We’ve rolled out a series of powerful updates designed to improve automation, accounting workflows, fulfillment flexibility, and operational visibility across Luminous. Here’s what’s new:
Bulk Event Triggers for Orders
You can now trigger events across multiple orders at once—making it easy to run automations in bulk.
Note: This does not recreate orders—it simply triggers automations tied to selected events.

Save Filters & Columns in Fulfillment Order Grid (FO Grid)
The FO grid now supports saving custom filters and column views, similar to the Sales Order grid—making it faster to access the views you use most.

New Settings Experience (Navigation Redesign)
We’ve completely redesigned the Settings area to make it easier to navigate and manage.
What’s improved:
- Structured sidebar navigation with grouped categories (General, Operations, Integrations, Approvals)
- Cleaner naming conventions across all settings
- Complex settings moved into dedicated pages instead of tabs
- Breadcrumbs and improved page layouts for better clarity
All old URLs will continue to redirect for now, but will be deprecated after September 30, 2026—we recommend updating bookmarks.

New support experience and ticket dashboard
We’ve recently transitioned to a new support chat platform—thank you for your patience as we’ve made this upgrade.
While the experience should feel familiar, it’s now faster, more organized, and more powerful.
Ticket Dashboard Portal
One of the biggest improvements is the introduction of a dedicated ticket dashboard, where you can:
- View all of your past and active support tickets in one place.
- Track the status and progress of each request
- Keep conversations organized and easy to reference
- Message our team directly from within any ticket
This gives you full visibility into your support history and makes it easier than ever to stay on top of ongoing requests. To find the Ticket Portal, go to Help & Support, then click into the Ticket Portal near the bottom of the chat widget. This view will list the tickets you have reported so far.
We highly recommend checking this out in your account and testing it with your team.
These updates are all about giving you more control, better visibility, and smoother integrations across your operations.
If you’d like help enabling any of these features or want a walkthrough, reach out to the Luminous team anytime. Thanks guys!(:
