Changelog Cliento
Follow Cliento's evolution and discover the latest features added.
v1.7.2 — Appointments, Billing Automation & Authentication
Schedule and track client appointments directly from Cliento, with calendar export and one-click deletion. Automate your regular billing: set up a recurring invoice once, Cliento sends it automatically on schedule
New Appointments section in the dashboard: view all upcoming and past appointments at a glance
Stats overview: total, upcoming, completed and cancelled appointment counts
Search by title, client, company or project — combined with status and period filters (today, this week, upcoming, past)
Schedule a new appointment from the global Appointments page or directly from a client's profile
Each appointment card shows date, time, location, linked client and project
Export any upcoming appointment to Google Calendar or download as an .ics file
Delete an upcoming appointment with a single click — past and completed appointments are protected
Appointments visible on the client detail page, filtered to that client
New Recurring Invoices section in the dashboard (Solo & Pro)
Choose a frequency: monthly, quarterly or yearly — the invoice is generated and sent automatically each cycle
Set a payment due delay (e.g. 30 days) applied to every generated invoice
Pause or resume a recurring config at any time without deleting it
Each generated invoice appears in your Invoices list and is sent to the client by email, just like a manual invoice
Full traceability: last run date and next scheduled date visible on each config card
Two-factor authentication (2FA): secure your account with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy…) from your profile settings
v1.7.1 — Confirmations, feedback & search
Safer deletions, clearer feedback when something goes wrong, search and filters on your lists, and more accessible dialogs
Confirmation dialog before deleting a client, showing linked projects, invoices and quotes — option to archive instead if deletion is blocked
Confirmation dialog before deleting an invoice, quote, project comment, template or webhook — no more abrupt browser pop-ups
Clear success or error message after sending an invoice, marking it as paid, or converting a quote into a project
Clear error message if a quote's PDF export or email send fails, instead of failing silently
Same safety net extended to account login, sign-up, invoice and quote creation, payment links, and the client portal — you'll always know if an action succeeded or failed
Search bar to quickly find a client by name, company or email
Search and status filters (draft, sent, paid, accepted...) on invoices and quotes
Clear "no results" message when a search or filter doesn't match anything
Dialogs are now keyboard-friendly: close with Escape, click outside to dismiss, and Tab stays within the dialog instead of jumping to the page behind it
