Changelog

Follow up on the latest improvements and updates.

RSS

This release is a big one for anyone using the phone screener. We've overhauled our telephony stack, tightened up how you manage communication channels, and shipped a number of improvements under the hood that make the whole platform faster and more reliable. Here's a peek at what's changed.
A new phone system: powered by our C2 carrier.
Phone calls in Studiio currently support our C1 carrier, this update adds the functionality for our new C2 carrier. A significant upgrade to the infrastructure behind your on-air phone experience. Everything you already know... the phone screener, call screening, call transfers, hold music, recording and transcription is still there, now running on a more reliable foundation.
For stations using the in-browser phone screener, this means better call quality, more stable connections, and improved handling of multiple simultaneous calls. Your presenters and producers connect directly from the browser as before, no extra software needed.
Our C1 carrier phone numbers will be gradually migrated to our C2 carrier over the coming weeks. We will send you an email with more details regarding this and any expected downtime.
Improvements to communication channels
We've made a round of updates across SMS/MMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram Direct, tidying up how messages, threads, and accounts are displayed and managed. The changes are subtle but add up to a noticeably smoother experience when you're switching between channels mid-show.
Content: Now a full production suite
The Content tab has been rebuilt from the ground up. It's no longer just a document editor, it's a central workspace for everything that goes into a show.
Multitrack audio editor
You can now record, edit, and mix audio directly in Studiio. Layer multiple tracks, cut and splice clips, adjust levels, and export a finished mix, all without leaving your browser. Whether you're building a pre-recorded segment, editing an interview, or assembling a bulletin, the tools are right there alongside your script.
Real-time collaboration
Multiple people can edit the same document at the same time. You'll see coloured presence indicators showing who else is in the document, and changes appear live without refreshing. Great for producers and presenters working together before a show.
Version history
Every save is now a revision. Open the history sidebar to browse past versions of any document, preview what it looked like, and restore it with a single click. No more losing work.
Access controls
You can now set per-document access permissions directly from the content editor. Control who can view or edit individual scripts, runsheets, or bulletins.
Templates
Create document templates for recurring formats, show runsheets, news bulletins, interview guides, and apply them when creating new content. Consistent structure, less setup every week.
A new dashboard home
Your dashboard has two new modules.
Today's Timeline
gives you a horizontal view of the full day, your scheduled shows, content items, and phone activity all laid out in a single scrollable timeline. It automatically scrolls to the current time so you can see at a glance where you are in the day.
Recent Content
surfaces the documents your team has been working on most recently, so you can jump straight back in without hunting through folders.
Developer tools: Webhooks and API keys
Webhooks
You can now register webhook endpoints to receive real-time HTTP notifications when things happen in Studiio, new listeners, content changes, phone events, and more. Configure which events you want, view a delivery log per webhook, and retry failed deliveries. Available under Settings > Webhooks.
API Keys, redesigned.
The API key management page has been rebuilt. You can now create scoped keys with fine-grained permissions, choosing exactly which resources each key can read or write. Each key also has its own activity log so you can see how and when it's being used.
News and weather sources
You can now manage your own news and weather data sources from Settings.
News sources
lets you add any RSS, Atom, JSON, or XML feed alongside Studiio's built-in wire. Preview feeds before adding them, map custom fields, and choose which categories to pull from.
Weather sources
lets you connect your own weatherapi.com or OpenWeatherMap key, or point to any custom JSON weather endpoint. Configure multiple locations and field mappings for your region.
Install Studiio on your phone
If you visit Studiio on iOS or Android, you'll now see a prompt to add it to your home screen. This gives you a full-screen, app-like experience without going through an app store.
Billing and subscription, rebuilt
Your billing page has been rebuilt. You can now see a clear breakdown of your current plan, track usage across different features, view your full invoice history, and manage your payment method, all from a single easier-to-navigate page.
Users, permissions, noticeboard and alerts: refreshed
Inviting team members, managing roles, and setting permissions have all been redesigned to be clearer and quicker. The Noticeboard and Alerts sections have also been rebuilt with a cleaner layout, better filtering, and an improved editing experience.
Faster, more reliable backend
We've upgraded our caching infrastructure to handle real-time data, things like live phone screener state, call routing, and on-air status more efficiently. In practice this means less lag between actions and what you see on screen, and better resilience if there's a brief connectivity blip.
That's everything in this release. As always, we'd love to hear what you think. Head to our feedback board or open the live chat and let us know.

We've been busy. This release brings a refreshed look to your dashboard, meaningful upgrades to account security, richer listener insight, and a first look at where your station's content is heading. Here's everything that's new.
A fresh new look
Your dashboard has a new font and visual style. We've cleaned up the typography and refined the interface so everything is easier to read and quicker to scan, the same Studiio you know, looking sharper and feeling more modern. No action needed; it's already live the next time you log in.
Stronger account security
Two updates make it easier to keep your account locked down without locking yourself out.
2FA recovery codes are here. You can now download a set of recovery codes to keep somewhere safe. If you ever lose access to your usual two-factor method, a lost phone, a wiped authenticator app, a recovery code gets you back in. Generate and download yours from your security settings.
Add multiple passkeys. You're no longer limited to a single passkey for biometrics or a security key. Register your laptop's fingerprint reader, your phone, or a hardware key in a drawer so you always have a way in, whichever device you're on.
Memberships & Donations in the Listeners area
Your listeners are more than a name and an email. You can now attach membership and donation data to individual listeners, and see it surfaced against both listener and show records. That means a clearer picture of who's supporting your station, how, and around which programming... all in one place, right where you're already working.
In future, you will be able to automatically sync membership and donation data through integrations. If you have any suggestions for integrations, please let us know!
New: Content tab (BETA testers only)
Our beta testers are getting an early look at the Content tab, a single home for everything that goes into a show. Scripts, run sheets, news bulletins, weather reports and audio files all live together in one central place. No more scattered docs and hunting for the right file before you go on air.
It's in beta for now while we gather feedback. If you don't see the tab yet, we'll be releasing it to our customers in the coming weeks.
Tidier moderation
Handling moderated SMS/MMS messages just got cleaner. You can now dismiss a moderated message to clear it out of your moderation queue while keeping the message itself deleted. The result is a tidier queue that only shows what still needs your attention.
That's the lot for this release. As always, we'd love to hear what you think, your feedback shapes what we build next. Head over to our feedback board or launch our live chat.
  • The Studiio Team
Studiio is aware of the upcoming ACMA Sender ID registration changes, and we want to update our Australian customers on what this means for you.
Studiio does not use Sender IDs when sending SMS replies or triggers. We always send messages from your phone number rather than your account name. This means your listeners won't receive Studiio SMS messages with an 'unverified' label, they'll continue to see your SMS number as the sender just as they do now.
You do not need to register a Sender ID with ACMA for your Studiio phone numbers.
However, if you use a separate provider for bulk SMS sending, you may need to register with ACMA. Please contact that provider for further details.
If you have any questions, feel free to email support@studiio.io.
We've just pushed a new update to our dashboard!
Features include:
⚡️ A faster interface: We've cleaned up some unused code, made some performance improvements and added some better route handling.
📊 New show level statistics: Now visible via the new Shows page and within each show itself. See which shows have the most engagement, and what communication channels you get the most engagement from per show.
🎧 Listeners page updates: We've added two new modules (listener tenure and top listeners)
If you have any feedback, suggestions or encounter any issues, let us know via live chat or email support@studiio.io.

SMS Triggers
We've overhauled our SMS triggers area to give you greater control and visibility over your SMS triggers. You can now see stats related to your triggers, logs of triggered messages, along with some new features:
  • Keyword Aliases: Set multiple keywords for one trigger
  • Trigger variables: Insert variables such as song now playing, last 3 songs, now on air, next on air and more to notify your listeners of current content
  • Phone number filtering: Trigger SMS messages on specific phone numbers
  • Per-sender cooldown: Stops your listeners from flooding your triggers and saves you money
  • Response quota: Set limits on how many messages sent per trigger per day/week/month
  • Schedule: Set your trigger to be active on certain days and times, or set it to be active during a specific show

Pricing information
You've asked for better pricing info in the dashboard, so we've added it. Any additional services you use (e.g. outbound SMS, SMS triggers, phone calls outside your usage and users outside your usage) now display a nifty pricing badge to help!
