CloudM Backup 1.10: Secure and restore your Google Chat data

Chat tools have rapidly become a key communication channel in organizations worldwide, enabling rapid collaboration and synchronization across often geographically dispersed teams. The loss of this data – through accidental deletion or malicious activity – can have severe negative consequences, disrupting users, workflows and crucial business activities.

Following its latest release, CloudM Backup now supports the backup and restoration of Google Chat data, keeping your vital direct messages and group direct messages safe from the consequences of data loss. This is for 1-1 direct messages, which include messages with multiple members, as well as reactions, links and attachments.

Comprehensive protection for your most important GWS applications

The most recent release ensures that your Chat data is now also safe from the consequences of data loss and can be recovered quickly to ensure business can continue.

CloudM Automate 2.17: Multiple email signatures for the same person, improved sync times and more

Enable users to have multiple email signatures and apply them dynamically

You’ve asked, we’ve delivered. One of the most frequently requested features in Email Signatures has been to allow one person to have multiple signatures depending on their role or group. With the Automate 2.17 release, this is now quick and easy. And once set up, the secondary “alias” signature will be applied dynamically depending on which email address your user is sending from.

Near real-time email signature sync

We’ve significantly sped up sync times between CloudM and your Google Domain so that any changes will now show within minutes.

Get better, more flexible domain notifications

Navigating to the Domain Settings page in CloudM Automate, you’ll notice some significant improvements to email notifications. Notifications opt in has been streamlined, plus it is now much easier to choose what type of notifications you’d like to receive. We’ll continue to improve notification settings and content, so watch out for further updates in the future.

More options to transfer a calendar

Dealing with the transferring of calendars from one user to another can be cumbersome, especially when dealing with any manual intervention as a result. Now we’re offering different modes to transfer a calendar, giving you more flexibility in how calendars, invites and events are migrated to a new user.
