You asked for Drupal 8 compatible CiviMobile app — and we did it! CiviMobile 5.4 now supports Drupal 8 version of CiviCRM offering convenient access to CRM data and its management on the go.
CiviMobile 5.4 and Drupal 8 CiviCRM tech duo
With CiviCRM, you have all your accumulating data centralized in one place. The system automates data management tasks, streamlines interactions with constituents and reporting. It stands to reason why the need for CiviCRM raises no more questions. Nonprofits go with Drupal 8 version of CiviCRM when:
- organizational website makes a safe and relaxed transition considering that the official Drupal Security Team will gradually cease to maintain older Drupal versions
- organizational website is built on Drupal and there is a need to put CiviCRM and CMS together to centralize and manage the organization constituents’ data
- information flow into and out of CRM (registration and submission forms, contributions, donations, membership fees) is quite heavy
- organization plans to deal with lots of data and content in future. Drupal 8 CiviCRM integration handled early on, spare costly platform migrations later when contact base or interactions between website users and CRM grow.
- improved content editing and publishing experience, responsive and mobile-optimized interface are one of driving factors
- there is technical support to jump tech barriers and customize Drupal themes
If your organization picks convenience, speed, and ease of use over data loss, slow processing, poor communication and workplace dependency then it’s time for us to add one more reason why nonprofits go with Drupal 8 version of CiviCRM. For you it’s time to go to the CiviCRM admin panel and install CiviMobile API extension or reinstall it if your website upgraded from Drupal 6 or 7.
