Digital Channels: October 11, 2023

What's New

• Digital Channels now supports updating user data of a chat session and active interaction (if any) during a re-join action to an asynchronous chat session. To enable this feature, change the value of the option updateUserDataOnSessionReJoin in chat section of the Digital Channels Administrator. Previously, Digital Channels did not allow changes to the parameters of a chat session, including user data, endpoint, and stream, when re-joining an asynchronous chat session (via POST request to /nexus/v3/chat/sessions with x-nexus-client-key provided). (NEXUS-11230)

• Dependent libraries have been updated to remediate security findings. (NEXUS-11020)

• The Digital Channels Admin site is available on each customer’s Engage Cloud Portal page starting as early as Oct 1, 2023. Digital Channels Administrators have full access to the admin settings for Digital Channels, which includes the ability to manage Standard Responses, PII, Field Codes, Custom Variables, API Keys, Tenant Settings, and SMS keywords. (NEXUS-10714)
  More info: About Digital Channels Admin

Resolved Issues

• The correct error message is now returned when Digital Channels sends an unknown bot name to the bot API. (NEXUS-11212)

• Digital Channels now responds with a phone number in international format when customers send an SMS unrelated to an outbound campaign. (NEXUS-10941)

• Previously, when the database server went offline during runtime, the bot APIs for voice and chat stopped working. This issue is now fixed in Azure tenants. (NEXUS-10363)

Digital Channels: September 06, 2023

Resolved Issues

• Previously, when the database server went offline during runtime, the bot APIs for voice and chat stopped working. This issue is now fixed. (NEXUS-10363)

AI Connector: August 02, 2023

• Private Edition: 100.0.149.9341 available August 17, 2023
• Helm charts and containers

Resolved Issues

• This is an update for compatibility and performance improvements.

Digital Channels: August 02, 2023

• Private Edition: 100.0.149.9341 available August 17, 2023
• Helm charts and containers

What's New

• Digital Channels now reports the exact error that occurred in CX Contact to better inform users on the issue. (NEXUS-10990)

• This release includes observability and resiliency improvements. (NEXUS-11004, NEXUS-10843, NEXUS-10559)

Resolved Issues

• In some cases, the Digital Channels Social Hub Connector was unable to read the list of contact centers and configured channels for each tenant, which prevented incoming and outgoing messages from Facebook and Twitter. This issue has now been fixed. (NEXUS-11065)

Digital Channels: June 14, 2023

• Private Edition: 100.0.147.8795 available June 16, 2023
• Helm charts and containers

What's New

• Digital Channels now enables the ability to define the customer’s time zone for the session and records it properly in the chat transcript in UCS.  The time zone can be defined at the tenant level via the timezone option in the chat section or by attaching the user data key nexus_timezone at the session creation. Time is specified in minutes from the GMT+0 time zone (for example, GMT+2 will be specified by the value 120 and GMT-5 is represented by the value -300). A future enhancement will leverage this capability when emailing chat transcripts using Multicloud CX Email. (NEXUS-10837)

Resolved Issues

• Memory usage by Digital Channels is decreased to improve performance.  Previously, Digital Channels Core was accumulating memory over runtime but did not properly release certain objects related to chat sessions, causing the memory to increase over time. (NEXUS-10713)

• Simple Notifications are now correctly delivered to consumers on the WhatsApp channel.  Previously, when an agent tried to send a Simple Notification, an error message was displayed. (NEXUS-10239)

AI Connector: May 10, 2023

• Private Edition: 100.0.145.8466 available May 23, 2023
• Helm charts and containers

Resolved Issues

• This is an update for compatibility and performance improvement.

Digital Channels: May 10, 2023

• Private Edition: 100.0.145.8466 available May 23, 2023
• Helm charts and containers

What's New

• Security, observability, and resiliency improvements. (NEXUS-9624, NEXUS-10472)

Resolved Issues

• Previously, in some Digital Channels sessions, the agent could not resume the conversation in the session after a significant pause in communication (for example, more than 3 days) due to an internal issue. This issue is now fixed, and the agent can now resume communication in such sessions until the session is expired due to inactivity timeout. This fix applies to new sessions only. (NEXUS-10785, NEXUS-10310)

• Previously, in some chat sessions, agents could not upload and send JPEG attachments. This issue is now fixed. (NEXUS-10779)

• Status check marks indicating that a message is sent, delivered, and read is now shown for messages sent by a chatbot. Previously, these check marks were only visible for messages sent by agents. (NEXUS-10748)

• In some cases, an agent who had already unsubscribed from a contact was receiving both the Show/Dismiss pop-up toast notification and the Accept/Reject pop-up toast notification upon an incoming Twitter or Facebook interaction, as if they were still subscribed. This issue is now fixed. (NEXUS-10707)

• If a chat session is created with only a nickname provided, the session uses the nickname as the contact’s first name. Previously, the nickname was not sent to the agent desktop, so the agent desktop was displaying the contact ID (a string of characters) instead of the contact’s name. (NEXUS-10667)

• Previously, the connection between Digital Channels and the agent desktop could stop working if the network gets disconnected after an agent login or during chat, due to an issue in the network connection retry logic. This issue is now fixed as the retry logic functions properly. (NEXUS-9851)

• Previously, if an agent unsubscribed from a contact after a Twitter or Facebook public interaction, and then received a new interaction from the same contact, the agent was not subscribed to the contact again. This issue is now fixed, and the agent is now subscribed to the contact after accepting an interaction when subscriptions are enabled. (NEXUS-8693)

Digital Channels: April 19, 2023

• Private Edition: 100.0.143.8169 available April 19, 2023
• Helm charts and containers

What's New

• When an agent hovers over the status checkmark next to a message, the tooltip text will now display the time of delivery receipt and/or read receipt. Note: Delivery receipts are only available for WhatsApp and SMS channels, while read receipts are only available for the WhatsApp channel. (NEXUS-10702)

• During an SMS interaction, agents can now hover over the character counter to display a tooltip explaining how the counter works. (NEXUS-10622)

• In Digital Channels, when a message fails to send, agents can now hover over the error message to view more details on the reason for failure. (NEXUS-10534)

Resolved Issues

• For WhatsApp interactions, the read receipt checkmark indicator is now displayed in blue, distinguishing it from the delivery checkmark, which remains gray. Previously, both the read checkmark and the delivery checkmark were gray, making them indistinguishable. (NEXUS-10698)

• The active interaction indicator will no longer be displayed next to the contact name in the Communication tab when the interaction is not active. Previously, if an agent unsubscribed from a contact during an interaction, completed the interaction, and searched for the same contact again, the active interaction indicator would still be displayed next to the contact name. This caused the creation of an outbound interaction to fail. (NEXUS-10678)

• The URL verification button under the chat conversation window is now disabled when there is no URL entered in the chat input field. Previously, the button was clickable and opened a blank window. (NEXUS-10677)

• CX Contact users are now able to send test SMS messages.  Previously, the “Send Test SMS” button would not work in certain cases because the message ID was undefined. (NEXUS-10676)

• Previously, when agents used the latest version of the Advanced Chat UI and the option privilege.chat-nexus.communication.can-send was set to false, they were able to send messages. This issue has been fixed.

  If the option is set to false, the message send bar will only be hidden from the agent. To allow agents to send chat messages, this option should be set to true. (NEXUS-10654)

• The markdown editor button no longer disappears when an agent switches from a Chat interaction to an SMS interaction and then back to Chat. (NEXUS-10652)

• If a chat session is started without any contact attributes, an empty contact is created with a unique contact ID and associated with the chat session, ensuring that the chat session is properly tracked and managed.  Previously, contact creation was skipped when no contact attributes were provided to create or find a contact.  This caused issues with how Digital Channels handled that interaction.

  It is still recommended that customers require their end consumers to provide some contact information when starting a chat session.  It is not possible to re-associate the chat session with a different contact, although agents can edit created contacts if they have the required permissions. (NEXUS-10637)

• Videos sent by customers through the Facebook Messenger channel are now displayed properly on the agent desktop. (NEXUS-10585)

• Agents previously encountered an issue where they would unsubscribe from a contact, but still receive notifications as if they were subscribed, and the contact would reappear in the Communication tab after logging out and logging back in. This issue has now been fixed. (NEXUS-9813)

• Previously, agents were automatically subscribed to a contact when they accepted a consultation chat from another agent. This behavior has been changed so that agents are no longer subscribed to the contact during a consultation chat. Only the agent who is directly handling the interaction with the consumer will be subscribed to the contact if subscriptions are enabled. (NEXUS-8097)

AI Connector: April 19, 2023

• Private Edition: 100.0.143.8169 available April 19, 2023

• Helm charts and containers

What's New

• A new interaction data key has been introduced in Digital Channels which can force or disable contact subscription for agents. Customers can set the nexus_subscribe_on_accept user data key to true to force agent subscription to a contact or set it to false to prevent agent subscription to a contact. (NEXUS-10580)

Resolved Issues

• In some cases, the Digital Channels Social Hub Connector was unable to refresh the social configuration settings after a timeout period, which prevented incoming and outgoing messages from Facebook and Twitter. This issue has now been fixed. (NEXUS-10502)

Digital Channels: February 15, 2023

• Private Edition: 100.0.139.7721 available February 15, 2023
• Helm charts and containers

What's New

• Administrators can now configure whether agents are automatically subscribed to contacts for specific digital channels. Using the option disableSubscription in the chat section in the Digital Channels tenant options, Administrators can disable the contact subscription for specific sub-media types: InboundNew, SMS, WhatsApp, FacebookPrivate, FacebookPublic, TwitterPrivate, or TwitterPublic. (NEXUS-9693)

Resolved Issues

• Digital Channels now correctly handles connections and disconnections from CX Contact. Previously, when handling events for outbound campaigns through CX Contact, Digital Channels occasionally sent events to a closed connection that caused them to be lost. (NEXUS-10567)

AI Connector: February 15, 2023

• Private Edition: 100.0.139.7721 available February 15, 2023

• Customers can now specify which rich media types are allowed as an option in the Digital Channels tenant settings. (NEXUS-10201)

• Agents can now update the contact information for a contact and use that updated information to switch channels and communicate with the contact over that channel. (NEXUS-9614)

Resolved Issues

• When a chat session expires and Digital Channels cannot retrieve the message history, the agent desktop will now show a message that says: “Unable to get messaging history. Session might be expired. Consider using Interaction History search function to find previous interactions.” (NEXUS-10365)

• The Digital Resources section in Designer for Standard Responses, Field Codes, and PII Management now uses the privileges provided by the server to configure visibility. Previously, the UI was not honoring the Designer.Business.General.canUpdate role. (NEXUS-10338)

• When inserting a standard response into a chat message, the standard response content will not erase any previously typed text. (NEXUS-10330)

Digital Channels: December 07, 2022

• Private Edition: 100.0.133.6847 available December 07, 2023
• Helm charts and containers

What's New

• Digital Channels now allows customers to set a specific list of SMS opt-in and opt-out keywords at their tenant level. (NEXUS-10092)

• Digital Channels is now able to accept a webhook from SparkPost with multiple email messages and receipts in one request. Previously, just the first message or receipt was accepted and processed, while all others were ignored. (NEXUS-10288)

Resolved Issues

• A proper error message is now displayed when an agent or supervisor attempts to hide or delete a Facebook comment and the process fails. (NEXUS-10323)

• In Designer, the Digital Resources section for Standard Responses, Field Codes, and PII Manager now displays properly. Previously, Designer Business Users were unable to access the section. (NEXUS-9579)

• Designer now properly handles bot interactions when re-joining a conversation. Previously, the Designer application might terminate the current bot interaction when re-joining a chat session. (NEXUS-9968)

• Digital Channels added validation for SparkPost webhooks for outbound email, so it is now configured with proper authentication. (NEXUS-10289)

• Digital Channels Administration now shows the proper username when the user is logged in but does not have their first and last names set. (NEXUS-10004)

• The Conversation tab now displays a generic informational message when an agent is checking their voicemail.  Previously, there was an error message indicating something was wrong. (NEXUS-10199)

What's New

• Digital Channels now supports multiple connections for outbound email interactions in a single tenant: built-in connector to SparkPost email provider, a custom gateway built with a third-party email API and/or a built-in connector to Genesys Cloud CX aggregation service.

Digital Channels: September 08, 2022

Resolved Issues

• Digital Channels now masks the PII (Personal Identifiable Information) data in typing notifications in chat transcripts. Previously, the PII was partially masked. Digital Channels now provides an option to apply the privacy rules scope of HISTORY to the chat transcript returned to the Designer. The tenant configuration option is accessible at privacy/consumerAPIScope with values such as NONE, HISTORY (default), and AGENT and allows you to modify the scope of the privacy rules that are applied. PII data may also be exposed in Typing Events and Typing Preview displayed to the agent. Digital Channels now supports the following new tenant options to control this:

  • privacy/storeTypingEventsInUCS to prevent Digital Channels to store TypingStarted/TypingStopped events into the UCS transaction history. The default option is true. To avoid storing the TypingStarted/TypingStopped events, set the option as false.
  • privacy/disableTypingPreview to disable typing preview functionality for a chat. When disabled, Digital Channels ignores the typing preview text and does not show it to an agent or store it in the chat transcript. By default, the typing preview is enabled. (NEXUS-9824)

• Digital Channels now provides an option to apply the privacy rules scope of HISTORY for the data returned to the SpeechMiner. The tenant configuration option is accessible at privacy/historyAPIScope with values such as NONE, HISTORY (default), and AGENT and allows you to modify the scope of the privacy rules that are applied. (NEXUS-9825)

Resolved Issues

• Attachments in Twitter and Facebook messages are now downloaded with the complete file names and extensions. Previously, the file names contained caption text and had no extension. (NEXUS-8349)

• Agents can now click an image in a chat interaction to expand it. Previously, when the agent had multiple interactions, the images were not expanded. (NEXUS-9484)

Known Issues

• When a user creates a Standard Response with Rich Media templates in the Standard Responses management section of Designer, the field code values from the Insert Field Code menu do not get copied to the clipboard.
  
  Workaround: Create a new Standard Response of type Text/html response and insert the required field code values into the plain text part, and save it. To add field code values to your Standard Response with Rich Media template, copy the values from the plain text part and paste them where they are needed.
  Alternatively, use the Digital Channels Admin UI to get Standard Responses. There, the issue does not exist. (NEXUS-9724)
