What's new
Changes to the Mentorly platform, most recent first.
August 2026

Security hardening across the platform
We remediated dependency vulnerabilities across every repository, enabled secret scanning and push protection, and narrowed the production database firewall so it accepts connections only from named addresses.
None of this changes how you use Mentorly. It reduces the surface available to an attacker.

Production can now fail over to a second region
After a platform failure at our cloud provider, we moved production to a second region and wrote that failover path into our infrastructure code.
It means recovery is a deliberate, rehearsed procedure rather than something improvised under pressure.

Connect your own Zoom account
Mentors can now connect a personal Zoom account, so sessions are created in your own meeting room rather than a shared one.
Connect it from your account settings, or go straight to
/connect-zoom. Help centre articles are available in English and French. - improvement
Why mentors appear in the order they do
The mentor directory now explains how it orders results, so program managers can see why the list looks the way it does rather than having to guess.

Mentorly Assistant
An in-app assistant, available once you are signed in. It searches the help centre, remembers the conversation, and hands you to a person when it cannot answer rather than leaving you at a dead end.
- feature
Public API reference
A public reference for our GraphQL API is now published at
/developers, for customers who want to integrate with Mentorly directly. - feature
NPS surveys
Net Promoter Score collection, with scheduled delivery and reporting, so program managers can track sentiment across a program over time.
- feature
Book a demo against live availability
Prospective customers can book a demo directly against real calendar availability, instead of exchanging emails to find a time.
- feature
Goal reminder emails
Goal reminder emails are now available.
They shipped in shadow mode first, which let us verify send behaviour against real data before any message reached a mentee's inbox.

Help centre articles for Slack and Segments
Help centre documentation for the Slack integration and for Segments, in English and French, including interactive Segments demos you can try inside the article.
