LaraContact is a production-ready CRM that turns a contact list into a real communication hub. Built with a modern UI, it ships with two-way SMS and WhatsApp via Twilio, an in-browser dialer for voice, a queued bulk-email composer with open tracking, and a Sanctum-powered REST API.

Powered by Anthropic Claude, AI features paste-extract contact details from email signatures, auto-suggest tags from a contact’s notes, fix spelling on messages, and translate replies into nine languages — and every AI feature has a fake-mode fallback so the app works without API keys for demos.

Teams get shared workspaces with role-based invitations, a full audit log, real-time inbound message notifications and a built-in installer for one-click deployment.

What’s Included ?

Contacts & Organization

Rich contact records with custom fields, lifecycle stages, social handles
Free-form tags and one-of-many groups with color coding

Communication, unified

Two-way SMS & WhatsApp via Twilio (with signature-validated inbound webhook)
Click-to-call browser dialer
Queued email composer with open-tracking pixel
Bulk send to any selection of contacts — Email, SMS, or WhatsApp — with mail-merge tokens ({{first_name}}, {{company}}, …), rate-limited job queue, and a live progress page
Reusable bulk-send templates — save the message you keep typing and click to reload it
Every conversation, call, email, and bulk send lives on the contact’s timeline

Security & data ownership

AI assistance everywhere
