Got an idea? Let us know!

We love hearing your feedback. If you have suggestions for ways in which Eptura products can better meet your needs, you can share them with us via our Ideas Forum. You can either submit your own ideas or browse ideas suggested by others and vote for the ideas that you like. While we might not be able to respond to every suggestion, our product team regularly reviews all submissions. 

When evaluating your ideas, we consider the following factors:

  • Does the idea align with our business strategy for the product?
  • Is the idea in high demand by multiple customers?
  • Will it benefit a wide range of customer use cases, or is it more niche or specific to a single customer?
  • Is it something we can reasonably build and support?

To stay updated, keep the email notifications enabled to receive an email whenever the idea is updated
