A new front for EspoCRM

Keep EspoCRM.
Give it a face people love.

WorkFolder lays a modern, folder-based workspace over your EspoCRM: mail people enjoy, a calendar that turns like a desk pad, campaigns without the maze, and records filed the way people think. Same data, same roles, nothing migrated.

The everyday problem

Every panel of a record sits in one long page. Contacts, cases, documents, activities and the stream pile up, so people scroll and lose their place.

With WorkFolder

The list is a filing cabinet: the drawer slides open with matching records standing as folders, and the one you pull out opens beside it as a Work Folder, with manila tabs for details, documents, each list, communications and activities.

Filing cabinet lists

Lists that open like a drawer.

Every list can be a one-drawer filing cabinet. Search, saved filters and filters sit on the drawer front; as you search, the drawer slides open with the matching records standing as folders. Pull a folder and the record opens beside the cabinet, so you work down the list without losing your place.

  • Saved filters: one pick, the list changes in place
  • Record opens beside the list
  • Classic list one click away
ACCOUNTS

EMAIL TEMPLATE
The template and mail designer with design objects on the right
Template and mail designer

Design emails with drag-and-drop objects.

Build templates and campaign emails from design objects: sections and columns, text, pictures, buttons, dividers and personalised fields such as First name and Unsubscribe link, which EspoCRM fills in when the email goes out. New templates start from a standard layout, pictures are kept in EspoCRM, and the HTML is one click away.

Why WorkFolder exists

“EspoCRM has the strongest bones in open-source CRM. WorkFolder gives it the face.”

Thirty years of re-engineering how work gets done, several EspoCRM sites for clients, and one recurring problem: people loved what EspoCRM could do, but not how it looked and felt.
