Since December 22, 2022, Cobra has released Release 3 CRM with 64-bit power of the 2022 version. We at Duesseldorf.it have now tested the release comprehensively and found it to be good. That’s why we have compiled the most important new features for you here.
cobra becomes a 64-bit application
The current version of cobra AdressPlus and all CRM variants have been converted to a 64-bit architecture. This means they can use more memory. This ensures greater speed and stability, for example to be able to output large queries and reports. This also ensures future compatibility with modern systems, Microsoft Office 365 64Bit, interfaces and upcoming versions of Windows.
New features related to the REST API
It is now possible to put an action for calling a REST API behind a button. The API call can also be parameterized using fields. This opens up completely new possibilities for systems to interact with cobra. Examples: With one click, a customer is registered for a newsletter in an email marketing system, a letter is generated using print on demand, or an invoice is created. Also new is the option of calling a third system via REST API in an automated campaign. This lays the foundation for extensive automation in your system landscape. The third system can be called using parameters that are contained in the campaign. If X happens in cobra, inform system Y about it.
address links
When linking two addresses, you can now select and display “Entered on/by” and “Modified on/by” in the table. You can also enter a comment when creating the address link.
spell check on comment fields
In the German version, the following four dictionaries are available by default: German (Germany), German (Switzerland), English and French. The dictionary that matches the system language is generally used. The language of the dictionary can be selected per session. By selecting „invariant language“, all existing dictionaries are combined so that you can write in several languages at the same time. Additional dictionaries can be added.
In my opinion, these were the most important new features in Cobra CRM with 64-bit power. The complete release notes are available here: Cobra Release Notes
