  Product release notes for the Kartra platform. They are NOT an API changelog —
  the developer API is unversioned and API-affecting changes are not called out
  as such. Only the recent window is captured here; the live collection is the
  source of truth.
entries:

api_relevant_history:
- version: 8.8.0
  date: '2025-06-03'
  note: >-
    Zapier integration change — "Search Lead" and "Create New Lead" were merged
    into a single find-or-create action. Notably the underlying API was NOT given
    the same upsert behaviour: search_lead and create_lead remain separate
    commands with no upsert, so the Zapier surface and the developer API diverge.
gaps:
- No dedicated API changelog; API-affecting changes are not distinguished from UI changes.
- No RSS/Atom/JSON feed for release notes — the collection is an Intercom help-centre page only.
- Entries carry internal ticket numbers (17469, 17475) that are not publicly resolvable.
