Changelog
What's new in KudosCRM.
The major releases, month by month. We ship continuously — this is the headline reel.
November2026
The Marketplace opens.
6 major releases
The KudosCRM Marketplace
IntegrationsFind, install and manage apps from inside KudosCRM. Before you allow an app, you see exactly what it can read and write. One Manage page lets you set it up, follow its activity, change its access, pause it or remove it — and calls, texts and voicemails from connected phone apps land on the timeline, named by the app.
Build on KudosCRM
PlatformAny workspace admin can now become a developer: create apps with OAuth sign-in and scoped access, subscribe to signed webhooks across the event catalog, try them in test workspaces, and follow the published developer docs. Scoped API tokens and webhooks with test sends, delivery history and one-click resend come to every workspace. Submitting apps for Marketplace listing opens soon.
Connect Claude and ChatGPT
AISign in to KudosCRM from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code with your own account — no tokens to copy. Your AI tool can look up and update records with 76 tools, and admins can switch access off or make it read-only.
Operations, rebuilt for delivery
OperationsIndustry project templates with phases and approval gates, a My work page, a Timeline with critical path and baseline, risks and issues, status updates, timesheets, change requests, a request intake, and a client page to share progress.
Honest chat handover
SupportVisitors hear that a teammate is available only when someone on shift for that inbox is actually in. Set shift hours for a team or a person, and chats are released when a shift ends.
Meeting times in each guest's own timezone
SchedulingConfirmations, invitations, reminders and reschedule emails now show the time in each guest's timezone, with a clear label like EST — and your own alert adds their time next to yours.
October2026
Ask, and see the answer.
10 major releases
The Kudos AI panel, with chart answers
AIAsk Kudos AI from any page — "won deals by owner this quarter" — and get the same chart your Reports page would draw, with the exact dates spelled out, a table view, and one click to add it to a dashboard.
Forms, rebuilt
GrowthA full-screen form builder with steps, show-when logic, styling, preview and publish-when-ready; a Submissions & insights tab with conversion by day; and a guided wizard to connect forms already on your own site, with a test mode.
Insights with live charts
SalesEvery report card now draws its own live chart and shows the change against the previous period, and new Growth reports cover leads, lead conversion, capture and outreach.
Scores with reasons, and unusual changes
SalesLead and deal scores show their grade and the reasons behind them on lists, My queue and the board — and the Command Center flags what moved unusually this week, with a Why? that explains it.
A sorted inbox
SupportNew email arrives sorted into Sales, Support or Noise, so the messages that matter come first. Move any conversation with one click, and undo it just as fast.
Live chat that reaches out
SupportThe chat opens on its own when your team or the AI Agent replies, you get a nudge when a returning visitor is back, and conversations export from the queue — all of them or just a filtered set.
The KudosCRM Partner Program
GrowthRefer teams or set KudosCRM up for your clients and earn 20% to 30% of every payment they make in their first 12 months — with a partner portal, custom referral links, and tracking from click to signup to paid.
A meeting page built around the moment
SchedulingJoin is front and centre before and during the call, "Did this meeting happen?" takes over afterwards, and the time, status and countdown sit together at the top.
Work on your data at scale
PlatformBulk actions on Companies, contact exports over 10,000 rows that finish in the background, and field types you can change with a preview first — and change back for 30 days.
Settings, reorganised
PlatformEvery setting on one screen with each page's status, a redesigned Notification preferences page where you choose how often notification emails arrive, and an audit log that leads with security alerts and the event stream.
September2026
The Outreach release.
5 major releases
Outreach
GrowthA new section for outbound: email and SMS sequences with A/B variants, sending windows in each contact's own timezone, holiday calendars, and a Results view by sequence, channel, and rep.
Kudos AI, working ahead of you
AIA weekly pipeline brief, meeting notes that become tasks, drafts in your brand voice, and AI-suggested openers that a person approves before anything sends.
Chat with clear ownership
SupportEvery conversation gets an owner and join rules, and every visitor a numbered identity — so nothing is answered twice, and nothing is dropped.
Relationship signals
SalesWarmth and last-touch on deals and contacts, so the relationships going quiet surface before they slip.
A calmer first run
PlatformA redesigned five-screen onboarding that sets up your workspace, starter pipeline, and how to reach you in one pass — and routing rules that deliver new leads straight into a chosen pipeline stage.
August2026

4 major releases
AI Agent on your website
AIThe chat widget answers from your help content, knows when to hand a conversation to the team, and can be switched on or off — visitors can opt out too.
