Changelog
This page tracks what is new in Yarla. New features, improvements and notable changes are listed here by month, each with a link to the relevant help-centre article.
September 2026 — The phone provider as the voice
- On the Technical tab, turn on Let the phone provider speak the replies. The phone provider runs the phone call; the greeting, including the recording disclosure, stays your exact text. Texts, WhatsApp, webchat and the dashboard test chat keep your own model. A transfer, voicemail or the max-duration goodbye stops that model and then speaks the fixed sentence. See Technical settings.
- Ultra voices Callie, Asher and Clara cover Dutch and the other languages, including multilingual. Natural pauses and tone appears only for an Ultra voice with that switch on. See Languages & voices.
- Up to five public MCP servers (name, URL, and optionally which tools). The phone provider calls them itself. Do not put passwords there. Live web search stays off on these calls.
September 2026 — Inbox, calendar and languages
- Usage follows the subscription period, not the calendar month.
- Landlines do not create a shared contact. A booking still confirms by email when SMS cannot be delivered.
- One number can use a different assistant for inbound and outbound calls.
- Campaigns can be searched, filtered and paged. The inbox filters by assistant, colours tags and can take over a chat from the list.
- WhatsApp templates after a call go only to a verified team number. Images stay in the inbox.
- Slack, Airtable, Baserow, Stora, eTermin and Microsoft 365 calendar.
- Spanish as a dashboard language, identity checks before outbound calls, and a reseller that opens a client only after that client grants access.
