What is Nimble?

Nimble is turning its CRM into a full outbound-email hub for small teams.

Nimble keeps its small-business CRM core but the recent shipping is dominated by email marketing and outreach: drag-and-drop templates, AI-generated emails, multi-sender campaigns, group messages with team collaboration and per-link click analytics, and category-based unsubscribe lists. CRM-side work is mostly polish — customizable list views, fresh navigation, an AI-revamped business card scanner. Forms get incremental design controls.

What is Twenty?

Twenty 2.58.1 stops existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO alone.

Twenty 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 carry the same change: SSO sign-in now requires an existing Twenty account to already be a member of the workspace. Invitations, invite links and approved domains only apply to new accounts, so an existing account joins once through its invitation and uses SSO after that. The release adds SAML and OIDC integration tests that run without an external identity provider. 2.58.0 shipped to npm on November 12 with only a file-rename note.

Nimble vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side

Nimble logo0.0

Nimble is turning its CRM into a full outbound-email hub for small teams.

◆ Current state

Nimble keeps its small-business CRM core but the recent shipping is dominated by email marketing and outreach: drag-and-drop templates, AI-generated emails, multi-sender campaigns, group messages with team collaboration and per-link click analytics, and category-based unsubscribe lists. CRM-side work is mostly polish — customizable list views, fresh navigation, an AI-revamped business card scanner. Forms get incremental design controls.

◆ Where it's heading

Nimble is repositioning from a relationship-tracking CRM into an integrated outreach platform — the kind of customer that previously stitched HubSpot Free with Mailchimp. The AI work shows up as assistive (email composition, business card OCR) rather than agentic, and the email-marketing primitives (lists, unsubscribes, multiple senders, template editor) are becoming first-class rather than add-ons.

◆ Prediction

Expect the email surface to keep widening — automation/sequencing logic across senders, deliverability tooling like warmup or domain authentication helpers, or AI-driven send-time and segment recommendations using the new per-link click data.

T5.0

Twenty 2.58.1 stops existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO alone.

◆ Current state

Twenty 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 carry the same change: SSO sign-in now requires an existing Twenty account to already be a member of the workspace. Invitations, invite links and approved domains only apply to new accounts, so an existing account joins once through its invitation and uses SSO after that. The release adds SAML and OIDC integration tests that run without an external identity provider. 2.58.0 shipped to npm on November 12 with only a file-rename note.

◆ Where it's heading

Twenty ships minor versions every few days, and most tags carry little detail. The changes that are described tighten access and security, as in this SSO fix, or extend the AI assistant inside the inbox and SDK. Point releases now carry the visible change rather than the minors.

◆ Prediction

More point releases on 2.58 are likely; the entries do not show which feature 2.59 will bring.
