Conversations

Conversations API

Adding the Call button in Messenger by Facebook

With the KOBE release, we're introducing a new button type supported over Conversations API. The Call button gives you the possibility to share your business phone number directly and simplifies the customer experience and allows customers to call you via Messenger by Facebook.

Live Chat

Adding the possibility to share events to Google Analytics

For all data enthusiasts and managers - more analytics! We are opening the possibility to share basic events from Live Chat to your Google Analytics account so you can better trace the whole customer journey.

You can share the following events from Live Chat:

  • Widget opened/widget closed
  • Eye catcher engaged/dismissed
  • Conversation open/conversation closed/conversation solved

Knowledge Base

More improvements in the Knowledge Base! See below for more details.

Suggested content improvements

While in a conversation with a customer, agents will get a hint about the number of suggested articles within the agent panel. This way, we're aiming to show more suggested content and help out agents resolve issues faster and more easily.

This option will be visible to the agents when they send replies but will disappear until the customer replies back.

Additionally, Knowledge Base Managers are able to turn this feature on or off.

Article version history

The article version history feature offers the Knowledge Base Managers an overview of significant changes done for every article, as well as restoring the article(s).

They can see the date and time when the change(s) happened, who changed what, and more:

  • Status change (draft/published, public/internal)
  • Content change including attachment changes
  • Tags, category, or folder changes

Answers

Live Chat now Supports Carousels

In Live Chat, you can now send multiple rich cards in a single message by using carousels. Customers can use horizontal scroll to view the rich cards, compare the items, and take action for individual rich cards.

Call Action is Available for Buttons in Facebook Messenger

When you create a chatbot for Facebook Messenger, you can share your business phone number with end users by using the call action in buttons. Example: button element, buttons in rich cards and carousels. When end users click the button, the phone number is dialed.

Unique session ID is Available in Analytics

In the analytics, you can now obtain the unique ID for a session. This ID is independent of the end user. Example: if an end user initiates two chat sessions with a bot, two unique IDs are generated, one for each session.

Mobile App Messaging

Inbox for Mobile App Messaging

Inbox for Mobile App Messaging is a pre-built inboxsolution that allows you to communicate with all active mobile users without fear of poor push performance or users not paying attention to their push notifications. Inbox enables users to navigate back to push message content that they receive and interact with it at a time that suits them.

To ensure that the user experience is always seamless, you can also organize messages into topicsso your users can easily keep track of the messages that matter most to them.

Email
