🚀 Top Features / Major Features

Comprehensive Stripe Integration & Billing Ecosystem (NF-65, NF-82, NF-89, NF-93): We have deployed a series of massive billing system upgrades.

Valstorm Sandbox Environments (NF-103): Introduced backend infrastructure supporting individual sandboxes, allowing developers and administrators to safely test configurations, custom functions, and schemas without touching production.

☎️ ValPhone & Communication

Historical twilio Sync Completion (NF-90): Deployed scripts and API services to fetch and index all historic call and SMS logs, mapping them correctly to contacts.

Email Recipient Auto-Population (FI-141): Clicking on any contact's email within the communication timeline now automatically prepopulates the recipient field in the composer.

Permissioned Object Creation (B-113): Settings panel now properly restricts the Object Creator to only show applications that the active user has explicit administrative rights to.

⚙️ Developer Console & Infrastructure

Secure Proxy Server (NF-116): Implemented a proxy layer for standardizing outbound API calls and enforcing authorization tokens safely.
