Two-Way Calendar Sync: Connect Google, Outlook, or iCloud to Your Opus1 Calendar
Staff could already sync their Opus1 calendar out to their personal one.

See it in action.

Move Prospects to Any Status, Automatically
Campaign stages can now automatically move a prospect to any status on your Prospects Board (not just Lost) based on triggers you define. As a result, once that new status makes them ineligible for the rest of a given campaign, sending stops on its own, and the right follow-up campaign for their new status picks up next. For example, a prospect who attends a trial and doesn’t enroll within 5 days moves to “Post-Trial Follow-Up” status, where a new campaign continues working them through Day 30.
This feature is part of Opus1 Plus. Contact your Customer Success Manager to learn more about upgrading.
What’s New:
- Move Prospects to Any Status: Configure a stage to automatically move a prospect into the status that actually reflects where they are, not only “Mark prospect as lost.”
