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.

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

AddedRedesigned 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.

The outbound call history has become the canonical calls view.
FixedAppointments 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.

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

The caller's actual number is captured instead of one the assistant misheard.
Quick Calls no longer stuck

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.
