1

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

Completed

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

2

v1.7.1 — Confirmations, feedback & search

Safer deletions, clearer feedback when something goes wrong, search and filters on your lists, and more accessible dialogs

Completed

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
