Updated on June 23, 2022
In the month of September, we have added some cool features and updated the existing ones to improve your overall experience with Kommunicate.
If you have missed the previous episode, please head here.
Web App
Domain Restriction
To improve the security, we have added URL based domain restriction, where you can allow the installation script to work only on the allowed list of domains you have added.
To allow domains:
- Go to Dashboard >> Click ⚙️ Settings >> CHAT WIDGET >> Configuration >> Add domain restriction list
Entities in Kompose
Entities are used for identifying and extracting useful data from user inputs. Now, your Kompose bots support to extract your users entities like email, phone number.
To add the entities:
”Not yet started” count in Analytics
We have added an entry to count the conversations that are “Not yet started“ in the dashboard, which means the conversations where the user has opened the chat widget but is yet to type a message.
- Go to Dashboard >> Click ‘Dashboard’ section >> Under ‘Teammates’ section
Welcome Screen on Facebook option
Now we have included the ‘Get Started’ button option on Facebook Messenger integration in the dashboard. Facebook messenger welcome screen shows a ‘Get Started’ button if this option is enabled.
If your visitor taps on the ‘Get Started’ button, the message ‘Get Started’ will be posted into the conversation, and your chatbot is then granted permission to send messages.
- Go to Dashboard >> Integrations >> Click ‘Facebook settings’ >> Check ‘GET STARTED BUTTON’ box
Example – ‘Get Started’ button on Facebook Messenger
Help and Resources
We have added an option ‘Help and Resources’ on our dashboard which shows all the guides, tutorials, technical documentation, product updates, etc. for using our product easier.
- Go to Dashboard >> At the left sidebar – Click ‘Help and Resources’ option
Onboarding UI improvements
We improved the onboarding page UI and the process to educate the new users about the functions, the steps, and the common actions that need to be followed for a smooth, easy installation and integration of our product.
Other Updates:
- Improved the first response time calculation, now the first response time is calculated after the time it takes an agent to reply once the bot handover the conversation to them
- We have done some improvements on the dashboard load time
Bugs
- Fixed a small bug related to saving FAQs from the dashboard
- A small improvement in the behavior of the help center test URL

Along with the Team/Department feature, the queue feature is also coming where your users/customers will be added to the waiting queue if all the agents are offline.
That’s all for now folks. Watch out this space for more updates.
