September 30, 2019 Major Release

Major Release

This is a major new release — several key areas of functionality have been upgraded, moved, and reorganized. New important functionality has been added.

Contacts

For this release, we have added a new top level "key technology" for management and manipulation of your organization's contacts.

Clicking on this new tile reveals three options:

Search

In this new functionality, you can easily and quickly search, sort, and inspect all customers that have interacted with Chatbox.

Lists

This functionality has been moved from the Automations tab. In addition, we've now introduced a new Customer Info pane to the right side bar. Click on any contact in a list to see and manipulate their tags, list membership, map membership, and data associated with their record.

Tag Manager

On the main screen, you can see and search through all tags.

Click on a tag and you'll be able to edit the tag text, color, and see all contacts associated with the contact. Note: to edit the color, you need to click the EDIT button in the upper right corner.

Channels

No significant changes.

Automations

Bulk Action Detail Pane

This pane now features the ability to click on a customer and see/manipulate their information (tags, lists, map membership, data).

Bulk Action Metrics Pane

We made some cosmetic improvements to the graphs and layout — adding a legend for various pie slices.

Integrations

Google Calendar

For this release, we're pleased to have built a native, first-class integration with Google Calendar. This integration will enable Chatbox to read and write from your Google Calendars. Instant Apps access this functionality. Please see your sales engineer if you'd like to explore utilizing this integration.
