Upcoming updates

What improvements and new features are we currently finalising? Below is a list of updates coming soon.

Please note: It’s challenging to predict exactly when a feature will be ready or when it will be released. Occasionally, we might prioritise other features that are more important for our clients, which could delay some updates we are working on.

Coming soon

At this moment, we don’t have any updates to announce.

Previous updates

September 2024
- Caller Insights – With our new number lookup feature, you’ll always see exactly who’s calling on your webphone, app, or landline. It helps you identify the company even if the number isn’t saved in your contacts. Quite handy, right?
August 2024
- Queue statistics via URL sharing -It is already possible to share/stream queue statistics, so that this is visible on a large screen. For this you currently still have to log in via the portal. This will soon be possible via a URL link. Very convenient.
July 2024
- Turning off voicemail transcription – Since May, we’ve enhanced our service to send voicemail messages directly to your email in transcription alongside the audio file. If you prefer not to receive the recorded message as transcribed text, you can now easily disable this feature.
- Waiting time when exporting call list – Want to know how long it takes to get an interview? Good news! This statistic is now added when exporting your call list.
June 2024
- Browser extension Click-and-Call – Due to new Google Chrome guidelines, we are forced to strip down the browser extension to one that focuses entirely on Click-and-Call. The extension recognizes phone numbers in your browser, after which a call appears behind the number. Click it and your VoIP phone, webphone, mobile app or other soft client automatically dials the phone number. Features from earlier versions of the browser extension, such as Queue Status, Reachability Management and Colleague Status, are of course still available in the webphone, mobile app and portal.
May 2024
- Voicemail-to-text – Listening to your voicemails is not always the most efficient way to get back to the caller in question as quickly as possible. Sometimes the recorded message is hard to hear, or you have to listen to the voicemail again to make note of the information. We’ve thought of something for that: voicemail-to-text. The recorded message is automatically converted to text and sent to your e-mail, together with the sound file. Of course, this is done in a privacy-friendly way.
  Would you rather not receive a transcript? Soon you will also be able to turn this option off in the Voicemail module.
