Improved: Import Content from Planning Center

  • After selecting content to import, you can now choose which fields you want to import.
  • When importing a link, you can set what you’d like the button text to be.
  • After choosing which fields to import, we show you a preview of the two import styles: cards or blocks. This should make it easier to see how your content will look in the email editor.

  • We changed our underlying AI model from gemini-2.5-flash-lite to gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview.

March 12, 2026

Small Improvements

  • You can now use Vimeo videos in the video block.
  • On cards that have a link, we now only link the image and button, not the entire card. This prevents the text from changing to a blue link color in some email clients.
  • You can now replicate an email from the scheduled page.
  • When replicating an email, we pre-fill the input with the original email’s campaign name (or subject line if no campaign name is set).
  • The list selector now uses infinite scrolling to load more lists rather than just showing you the top 10 results.
  • We fixed a bug where the public page urls were not showing on the category page until you refreshed.
  • When you replicate an email, it now copies into the same folder as the original email.
March 10, 2026

Email Folders

  • You can now organize your emails into folders. Create, rename, delete, and color-code folders to keep your emails organized. Folders can be nested inside other folders for even more organization. You can move emails into folders directly from the emails table.
March 9, 2026

  • We fixed a visual bug with the new email modal on mobile.

  • You can set the color of the links in your email footer.
March 3, 2026

Improved Import Process

Second, you can now refresh or leave the page during the preview step without having to fully start over. Finally, you can see your import history and how people were brought into Planning Center. We believe these changes will make it even easier to get started with Flowforth.
  • We also make some tweaks so that emails render better in versions of Outlook that use Microsoft Word as the rendering engine (such as Outlook LTSC).
February 26, 2026

Email Style Changes

  • We’ve improved the email style section of the email editor. The different sections are grouped together and easier to navigate.

  • We added a 1 column layout to the email editor. The primary way this is useful is to add shared background images to multiple blocks.
  • You can adjust the size of the social icons on your email footer.
  • We added a new icon option for Church Center.
  • We’ve added a new permissions level for “Email Designer.” This is a new role that can view, create, and edit emails, but cannot send or schedule them.
February 22, 2026

Categories Improvements

  • You can now set a public link to view all the emails sent to a category on a webpage. There is also a stable link to the latest email sent to a category. This makes it easier to link to your latest newsletter on your website or Church Center.
  • We’ve added a new page for email categories. You can manage settings, view recent emails sent to the category, and view people who have unsubscribed from the category.
  • You can now archive categories that have sent emails. This will hide the category from the main list but keep it available for you to restore later.
  • We fixed a bug where weekly automation emails would not start if the list contained thousands of people.
  • We improved the sending speed of automation emails.
  • When viewing an email in the browser, you can now print the email.
February 12, 2026

Improvements

Help Center in Sidebar

February 10, 2026

  • You can now control the size of the image and text on an author block.

February 5, 2026

Improvement

  • You can now hide an email from global metrics by clicking the three dots in the top right corner of an email’s metrics page or by clicking the three dots next to an email’s name in the emails table and then selecting to hide it from global metrics.

  • Columns now correctly stack in the Gmail mobile app.

Deliverability Improvement

Improvements

  • We fixed some small visual bugs.
January 21, 2026
  • You can now set a custom size for the logo on your footer.
  • You can now use live YouTube videos in the video block. This is helpful if you trim down your livestreams for your VODs.

  • You can change the cards block images to their original aspect ratio rather than just 16:9.
  • You can set list permissions based on the list category. This way you can more easily control list visibility in Planning Center.
  • We improved the domain verification process by verifying your DMARC policy (previously it would always say ‘Recommended’) and by allowing you to share the DNS records via email with a team member. This is great if another team member manages your website/domain.

January 17, 2026

Extra Send Credits

  • You can now purchase extra send credits for busier seasons where you need more sends but don’t want to upgrade your whole plan. These credits never expire and are only used after your monthly limit is exhausted. You can purchase extra sends in the billing section of settings. Extra sends can only be purchased if you are already on an active paid subscription.
  • We fixed a bug where some lists weren’t showing in the list selector on the drafts page.
January 16, 2026

  • On the recipients table after sending an email, you can now click a person’s name to go to their profile in Flowforth.
  • You can now set lists to “hidden.” This will restrict non-owners from accessing these lists and it will hide the lists from owners when using the list selector on the “to” field. This should help cleanup how much information you’re seeing throughout the app.
  • When a payment fails, we now notify all organization owners rather than just the email you used with Stripe. This is helpful if you use a general email for receipts but want to be notified if your card fails.
January 15, 2026

January 13, 2026

Reply-To Address on Test Emails

  • We now set the reply-to address on test emails to the person who sent the test. Before, replies would either go to the Flowforth team or to your organization’s default email address. This should make collaborating on emails a bit easier.
January 10, 2026

Drag and Drop Uploads

  • We’ve added drag and drop uploads to the asset browser. Before, you had to click a separate upload button. Now, you can drag files straight into the asset browser or assets page.

  • We’ve improved the accuracy of the subscribers count on the People page.
January 5, 2026

Improved text color picker and email limit warnings

  • We’ve improved the color picker in the text block. It should be easier to set a custom color for text.
  • We now send organization owners a email if your send limit is over 75% used. This should help you catch this early rather than finding out from an email failing to send.
December 24, 2025

Bug Fix

  • We fixed a bug where there were many people on the post-send recipients table who had no first name or last name.
December 24, 2025

October 30, 2025

  • We fixed a bug with importing unsubscribes.
  • We improved how headers in a text block render on Gmail to closer match what you’re seeing in the editor (and other email clients).

October 1, 2025

Use Planning Center Custom Fields as Merge Tags In Your Emails

You can now use your custom fields in Planning Center as merge tags in your emails.

September 30, 2025

See Opens Over Time

  • While open rates aren’t the best metrics to track, they still give helpful insights into the performance of your email and what time you should be sending. That’s why we just rolled out a new chart on the metrics tab of sent emails. You should see this on any email sent from this week forward.
  • You can also now click on a link on the sent email page to see who clicked that link.

    . We recommend using a divider block for horizontal rules as you have much greater control over them.

  • We fixed the button text color on the unsubscribe page in dark mode to improve readability.
September 23, 2025

  • We also fixed a bug where the block order was sometimes incorrect after bulk duplicate blocks in the email editor.
September 18, 2025

Person Page and List Table Updates

  • You can now click on a person’s name at https://flowforth.co/people to see the emails sent to that email address.

background images on blocks

Since we launched in May, we’ve put out many new features: custom block styles, recurring automation emails, and an improved link page builder, to name a few.Today, I want to share a new, highly requested feature: Block Background Images.Background images allow you to send beautiful, engaging emails that stand out in an inbox full of noise.To add a background image, click on a block in the editor, click “Block Styles” in the sidebar, and then add a background image of your choice.

Know why a person didn’t receive an email

Improvements

  • We’ve made some changes to the invites process that should make it easier to invite your team.

August 6, 2025

List Members Update

  • We no longer get and store the members of your lists in our system. We now get the list members at the time of send. This helps ensure everything is up to date and no data is stale.

Cleaned up copy, unsubscribe page changes, and more

  • Some places previously said “duplicate email” where others said “replicate email.” We have cleaned this up to only refer to this action as “replicate.”
  • If someone clicks “unsubscribe” on an email, we now show the email category preferences under the confirm unsubscribe button. This lets people see if that they have options to manage preferences preventing accidental full unsubscribes.
  • You can no longer sign up for a Flowforth account with a temporary email address. This helps to prevent abuse of our system.

Planning Center Lists Syncing Improved

  • We now periodically check if there are any Planning Center lists missing in your Flowforth account. This typically happens when a list is shared with the account who connected Flowforth to Planning Center but no changes were made to the list since then.
  • We also added a notice to let you know if a list you’re sending an email to is still syncing into our system.

Major email editor improvements

  • Each block can have it’s own styles separate from the main email style. This allows you to give the block it’s own background color and adjust the padding and margin. This means you can now have images go edge-to-edge on a card style email.
  • We deprecated block spacing as you can now control this via the block padding.
  • In addition to buttons, you can now type on every block directly in the editor.
  • Videos now show a play button on them to help people know that they’re a video.

Small Improvements and URL changes

  • In a text block, you can type @view-in-browser to insert the view in browser link. This link is unique per recipient which ensure merge tags (like first name, last name, and email) still work.
  • We moved the email manager (where people can unsubscribe and update their preferences) to a new domain (https://churchspace.email)
  • We changed the link for proxied content (https://churchusercontent.com).
  • We made it easier to retry a failed domain verification.
  • Sent images are now cached and should load faster for most users in their emails.
  • We fixed some bugs in the text block. You should have a better experience pasting text and your text alignment will persist when you change text size.

View emails in browser

  • You can now view emails in the browser. This option is on the bottom of every email.

Small changes and bug fixes

  • Type in buttons within the editor to change their text. Previously you could only change the text using the sidebar.
  • Dividers can now have a height of 0. This lets you use the divider block as a spacer.
  • We now proxy images in emails which helps prevent them from not loading for people who use Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection.
  • We fixed a bug that was occasionally causing text emails to take 30+ minutes to send.
June 11, 2025

Test Emails Persist

  • Test emails should now persist in the input. This saves you from having to type in your email address(es) in every time you want to send a test.

Lists are under people (and bug fixes)

  • Lists and lists permissions are now under the People tab on the sidebar
  • You can manually refresh your lists using the Actions button on the Lists page. This is helpful is a list is shared with the account that did the sync with Flowforth and Planning Center and it’s not showing up right away in Flowforth. We have a better fix for this in progress.
  • We fixed a bug that was causing imports to fail if a column has an apostrophe in its name.
  • We removed the domain step from getting started, allowing new accounts to get in the app faster.
June 9, 2025
  • We’ve added rich text editing to the email footer so you can add formatting and line breaks to your footer description.

AI Subject Lines

  • While we continue to work on our AI email builder, we’re putting out a taste with our subject line generator. Give it a go and let us know what you think!
June 3, 2025

Improved Permissions

  • You can now restrict who can access certain lists, their list members, and the emails sent to those lists. This should help secure any confidential lists and emails.
  • You can change the default sync permission in settings if you would prefer to have all lists be visible to owners only by default.

Import Improvements and Bug Fixes

  • We’ve added the option to input the name of a former audience when importing contacts. This will show up in Planning Center under the Flowforth custom tab.
  • We added a nicer loading state for the email editor and the email preview.
  • We fixed a bug that was making all new email templates use Courier New as the font family.
  • We fix the focus ring being clipped on the editor’s sidebar inputs.
  • We fixed a bug on the categories table where if you added a new category and then went to edit a category, the wrong category editor would potentially open up.
  • We fixed a bug that wasn’t allowing email previews to load and test emails to send in Webkit based browsers (Safari, any mobile browser on iOS, etc.).
  • We fixed a bug where the color scheme previews were not showing on the new email modal on Safari.

Email Editor Sidebar Improvements

We’ve made a few small changes across the app.
  1. We have cleaned up the email editor sidebar to make it easier to view your content. All inputs should noe be wider and easier to read. We brought this change to the link page editor too.
  2. We improved how much control you have over buttons. We still have a long way to go to give you a more powerful email editor without introducing complexity.
  3. We fixed a bug in our email subject tips where numbers were counting as emojis.

Planning Center is no longer required for onboarding.

You now no longer have to connect to your Planning Center account to explore Flowforth’s email builder, to use QR codes, or to use link pages.

Add an Automation Offset for your auto-refreshed lists

Planning Center Lists refresh at 2am in the timezone set in your PCO account localization settings, but we don’t want to email our people at 2am. So, we added an offset option to our automations to make sure the flow starts at a good time.

This is the beginning of our journey to free your ministry from app overload, and it starts with three things:
