
Importantly, I want to be able to a) search by these categories and b) run reports based on them.
Ex. I could run a phone number report for people who want to schedule via phone but exclude people who prefer to schedule via email. Or I could run a report for people who meet at Office A, and it…

Meeting record
I want a tab or similar access to a record of actual client reviews/meetings that happened. I use the "first review date" to track the most recent review, but updating it effectively erases a record of when we met. We track that via activities or notes, but we use those features for many other events, so the meetings can get lost.
You should also be able to track reviews vs regular meetings. Sometimes a client has a quick question or a topic related meeting, which isn't a full review. I want to document these and have record of it.

Feature Request: Trigger Automation When an Account Changes From $0 Balance to “Funded”
Please add an automation trigger that fires when an account’s balance changes from $0.00 to > $0.00 (“funded”). This would let firms automatically notify staff to contact the client to confirm/celebrate the first funding and kick off next-step tasks.
New client accounts are often created days or weeks before assets arrive (ACATs, contributions, rollovers, etc.). During this gap, all contact data and workflow scaffolding exist, but there’s no native event in Redtail Automations / Workflows that detects the moment funds hit the account. Teams currently rely on manual monitoring or ad-hoc reports, which introduces delays and inconsistency in client communication…

More robust scheduling features
I want to see a record of each review/meeting with a client, showing a list of when we actually met. I use the "first review date" feature, but we update it each time a client comes in, effectively erasing the record of when they met. We use notes and completed activities to track this, but we use those features for many other things as well, so it can get lost.
I also want to be able to designate a review vs. a meeting, which might be quicker and more topic specific.
I also would like features that allow you to…

automation
I would like the automation triggers expanded to include when an activity (of a certain type, etc) is created. I want to send confirmation emails to clients upon scheduling appointments, which we track using the activity feature. However, the day the activity is scheduled for is different than the day the activity is created. I want the ability to link workflows for both triggers, as this makes confirmation and reminder emails easy.

Photo editor in email composer unusable
In order to add a photo to an email composed in Redtail, you have to upload to Imgur, copy the link, then edit the link. There are no instructions on how to do this and it is not user friendly.
You should be able to upload images directly from your computer.
Also, the resizing feature in the image uploader is broken. The photos are received full size no matter what size you make them in Redtail.
