Changelog

What shipped in Receptly — AI receptionist, lead generation, workflows, messaging, and platform reliability.

  1. 2026-09

    September 2026

    Added
    • Buy extra team seats at any time

      Teams admins can purchase additional seats after the team is created, paying by card, without setting the team up again.

  2. 2026-08

    August 2026

    Added
    • A dashboard that matches your business

      Your dashboard now adapts to the messaging channels you actually use, with a Today strip for appointments and activity across SMS, WhatsApp, email, and Telegram.

    • Light mode across dashboards

      The service, medical, and food dashboards and their toolbars now work properly in light theme.

    • Connect your tools during onboarding

      A new setup step lets you link your integrations while you're getting started instead of hunting for them later.

    • Your messaging limits on your plan

      Monthly SMS, email, WhatsApp, and Telegram allowances are shown on the plan overview so you always know how much room you have left.

    Changed
    • Wallet amounts shown in dollars

      Spend is now displayed in US dollars across your wallet and billing screens instead of raw minute or credit counts.

    Fixed
    • Email connections stay private to your account

      Accounts on the default workspace no longer inherit another account's connected email provider.

    • Header no longer covers the sidebar logo

      The top bar was painting over the brand mark on desktop; the layout now leaves it clear.

  3. 2026-07

    July 2026

    Added
    • Redesigned email inbox

      A rebuilt inbox experience with reply, compose, and attachments wired directly into it.

    • One inbox for SMS, WhatsApp, and Telegram

      Chat threads now share a single composer with message bubbles, timestamps, and per-message delete from a right-click or long-press, plus unread counts in the sidebar for each channel.

    • Richer dashboards for more business types

      Food, retail, trades, and general service businesses get the full dashboard treatment, including a next appointment or call countdown and a mini calendar.

    • More AI models to choose from

      An expanded model catalog with a new default model for your agents.

    Changed
    • Outbound calls are now the main Calls page

      The outbound call history has become the canonical calls view.

    Fixed
    • Appointments no longer booked at the wrong time

      Post-call booking times were being read as UTC, shifting confirmed appointments; they are now treated as your local time.

    • Real bookings are no longer skipped

      Same-day duplicate protection could discard a genuine new booking; it now only blocks true duplicates.

    • Booking alerts reach the right person

      Fixed booking notifications using the wrong phone number, sending SMS to the wrong destination, and missing top-bar alerts.

    • Bulk appointment deletion

      Deleting many appointments at once now completes instead of timing out.

    • Profile photos load again

      Avatars uploaded in the app now display in production instead of falling back to the default image.

  4. 2026-06

    June 2026

    Added
    • WhatsApp channel

      Connect WhatsApp so your AI agent and team can message customers there, with a template library you can search, preview, and test-send.

    • Staff and location scheduling

      Bookings are assigned to the right staff member and location, with staff calendars, per-location service pricing, and quoted amounts carried onto the booking.

    • MCP server

      Connect your own AI assistant to Receptly to create and update agents, run workflows, and manage reservations.

    • Better automation builder

      Templates, a live HTML preview for email steps, and inline hints for available variables so you can build flows without guessing.

    Fixed
    • No more duplicate messages when a meeting is created

      Appointments created through integrations no longer fire duplicate SMS and notifications.

    • The right number on inbound calls

      The caller's actual number is captured instead of one the assistant misheard.

    • Quick Calls no longer stuck

      Outbound quick calls that sat in "Created" forever now connect normally.

    • Waitlist instead of a false failure

      If a slot is taken the moment a customer books, they're added to the waitlist and notified by SMS rather than seeing a "meeting failed" alert.

    • Salon agents no longer hang up early

      Fixed an abrupt hang-up plus wrong-year and availability date parsing that broke bookings.

  5. 2026-05

    May 2026

    Added
    • Workflows

      Build multi-step automations triggered by calls and appointments, with email, SMS, Telegram, and voice steps, and an activity log showing exactly what ran.

    • Live call alerts

      Workflows can be alerted mid-call for urgent situations while the AI keeps talking to the caller.

    • Referral rewards

      Refer other businesses and earn subscription rewards, with a running total of what you've earned.

      Wallet gift cards are split into current and past, with expired cards clearly marked.

      A catalog layout with filters and at-a-glance status tiles for everything you can connect.

    Changed
    • Faster customer lists

      The customer list now loads in pages with a load-more button so large databases stay quick.

    Fixed
    • Clearer billing limits

      Outbound sends now show a clear message when you're out of credit or over your monthly allowance, and enterprise plans can no longer be downgraded by accident.

  6. 2026-04

    April 2026

      Build multi-step email campaigns that send on a schedule, rotate through your connected senders, and report opens, replies, and enrollments.

    • Inbox scope follows roles

      Which customers each team member can see in the inbox now follows their role.

    Fixed
    • Reply tracking

      Replies were being missed or misfiled by bulk mail; matching is now stricter so sequences show the right replies.

    • Sequence analytics

      Stats now count messages that were actually sent rather than enrollments, so the numbers line up with your outbox.
