The holiday season is upon us, so we decided to gift wrap some cool features, performance improvements, and bug fixes and send it your way ? (Don’t forget to send us Christmas cards)
Let’s dive straight into Kommunicate’s release notes for the month of November.
Kommunicate Web
Chat Widget customization
You can now make the Kommunicate Chat Widget your own. You can change the theme color, choose from Kommunicate provided chat widget icons or even upload your own custom chat widget icon.
Better Notification for the Support Agents
Your agents will get desktop alerts for new messages even if the browser is in the background. This will help keep track of incoming messages even when they are switching to or using other apps in the desktop.
Performance Improvement in iPhone X Chat Widget
We have improved the Chat Widget in iPhone X and fixed a few layouts related issue. Now enjoy a seamless experience of Kommunicate Chat Widget in the latest iPhones as well.
Improvement in Bot-human Handoff
- Bots will stop replying once the conversation has been assigned to an agent even if the bot’s intents are triggered in the conversations.
- Agents will get the notification sound when the bot assigns the conversation to them.
Improvement in User Search
In the Users section, you can now effectively search the particular user by userId and email.
New in Fallback Emails
Fallback Emails now allow you to enable or disable the fallback email going to agents and end users for messages which are not read by the recipients
