Earlier, the job was marked as Success even when the input files were not removed from the remote SFTP server. (CLOUDCON-19863)

March 15, 2024AWS.png Azure.png

Resolved Issues

  • The Contact List field State Code (cd_state_code) is now extended to hold 3 characters. This extension allows to properly store names of Australian regions such as NSW (New South Wales) and QLD (Queensland) in this field.

January 11, 2024AWS.png Azure.png

  • For email campaigns of type Variable Template, CX Contact now assigns each email interaction to the correct message template, in strict accordance with the template selection expression. Previously in some rare cases, CX Contact could not determine which message template must be utilized for a particular email interaction and erroneously applied the default template. (CLOUDCON-18916)

  • For email campaigns, CX Contact now properly replaces all personalization variables in the content or subject of the message with the correct values for each email interaction. Previously, CX Contact could not properly determine the personalization variables, in case if one variable was a substring of another (for example, password and password2). As a result, variable password2 was replaced with a value from the password field with a static 2 added. (CLOUDCON-18871)

  • CX Contact can now properly detect and handle failed automation jobs caused by the CX Contact restart during the maintenance event. Previously, such jobs could stop responding in this scenario. (CLOUDCON-18907)

  • CX Contact now supports exporting Analytics Dashboards to PDF file and Analytics Dashboard Panels to PDF or CSV files for table-based panels using Automation Jobs with the action type Export Analytics Data. (CLOUDCON-13386)

Resolved Issues

  • When selecting Custom Time Period in CX Contact Analytics, the CX Contact Dashboard now correctly displays the data. Previously, in this scenario, CX Contact Dashboard did not show any entries. (CLOUDCON-13984)

  • When CX Contact runs suppression automation with the Append type "Append and Update" and uploads a list with 0 records, it no longer sets the number of suppression list records to 0. (CLOUDCON-13900)

  • Configuration for External Pre-dial Validation Rules has been corrected and now works as expected. Previously, external pre-dial validation was not working after an upgrade to the 9.0.026.03 version of CX Contact. (CLOUDCON-13886)

  • The CX Contact UI is improved by providing dynamic port allocation, enabling users to set Number of ports to 0 at the Campaign level.

Also, when users set Number of ports to 0 at the Campaign Template level, the Campaign Group did not inherit the 0 value from the template. (CLOUDCON-13830)

What's New

  • CX Contact now disables edit boxes in the UI for Stop and Help keyword responses if the alphanumeric Sender ID is configured for an SMS Campaign Group. (CLOUDCON-13371)

Resolved Issues

  • CX Contact now considers SMS Sender IDs and Email Domains as shared and displays them in the UI for active partitions. Previously, CX Contact did not consider SMS Sender IDs and Email Domains as shared in partitioned environments (not explicitly assigned to any partition) and they were not displayed in the UI, even if an active partition was selected. (CLOUDCON-13572)

  • The CX Contact UI displays an error message when input files are found to have unsupported encoding during the upload process. Now, if the input file does not have UTF-8 encoding, CX Contact completes the imported job with status FAILED and displays the following error message: Unsupported input file encoding. (CLOUDCON-13553)

  • When an API request is sent to cx-contact/v3/contact-lists/114/contacts-batch end-point to add a batch of records to a Contact List, CX Contact's internal object lock is now set correctly and no errors occur. Previously in this scenario, Error code 500 sometimes occurred, due to the internal lock expiring prematurely. (CLOUDCON-13533)

  • CX Contact now preserves and correctly sets the Suppression List expiration property when new suppression entries are uploaded into the Suppression List during automation. Previously in this scenario, CX Contact did not preserve the Suppression List expiration property and it was incorrectly set to Today. (CLOUDCON-13494)

  • In the List Details > Advanced view, CX Contact now correctly displays Contact Lists that are associated with labels defining Other21 and above fields. Previously, CX Contact displayed only details for the Other20 and below fields, regardless of the label associated with the Contact List. (CLOUDCON-13458)

    More info: CX Contact Help

  • Contact List fields Other19 and Other20 are now extended to support a maximum of 4096 characters. (CLOUDCON-12975)

    More info: Supported Operating Environment Reference Guide

Resolved Issues

  • Importing Contact Lists using Selection Rules with splitting (Split by Field) now works correctly, regardless of the Output Name Format being used. Previously, imports of this type worked correctly only if the %v format specification was used in the Output Name Format. (CLOUDCON-13408)

  • UI Modification: CX Contact now displays disabled Campaign Groups in red, with a specific icon and disallows operations over those Campaign Groups. (CLOUDCON-13342)

  • When importing Contact Lists, List Builder can now correctly detect the Contact time zone, based on the Contact zip code and country code. (CLOUDCON-13328)

  • API Modification: When Contact Lists are associated with labels that define the Other21 and above fields, CX Contact now correctly returns details for these user fields when executing the API request: GET /contact-lists/ {id} /contacts. Previously in this scenario, CX Contact incorrectly returned the details for only the Other20 and below fields, regardless of the label associated with Contact List. (CLOUDCON-13115)

  • Delivery options for Silence and Fax call results now display (if present) in CX Contact UI dialogs for Campaign Groups, Campaign Templates, and Dialing Profiles. (CLOUDCON-13088)

May 05, 2021AWS.png Azure.png

What's New

  • When Partitioning is enabled, Outbound Analytics dashboards now display data only for the active partition. (CLOUDCON-12565)

Resolved Issues

  • In environments for which Partitioning is enabled, the Campaign UI now displays one Campaign Group after the user changes the active partition. Previously, the Campaign UI may have displayed several Campaign Groups instead of one. (CLOUDCON-13071)

  • Campaign Groups for EMail and SMS media types are now created with the correct Destination DN, obtained from the Session Profile. Previously, such Campaign Groups for EMail and SMS media types, may have been created with no Destination DN. (CLOUDCON-13032)

  • CX Contact sometimes failed to preload contacts that were added via API requests due to a violation of the primary key in auxiliary pre-loading table. As a result, Outbound Contact Server was unable to retrieve or process contacts until the affected Campaign Group was stopped, unloaded, and restarted. This issue is now resolved. (CLOUDCON-13012)

May 03, 2021AWS.png Azure.png

What's New

  • The new partitioning functionality allows the split of outbound objects in a tenant to logical sections (partitions). Different departments can now store objects under different partitions, so that administrators can only operate with objects (for example, campaigns and contact lists) belonging to their department. See Partitions for details.   (CLOUDCON-3754)

  • CX Contact now supports optional preprocessing of the input file before the List import is executed.   (CLOUDCON-12140)
