Source: https://xonark.com/changelog/6/ What’s new · shipping log # Xona keeps shipping. Every release, in the words your front desk would use — no jargon, no roadmap promises. If it’s on this page, it’s already running in live clinics. 111 updates 47 release days shipping since November 2025 page 6 / 8 July 22, 2026 - Fixed ## We stop texting numbers that can't receive texts Reminders, recall and booking texts now skip phone numbers the carrier has proven can't receive SMS — landlines and repeatedly-undeliverable numbers. Fewer dead-end texts, and fewer of the same patients bouncing back to "Needs you." We still phone those patients for recall, and a number that texts you back is reactivated automatically. - Fixed ## Fewer false "trouble processing" texts to patients When the AI needed a few extra seconds to answer a patient's text, it sometimes sent them a "sorry, trouble processing" message and opened a follow-up task for you. We gave it the time it needs, so that spurious text and task now happen far less often. - Fixed ## The Today "Calls" filter works again On Today, tapping the "Calls" filter used to blank the whole list. It now shows the patients who have call follow-ups, and the always-empty "Recovery" filter has been removed. - Fixed ## Smarter reminder replies Reminder texts no longer ask for a birth date just to confirm; a simple 'no changes' counts as confirmation; dates read fully in the patient's language; and on a shared family phone the AI always names whose appointment is whose. - Improved ## Real dollars from your PMS on the results dashboard The results dashboard now shows the actual dollar value of the appointments Xona books and confirms — pulled straight from your PMS — instead of a flat estimate. - New ## See what your AI booked, right in Activities Every appointment your AI books, cancels, or reschedules — by call or text — now appears in Activities, with a new Appointments filter. Click any row for the details: the change, the service and time, or a recall's full journey. - New ## One tap to text a patient when you change their appointment Move or cancel an appointment on the schedule board and a one-tap chip offers to text the patient about the change — in their own language, respecting opt-outs and texting hours. July 19, 2026 - Improved ## Connecting your practice software is easier The setup link from the Xona installer now works for a full 24 hours, survives page reloads, and picks the right database automatically. If the connection hiccups, you get live progress and a Try again button instead of an error page. - Improved ## ASAP list: open records and drag to book On the Schedule Board, click a name in the ASAP list to open the patient's full record, and use the new drag handle to pull them onto the board to book. - Improved ## PMS setup now speaks your language The Windows agent download and setup pages now display in all 13 languages — use the globe icon to switch, and the choice sticks. The download page also no longer needs a sign-in, so you can send its link straight to the person at your PMS computer. Find it under Settings → Integration → your PMS → Connect. July 18, 2026 - New ## Desktop notifications from your browser Turn on browser notifications in Settings → Xona AI and your computer pops up an alert the moment Xona needs you — a new request, booking, or appointment change — even when the Xona tab is in the background. Use the Send test button to confirm it works. Works in Chrome, Edge, and Safari. July 17, 2026 - Improved ## Activity Log and Recall History tell the whole story The Activity Log opens with 30-day stat cards for texts, calls, recall, recovery, and appointments — click a card to filter. Recall History is now a true call log: every attempt shows its own outcome, and Booked shows who really booked — by the AI call, at the clinic, or on their own. - Improved ## The AI receptionist remembers your patients When a patient calls or texts, the AI already knows their recent calls, the reminders and recall messages you sent them, and any open requests — so returning patients are greeted like the regulars they are, not like strangers. - New ## A brand-new Schedule Board Your day, week, and month now live on one fast board: drag to book or move appointments, see gaps and overlaps clearly, and keep an ASAP waitlist beside the schedule — drag a waiting patient straight onto an open slot. - New ## Do-not-contact, visible and reversible A new Do-not-contact tab under Reminders shows every patient and number currently excluded from messages — who set it, why, and until when. Patients who text START are re-enabled automatically, and carrier-blocked numbers explain exactly how to get messages flowing again. See it working ## The product is the pitch.
