Updates + Releases

Selective publishing allows you to make changes to your FAQ Bot's knowledge base, and then choose which questions/changes to publish – it’s no longer an all-or-nothing situation.

When enabled, live chat is immediately accepted on the candidate side once an agent accepts the chat. Available on web channel only.

Changes to the way analytics data is computed, for faster loading of your bot's analytics dashboards ⚡️

FAQ Pages turn any FAQ Bot knowledge base into a searchable, browsable help site. Here's an example.

Without any extra work on your part, give your customers two possible ways to find answers to their questions:

1. Ask your FAQ Bot a question
2. Ask a question or browse questions by topic on your FAQ Pages

This release also includes a change that allows you to edit categories in your knowledge base.

Whenever one of your customers sends a contact request through your FAQ Bot, we include a link to the entire conversation history in the FAQ Bot portal.

We've also added access to conversation history to the read-only role, and updated the styling of our callouts.

This release includes some changes to the FAQ Bot web chat widget to further minimise the impact of your bot on page load time.

Conversation history - view an entire conversation in the portal, linked to knowledge base insights

Conversation score over time - see how your conversation score is tracking 📈 in FAQ Bot analytics

Easy styling - change your bot’s avatar, position on the page and colour scheme directly within the FAQ Bot portal - no code or developers required.

Customised callouts - powered by engagements, you can now customise callouts to promote content, promotions and events, highlight your bot and invite interaction.

Highlights of this release include:

• User management now available in the portal
• Live chat improvements - new "pending chat" state and form entries now visible in the live chat history
• Improved language handling and support for te reo Māori (machine translation only)
• New engagement cues - check out the full details of all the ways you can now trigger engagements on our Engagements page.

A new scheduling feature allows you to apply one or more schedules to your engagements. This allows you to receive live chat requests only during working hours, for example.

Live Chat inbox is optimised for mobile - so you can view and respond to live chat requests and messages on the go, on your mobile device.

Log in persists for a day now - you won't need to log in again every time you return to the FAQ Bot portal.

And all live chat configuration options are now consolidated on a single screen.

Highlights of this release include:

• Conversation persistence on the web - so if you navigate to a different page, the chat remains
• Editable questions and chit-chat answers in the knowledge base
• Browser title notifications for Live Chat
• Email notifications for Live Chat
