April 2025 Product Updates
Linked Record Cover Images
We’ve introduced a new enhancement to Linked Records that allows you to designate a “Cover Image” from any Files and Images or Lookup to Files and Images field—and display it across multiple formats. This update also lets you click on a record’s thumbnail to view all associated images in a convenient gallery.
Key Highlights
- Cover Image in Every Display: Choose a cover image for Linked Records in all supported display formats.
- Clickable Thumbnails: When clicked, the cover image now opens a gallery so you can browse all files and images in the record.
- Lookup Field Support: Images from Lookup fields can also be used and viewed in the same gallery experience.
How It Works
- Select a Cover Field: Go to your Linked Record settings and open the Fields control. Choose a Files and Images field or a Lookup to Files and Images field to serve as the cover image in the Selected Fields configuration.
- Note that the Cover Image option is only displayed if a Files and Images field is available for selection.
- In any view where the Linked Record is displayed, click the cover image to open a gallery.
We hope this update makes your Linked Records more visually engaging and improves your workflow efficiency. Enjoy the new cover image and gallery features!

New Chart Types for Dashboards: Bubble, Scatter, and Heatmap
We’ve expanded the chart options available in Dashboards! Now, you can add Bubble and Scatter charts—previously exclusive to Chart View—directly to your dashboards. Plus, Heatmaps (previously released) provide valuable insights into data density and patterns.
Key Highlights
- Bubble Charts visualize three dimensions of data, using bubble size to represent an additional variable.
- Scatter Charts display relationships between two numerical variables, helping identify trends, clusters, and outliers.
- Heatmaps (previously released) allow you to analyze data density across a grid, making patterns and anomalies easier to spot.

Button Row Widget
The Webhook Trigger allows you to initiate SmartSuite automations from external services or custom applications by sending an HTTP request to a unique, system-generated URL. It supports both GET and POST methods, handles JSON data, and enables mapping incoming payload fields for use in subsequent automation steps.
Key Highlights
- Unique Webhook URLs: SmartSuite generates a dedicated endpoint you can copy and use in external services or code, making it easy to trigger automations.
- GET & POST Support: Configure your automation to accept query parameters (GET) or JSON data (POST), with future expansion to additional content types.
- Robust Error Handling: Standard HTTP status codes (e.g., 400, 415, 429) are returned for invalid payloads, unsupported encodings, or rate limit violations.
- Security & Rate Limits: IP whitelisting, 5 requests per second, and a 1 MB max payload size help protect against misuse and service overload.
- Selective Mapping: Only the payload fields you configure will be used in automation steps; unused fields are safely ignored.
