SuiteCRM 8.9.0

24 September 2025

SuiteCRM version 8.9.0 is now available (major release).

What's New in SuiteCRM 8.9.0

• Campaigns and Email Marketing have been redesigned in SuiteCRM 8!
  
• This release introduces the first phase of the redesign, with more features to come in future releases.
  
• You can see more information about Campaigns
  

• A configurable compose modal that can be collapsed and can remain open while navigating the app.
  
• To, CC, and BCC fields that support searching and selecting from SuiteCRM Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Users, or individual email addresses using the new Multi-Flex-Relate field.
  
• Attachments implemented using the new storage system.
  
• Ability to insert an Email Template which, when sending, will parse the variables based on the selected Related To record.
  
• The Body field now uses the lightweight Squire editor, offering consistent, rich text editing tailored for emails.
  
• Email address links in Suite 8 views open a new compose modal pre-addressed to that contact.
  

• Designed for uploading files to a field. This field type is ideal for scenarios where only one file needs to be associated with a record, such as uploading a profile picture, a single contract, or a receipt. The uploaded file is stored using the new media storage system, supporting various backends like local storage, AWS S3, or Azure Blob Storage.
  
• For more information see File Field Type documentation.
  

• Built for attaching multiple items to a record. Unlike the file field, the attachment field, by default, always allows users to associate several files at once. Additionally, in future releases we plan to add support not only for file uploads but also linking existing documents from the Documents module, and potentially other types of attachments. This will make it suitable for use cases like attaching supporting documents, reference materials, or related files to a record.
  
• For more information see Attachment Field Type documentation.
  

• These field types leverage the media uploader system, which allows files to be stored in various backends: local storage, AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage.
  
• A new concept of "storage types" has been introduced to define different storage backends and locations for different use cases. Each storage type can be linked to a different storage system, e.g. it is possible to have private_documents pointing to Azure blobs while private_images points to AWS S3. This should give system admins flexibility in how and where files are stored.
  
• To see more information about configuring external storage services, see File Storage Configuration documentation.
  

• Multi-Relate fields have been added to SuiteCRM 8.
  
• You can now relate multiple associated records at once (see below). For more information see Multi Relate documentation.
  
• For the moment this field is not available in the Studio. A future release will include Studio support.
  

• SuiteCRM 8.9 introduces 3 new schedulers:
  
• Queue Email Marketing — Queues Email Marketing Records that are scheduled to be sent.
  
• Send Campaign Emails — Sends the queued emails for Email Marketing Records.
  
• Clean Up Temporary Files — Cleans up temporary files.
  
• Prune Database scheduler — Prune Database scheduler has been moved to symfony side and now also removes media objects from the new storage system.
