Features

  • Conferences: Ever needed to talk to more than one person at a time? Or bring your coach into a call to help with some tricky questions? Or bring two external parties to the party? Try hitting 'Add person' to get the party started.
  • Accounting: If you're an accounting firm, version 3.5.0 might just get you a little bit excited! We have released integrations with both Xero Practice Manager and FYI, and these are now available in beta. You can now click to access your client data in either of these platforms.
  • Speed! We are always on the hunt for ways to speed up our app, and this version comes with a host of speed improvements to make your day go faster.
  • Locale settings: Sick of seeing the date in some foreign format? Or struggling to know whether 1700 is when you'll be at work? Cradle now pulls the locale settings from your computer and shows you dates and times in the format your computer has set as its default. 
  • Security: We've been working hard to ensure that you're not an easy target for any security issues, so we always recommend staying on the latest version of Cradle. 

Bug Fixes

  • Audio device stability: This has been a tricky one, but we've been determined to fix it! Some computers (to prevent websites from fingerprinting them and therefore tracking users) change the internal identifier for your audio devices regularly. This makes it hard for us to know which headset to use, giving you that pesky orange banner. This shouldn't happen anymore (let us know if it does!)
  • Logging in issues: If you ever find the app just sitting there at the login screen, we have built a little login retry to prevent computers that don't have internet when they first start from ending up logged out of Cradle.
This has been a big effort, and even though it feels like a small update on the outside, the inside has had some massive work done to it! If you're worried, finding things don't work the way you expect, or have something to report, please rate the call with a thumbs down, or email us with what you've noticed.

  • Information on in call screens now split out into more easily recognisable format: 
      1) The reason you're receiving this call, which includes the rule, group, transferred (new!), contact owner (new!) and smart connected call reasons
      2) The company of the contact, if the contact is a person
      3) The lifecycle stage from HubSpot, if set
      4) The contact owner, which shows their presence (if it's not you) and can be clicked to allow a call transfer
      5) Coming soon: outbound calls will also show the enriched call information, so you'll get more information when you're calling out
  • Team calls now show more information! They also look different to an external call now
      1) The roles of the person you are talking to
      2) The person's email address, which you can click to send them an email during the call
  • The button layout at the bottom of the screen is different, with two extra buttons! Audio settings are now accessible from the in call screen, using the audio button. There is a new feature coming, so note the (unclickable for now) button to add a person to the call
  • Improved handling of calls from numbers where you have more than one contact
      1) You see a list of all possible contacts
      2) If there are more than five matches, you can scroll through the list
      3) Coming soon: you'll be able to click on the contact you're actually talking to and see their details, plus get to their HubSpot record
  • Improved contact syncing behaviour! When you receive a call from (and soon, make a call to) a number with recently updated HubSpot contact details, Cradle will automatically grab the latest data from HubSpot and sync your local contacts - you'll never be out of date again!
  • Audio settings changes on your machine are now easier to handle! We've made it easier to update your settings if you're changing computers regularly. We've also fixed a frustrating bug on Windows where the default audio settings of the computer could cause Cradle to continually ask you to check your audio settings.
  • Bug fixes, specifically Windows Control-A being problematic, audio settings getting lost, Contact matching consistency etc.
  • Coming soon:
     - More improvements to in call screens, including warm transferred caller ID information
