Changelog

What we shipped

LimeCall updates continuously — there is no release you have to install and no version to upgrade to. This is the record of what changed, newest first.

New features and major improvements only. Most of what we merge in any week is internal tooling, plumbing and small fixes — listing all of it would bury the handful of things you would actually want to know.

Drive the widget from your own code

The website widget gained a JavaScript API, so your page can ask whether anyone is available, place a callback itself, and open the panel from a link. It also stopped waiting to be spoken to first.

  • New

    A JavaScript API on window.LimeCall

    Ask whether an agent is actually available before you offer a call, submit a callback request straight from your own form and get the request id back, set or read the department the visitor belongs to, and read the visitor id the widget already mints for attribution. Any link to #limecall opens the panel, so a marketing page can deep-link to it without writing a line of JavaScript.

  • New

    Suggested replies in the widget’s opening state

    The panel opens with a few one-tap questions instead of an empty text box, and the questions are yours to set. Visitors who would never have typed the first message start a conversation instead of leaving.

Numbers Devices
Permalink

Bring your own desk phone

Your numbers can now register to a real SIP device — a desk phone, a softphone on your laptop, or an app on your mobile. Setup is a QR code.

  • New

    A Devices tab in Settings

    Issue SIP credentials, see which devices have registered and when each was last used, and revoke one that should not be there. Client app downloads and setup instructions sit alongside.

  • New

    QR auto-configuration

    Point a supported softphone at the QR code and it configures itself. The code carries a single-use provisioning link that expires once redeemed, so a screenshot of it left in a chat thread is not a working account.

Widget AI receptionist Callbacks
Permalink

Route website calls to AI, a person, or a team

The biggest change to widget calling since it launched. A call raised from your site can go to the AI receptionist, a named person, or a team — with departments, working hours, voicemail and a fallback chain behind it.

  • New

    Choose where a widget call lands

    Send voice to the AI receptionist, a member, or a team, per widget. Add departments so the visitor picks who they need, and set a cascade so a call nobody answers moves down the list instead of ending.

  • New

    Voicemail, missed-call SMS and recording on widget calls

    The routing options that inbound phone calls already had now apply to calls raised from your site. A missed call can leave voicemail, send you an SMS, or both.

  • New

    AI minutes overflow to a human

    When an account runs out of AI minutes mid-month, widget calls route to a member or team instead of failing.

  • Improved

    Live channels respect your working hours

    If widget voice is routed to people rather than the AI, the live options hide themselves when nobody is working, instead of offering a call that will ring an empty room.

Numbers
Permalink

Number verification in one wizard

Buying a regulated number means proving who you are. That is now a single ordered flow that asks only for what your particular number needs.

  • Improved

    Five ordered steps, on both the in-app page and the emailed link

    Identity, address, business details, documents, review — in that order, with the requirements computed from the country and number type you ordered rather than read off a generic list. Every upload is checked against the step it belongs to, so a passport dropped into the proof-of-address slot is caught immediately rather than a week later by the carrier.

  • Improved

    A rejected document no longer means starting again

    An order held up by a document can be corrected in place, and every pending order is listed in one screen with exactly what is missing from each.

AI receptionist Callbacks Billing

AI answering on callback plans

Callback plans can use the AI receptionist, with the minutes metered properly and a human waiting on the other side of the limit.

  • New

    AI answering, metered and backed by a person

    AI time on a callback plan counts against your AI minutes rather than running unmetered, so the usage you see is the usage you have. At the limit the caller is handed to the configured member or team rather than dropped.

Dialer Dashboard
Permalink

A dialer you can work from all day

The in-browser dialer picked up the controls a working rep needs, and campaigns learned to target a list instead of everyone.

  • New

    In-call controls on the call itself

    Hold, mute, transfer and notes live on the call overlay, next to the caller context, rather than somewhere else in the dashboard.

  • New

    Do-not-call guard, recent redial, and a device picker

    The dialer checks a number against your do-not-call list before it rings, keeps recent numbers one click away, and lets you choose which microphone and speaker it uses.

  • New

    Campaigns target a saved segment

    Point a campaign at a segment instead of the whole contact list.

AI receptionist Dashboard
Permalink

Set the receptionist up by talking to it

Configuring an AI agent stopped being a form of prompt fields, and the contact record became somewhere you can actually work.

  • New

    Describe what the agent should do, in a chat

    A setup tab where you tell the agent its job in plain language and it writes its own configuration.

  • New

    A full contact panel

    Edit a contact in place, read the detailed call log, and keep notes and an activity trail against the record.

Billing Numbers AI receptionist Dashboard
Permalink

Numbers, billing and AI actions, self-serve

A large batch across billing, numbers and the AI agent — most of what an account can now do without talking to anyone landed in one week.

  • New

    Buy US numbers from the dashboard

    Search available numbers, pay, and have the number allocated to your account without talking to anyone.

  • New

    Plan and billing in one place

    Cards, invoices, plan changes and cancellation, with AI-talk and phone meters on the billing card and in the sidebar.

  • New

    AI overage credits

    A credit balance you can top up, so running past your AI minutes limits the agent rather than stopping it dead.

  • New

    Connect your own API to the AI agent

    An Actions panel where the agent can call an endpoint you own mid-conversation — to check stock, look up an order, or book something in your system.

  • New

    Test the agent from your browser

    A microphone test call, so you can hear what a caller hears before pointing a real number at it.

  • New

    Calls by page

    Which landing pages drove phone calls, ranked.

This page starts in July 2026, when we began keeping it. Work shipped before then is not listed rather than reconstructed after the fact.
