Answers

Apple forms now available

Apple Messages for Business forms can now be added to Apple chatbots. A new type of form has been added to the Form building specific to Apple and can now be added to the customer journey in chatbots.

A new channel element will appear for Apple chatbots called Forms. From here you can select from your existing Apple forms which will automatically run inside the chat as soon as the user gets to that part of the conversation.

Simulator updates for AI chatbots

Additional information in the chatbot simulator if the intent was resolved:​

• origin text​
• tokenized text including typo correction​
• auto-correction applied: yes/no​
• recognized named entity + type​
• route to dialog

Email

India (Mumbai) SMTP settings

New basic client configuration settings for India (Mumbai) region are available for integration with the Infobip SMTP API.

For more information, see Integrate with SMTP API.

Content Handling

Image attachments in emails are now handled in a different way. Previously, images smaller than 500KB were embedded in the email body and rendered in the recipient's inbox. To ensure that emails were not sent with large attachments, images of more than 500 MB would be stored on an external link and need to be downloaded.

In this release, all images, regardless of size, are hosted on an external link and can be downloaded when the email is opened. Putting all images on external links decreases email size in general, improves delivery, and reduces issues with bandwidth consumption.

In addition, View email in browser content is now stored for up to a maximum of 30 days.

For more information, see Limitations for Emails. 

Send API V3

A new version of the Send Email public API is available that increases the number of requests received per second. This now improves the speed at which the backend processes the message content and delivers the message.

See Send fully featured email for more information about the Send Email API.

Product Recommendations (Product Recos Widget)

A new widget has been added to the Email Editor as part of the AI Recommendations Early Access feature. The Product Recos widget gives you a new layout for your message design so that you can select from your product catalogs to offer items to the most relevant customers. Recommendations are generated at the time that the email is opened, and these targeted offers might result in increased conversion and lead to new purchases.

AI Recommendations is in the Early Access stage. The pilot program starts on 1 July 2022.

Conversations

Integration with CDP (Leads/Customer)

We have introduced more types of audience profiles so agents can determine the type of user that is getting in touch with your brand – whether it is a lead or a customer. All inbound conversations will be associated with profiling according to the data collected by CDP (Customer Data Platform).

Mobile app 

Context Card fully supported in the Conversations mobile app

Prior to this moment, the Conversations mobile app supported only Setup, Conversation, and Customer Context cards.

In effect with the Jade release, the mobile app now supports all context cards that are available in the web interface, native or custom, further improving the agents' ability to manage conversations when away from their desk.

Calls

Recording UX improvements

We are bringing an improved UX and UI for recordings. Instead of multiple clicks where agents or supervisors needed to go to the Analyze module, then the Recordings tab, and search for a specific recording file, now this is available inside the Conversations panel. Agents can play the recordings directly from the conversations history, making it a smoother and less arduous process of finding a specific recording. 

Additionally, all participants in a conversation will have their recording legs, making it a granular process of finding, downloading, and deleting recordings.

Apple forms

Essential for gathering more data and for lead generation, forms make for a more personal experience and allow both parties for a quicker issue resolution. Agents can now send Apple forms to the customer. Once the agent sends the form and the customer fills it out, it is automatically populated in the Content > Forms module and the data in the CDP (Customer Data Platform).

Mobile Identity

SIM Swap Detection via Web Interface

You can now use SIM Swap Detection in the web interface to perform SIM Swap checks without using API or development resources. Upload a file with phone numbers you want to check and once it is executed, you are able to download it. 

Apple Messages for Business

Form Message Type is now Available

Create multipage, interactive forms within a single message to collect information from end users. Example: triage flows, CSAT survey, and account creation. End users can complete the form without leaving the Messages app.

Telegram

Self-service

You can now use the self-service functionality on the Infobip web interface to set up Telegram as a communication channel over Infobip solutions.

WhatsApp

Updated Template Management

You can now do the following through the API:

• Upload media samples when registering templates
• Delete templates

The API now supports creation of the following new template types:

• MARKETING
• TRANSACTIONAL
• OTP

People

Manage Company Profile

Use the People API to manage companies. Perform basic CRUD operations, including batch operations. Use dedicated endpoints to assign or remove profiles from companies.

Integrate People Web SDK Using Google Tag Manager

If you have Google Tag Manager integrated in your website, you can easily add the People Web SDK without modifying the website code. You can manage the SDK along with your other tracking tags through a single interface.

AI Recommendations

New Component to Send Personalized Product Recommendations

Use the AI Recommendations component to send dynamic, personalized product recommendations to end users based on their interactions with your products on your brand website, mobile app, and other services. Unlike static recommendations that are generated at the time the message is sent, AI recommendations are generated at the time the end user opens the message. So, each time the end user opens the message, the recommendations change based on the end user's interaction with your products.

The Early Access program starts from 1 July 2022.

Forms

Introducing Apple Messages for Business Forms

We have further extended forms functionality to include a new form type, Apple Messages for Business Forms.

Send and receive messages over this platform while leveraging popular Apple Messages for Business functionality like marking messages as private, seeing a summary of responses before submitting the form and adding conditional fields so you can branch responses depending on how the customer interacts with your form.
