Visitor Chat

We have added an alt-tag to the agent avatar image to improve accessibility and ADA compliance of the visitor chat.

Contacts and Integrations / Custom Mapping:

* Chat agents can now save the visitors name with the “/name = Jon Doe” command in Hub without requiring an email. Previously the email was required to create and save a contact in SnapEngage.

*  The visitors phone number captured automatically captured from the call-me feature is now available in the SnapEngage Phone number field and in the case logs under the visitor phone number field. It is no longer automatically stored as a Label.

Logs Page

* We have updated the Logs page to show the visitor browser and platform information as icons in a single column instead of two. The detailed information is still available on hover and in the CSV exports.

Resolved Issues

* Fixed an issue where the Guide Bot did not assign the configured Label in the first step, when this was configured as a proactive chat prompt.

* Hub navigation slowness/performance issues: We have fixed an issue where chats transferred from a guide bot or approval checker caused some slowness in Hub when opening the chat. If you still experience performance issues with Hub please let us know!

* SSO / Okta: Fixed an issue where the Single Sign On option did not work when exclusive login was enabled

* Fixed an issue where the wrong agent alias appeared in the Logs after a reassignment.

* Autotranslate: Fixed an issue where conversations in the Recent Chats section were not displayed with translations

* Continuous Conversations: Fixed an issue where the continuous conversation system message did not show to the agent after a transfer.

* Proactive Chat: Fixed an issue where the rule did not trigger when accessing a single page app URL after navigating there.
