Hear about new referrals, see whose session it is, and come back to your document
Owners and admins now hear about a new website referral by email and in Aldra, and choose who is emailed. The calendar shows whose session is whose at a glance, and a document open beside a chat keeps its place when you move away.

What’s new
An email when a website referral arrives
When someone submits your website referral form, every active owner and admin of your organisation gets an email saying a new referral is waiting in Inbox, with a link to review it.
The email names your organisation but includes nothing about the person referred or who referred them.
Choose who gets emailed
In Settings, Website referrals, choose whether owners and admins are emailed about new referrals, which is on unless you turn it off. You can also send the person who made a referral an acknowledgement at the email address they entered, which is off until you turn it on.
The acknowledgement names only your organisation, with nothing from the referral itself.
A notice while Aldra is open
If a website referral arrives while you are using Aldra, owners and admins see a notice with a link to review it, or to open Inbox when several arrive together. It stays until you dismiss it, and referrals already waiting when Aldra opens are left to the Inbox badge.
Browser notifications, if you want them
In Settings, Website referrals, turn on browser notifications for this device to hear about a new referral while Aldra is open in another tab. Clicking a notification takes you to the referral, or to Inbox when there are several. Turn them off on the same page.
See whose session it is at a glance
Sessions on the calendar now take a colour for each participant, and a participant keeps the same colour every time. Each session also names its status, such as Draft, Submitted or Invoiced, with an icon and a word, and planned sessions keep a dashed edge.
Today, now, and one row of controls
Today's date is highlighted and a line marks the current time across it. The Calendar and List switch and New session sit in the top bar, date, status, search and range share one row, and editing a session opens in a side panel.
A document beside a chat has its own address
Opening a document beside a chat now changes the page address. Back closes the document and Forward opens it again, refreshing keeps it open, and a copied link opens the chat with the same document beside it.
A copied link only opens the document for people who already have access to it.
Pick up where you left off
Leave a chat with a document open and come back later, and the document opens beside it again on the same browser. Close the document first and the chat stays as you left it.
Availability and how to get it
Live on the web for every organisation. Referral emails, notices and their settings are for owners and admins, in Settings under Website referrals.
