The Umbraco Roadmap
What you can start looking forward to
Below you’ll find the Umbraco Roadmap, a general, high-level, overview of what the Umbraco HQ development team is working on Now, Next and Later. The Roadmap will give you an idea of where our software products are going and at what state the different components are currently in so you know if your favourite feature is on the roadmap and its current state.
For more detailed information concerning upcoming releases, please see our public release overview.
For an overview of the features and projects that have already been delivered, please see Roadmap History.
What to expect from the Roadmap
What you'll find in "Now"
Projects/Features that the development team currently have their hands on. You’ll also find an expected launch date/time period on most of the components.
What you'll find in "Next"
Projects/Features that we have started the process of planning. Once the necessary planning and preparation is done, this will be moved up to “Now” where it will be given an expected delivery time and, in some cases, split into smaller components.
What you'll find in "Later"
Big projects that are on the team's “future board”. As work starts on the "Later" projects, they'll be broken up into smaller components before going into the "Next" level.

Multi-step Form Improvements for Umbraco Forms

Custom SMTP server for Umbraco Heartcore
We currently provide very restricted email functionality in Heartcore in order to limit potential abuse scenarios. We know that email is a crucial part of a modern platform, and intend to re-enable this by allowing you to configure your own SMTP server from which to send messages. Not only will this enhance workflow processes with notifications, but will also allow you to easily send emails on form submissions.
Integrating Umbraco Commerce with external systems
We aim to demonstrate how integrations between Umbraco Commerce and complementary products are built.
Specifically, we plan to link Umbraco Commerce with external systems, sush as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Finance & Operations for ERP systems, Perfion and Akenoe for PIM systems, Salesforce for CRM systems, and Klaviyo for email marketing.
We have not decided whether these integrations will be documented in the Umbraco Docs or made available as packages on the Umbraco Marketplace.
