What's new in Dinaya

Every update, improvement, and fix — straight from the team building Dinaya for Sri Lankan businesses.

May 2026
v1.5Latest

Deals, plan gating & stability fixes

NewDinaya Deals

Post flash discounts on slow appointment slots. Clients discover deals on Dinaya, book at discounted prices, and you track impressions and conversions in Reports.

ImprovedAI voice receptionist coming soon

Voice bookings are being prepared for a later rollout. Setup requests, voice API keys, and voice-created bookings are paused for now.

NewPlan gating & broadcast messages

Plan limits are now enforced across the dashboard. Growth plan users can send broadcast messages to clients from a new status panel.

ImprovedNew dashboard sidebar

The dashboard navigation has been redesigned with a collapsible macOS-style sidebar, grouped sections, and a sticky plan usage indicator at the bottom.

FixedRegistration was returning 503

A slow Upstash rate-limit check was timing out the signup function before the account could be created. Fixed with a fast fallback to in-memory rate limiting.

FixedSecurity hardening across auth and payments

Completed a full audit — tightened auth token handling, payment webhook validation, and API input sanitisation.

FixedMobile booking date/time layout

Date and time pickers were overflowing on narrow screens. The booking wizard now renders cleanly on all phone sizes.

v1.4

Discover directory, custom domains & landing page

NewDiscover directory

Businesses on Dinaya now appear in a public directory at dinaya.lk/discover — helping clients find local service providers by category.

NewCustom domain provisioning

Point your own domain to your Dinaya booking page. Domain verification and SSL are handled automatically.

ImprovedLanding page demo carousel

The homepage now features a narrative product demo showing the booking flow in action, alongside fresh trust signals and social proof.

ImprovedFaster page loads — inline SVG icons

Replaced the Bootstrap Icons webfont with inline SVGs. Pages no longer block rendering on a font download, cutting load time on mobile.

FixedBooking URL protocol fix

Booking links in dashboard emails were missing the https:// prefix on some environments, causing broken links. Resolved.

May 2026
v1.3

Documentation hub, performance & platform hardening

NewDocumentation hub

A full help centre at dinaya.lk/help — step-by-step guides for setup, payments, staff management, and integrations, with live UI walkthroughs.

ImprovedPerformance improvements

Reduced LCP and main-thread work on the homepage. Also replaced the icon webfont with inline SVGs to eliminate a render-blocking resource.

ImprovedMega menu navigation

The public nav now has full-width mega menus under Features, Solutions, and Resources — making it easier for visitors to find what they're looking for.

FixedAuth redirect fixes

Sign-out now correctly stays on the current host. Several login page routing edge cases were also resolved.

v1.2

PayHere payments, CRM & advanced service controls

NewPayHere payment gateway

Accept card and mobile wallet payments through PayHere. Set per-service deposits to reduce no-shows at checkout.

NewCRM — clients, pipeline & notes

Every client who books gets a profile automatically. Track pipeline stages, add notes, and see the full booking history per client.

NewAdvanced service controls

Set buffer times before and after appointments, minimum booking notice, daily capacity limits, and custom date overrides for holidays.

NewWebhooks with HMAC signing

Subscribe to booking events via webhooks — signed with HMAC so you can safely trigger automations in your own systems.

NewDashboard calendar & manual booking

View all upcoming appointments in a calendar, create manual bookings from the dashboard, and manage booking status and reminders in one place.

NewWhatsApp reminders & CSV export

Automated WhatsApp reminder messages go out before each appointment. Export your full client and booking history to CSV at any time.

NewServices & staff management

Add services with custom durations, prices, and booking rules. Assign staff, set their availability, and let clients choose who they book with.
