Participate in conversations

Introducing "Conversation Participants". This new tab on your conversation dashboard lets you to easily add yourself or fellow agents as participants to a conversation. So, everyone involved in a conversation can track its progress and receive notifications on any updates.

To use this feature, expand the Conversation Participants tab and select the desired participants. Once added, they will be able to access the conversation and receive notifications on any changes.

Personalize your Canned Responses

Your templated messages can now be personalized too––with template variables. This helps you dynamically populate information such as customer names, order numbers, and more when you send a canned response. To use template variables in your canned responses, simply add them to your message using the format {{variable_name}}.

For example, to include the customer's name in your greeting canned response, create this message: "Hi {{customer_name}}, welcome to ABC Inc. support. How may I assist you?" Now, whenever you use this canned repsonse in a conversation, it'll automatically populate the message with the customer's name!
