Ebla References v1.4.0

Ebla References generates unique, readable codes for EspoCRM records and connects those codes to stream conversations. Users can mention a reference while writing a post, open related discussions, or copy the value for use outside the CRM.

Key capabilities

• Adds a Number Plus field type that can be created on standard or custom entities.
• Generates a unique reference automatically when a new record is saved.
• Configures a prefix, padding length, and digit, letter, or mixed character pattern.
• Autocompletes matching references while users compose EspoCRM stream posts.
• Opens all stream posts that mention a selected reference number.
• Optionally shows a copy button beside the stored reference value.

Business value

Reference codes make records easier to identify in conversations and connect stream discussions to the right business item. Teams can use consistent, readable identifiers while users quickly insert references, copy codes, and find related posts from within EspoCRM. A consistent in-CRM workflow also makes the process easier to explain, repeat, and maintain as responsibilities move between users or teams. Keeping the capability close to the related records helps users act on current CRM information without repeatedly changing systems or rebuilding context.
