The Ideas Forum in Spotler Mail+ lets you submit suggestions, vote on improvements, and discuss ideas that help shape the software.
On this page you have the following options:
- Filter and search existing ideas
- Submit a new idea
- Vote for an idea or remove your vote
- Give or receive feedback on ideas
Filter and search existing ideas
You can search or filter existing ideas in three different ways:
1. Keyword search
Enter keywords into the search field. Matching ideas will appear automatically as you type.
2. Filter by status
Use the Status filter to view ideas by their development phase.
Status types:
- Needs review – All ideas start with this status. If an idea enters the Top 20, Spotler will evaluate its feasibility and potential timeline. The person who submitted the idea receives a confirmation email.
- Planned – Popular and feasible ideas are planned for release within two months. You’ll receive a confirmation email when your idea reaches this stage.
- Released – Once implemented, ideas become available for all Spotler users. You can filter on this status to view completed improvements.
- Research – These are bigger innovations that may require more time to implement and are being evaluated for fit and scope.
- Will not do – These ideas don’t match the product vision or current roadmap and won't be developed further.

3. Filter by category
Ideas are grouped into functional categories, such as editors or forms. Subcategories allow more specific filtering, for example by individual email editors.
Submit a new idea
As you type your idea, the software automatically checks for similar existing ideas. If your idea already exists, vote for it instead to strengthen its visibility and support.
You can also manually check for existing ideas using keyword search, status filters or category filters. Learn more under Filter and search existing ideas.
How to submit a new idea:
- Click the yellow New idea button at the top-right of the forum homepage.
- A window opens where you can enter a title, description, and select a category.
Tips for submitting a good idea:
- Clear title – Use concise and specific keywords. Avoid generic phrases like “I would like…”
- Choose a category – Selecting the right category helps others find and vote for your idea.
- Motivation – Use the description field to explain why this improvement is valuable and how it would be used in Spotler Mail+.
- Submit one improvement at a time – Avoid bundling multiple suggestions into a single idea to ensure clarity and feasibility.
After submitting, your idea is visible under the Recent tab and automatically receives your vote.
View your ideas: Open the My ideas section in the left-hand menu to view your submissions.
