# What's New?

We are adding new features and improvements to Rechat on a weekly basis. The most important features and improvement are recorded here so you can keep up with us!

​


# Connect Rechat to Your AI Assistant

Connect Rechat to supported AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to search contacts and listings, check transactions, create marketing, and complete everyday work through a conversation.

<figure><img src="/files/QI3Tq276Nt6WXeOkMh9d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Bring Rechat Into the AI Assistant You Already Use

Rechat now supports Model Context Protocol, or MCP, giving supported AI assistants a direct connection to your Rechat account.

Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant to work with the contacts, listings, deals, tasks, calendar events, and marketing tools available to you in Rechat.

No exporting data. No copying and pasting between systems. Just ask.

### What Can You Do?

With the Rechat connection, you can:

* Find and update contacts in your People Center
* Research comparable properties and create a Rechat CMA
* Review transactions, statuses, prices, and important dates
* Create listing marketing, email campaigns, postcards, and property websites
* Add tasks and reminders or review your calendar
* Combine Rechat with information from other tools connected to your AI assistant

For example, you could ask:

* “Find my past clients I haven’t contacted in six months.”
* “Show me comparable sales near 123 Main Street.”
* “What transactions are closing this month?”
* “Create a Just Listed social post for my new listing.”
* “Draft a market-update email for contacts tagged Homeowner.”

### Why Connect Rechat to Another AI Assistant?

Lucy already brings Rechat-specific AI directly into the platform. Connecting Rechat to another AI assistant is especially valuable when you want to use Rechat alongside your other tools and information in the same conversation.

You could pair live Rechat data with your brokerage’s training materials, reporting systems, internal documentation, or other connected business tools.

Rechat becomes the hub for your real estate business, while your AI assistant helps bring everything together.

### Get Connected

You can currently connect Rechat to supported AI tools using the following MCP address:

{% hint style="success" icon="link-horizontal" %}
`https://mcp.cluster.rechat.com/mcp`
{% endhint %}

Claude currently offers the most tested Rechat experience. ChatGPT also supports the connection, although availability and setup options may depend on your plan and workspace permissions.

# Seller Report

Show Sellers the Work Behind Their Listing

Your sellers want to know what you’re doing to market their home.

The new **Seller Report** gives them a clear, professional view of the work happening behind the scenes, including emails, social posts, ads, print pieces, and the results behind them.

Everything is brought together in one report that is ready to share.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/s/ov7fcbuvliqmks4>" %}

### What Is the Seller Report?

The Seller Report is a new Rechat feature that turns your listing marketing into a clean, easy-to-read report for your seller.

Instead of sending a few numbers or explaining your activity piece by piece, you can show the full story of how the listing has been marketed.

The Seller Report can include:

* Marketing emails
* Email performance, including opens and clicks
* Social media posts
* Digital advertising
* Print marketing
* A timeline of marketing activity

### Get Started

Create a Seller Report from the Marketing Center and share your listing marketing as a downloadable PDF or interactive flipbook.

<a href="/pages/Z3LpT1hBhsa5LJgUEjHp" class="button primary" data-icon="head-side-gear">Learn More</a>


# AI Captions for Social Posts

Spend less time writing captions and more time posting.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/s/odiiqq4jhpdgg54>" %}

Creating engaging social media content is one of the best ways to stay connected with your sphere, but coming up with something to say for every listing, open house, holiday, or market update can slow you down. Rechat now helps by automatically generating AI-powered caption suggestions directly within the Social Post builder.

Whether you're marketing a new listing or sharing a branded holiday graphic, AI Captions gives you a strong first draft you can personalize before publishing.

#### Take a Tour

{% embed url="<https://studio.saltfish.ai/demo-share/demo_1784569396364_9p9j1dhpr>" %}

### What's New?

When creating a Social Post in Rechat, you can now generate an AI-written caption based on the content of your post.

Rather than starting with a blank text box, Rechat analyzes what's being shared—including your listing details, images, or marketing template—and generates a caption designed to match your post.

Review it, make any edits you'd like, and publish with confidence.

### Smarter Captions for Every Post

AI Captions adapts to the type of content you're creating.

For **listing-based posts**, captions are generated using available property information and imagery to create messaging that's relevant to the home being promoted.

For **non-listing posts**, such as holidays, celebrations, community content, or brand-building graphics, captions are generated using the template itself, helping you maintain an engaging social presence even when you're not promoting a property.

### Built Into Your Existing Workflow

There's nothing new to learn.

AI Captions is available directly inside the Social Post builder you already use. There's no separate application, no complicated prompts, and no additional setup required.

Simply generate a caption, make it your own if you'd like, and publish.

{% hint style="info" %}
AI creates an excellent starting point, but your personality is what builds relationships. Add your own local insight, market knowledge, or call-to-action before publishing to make every post feel authentically yours.
{% endhint %}

### Why You'll Love It

AI Captions helps you:

* Spend less time writing social media copy
* Stay consistent with your marketing
* Create captions tailored to each type of post
* Overcome writer's block with a strong first draft
* Keep your focus on building relationships—not writing captions

### Available Now

AI Captions is available for both **listing** and **non-listing** Social Posts in Rechat, making it easier than ever to create polished, engaging content in just a few clicks.


# Lucy AI Gets Even Smarter

Lucy is now more than an AI writing assistant. She's your AI real estate copilot.

Lucy has always helped agents write emails, create marketing, and capture client conversations. With this release, Lucy expands into every stage of your workflow—from researching properties and building CMAs to managing contacts, tasks, deals, calendars, and marketing campaigns.

Whether you're preparing for a listing appointment, following up with clients, or launching marketing for a new listing, Lucy helps you spend less time switching between tools and more time serving your clients.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/s/ui1kpdy5rok7crv>" %}

Provide a property address, MLS number, or listing details, and Lucy can:

* Find the subject property
* Research comparable sales
* Select and analyze strong comps

For off-market properties, Lucy can even geocode the address and build a CMA using nearby MLS data.

No more jumping between multiple tools before your next listing appointment.

***

Ask Lucy using everyday language.

Instead of manually building searches, simply ask Lucy what you're looking for.

***

Lucy can retrieve market statistics for cities, neighborhoods, and ZIP Codes, including:

* Median pricing
* Sales activity

Lucy now creates even more marketing content than before.

Generate:

* Email campaigns

* Flyers
* Brochures
* Postcards
* Letters
* Open House marketing
* Holiday & seasonal campaigns

Already created something? Continue refining your marketing within the same conversation instead of starting over.

***

#### 🌐 Build Listing Websites

Launching a new listing?

Ask Lucy to create a listing website from:

* Property address
* MLS Number
* Listing ID

Lucy can also update existing listing websites, helping you move from listing to launch even faster.

***

#### 👥 Manage Contacts, Tasks & Deals

Lucy now helps manage your business—not just your marketing.

You can ask Lucy to:

* Find or update contacts
* Create contacts
* Organize contacts with tags
* Create follow-up tasks

It's like having an assistant that understands your CRM.

***

#### 📅 Check Your Calendar

Need to know if you're available?

Ask Lucy about your upcoming schedule or availability during a specific timeframe without navigating away from your conversation.

### Get Started

Open Lucy and start asking questions naturally.

Try prompts like:

* "Create a CMA for 123 Main Street."
* "Find 3-bedroom homes under $700,000 within five miles."
* "Show me market statistics for Princeton, NJ."
* "Create a listing website for MLS #123456."
* "Write a Just Listed email for my newest listing."
* "Show me my pending deals closing this month."
* "What does my schedule look like tomorrow afternoon?"

The more you use Lucy, the more it becomes your AI-powered real estate assistant.

# Applications Management

Brokerage Administrators can now manage applications directly within Rechat. Install, organize, and configure App Store apps, Website Links, Single Sign-On (SSO) integrations, and Custom Applications.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/qmiu3opsdl/manage>" %}

## Applications Management Is Here

Rechat's new **Applications Management** experience gives Brokerage Administrators greater control over the tools and resources available to their users.

From a single location, administrators can install applications, configure integrations, organize where applications appear throughout Rechat, and even deploy Custom Applications built specifically for their organization.

Whether you're connecting a third-party platform, providing quick access to internal resources, or extending Rechat with custom-built solutions, Applications Management provides a flexible foundation for creating a more connected experience.

***

### What's New?

Brokerage Administrators can now:

* Install applications from the Rechat App Store
* Create Website Links to external tools and resources
* Configure Single Sign-On (SSO) applications using SAML
* Install Custom Applications using a manifest URL
* Organize applications by workspace
* Edit and remove installed applications

All application management is performed directly within the **Applications** section of your Brokerage Settings.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Applications Management is only available to Brokerage Administrators.
{% endhint %}

***

### Organize Applications by Workflow

Applications can now be assigned to different areas of Rechat depending on when and where users need access to them.

Available application locations include:

#### Today

Display frequently used applications and resources directly on the Today page.

#### Contact Profile

Provide applications while viewing an individual contact.

#### Contact List

Surface tools designed for workflows involving multiple contacts.

#### Deals

Make transaction-related applications available directly within Deals.

This allows brokerages to create a more contextual experience by placing applications where they provide the most value.

***

### More Than Just Integrations

Applications Management supports several different application types, giving brokerages flexibility in how they extend Rechat.

#### Rechat App Store

Browse and install supported applications directly from the Rechat App Store.

#### Website Links

Provide quick access to external websites, resources, or internal tools.

#### Single Sign-On (SSO)

Configure supported SAML-based applications so users can securely access connected platforms.

#### Custom Applications

Organizations with internal development resources or technology partners can build custom applications that integrate directly with Rechat.

Custom Applications can appear alongside native Rechat functionality, allowing organizations to deliver specialized workflows without requiring users to leave the platform.

***

### Why It Matters

Every brokerage has its own technology stack, business processes, and operational workflows.

Applications Management gives organizations the flexibility to bring those tools into Rechat, creating a more connected experience for agents while reducing the need to switch between multiple platforms.

Whether you're installing an application from the App Store, providing access to an internal resource, or deploying a custom-built solution, Applications Management makes it easier to deliver the right tools in the right place.

# Automated Market Reports

Stay in touch with your database automatically by enrolling contacts in recurring monthly Market Reports.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/s/dx5s33h1xl8cza4>" %}

With Automated Market Reports, you can subscribe individual contacts—or multiple contacts at once—to receive a Market Report immediately and then continue receiving updated reports every month.

Whether you're nurturing buyers, homeowners, investors, or past clients, Automated Market Reports make it easy to stay relevant with timely market insights without manually sending reports each month.

### What's New

You can now:

* Subscribe a single contact to recurring Market Reports
* Subscribe multiple contacts at once
* Choose who the report is sent from
* Select Single Region or Multi Region Market Report templates
* Customize the report subject line
* Track delivery, open rates, and click activity
* Edit an existing Market Report subscription
* Stop Market Report subscriptions at any time

### How It Works

When you enroll a contact:

1. The first Market Report is sent immediately.
2. The contact is automatically subscribed to receive future Market Reports every month.
3. Rechat tracks delivery and engagement directly from the contact record.

{% content-ref url="/pages/iCm6pAmvesZQ3X8WHV8b" %}
[Automated Market Reports](/guides/marketing/marketing-center/automated-market-reports)
{% endcontent-ref %}


# Testimonials

Collect, manage, and showcase client testimonials directly within Rechat.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/s/02e94vwbhcfqovi>" %}

### Overview

Testimonials help you turn positive client experiences into powerful marketing assets. With Testimonials, you can request feedback from clients, import existing reviews, organize them in a central library, and reuse them throughout your marketing.

Whether you're asking a recent client for feedback or showcasing years of positive reviews, Testimonials makes it easy to build trust and generate future business.

### What's Included

✔ Request testimonials from clients by email

✔ Collect testimonials directly from your contacts

✔ Import existing Zillow testimonials

✔ Manually add testimonials you've received elsewhere

✔ Organize testimonials with tags

✔ Receive notifications when new testimonials are submitted

✔ Use testimonials in email campaigns, websites, and presentations

### How It Works

Step 1: Collect testimonials from your clients.

Step 2: Manage and organize them in your Testimonials library.

Step 3: Add testimonials to your marketing materials to build trust and generate referrals.

### Why Testimonials Matter

Client testimonials provide social proof that helps future clients feel confident choosing you as their agent.

Instead of keeping reviews scattered across multiple platforms, Testimonials creates a centralized library you can use throughout Rechat.

# Admin: Inbox Notification Settings for Transactions

Admins can now customize which transaction inboxes send them email notifications, helping them stay on top of the updates that matter most to them and their role.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/p20013e4gj/manage>" %}

New **Inbox Notification Settings** are now available within Transactions, allowing admins to:

* Choose which inbox tabs send email alerts
* Reduce unnecessary notification noise
* Stay updated on important transaction activity like commissions and deal updates
* Personalize your notification experience based on your workflow

### How It Works

Within Transactions, admins will now see a new **Inbox Notifications** icon where they can manage  notification preferences.

Simply:

1. Navigate to **Transactions**
2. Click the **Inbox Notifications** icon
3. Toggle email notifications on or off for desired inboxes
4. Close the panel to automatically save your preferences

Your settings are saved instantly and can be updated anytime.

{% embed url="<https://studio.saltfish.ai/demo-share/demo_1780343229133_vmhignt7r>" %}


# Automatic Marketing Drafts

Rechat now automatically saves your marketing drafts while you work.

Previously, the only way to save certain marketing pieces as a draft was by scheduling them for later. With this update, drafts are now automatically created when you click **Save & Continue** during the send flow for:

* Email
* Social Media
* Print Marketing

This creates a more familiar, Gmail-like experience where your work is preserved automatically while you continue building your campaign.

### What Changed?

#### Automatic Draft Creation

When using the send/schedule workflow in Marketing Center, clicking **Save & Continue** will now automatically create a draft behind the scenes.

You no longer need to schedule something just to preserve your progress.

#### New “Drafts” Tab in Insights

A new **Drafts** tab has been added next to **Scheduled** in the Marketing Insights section.

This gives you a centralized place to quickly return to unfinished or in-progress marketing pieces.

#### Drafts Also Available in History

Saved drafts can also be accessed directly from:

* Marketing → History
* Marketing → Insights → Drafts

If you can’t find something you previously saved, check either of these locations.

#### Archived Tab Removed from the UI

The **Archived** tab has been removed from the visible History interface to simplify navigation and reduce confusion.

### Why This Matters

This update helps prevent lost work and creates a more seamless marketing workflow.

Whether you’re building an email campaign, preparing social media content, or designing print marketing, Rechat now automatically preserves your progress as you move through the send flow.

# Service Network: Connect Clients With Your Trusted Providers

Introduce your trusted partners at the right moment in every deal. With Service Network, you can seamlessly connect agents, clients, and preferred providers, without changing how your team works.

<figure><img src="/files/PwiP4hkjQxxW1AUzo1NO" alt="Promotional Image Showcasing Service Network"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Put Your Preferred Partners Inside Your Agents' Workflow

Your brokerage already has the right partners — mortgage, title, insurance, and more. Now, Rechat brings them directly into your agents' workflow so every transaction becomes an opportunity to deliver a better client experience.

Introducing Service Network, a smarter way to connect your agents with your trusted providers at the right moment.

Clients retain full choice of provider at every step. Provider placement is determined by the brokerage based on quality and fit — providers don't pay for placement or priority.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/ms37ho5czi>" %}

#### Why This Matters

* Strengthen Partner Relationships Make it easy for agents to work with the providers your brokerage already trusts.
* Create a Better Client Experience Your clients get seamless, vetted recommendations — no guesswork.
* Consistent Experience Across Your Brokerage Every agent has access to the same vetted providers, presented professionally.
* Built Into Existing Workflows No new tools to learn — this lives directly inside the platform your agents already use.

#### What’s New

* A centralized hub to manage all your service providers
* Structured service categories (Mortgage, Title, Insurance, etc.)
* A clean, modern agent-facing experience to introduce providers
* Enhanced provider profiles with branding, descriptions, and contact info
* Easy admin controls to manage and update providers at scale

# View Email in Browser

Give your recipients a seamless backup way to view your emails—perfect for sharing, texting, and ensuring nothing gets missed. Instantly turn any email into a shareable web link.

<figure><img src="/files/f7JNSVKjzS7PHsEMSvBu" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Ever sent an email that didn’t display quite right, or wished you could quickly share it via text or social?

**Now you can.**

With **View Email in Browser**, you can add a button to your email that allows recipients to open a fully formatted web version of your message in their browser.

#### Why This Matters

This isn’t just a “nice to have”, it unlocks entirely new ways to use your email content:

* **📱 Text your email as a link** Send your newsletter or listing email via text message by sharing the browser link.
* **🏡 Share listings more easily** Include the link in conversations, DMs, or follow-ups when a client prefers not to dig through email.
* **🖥️ Ensure perfect formatting** If an email client cuts off images or formatting, recipients can view the full experience in their browser.
* **🔁 Reuse your content anywhere** Drop the link into social media, CRM notes, or follow-up messages.

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/o0CoF8vele1BFrZLT2uh" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### **Design Email Templates in Figma — Without the Headaches**

If you’ve ever tried designing email templates in Figma, you know the challenge:

Email layouts are **not forgiving**.\
One small mistake in structure can break the entire design once it’s sent.

That’s exactly why we’ve enhanced the Rechat Figma Plugin.

***

### **What’s Improved**

#### **Smarter Structure, Built for You**

You no longer need to manually think through rows and columns.

Now, when you add elements like images or text, the plugin:

* Ensures everything is email-compliant
* Prevents common formatting issues

👉 *Less setup, fewer mistakes.*

***

#### **Design Faster with Less Guesswork**

Instead of building from scratch, you can now:

* Drop in elements like text, images, and buttons
* Let the plugin handle the structure behind the scenes
* Focus purely on design

👉 *Spend more time designing, less time troubleshooting.*

***

#### **Built Specifically for Email**

Email design comes with limitations — and this update embraces them.

The plugin now guides you toward:

* Clean, simple layouts
* Proper spacing and structure
* Designs that actually render correctly in inboxes

👉 *What you design in Figma is what your audience sees.*

***

### **Why We Made This Change**

We’ve seen firsthand that:

* Designing in Figma is powerful, but
* Translating those designs into email-ready templates can be frustrating

This update removes that friction by **bridging the gap between design and execution**.

***

### **What This Means for You**

* Create email templates faster
* Avoid broken layouts and rendering issues
* Empower your team to design confidently in Figma

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/py3p0sms8v>" %}

Lucy just got a memory upgrade.

Meet **AI Memo** — a new way to capture your client conversations and turn them into clear next steps automatically.

Record a meeting (with permission), or simply dictate what just happened. Lucy will generate a clean summary, key takeaways, and suggested follow-ups — no note-taking required.

# Flipbook: A Better Way to Present Your Listings

Your presentations just got an upgrade. With Flipbook, you can turn your existing Rechat presentations into an interactive, page-flipping experience that feels like a high-end printed booklet.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/ny7dcvgoi5>" %}

When you're presenting to clients, **how you present matters just as much as what you present**.

Flipbook helps you:

* Stand out in listing presentations with a polished, premium experience
* Walk clients through your materials in a more engaging, easy-to-follow format

#### What is Flipbook?

Flipbook is a **new presentation mode inside Rechat** that transforms your Print View presentations into an interactive, page-turning experience. It’s the digital equivalent of handing your client a beautifully printed booklet—but faster, easier, and fully shareable.

#### How to Access Flipbook

Flipbook can be generated from multiple places inside Rechat:

* From **Presentations**
* From **Print (Brochures)**

# Design in Canva. Export directly to Rechat.

<figure><img src="/files/kH45yQ7l1q5LdpP97bZQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can now connect **Canva to Rechat** to design marketing assets with full creative freedom, then export them straight into your **Marketing Center** as ready-to-use templates.

With the Rechat Canva app, you can:

* Import **live property data** (photos, price, description, status, etc.)
* Import **agent details** (name, title, headshot, contact info)
* Design freely in Canva
* Export directly to Rechat as a branded marketing asset\*

No downloading. No re-uploading. No manual edits.

Simply design → export → use in Rechat.

{% content-ref url="/pages/ACIWgGFt8BZZId4RUp6H" %}
[Canva](/guides/marketing/marketing-center/canva)
{% endcontent-ref %}

#### Important: Canva exports create Assets, not Templates

Designs exported from Canva are saved to Rechat as **Assets**, not **Templates**.

**What’s the difference?**

* **Templates** → Editable inside Rechat (text, photos, layout, colors)
* **Assets** → Finalized designs that cannot be edited in Rechat

If you need to make changes later, simply update the design in Canva and re-export.

# Faster Contact Filtering

We’ve made it faster and easier to find the right contacts. Your most-used filters are now always visible, so you can sort, segment, and take action without extra clicks.

<figure><img src="/files/7byRK54GMX1ZORTo7qo4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### **What Changed (and Why It Matters)**

Finding the right people in your database should be quick, especially when you’re following up, prospecting, or preparing for appointments.

Previously, filtering contacts required multiple steps:

* Open the Filter dropdown
* Choose a filter
* Select the criteria

Now, **your most commonly used filters are available instantly at the top of your contacts list**, saving time and keeping your workflow moving.

#### 1. All Contacts&#x20;

**What it does:** Shows your entire contact database.\
**Why it matters:** Use this as your starting point when you want a full view of your sphere, database size, or total contacts.

#### **2. Leads**

**What it does:** Filters your list to show only lead contacts.\
**Why it matters:** Perfect for daily follow-up, pipeline review, and staying focused on active opportunities.

#### 3. Tags

**What it does:** Filters contacts by one or more tags (Buyer, Seller, Open House, Past Client, Newsletter, and more).\
**Why it matters:** Tags power your segmentation. Faster access means quicker outreach and more targeted communication.

#### **4. Parked Contacts**

**What it does:** Shows contacts that are temporarily set aside from your active workflow.\
**Why it matters:** Keeps your main contact list clean while still giving you quick access to contacts you may want to revisit later.

#### **5. Assignee**

**What it does:** Filters contacts by who they’re assigned to.\
**Why it matters:** Ideal for teams and shared lead management so you always know who owns the next follow-up.

#### **6. Flow**

**What it does:** Filters contacts based on what Flow they’re enrolled into (automation).\
**Why it matters:** Quickly see who’s being nurtured automatically and who may need manual follow-up or a new flow.

#### **7. More**

**What it does:**\
Gives you access to additional, less frequently used filters, including:

* Open House
* Birthday
* Child Birthday
* Home Anniversary
* Wedding Anniversary
* Work Anniversary
* Origin
* Title

**Why it matters:**\
These filters are perfect for more intentional outreach like anniversary check-ins, birthday touches, open house follow-up, or refining your database by where contacts came from. Keeping them under **More** keeps your main view clean while still giving you powerful options when you need them.

# Send CMAs Directly from the History Tab

We’ve made it even easier to share your Comparative Market Analyses (CMAs) with clients — no extra clicks or editor loading required.

<figure><img src="/files/4xy7Dip9y79xFobPryqc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### ✨ What’s New

Instead of opening the CMA editor to email your report, you’ll now see an **Email button** right in your **History tab gallery view** (as shown above).

Click **Email** to open a message slide-out on the right side of your screen.

***

### 💌 How It Works

1. **Go to**: `Marketing > History > Presentations`
2. Hover over the CMA you’d like to send.

**Send Me a Test Email**

<figure><img src="/files/ASgZ9wXCxb2bzY0T8bU2" alt=""><figcaption><p>Updated Preview Options</p></figcaption></figure>

### Why This Matters?

# Marketing History Page: 'My Designs' Now Labeled 'Archived'

We are excited to announce that admins can now create and manage Open House registration pages while impersonating agents.

#### How It Works

# A Simpler Navigation Experience

We’ve made key improvements to enhance your experience, whether you're an agent on the go or an admin managing multiple priorities.

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/E4zFVg3jJFUZfAFip9BM" alt=""><figcaption><p>🎥 Check It Out Below!</p></figcaption></figure></div>

Whether you’re an agent on the go or an admin managing multiple priorities, our goal is to make your experience more intuitive, streamlined, and efficient.

## 🔄 Redesigned Sidebar – Built for Clarity

We’ve restructured the **Sidebar** to better match how you work.\
What’s changing:

* **Simplified Navigation**: Menu items will no longer auto-expand when active, reducing accidental clicks and visual clutter.
* **Consistent Access**: Inner items are now easily accessible at all times—whether the sidebar is minimized or expanded.
* **Sidebar Lock Option**: Prefer your sidebar open? A new lock feature lets you keep it that way.

## 🌟 Introducing the New Header

To make room for what matters most, we’re moving some key tools into a sleek new **Header**:

* **Lucy**, your built-in AI assistant, is ready to help.
* **HelpDesk & Live Support** are now just one click away.
* Stay informed with **What’s New** and **Notifications**.
* Your **User Profile** has moved up top—but don’t worry, it still functions exactly the same.

## ✨ Smooth Animations & Transitions

We’re also introducing subtle animations for sidebar expansion and collapse, making every interaction feel smooth and modern.

# Email Drafts & Impersonation Support in Marketing Center

We’re excited to introduce a major update to Rechat’s Marketing Center—Email Drafts! This enhancement improves the way Admins and Agents collaborate.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/ec2ln0aa24>" %}

## **Key Updates:**

* **New ‘Save as Draft’ Button:** When composing an email, you can now save it as a draft instead of sending it immediately.

<figure><img src="/files/WakvxkOYcJZPE8Z7Ap19" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Improved Impersonation Support:** Admins can now create email drafts for agents, who can then review and send them out.
* **Refined ‘Drafts’ Experience in History Tab:** Previously, the ‘Drafts’ tab displayed saved designs rather than true email drafts. This has been corrected, and real drafts will now appear here.
* **New ‘My Designs’ Tab:** To maintain access to previously saved designs, we’ve introduced the **My Designs** tab, which stores all user-saved templates.

## **How It Works:**

1. **Drafts:** Displays draft emails for the current Account/Team.
2. **Sent:** Shows emails that have already been sent for the current Account/Team.
3. **My Designs:** Stores saved templates specific to the logged-in user, accessible regardless what account you're switched into.

<figure><img src="/files/RWI0HpFE78hp4VVGYqGx" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This update ensures a smoother workflow for Admins and Agents while providing better organization and clarity for saved and draft content.


# Manage Duplicate Contacts, Simplified

We’ve improved the Manage Duplicate Contacts screen to make it easier than ever to clean up your contact list and keep your data accurate.

Now, when multiple contacts share the same email address, you’ll see a streamlined modal with each contact’s **Name, Email, Phone, and Address**. You can choose which contact to keep as the **Primary**, then decide how to handle the duplicates:

* **Merge All**
* **Dismiss All**
* Or **Merge One-by-One** for more control

## **Step 1: Open the Duplicate Contacts Screen**

Click the **Duplicate Contacts** button located in the upper-right corner of the People screen, next to the search bar and select **Duplicate Contacts**.

<figure><img src="/files/qErk32ETBXcUgg4lGhw7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## **Step 2: Review and Choose Your Action**

The modal shows all contacts that share an email. From here, you can choose to **Merge All**, **Dismiss All**, or go through them individually.

<figure><img src="/files/ZvDCia7gBvotpND9MYw8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## **Step 3: Select the Primary Contact**

For each duplicate group, pick which contact you want to retain as the **Primary**—this will be the one that keeps the most accurate or complete info.

<figure><img src="/files/fFtpjfBMH5KtcM2YdVBv" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Keeping your contacts clean helps ensure your emails reach the right people, your marketing stays on point, and your follow-ups are always accurate.

A few quick clicks now = a smoother workflow later!

     * Enter your payment information.
       * Your card will be charged once your ad has been published on the scheduled date.

## View Ad Insights!

Once your campaign is live, head over to **Insight** in your **Marketing Center** to view detailed performance data and track your ad's performance. You’ll be able to review a set of insights that provide essential metrics about how the ad performed.

We've made it easier for brokerages to manage their universal settings in one centralized place. Now, admins can configure global settings and customize options for regions, offices, teams & agents.

# Admin Impersonation for Websites & Presentations

Learn about the latest update to Rechat’s Websites & Presentations, which now displays content based on the current account (brand) rather than the logged-in member.

We've updated the **Websites** and **Presentations** sections in Rechat to improve how admins manage and create content for agents. Previously, when switching between accounts, the list of websites and presentations remained tied to the logged-in member, or admin. Now, the content displayed will belong to the **current account (agent)** you're switched into.

<figure><img src="/files/GHmxaTCyoHm4LdU7ZNl9" alt=""><figcaption><p>Example of Team Switching</p></figcaption></figure>

## **What’s Changing?**

* **Before:** You could only see websites and presentations created by yourself, regardless of which account (brand) you switched to.
* **Now:** When you switch to an agent’s account (brand), you will see their **websites and presentations** instead of your own.
* **Benefit:** Admins can now create and modify websites and presentations for agents within their accounts, making content management more efficient.

## **Key Impact**

* Some members may think their websites or presentations are missing. If you don’t see a **Website** or **Presentation** you've created, you are likely under an account that doesn’t own that specific design.
* This change lays the groundwork for similar updates coming soon to **Open House, Email, Social,** and **Print** sections.

## **Next Steps for Admins**

If you manage multiple accounts, ensure you're switched to the correct **brand account** when looking for or creating websites or presentations.

## **What Changed?**

* The creation of **Listing Websites, Agent Websites, and Presentations** has moved to the **Marketing Center** for a more intuitive workflow.
* Any Websites or Presentations you’ve **already created** can now be found in **History** instead of the sidebar.

<figure><img src="/files/o2mJoxk2K4KLgS6dFXpg" alt=""><figcaption><p>Access Already Made Websites &#x26; Presentations via History</p></figcaption></figure>

## **What Stays the Same?**

# Email Quota

Rechat has made it even easier to see exactly how many emails you've sent month-to-date, as well as how many emails you have remaining for the month.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/k5xivl6t7n>" %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/82RfifmYgI7ehgskCafG" %}
[Email Quota](/guides/marketing/marketing-center/email-marketing/email-quota)
{% endcontent-ref %}


# Simplified Marketing Center Navigation

We’ve introduced a new and improved way to locate exactly what you need in the marketing center, regardless if you're looking for holiday templates, property templates and more.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/21kcsm7fvd>" %}

Now, when you hover over a category like Brand, Celebrations, Holidays, Newsletters and Properties, you’ll see a dropdown that offers sub-categories. When you select a sub-category, you’ll see all available templates in that category, regardless if it’s email, social, print or stories. You can easily filter your templates further by choosing exactly what you’re looking for.


# Security Beyond Passwords

Passwords alone are vulnerable. MFA (Multifactor Authentication) adds an extra layer, making it much harder for unauthorized individuals to access your account.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/85w186ycx5>" %}

## What is Multifactor Authentication?

Multifactor Authentication, or MFA, is like having an extra layer of protection for your Rechat account. It's similar to having more than one lock on your front door to keep your house safe. In the digital world, MFA helps secure your account by requiring more than just a password.

## Why MFA Matters

In real estate, you deal with a lot of sensitive information—property details, client data, and financial transactions. MFA adds an extra shield against unauthorized access to this valuable information. It's an added security measure that significantly reduces the risk of someone getting into your accounts, even if they somehow figure out your password.

## Recommended MFA Applications

### Google Authenticator

**Google Authenticator** adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts by adding a second step of verification when you sign in. This means that in addition to your password, you'll also need to enter a code that is generated by the Google Authenticator app on your phone.

The verification code can be generated by the Google Authenticator app on your phone, even if you don't have a network or cellular connection.&#x20;

You can download the [iOS App here](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/google/id284815942?ppid=b58478b2-681c-4d43-9601-7b54463a4adf) or the [Android App here](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2\&pcampaignid=web_share).

### Microsoft Authenticator

Use **Microsoft Authenticator** for easy, secure sign-ins for all your online accounts using multi-factor authentication, passwordless, or password autofill. You also have additional account management options for your Microsoft personal, work or school accounts.

You can download the [iOS App here](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-authenticator/id983156458) or the [Android App here](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.azure.authenticator\&pcampaignid=web_share).

# Filter & Scroll Contacts

December 30, 2022 - Easily filter and scroll through contacts!

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/nkj02utdcz>" %}

Have you ever added filters to your contacts, opened a profile and gone back to the list of contacts only to find you’ve lost your filters? We have, too!

Rechat is introducing a new feature to help make filters easier to use and navigate!

Now, members can apply filters to their contacts, open a contact profile and while in a contact profile, scroll to the next or previous contacts, or close the current profile and return right back to your filtered list. This allows members to prospect, follow-up and communicate with a set of contacts quickly and efficiently.

Looking to clear the filter? Easy! Simply click the “X” on the filter you wish to remove, and Rechat will return you to the appropriate audience of contacts.

We hope you love this latest improvement to Rechat as much as we do. Remember, support can always be found in the lower left corner of your screen, or by emailing <support@rechat.com>.

# Notify Agents of Missing Docs (Admin)

# Improved Contact Filtering

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/thgcb28bib>" %}


# Videos in Email

Videos in Emails

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/bma40a973y>" %}

3. Find and select Click here to Upload.&#x20;
4. Browse for and select the video you wish to upload from your computer.&#x20;

Rechat will generate a video GIF and insert it into your layout. When you’ve finished editing your template, select Continue in the upper-right corner of your screen.


# Touch Reminders

Staying in touch with prospective, current and past clients is vital to an agent’s success. That’s why Rechat’s latest improvement drastically improves an agent’s ability to never fall out of touch with someone. Rechat has always offered the ability to set up automated touch reminders at the Tag level, but now agents can do so at the contact level.&#x20;

To get started, simply open a Contact and in the upper right corner of the screen select **Manage** **Relationship**. You will have the selection of **Weekly, Monthly, Bi-Monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually**. If none of those options work, simply select **Custom** and enter your preference in days.&#x20;

Additionally, while inside a contact you’ll find that the email button has moved to just to the right of the contact name, and the add event and add note buttons have moved to their respective sections.&#x20;

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/lrn0ktfknf>" %}


# Email Campaigns

Setting Up Marketing Email Campaigns

As an Admin, you can now create an Email Marketing Campaign to send automated emails to the Agents’ contacts on their behalf. You can automate this from your dashboard and no longer need to switch to each Agent’s account to create this. All emails will be automatically delivered with their signatures at the bottom. You can find all created and sent campaigns on your Insight page.

Agents can also preview upcoming Campaigns that were created by Admins in the Marketing Center, or view all of them on the Insight page.

If Agents are not a participant, they can become a participant or save it for themselves. When an Agent unsubscribes from the Email Campaign, it will be unsubscribed for only that individual Agent.

Furthermore, Agents have the option to control Admins’ access for adding them as participants in the created Campaigns.

Due to privacy, Admins will only be selecting a tag from the Agents’ tags for email recipients - the Admin will not have access to view individual contacts.

# Improved Contacts

You can now conveniently manage and edit all of your Rechat Contacts' information in one place. After years of interacting with Agents, we learned that Agents prefer using spreadsheets to update their Contacts' data. You can now update your Contacts' info this way on the Contacts page in your Rechat dashboard. This lets you view and make edits to the information for all of your Rechat Contacts in a familiar spreadsheet format. Simply clicking on any field in your Contacts' info like Tags, Email, Phone, Flows, or Birthday allows you to update the information in real time.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/ttqi0crtse>" %}


# Post to Instagram from Rechat

# New Navigation Menu

### New Navigation Menu

Our latest improvement to Rechat is a newly designed Main Menu. The new layout offers simpler navigation and an easier time finding your most used Rechat services.

You'll see that the main menu now has a parent-child layout. This means that when you hover over a primary category, its secondary categories open up within it.

The new menu organizational structure update is as follows:

**People**: Contacts, Calendar, Inbox, and Chat.

**Marketing**: Overview, Flows, Agent Network, Websites, and Insight.

**Search**: Properties and Tour.

**Transactions**: Deals, Listings, Open House, and Showings.

**Support**: Help Center and Customer Success.

Also, the new circular red icon in each menu section indicates notifications.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/96zxgt0y9t>" %}

### Your Gallery Videos Can Now Play in Emails

With the Rechat newest update, as an Admin, you can now use the [personal gallery](https://help.rechat.com/whats-new/december-23) videos in your Email layouts; as an Agent, you can utilize Admins' Marketing Center-uploaded videos in your Email layouts.

In this update, we have added the new "Your Gallery" tab in the Insert Video drawer on the Template Editor page, allowing you to pick your preferred video out of this collection.

Rechat will generate a GIF from the first few seconds of your video and insert it into the email layout.

Once you send out the email layout, the video preview will automatically play inside the email, and clicking on it will display the whole video.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/30agx1mgpb>" %}

<br>


# Private Forms in Deals

### **Admins Private Documents Management**

Our latest update on the Admins' Deals page includes an option that lets Admins make confidential forms private in the listing Checklist.

This feature offers Admins an efficient way to securely share sensitive information. For example, commission forms can be shared with the other admins in the accounting department without agents having access to them.

As an Admin, you can find the new Manage Access option in the drop-down menu in front of each Checklist task to specify whether agents can have access to that document or not.

Once you uncheck the Agents option in the Manage Access modal, the Private label appears on that form.&#x20;

Also, all activities involving Chatroom information and update notifications will be visible to Admins only.

{% hint style="info" %}
When sharing something with the agents on a given deal, it's shared with just the primary and Co-Agents (if any) that are added to the deal.
{% endhint %}

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/yr64ohhkbs>" %}


# GIF Previews in Email

### **Videos Preview within Emails**

The Rechat latest update is found in the Marketing Center template editor. When inserting a YouTube or Vimeo video block into an Email layout, Rechat now automatically creates a GIF from the first few seconds of the selected video and adds it to the email layout.

The GIF will be sent as the video preview in the email, and with one click on the GIF, it will open up the original link to view the whole video.

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/url6rktt1d>" %}

​


# All-New Today Page

### **All New Rechat Dashboard: “Today”**

The Rechat Today page (i.e. Dashboard) now offers you more features to organize your work and update your schedule.&#x20;

Within the Today page, you can now find Rechat popular services, the Rechat blog, and Rechat Support in one click.&#x20;

Rechat now automatically tracks your daily use and provides relevant updates in the following account sections:&#x20;

**To Do**: Rechat syncs your Gmail and Outlook accounts to catch up on emails.&#x20;

**To Contact**: Rechat will remind you of Contacts to follow up with.&#x20;

**To Market**: After your MLS IDs are added, Rechat automatically fetches your listings and creates the marketing layouts for them so you can share any of them with a few clicks.&#x20;

The new in-app organizational structure is as follows:

**People:** Contacts, Chats, Calendar, Email, Flows, and Tags.

**Transactions:** Deals and Showings.

# Filtering Deals

# Deals Archiving

### Backup your Deals Data with Ease

Have peace of mind with an archived file of a deal’s documents with this new feature.

Rechat now offers the option to download an archive of all of your deal information whenever you want.

Once you upload documents to a deal's listing checklist, a download of this folder is now available. This also allows you to access your Rechat Deals information anywhere, anytime.

On the Deals page, you'll find the Download Archive button under the fact sheet column on the left side. Clicking this button will generate a zip file containing a PDF of your transaction summary and a folder with all the deal forms.&#x20;

# Impersonate Agents (Admin)

### Working on Behalf of Agents Is Now a Breeze for Admins

If your office has many Agents working in Rechat and you need a way to switch between Agents effectively, our latest feature offers a solution.

Rechat now brings a user-friendly design to the team switcher that allows Admins to quickly alternate between their Agents' accounts.

As an Admin, you can select which of your team’s or other teams’ Agents’ accounts you want to view. You can find which Agent account you want to view under two separate tabs in a hierarchical format. Team Switcher also provides a search box for easier selection.

Once you select an Agent account, you’ll have the ability to:

* Edit an email and send it on behalf of an agent.
* Add and edit marketing templates in the agent's Marketing Center to send their contacts and tags.

# Searching Multiple Zip Codes on iOS

# CSV Imports

### **Importing Contacts via CSV Just Got a Lot Easier**

We are now using artificial intelligence (AI) to make CSV mapping smarter and more efficient.&#x20;

The following improvements let you import all your Contacts' data to your Contacts page simultaneously:

* If your Contact's full address is in one column, you can now import it without having to enter it across multiple columns for the street name, city, zip code, etc.
* If your CSV contacts have multiple comma-separated tags in one column (e.g. Buyer, Past Client), you can import them as-is, and the app will save them as different tags. You no longer have to enter them into separate columns.&#x20;
* Previously, our app would not have recognized multiple columns with the same name. For example, if you had two columns named Tag, one would have been skipped, which no longer is the case. Rechat will now recognize they are two separate columns.

### **Improved Template Text Editor**

Two updates now make it easier to access the template Rich Text Editor (RTE) in the Marketing Center:

* The Delete, Duplicate and Move options have moved to the right side of the RTE.
* The editor box appears when you click to make edits, and it will disappear when clicking on empty space in the template.
