EasyChat 1.8.0

What changed

• The conversation information panel now supports a customer appointment with one or two SMS reminders. The operator selects the date, service, specialist, and confirmed phone while EasyChat previews the exact send time and text.
• Reminders follow the same workflow in the web admin and Android app: create, edit, cancel, or send now. A dedicated list brings together upcoming appointments, items requiring attention, and history.
• Encoding and SMS segment count are visible before saving. Quiet hours and a message length limit help prevent inconvenient nighttime sends and unexpectedly expensive messages.
• A conversation shows the real SMS path: waiting for the phone, accepted by the carrier, and, when the network supplies a receipt, delivered to the recipient. Privacy-safe diagnostics check push, permission, SIM, and background work without exposing the phone number or message text in logs.
• On a dual-SIM phone, incoming replies default to the work SIM. All-SIM access is an explicit diagnostics setting; the same screen verifies secure storage and turns red when a reply cannot be encrypted and queued safely.
• Reaching the free-period limit no longer cancels background purchase checks or push recovery. Switching accounts while an SMS is being claimed safely cancels modem handoff, while late carrier evidence cannot start a duplicate send.
• A retry after a lost server response refers to the same operation instead of creating a duplicate message. If the process stops between saving and phone handoff, EasyChat continues through its protected queue within the original deadline.
• Deleting a conversation with future SMS is now an explicit decision: EasyChat offers to keep the reminders or cancel them. A message already handed to the carrier remains immutable so the actual history stays clear.

Who should read this

• Salons, clinics, service centers, and other businesses that remind customers about appointments or visits.
• Operators who move between the web admin and Android app during the day.
• Administrators who need to see where an SMS stopped and avoid duplicate sending after a network interruption.

Important limitations

• Closing or swiping EasyChat away does not cancel normal system background work. Android Force stop, however, prevents the app from starting itself: unlock the phone and open EasyChat manually before the job expires.
• Delivered appears only when the mobile network returns a delivery report. When the carrier does not provide one, Accepted by carrier is the correct final state.
