14-day free trial · No contracts · Cancel anytime
April 2026's 128 releases made it the biggest month of the period, and the center of gravity was agentic AI: workflows gained a true AI Agent action, AI Studio matured fast, and Voice AI got a full-screen builder.
If the AI acceleration is new to you, our AI features overview maps the whole suite - April's releases slot directly into it.
Agentic AI arrives in workflows
- AI Agent Action in Workflows - an autonomous agent step that can reason mid-automation, now with MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool support, full conversation history access and token-usage optimization
- AI Studio gained a code editor, project cloning and enhanced agent tasking with a Todo Manager
- Voice AI got a full-screen agent builder - configuring the phone agents from our Voice AI guide is now a proper workspace
- Mistral AI joined the workflow actions roster, and Ask AI can now create and update SaaS plans
WhatsApp starts calling
WhatsApp Calling entered closed beta alongside a new connect-create-or-migrate onboarding flow - the channel from our WhatsApp guide is becoming a full communications line, not just messaging.
Agencies: white-label goes desktop
The White-Label Desktop App shipped - your branded platform as an installable desktop application, joining the white-label surface we describe in the agency CRM guide. SaaS operators also gained automatic tax collection for SaaS subscriptions via Stripe, global tax compliance for reselling, and reselling analytics widgets - all directly relevant to the model in our Agency Pro overview. Note the pricing update effective April 2026 and carrier-fee changes - current numbers always in the pricing guide.
Sales and checkout
Opportunity Forecasting and opportunity smart lists brought revenue projection into pipelines (see custom pipelines for the foundation), while calendars gained Klarna and Affirm buy-now-pay-later, LATAM got Mercado Pago, and gift cards reached general availability. Courses picked up live sessions and funnels in Labs, plus tax support at offer checkout.
Builder and productivity
Find & Replace arrived in the Workflow Builder, drip actions got major upgrades, campaigns gained nested folders, and an embedded live chat widget plus announcements builder rounded out the toolkit - the widget pattern from our website visitor follow-up guide now embeds anywhere.
