Height & Width Settings for Mobile Views:  Adjust the height and width of images specifically for mobile views, giving you more control over how your visuals appear on smaller screens.

Multi-Select Support In Media Storage

You can now select multiple files at once using check marks or by dragging the mouse across items. This makes managing large numbers of files more efficient. Once files are selected, users can move, download, or delete the selected files in one go, saving time on repetitive actions.

Users can enter multi-select mode either by dragging to select or by using the “Select” option in the three-dot menu. The selected files will be marked with a checkmark at the top left corner. Multi-select move with drag shows the counter of how many files are selected to move as well as highlight for target folder when file(s) are dragged to move

How to Use:

Grid View: Click and drag the mouse across the files you wish to select, or use the “Select” option from the three-dot menu. Selected files will display a checkmark.

List View: Use the checkboxes next to each file to select multiple items.

Performing Bulk Actions: After selecting the files, you can move, download, or delete them in bulk by using the corresponding buttons.

 

WhatsApp

Support For Snippets Under Workflow Action

With this update, you can now create and use predefined message templates, called snippets, in your WhatsApp Workflow automations. This allows you to streamline responses, enhance efficiency, and maintain consistent communication with your customers.

No Meta Approval Required: Unlike WhatsApp Marketing and Utility Templates, which require Meta’s pre-approval, snippets do not need to be approved by Meta. This gives you full flexibility to create and change your messages on the fly. You can customize the entire text in a snippet, without worrying about the approval process that is necessary for templates where only the variables can be altered.

Send Unlimited Snippets Within the 24-Hour Customer Service Window: Once a customer sends a message, a service conversation is opened for 24 hours, during which you can send an unlimited number of snippets without incurring additional charges.

First 1,000 Service Conversations Free Each Month: Take full advantage of this feature, as the first 1,000 service conversations each month are free of cost, helping you save significantly while enhancing communication.

Send Snippets via Workflows:  Include WhatsApp message snippets in your automated workflows, allowing you to send predefined responses or promotional messages through the WhatsApp channel.

Predefined Templates for Quick Responses: Snippets enable you to create templates for frequently used messages, making it easier to send common replies, promotional content, or any routine communication quickly.

Customizable Snippets with Dynamic Content: Enhance your snippets by incorporating custom values or trigger links, ensuring that each message is personalized to the recipient.

Chat Widget

Display A Contact Form At The Start Of A Chat

The contact form in the live chat widget allows you to collect visitor data when a live chat agent is unavailable. If a user submits their contact details through the form, they can later be contacted via SMS or email.

After submitting the contact form, users will receive a message with customizable redirection text and an icon linked to a website. By clicking the icon, users will be redirected to the specified site, which opens in a new tab.

How to use:

Contact Form in Live Chat Widget

  1. Navigate to: Sites > Chat Widget
  2. Create a new chat widget and select Live Chat.
  3. In the Chat Window settings, enable the Contact Form option under Live Chat Assigned to collect visitor data. (Note: Keep this disabled if AI-powered conversation is enabled).

Redirection Link in SMS/Email & Live Chat Widgets

  2. Create a new chat widget and select Live Chat or SMS/Email.
  3. In the Title and Intro section of the Chat Window, you can customize the redirection text and add an icon with a URL. When users submit the contact form, they will receive this message, and clicking the icon will open a new tab with the specified website.

 

Login

Improved Login Experience

Some users were experiencing a problem where they became stuck on the login screen with the message “Redirecting to your account…”leading to an infinite loading loop.

Implemented a mechanism to detect when a device fails to establish a connection with Firebase, displaying a clear error message in the UI to inform users of the connection issue. Additionally, the system automatically redirects users back to the login screen upon failure, enabling them to retry without getting stuck.

 

Forms & Survey

Label Alignment Feature

Align form labels either horizontally (side-by-side with the input field) or vertically (above the input field) based on your design preference. This allows you to create more space-efficient or traditional layouts depending on the form’s complexity.

Labels and inputs automatically adjust alignment for optimal display on mobile devices. Horizontal alignments will stack to vertical alignment when needed on smaller screens, improving user experience.

How to use:

  1. Go to Form/Survey Builder
  2. Add fields of your choice
  3. Open Style & Option Setting, click on Label alignment of your choice (Left, Top, Right)
  4. Adjust Label width to add space between label and input box in case of Left and Right Alignment

 

Conversations

View And Filter Conversations By Followers

You can now filter conversations based on who is following them. Either by you or another user. Users with “assigned only data” access, can quickly view the chats they follow by selecting the filter “Followed by Me”.

In the Conversations right panel, you can now view the followers of a contact and also modify the followers directly.
We have also addressed a bug that previously prevented followers from viewing certain message types. This issue has been resolved, making the experience smoother and consistent.
