Release 2.5: your CRM, connected

Some releases add a feature. This one opens the doors.

The platform opens up

Hive Centra 2.5 ships a public API, outbound webhooks, and a Zapier connection. Create an API key in Settings, point your other tools at it, and the platform starts talking to the rest of your world: new contacts flowing in from anywhere, events flowing out to anything.

I said from the start that your data is yours. An API is what that promise looks like as a feature: nothing about your business is locked in a box you cannot reach.

Recruiter joins the team

If you lead a team or run a brokerage, recruiting is a second pipeline you never have time to work. Recruiter is the eighteenth-plus-one member of the AI team: it sources agent recruits, nurtures them, and keeps that pipeline warm while you run your production.

Learn it all, right inside the app

Two learning surfaces went live together. The Help Center puts searchable how-to articles inside the platform. Hive Centra University goes much further: guided chapters from setup to mastery, a First 30 Days ramp, and coaching with Key, with completion verified against your real activity instead of watched videos.

And the rest

• Picture messaging: send and receive MMS photos in any conversation.
• Dial, the AI voice qualifier, graduates from preview and is live for everyone.
• Deal rooms track every party with a full timeline, with Closer chat inside the deal.
• The Power Dialer adds priority and sphere queues so the best calls come first.
• Blaze edits listing photos right in the content studio.
• Compass keeps your daily brief history and turns notes into tasks.

Month to month, and the founding rate is still available for a few more members. The platform keeps compounding; this month it learned to shake hands with everything else you use.
