# Changelog

# v1.5.1

Release date: 2022-11-16

  • Identity validation (SMS): Now, the first time the SMS sending is to be used, there is a screen asking to verify the user's information by means of a 6-digit code sent by SMS to the user's phone. If the corresponding code is not entered, this screen will never let the user proceed to the message sending form.
  • Detection and blocking of unauthorized messages: Each message that is sent, the text goes through a pre-validation to corroborate that its content does not contain words with fraud potential.
  • New user registration | Mails in English: The new user registration flow now includes the sending of mails in English for NON-Spanish speaking users.
  • 🐞 Fix: Fixed the problem of messages not being able to be sent to El Salvador numbers.

# v1.4.4

Release date: 2022-10-13

  • 🐞 Removed the "New QR" button which generated a second QR when the first QR request failed. Instead a "Cancel" button was added when requesting a Whatsapp session, which deletes the previously requested user session, regardless of whether it failed or not, with the idea of always being able to request a new QR in case it is too late.
  • One more control was added to the "Send" button. It now also controls that the user's session is active.
  • The "Get session" button reads faster the Whatsapp information of those users who have already obtained a session previously and have not disconnected it from the App. This avoids raising new sessions each time you want to use the tool.

# v1.4.3

Release date: 2022-09-14

  • 🐞 Whatsapp library update.

# v1.4.2

Release date: 2022-09-01

  • 🐞 Fix: Export to Excel : Corrected the information in the "Status" column that is extracted when exporting to Excel.
  • Banned Tenants : New internal control to detect users that you want to restrict their access to the App. This control is performed in the Home page of the application, and in the "Send" button of the message sending form.
  • Templates : Text field with a limit of 5000 characters.
  • Sending messages | Message body with a 5000 character limit.
  • Lists | REMARKS field with a 5000 character limit.

# v1.4.0

Release date: 2022-08-12

  • Carousel | Multisession sending: Only for Enterprise plan, a new menu item is now available so that the user can register up to 10 WhatsApp sessions, and send messages dynamically from all registered sessions interleaved. We added a button so that the user does not have to read 10 QRs every time he/she needs to use the tool. In case there are saved sessions and the user has not closed them, they can all be retrieved with the "Get saved sessions" button.
  • Banned messages: We add a control to the "Send" button of the conventional message form (not multisession). If the message composed by the user contains impermissible words, the sending of that message is cancelled.

# v1.3.3

Release date: 2022-08-18

  • Stripe | Amounts in Mexican pesos for Mexican users: New payment links were created for each existing plan for Mexican users.
  • Maximum WhatsApp messages allowed for TRIAL plan is now 250.

  • WhatsApp | Mass Messaging: Adjustments were also made to allow users to send messages to a large list of contacts.
  • WhatsApp | Sending files: The adjustments made also allowed us to verify that the sending of files also had some restrictions, so we were testing the sending of heavier files, and in conclusion we are now able to send files with a weight of up to 50Mb.
