What's planned — filled by us and from user feedback. We deliberately name phases instead of dates and separate "planned" from "shipped".
As of: 2026-11-08 (version 1.1.60) · Source: 👥 Team · 🙋 User feedback · Phase: Alpha
📋 Planned Beta
- Meta channels: choose your setup (via us or your own app)
- Telephony: multi-DID per brand · video calls over the internet
- Start of the beta (version 1.2): failover – a second server in Austria keeps all data continuously up to date and takes over if the main server fails
- Telephony on the phone: key tones (DTMF) during a call
- E-invoicing: ZUGFeRD/Factur-X as output
- Brand kit stage 2: booking emails, campaigns per language and SMS templates in the brand’s style
- Inbox: more compact header for small laptop screens · @mentions as a push on your phone too
- Flows: “wait for a reply, otherwise …”, forms and webhooks as triggers
🔄 In progress
- WhatsApp calls: live test with real calls via Meta
- Telephony 1.1.46: live tests with real calls (limit for simultaneous calls, notice before recordings)
- Telephony 1.1.51: live tests with real calls and microphones (ringing during the greeting, recording in the browser in Safari and Firefox)

- Telephony 1.1.53: live tests with real calls (phone assistant, “Waiting line” phone template, adding your own mobile number, a complete call list after a restart)
- Detailed step-by-step guides (docs expansion, DE + EN)
