Plumbers App v2.2.0
CROSS-APP API INTEGRATION UPGRADE
This release introduces a major enhancement that allows the Inventory App and Payroll App to communicate with the rest of the Automating Innovating AI CRM suite through the backend API. This upgrade improves automation, reduces manual work, and ensures consistent data across all connected apps.
WHAT THIS UPGRADE DOES
The Inventory App and Payroll App can now initiate authenticated API calls to the backend. The backend processes these requests and writes the data into SQL Server or SQL Express using the existing database schema. This enables cross-application workflows such as syncing materials, suppliers, work tickets, employees, and payroll batches.
SUPPORTED APP INTEGRATIONS
The Inventory App and Payroll App can now integrate with:
- Electrician App
- Gutter App
- Handyman App
- Plumbers App
- Production Manager App
- Roofers App
All communication flows through the backend API and into SQL Server, ensuring consistent and centralized data handling.
NEW IN-APP CONTROLS
Both the Inventory App and Payroll App now include dedicated controls that allow users to trigger API-powered operations directly from within the application. These controls follow your existing role-based access control and subscription plan rules.
TECHNICAL EXPLANATION:
The UI now exposes API-triggered operations such as material syncing, supplier syncing, inventory transactions, purchase order creation, employee syncing, work ticket syncing, and payroll submission. All actions are routed through the backend API and stored in SQL Server.
FULL COMPATIBILITY WITH SQL EXPRESS AND SQL SERVER
No database changes are required. The API writes to the same SQL Server instance your apps already use. All existing tables and structures remain unchanged.
ROLE AND PLAN ACCESS
Only the correct roles and subscription plans can use the new API-powered features.
Inventory App:
- inventory_manager
- local_admin
- global_admin
Payroll App:
- payroll_manager
- local_admin
- global_admin
Allowed Plans:
- Pro
- Enterprise
Basic plan users cannot access API-powered features.
SUMMARY
Introduces a powerful integration layer that allows the Inventory App and Payroll App to seamlessly interact with all other CRM apps through the backend API. This upgrade improves automation, reduces manual work, and ensures consistent data across the entire platform, while maintaining full compatibility with SQL Express and SQL Server.

============================================================
AI SUMMARY AGENT – RELEASE NOTES (v1.0)
This update introduces the new AI Summary Agent, available across all
client applications. The feature allows users to quickly summarize
any text they select or paste, using their available AI tokens.
- Feature Overview
The AI Summary Agent provides fast, on-demand text summarization
directly inside the application. It is designed for simplicity:
the user selects text, opens the AI Summary tool, and receives a
condensed summary based on the chosen length.
This feature does NOT automatically scan files, documents, or
database records. Users manually provide the text they want
summarized. Automatic database summarization may be added in a
future upgrade.
- How Users Access the AI Summary Agent
• Highlight or copy/paste any text inside the application.
• Open the AI Summary Agent panel.
• Choose a summary length (Short, Medium, Long).
• The summary is generated instantly if the user has tokens.
If the user does not have enough tokens, the system will open a
Stripe checkout page where additional tokens can be purchased.
- Summary Length Options
Short – approx. 300 characters
Medium – approx. 800 characters
Long – approx. 1500 characters
These limits ensure fast, consistent summaries across all apps.
- Token Authorization Flow
Before generating a summary, the system checks:
• Company ID
• User key
• Token balance
• Permission to use the AI Summary Agent
If authorized, tokens are deducted and the summary is generated.
If not authorized, the user is redirected to purchase more tokens.
- PDF Export Support
After a summary is generated, users can export the result as a PDF
using the new "Export Summary to PDF" button. This uses the existing
PDF generator already built into the application suite.
- Compatibility Across All Apps
The AI Summary Agent works in all applications where users can
select or paste text. No additional configuration is required.
Future versions may include:
• Automatic summarization of notes/logs stored in the database
• App-specific summary sources via a configuration file
- Notes for Administrators
• No schema changes were required for this update.
• No additional permissions need to be configured.
• Token pricing and descriptions remain managed in Stripe.
• The backend handles token authorization; the app handles text flow.
- Additional Bux fixes
• Additional minor updates to the user interface
• Additional security enhancements
