Dialogflow knowledgebase ID

Now you can update your Dialogflow knowledgebase IDs in kommunicate dashboard settings. This will speed up your integration with dialogflow.

Tag filter restriction

Now operators will only be able to select the existing tags and won’t be able to create the new tags.

Enter to send

Whenever the user clicks on the press to enter send checkbox in the typing area that setting will be saved in the browser’s local storage so the user won’t have to select again and again. This setting will be cleared once a logout happens.

Now the written message will be saved, even if you move to another tab. You can come back and continue where you have left the message.
