Product updates

What's new in Flowpera

Everything we ship, as we ship it — new features, improvements and the occasional fix.

v1.7New

Chat Widgets — embeddable chat that captures leads

Add a branded chat widget to any website in seconds. Enable live chat for real-time conversations with online teammates, or use lead-capture mode to collect name, email and custom questions — every conversation syncs straight into your CRM, deduped by email. Up to 5 widgets per workspace on every plan.

Chat Widgets

  • New

    Embeddable chat widgets

    Create a widget in the dashboard, pick your icon, colours and placement, then drop a single script tag or hosted iframe onto any site. The widget loads from your Flowpera domain and inherits its appearance instantly — change it in the dashboard and it updates everywhere.

  • New

    Live chat or lead capture — your call

    Turn on live chat and the widget shows visitors how many teammates are online and routes conversations in real time. Turn it off (or let it fall back when no one's around) and it becomes a lead form asking for name, email and your custom questions.

    Learn more
  • New

    Every chat becomes a contact

    Map the visitor's name, email and any question answers onto a contact list. Deduplication by email means returning visitors update their existing record — no duplicates, no manual merging.

    Learn more
  • New

    Shared workspace inbox

    All widget conversations land in a real-time inbox inside your workspace. Teammates claim chats, reply inline, track status (open/resolved/closed), and see who's online — no separate chat app needed.

    Learn more
  • New

    Teammate presence, respected

    The widget shows visitors a live count of online teammates. When the count drops to zero, it automatically switches to lead-capture mode with your custom offline note — so you never leave visitors hanging.

  • New

    Social links in the launcher

    Add links to Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or your website — visitors see them right in the widget launcher, so every touchpoint is one click away.

Team & CRM

  • New

    Chat Widgets module grant

    The new chat_widgets module can be granted per teammate — owners have it by default, and managers/staff get it when you unlock it. Up to 5 widgets per workspace on every plan, including Free.

v1.6New

Upgrade your plan yourself

Buying a paid plan no longer waits on us. Pick Starter, Team or Believer on your billing page, pay by card or PayPal through Lemon Squeezy, and your plan activates the moment payment clears.

Billing

  • New

    Self-serve plan checkout

    Your billing page now has a real buy button for each plan and billing period. Checkout runs on Lemon Squeezy — card and PayPal, secure and hosted — and your plan and limits switch on automatically the second the payment succeeds.

    Learn more
  • New

    Manage or cancel from your billing page

    Once you're on a paid plan, a Manage billing link opens your Lemon Squeezy customer portal — update your card, download receipts, or cancel. Cancelling keeps your access until the period you've paid for ends.

  • Improved

    Clearer account billing

    The billing page tells you what happened after a checkout — success, pending, or failed — instead of leaving you guessing, and warns you before starting a second subscription so you can never be double-charged by accident.

v1.5New

Booking forms grow a team

Booking forms can now belong to a team. Turn on team scheduling, give each member their own availability, and let clients pick who they're booking with — a time with one person never blocks another.

Booking & scheduling

  • New

    Per-team-member schedules

    On any booking form's Availability tab, turn on team scheduling and pick who's on the roster. Each person gets their own weekly hours or manual slots — turn it off and everyone returns to the shared schedule, with nothing deleted.

    Learn more
  • New

    Visitors pick a person first

    Multi-staff forms show a team picker before the calendar. Choosing someone filters the times to that person's availability, so double-booking a colleague is impossible — one booking only ever blocks the person it's with.

    Learn more
  • Improved

    Bookings show who they're with

    The form's Bookings tab and the calendar display which team member each appointment belongs to, and the Add booking dialog asks for a person on team-aware forms.

  • Fixed

    The public page now sees taken times

    The booking page's slot filter was silently reading through a permission it didn't have, so overlapping offers could slip through. Times are now read through a dedicated timing-only lookup — the page shows what's actually free.

Team

  • Fixed

    Invitations land with the right person

    Pending invitations were surfacing on the dashboard of the person who sent them instead of the person they were meant for. The inbox now shows only invitations addressed to you — accept or reject them right there.

v1.4New

Start selling — products, a storefront and payments

Flowpera can now take money. Build a catalog of products and services, publish a public storefront, and collect card payments through your own Stripe account — on your shop, inside your booking and custom forms, and on every invoice. And each form now shows you how well its link is performing.

Products, storefront & payments

  • New

    A product & service catalog

    Add products and services with a price, description, image and category. Mark items active to sell them, or hide one without deleting it — your whole offering in one place.

    Learn more
  • New

    A public storefront with a real cart

    Turn on a storefront at your own address, brand it with a headline and accent colour, and let customers add items to a cart and check out through Stripe — no account needed. After paying, they get an order page and an invoice.

    Learn more
  • New

    Bring your own Stripe account

    Connect your Stripe keys under API & Integration and money goes straight to you — Flowpera never touches your funds. Your keys are encrypted the same way as your email key and never shown back to your team.

    Learn more
  • New

    Paid booking forms and paid submissions

    Attach a product to any booking or custom form and choose, per form, between requiring payment up front — the slot is held until it clears — or emailing an invoice to pay later.

  • New

    Pay any invoice online

    Every invoice you send now gains a Pay button on its private link, so clients can settle by card in seconds — and it's marked paid automatically the moment the payment clears.

    Learn more

Forms & scheduling

  • New

    See how your form links perform

    Booking forms and custom forms now track their visits. Each form's Share tab shows total views, an estimate of unique visitors, views in the last 7 days, and a conversion rate from views to bookings or submissions.

    Learn more
v1.3Launching soon

Polished, tested, and almost here

This release is about making everything that's already here feel better — smoother, clearer, quicker — and running Flowpera through a thorough pre-launch shakedown. The result is a calmer product with fewer rough edges, and a launch that's just around the corner.

Polish & pre-launch

  • Improved

    Improved and enhanced user experience

    Refinements across the app and the marketing site — clearer layouts, smoother scrolling and navigation, and quieter, more consistent screens — so the everyday paths through Flowpera feel lighter and more considered.

  • Fixed

    Pre-launch debugging, done

    We've completed a full pre-launch pass: exercising the flows end to end, tightening the edges, and fixing the issues we found along the way — so the first thing you do in Flowpera works the way it should.

  • New

    Launching soon

    Everything's in place and the finish line is in sight — Flowpera is launching soon! Start free today and you'll be set up and ready before the doors swing fully open.

v1.2

Support, around the clock

Getting help shouldn't depend on what time zone you're in. Flowpera now has a support ticket system and a chat widget on every page — so there's always somewhere to ask, at any hour, and a thread that remembers the answer.

Support

  • New

    Support tickets

    Open a ticket from Help & Support in your dashboard: give it a subject, a category and an urgency, and we reply in the thread. You can edit the details, add a reply, resolve it or close it — and writing back on a resolved ticket reopens it automatically, so nothing you raise gets quietly lost. Every ticket stays in your account, so you can pick a conversation back up months later.

  • New

    Live chat on every page

    A chat widget now sits on the marketing site and throughout the app. Tell it who you are and which team you need — General, Sales, Technical or Billing — and it answers straight away, at any hour. Signed in? It already knows your name and email, so it only asks which team you want. When you'd rather have a person, it hands you over to one.

  • Improved

    Answers that admit what they don't know

    The chatbot answers from a written knowledge base rather than making things up. When it doesn't have a good answer, it says so and points you at a human instead of guessing — we'd rather be honest than confident.

v1.1

Invoicing, and twenty-five new templates

Invoicing arrives: brand an invoice once, and Flowpera emails it the moment you create it and chases it the day before it's due. And because starting from a blank page is the slowest part of setting anything up, we wrote the starting points for you — across booking forms, custom forms and invoices.

Invoicing

  • New

    Fifteen invoice templates, whitelabelled

    Classic, modern, minimal, bold and receipt, joined by corporate, elegant, compact, statement, sidebar, banded, monochrome, grid, subscription and work order. There's a layout for a boxed VAT/GST invoice, a mono-friendly print, a long itemised job, a recurring bill and a field-service job sheet with a signature line. Pick one, add your logo, business details, accent colour and payment instructions, and preview it live as you type — branding is snapshotted at issue time, so rebranding tomorrow never rewrites what you sent last month.

    Learn more
  • New

    Emailed the moment you create it

    The invoice goes straight to your client's inbox on creation. They open a private page at /i/… with no account needed, and save a crisp, selectable PDF in one click.

  • New

    Due-date reminders that send themselves

    A daily job emails a polite reminder one day before an invoice is due, skips anything already paid, and marks overdue invoices for you. The subject and message are editable per workspace or per invoice, with zero-edit defaults that suit any business.

    Learn more

API & integrations

  • New

    Bring your own Resend account

    Connect your Resend API key and invoices and reminders leave from your verified domain, under your brand. Keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they touch the database, never returned to a browser, and visible only as their last four characters.

    Learn more
  • New

    A warning before it matters

    Invoice and settings pages tell you up front when no Resend account is connected, so you find out before a client's invoice goes out from the wrong address — not after.

Booking & scheduling

  • New

    Booking form templates

    New booking forms can now start from a template: Discovery Call, Product Demo, Strategy Consultation, Interview Call or In-person Appointment. Each one arrives with a sensible duration, buffer and notice period, its weekly hours already filled in, and the questions worth asking — all of it editable.

    Learn more

Custom forms

  • New

    Ten more form templates

    Job Application, Support Ticket, Newsletter Signup, Client Onboarding, Product Order, Service/Maintenance Request, Course Registration, Testimonial Request, Refund/Return and Time Off Request — joining the originals, now grouped by category in the picker.

  • New

CRM, contacts & leads

  • New

    Contact lists built around your data

    Learn more
  • New

    Leads that capture themselves

    Point a booking form or a custom form at a contact list and every submission becomes a contact, deduped by email, with its source recorded. No exports, no copy-paste, no duplicates.

    Learn more

Custom forms

  • New

    Four templates, or a blank canvas

    Spin up a Contact Us, Lead / Quote, Event RSVP or Feedback form pre-filled with sensible questions — or build your own from scratch with text, dropdown, single-choice and checkbox fields.

    Learn more
  • New

    A public page, a link and an embed

    Every form gets a clean page at /cf/your-form, a direct link and an embed snippet for your own site. Toggle a form active or paused as campaigns come and go.

  • New

    One place for every response

    An entries view collects submissions across all your forms, and a settings overview shows each form's status, public link and where it syncs.

Team & tasks

  • New

    Owner, manager and staff

    A clear three-role model with per-user module access grants: only the owner can delete, managers can always read, and staff see a module only once it's granted.

    Learn more
  • New

    Tasks and discussions

    Multi-assignee tasks with due dates, priorities, tags and notes, plus owner-managed discussion channels with real-time messages and unread counts.

  • New

    In-app invitations

Plans, dashboards & account

  • New

    Four plans, from free to lifetime

    Free forever, Starter at $9/mo, Team at $16/mo, and a $499 one-time Believer plan. Every module is included on every plan — plans differ only by limits.
