Each AI reply keeps the context of the message it answered, so a follow-up that quotes nothing — or arrives days later — is still answered about the same listing, order or booking. Correlation reported to your webhooks stays strict. A person can take over. When your team answers a lead by hand, automatic replies pause in that conversation for human_takeover_minutes (a day by default; 0 turns it off). Replies skipped during the pause arrive as ai.reply_blocked with reason human_takeover. Messages with context (alerts) and scheduled sends do not pause; send pause_ai to decide explicitly. Bursts get one answer. &quot;hi&quot; / &quot;is the flat&quot; / &quot;still available??&quot; now gets one reply that answers all three. Replies wait reply_delay_seconds (5 by default) for the rest of a burst; the earlier runs show as superseded. Edit what the AI answers from. PATCH /v1/messages/{id} takes context with or without new text. A context-only edit has no time limit, never reaches WhatsApp, and also updates AI replies that carried the old context forward.

Team includes 50,000 and MCP. Quote, mention, polls and contact cards on POST /v1/messages/text: reply_to, mentions (including &quot;all&quot; in groups), link_preview, poll, contact. Guide → Act on sent messages: reactions, mark read, edit (15 minutes) and delete for everyone. Guide → Typing indicator via POST /v1/connections/{c}/presence, and AI replies that mark the question read and show typing first (humanize, on by default). New webhook events: message.reaction, message.edited, message.revoked, poll.vote, group.participants_changed, call.received, and automatic call rejection per connection. Group management: create groups, add and remove members, promote admins, change settings and invite links — with a limit of 20 member adds per hour to protect the number. Guide → Link a number with a pairing code instead of a QR. Guide → Group discovery over REST and MCP. Sign in with Google or GitHub in the dashboard. The retention sweep no longer fails on alerts that had replies. Deleting a connection now also ends its WhatsApp session.</description></item><item><title>22 September 2026: Unlimited messaging on paid plans</title><link>https://www.chatrail.dev/changelog#22-september-2026</link><guid>https://www.chatrail.dev/changelog#22-september-2026</guid><description>Paid plans have no monthly message cap; number-safety limits still apply. Webhook endpoints can be scoped to one connection on any plan with more than one number — Core and Core + AI with an extra number, not just Team.</description></item><item><title>21 September 2026: The ChatRail API</title><link>https://www.chatrail.dev/changelog#21-september-2026</link><guid>https://www.chatrail.dev/changelog#21-september-2026</guid><description>Send WhatsApp messages with delivery tracking, scheduling, media, context attached to alerts and replies correlated to them, signed webhooks, AI replies, and MCP tools.
