Hey Coppernauts šŸ‘‹

Big news for your post-sale process...Copper just got way better at managing projects. With a handful of powerful new features, you can now organize, relate, and break down your work right where the relationship started—in your Pipeline! No new tools, switching back and forth, or getting lost in a sea of tabs. Just better visibility, smarter handoffs, and smoother delivery. Yep, you heard that right! Let’s take a tour of what’s new šŸš€

What’s new

šŸ”— Relate Pipeline records to each other

Tie projects to the deals that kicked them off, or connect related client work to keep everything in sync. Now, your workflows actually reflect your working relationships.

āœ… Subtasks

Break big tasks into smaller steps without losing the bigger picture. You can view these subtasks right from the Related tab and on the Task List View so context is always at your fingertips. Stay organized, delegate better, and keep complex work moving smoothly.

šŸ‘€ New Task List View upgrades

We’ve reimagined your Task List to make navigating work easier than ever:

  • Group tasks by owner, record, or due date

  • Drag + drop to reorder tasks in the "Related Tasks" section of records

  • View related records in a new column

  • Edit tasks inline in our refreshed People, Leads, Company, Opportunity and Project popovers

All this helps your team prioritize the right work—and stay focused.

šŸ’” Why you’ll love it

  • Stronger handoffs: Sales closes the deal. Projects pick it up—without losing momentum.

  • One source of truth: No more bouncing between apps or spreadsheets.

  • Fast task sorting: View work by person, project, or priority.

  • Clearer connections: See exactly how tasks and records relate.

Real Ways to Use This šŸ› ļø

Here’s how teams like yours are already using Copper’s new project tools to manage work more smoothly:

  • Onboarding new clients: A creative agency just signed a new retainer. From the closed deal, they kick off an onboarding project using a saved template, assigning tasks across design, strategy, and account teams. All tracked in one place.

  • Running multi-phase projects: A consulting firm managing a 3-month engagement sets up subtasks for each phase; research, execution, reporting. Tasks are assigned, reordered as timelines shift, and always visible to the whole team.

  • Managing ongoing retainer work: A digital agency delivers monthly SEO and content for multiple clients. They use task list views grouped by client or due date to keep everything clear and on track.

  • Collaborating across teams: A design studio working on a brand identity project assigns team members to the shared project record. Everyone stays aligned with real-time task updates and ownership.

  • Kicking off from templates: A PR agency launches new product campaigns from a reusable checklist—media outreach, content creation, events—all set up in seconds with templates.

  • Capturing one-off client requests: A client emails their account manager mid-project. Using Copper’s Chrome Extension, the AM creates a task right from their inbox, adds it to the project, and assigns it—no sticky notes, no missed steps.

  • Showing progress and value: A strategic services team uses organized task lists to keep internal teams focused—and to give clients regular milestone updates that highlight progress and ROI.

All these features are live and ready to use and we even have a couple new fresh features that will be released in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Start managing work where the relationship started. And if you’ve got feedback or ideas, we’re always listening—hit us up in the in-app chat! šŸ’¬

Here’s to smoother handoffs and smarter delivery,
