Features request

As a WordPress maintenance provider, I want to inform my clients directly from WP Umbrella about important updates and developments, without having to use an external program. Current Situation WP Umbrella currently has a template function for automated monthly reports. This works excellently for periodic communication, but there's no option for one-time, urgent messages to selected clients. Concrete Use Cases Major WordPress releases require proactive client communication. I want to inform clients about upcoming changes, manage expectations, and communicate potential downtime. Currently, I need to switch to another program for this, even though all relevant data is already in WP Umbrella. Other Scenarios: Major core updates or breaking changes Expected downtime for maintenance Critical security updates requiring extra attention Proactive communication about PHP version upgrades Changes in hosting or infrastructure Proposed Functionality Ability to send one-time emails to selected sites/clients Selection based on existing filters (WordPress version, PHP version, labels, groups) Simple editor for email content (doesn't need to be fancy, just functional) Preview function before sending Nice to Have: Merge tags for personalization (site name, WordPress version, etc.) Save drafts for later sending Sending history/log Why This is Valuable for WP Umbrella For users like me: One platform for all website management communication Time savings (no switching between tools) Data already present (which sites, which versions, which clients) Better workflow, less frustration For WP Umbrella as a product: Higher customer retention (one less tool needed) Competitive advantage over ManageWP and MainWP Natural complement to existing client communication features Higher perceived value of the platform Additional Context Currently, sites can only be linked to one template (for monthly reports). A one-time email function solves this without complicating the existing template structure. These are two different use cases that can coexist perfectly.

It would be good to be able to see useful information on the site overview page rather than just buttons/links to move you to uptime, updates or security pages for a specific site. For example, displaying the WordPress version, PHP version and number of plugins with updates available in each row in the list. Being able to sort/filter by these values would be useful.

It would be incredibly helpful to have the ability to set additional predefined fields in client settings that can be automatically included in client reports. For instance, we provide clients with a unique dashboard link, which is the only personalised element in each report. This dashboard URL is separate from their website domain, and currently, we need to manually update the custom works date each month just to reference this field. By introducing a predefined list of custom fields in client settings, we could streamline the process, reduce manual updates, and further automate the reporting workflow. This feature would greatly enhance efficiency and accuracy in report generation.

Hi it would be nice to be able to add an alert on some site health issues, most important are if site is not indexable (and should be) and if DEBUG is set to true on production, as these need to be fixed as soon as possible.

Some plugins are related to master plugins [eg Woocommerce B2B is related to Woocommerce]. When we launch Bulk Management for plugins, it would be nice that the master-plugins are updated first and avoiding that the slave-plugins are driving the website into a severe failure. Occured once in the last seven days.

The ability to open/view notes per website directly on the dashboard. This can be infopanel that opens on hover or click

Integrate with Wordfence to be able to run scans, see vunabilities from the panel

Possibilité de créer des catégories de clients, et d'effectuer les mises à jour automatiques des plugins à une fréquence différente pour chaque type de client. Par exemple : Type de client 1 : mise à jour mensuelles Type de client 2 : mise à jour hebdomadaire Type de client 3 : mises à jour quotidiennes Ca permet de vendre différents packs de maintenance (dont la fréquence des mises à jour est différente) et d'automatiser les mises à jour selon le pack que les gens ont acheté.

My understanding is that there is currently no alert or differentiation of PHP errors on the dashboard when a PHP error is fatal. It seems that both should be the case: If there are fatal PHP errors, the section on the dashboard should be red. An alert, similar to the site down alerts should be available.
