This allows Partners to provide a Single Sign-On feature for their clients in case they want to provide the same type of login to users of their platforms and UChat at the same time. No more separate logins for this.
Full documentation on this can be found here: https://uchat-com-au.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UKB/pages/758939741/White+label+Single+Sign-On+with+JWT?fbclid=IwAR1K71fdbmoI5UjftedAU02l9IdBtcPR7XsiB8CJBm_j7gKjntlbxBSAU34
The supervisor role now also sees the bot users along with having access to the analytics section. this provides a more management role for this specific type of workspace member
This is the update only available to UChat partners.

A new feature inside chatbot settings has been added to input your own custom url.
This will allow you to directly access for example your own crm inside of livechat to update data inside. Great for live chat agents to manage a crm not integrated into UChat.

Support of Sendgrid Category in email and notifications
We have added the ability to add the category of the type of email sent if you select your Sendgrid account using the email node as well as the email notification .
Sometimes the return payload on GHL actions contain too many characters to be saved properly so we now added the ability to remove certain keys you do not need to only be left with the information you like to store
Making function flows editable on templates even on none editable templates
We have added the ability to allow users to edit the function flows from templates when user disabled auto update or even when the template is set to none editable.
this is used to allow the installed bot to modify some contents, such as whatsapp template message. So the template creator can move all the whatsapp template messages to function flow to allow user change it after install. and all other subflows can still be protected and auto updated. But if the sub flow template is not viewable, then even the user disabled the auto update feature from function flow, it will still be not viewable.
the assistant often refers citations where it based its replies on which makes for a weird experience inside of chatbots. We have added a citation removal to automatically remove any if they are present in the assistant reply

We have added more control on the number of features you want to include into your pricing plans . We have added the my contents sections, boards, contents- custom events, tools- multiple languages, tools- custom reports and tools -inbound webhooks as additional features to include or exclude from your pricing plans
Partners requested the ability to hide the bot, members and bot users from the pricing plans as they create separate plans inside of their own billing software like Stripe.
Notify user when WhatsApp Cloud token is about to expire
We have added a new feature where you will be notified 5 days in advanced when a WhatsApp cloud token is about to expire. We will send you an email to give you enough time to act and prevent any disruptions in your chatbot automations
This new update allows you to check where your specific actions are used inside your flows. We have implemented this check for custom event, menu, otn topic, persona, sequence
Previously we sent the export file of bot users by email. Because some users reported the email took very long or did not receive it at all we have now added an additional section under the tool section in your chatbot menu. .
After pressing the all export button on the bot users overview you will automatically get redirected to this section to download your file.
Keep in mind that any generated file will be saved for a total of 7 days, so make sure you have downloaded it before that time

if confidence_score < min_score, then it will not process the content. if the fallback_to is set, then it will process fallback_to (similar to goto, can use node_ns, sub_flow_ns, or node name), otherwise, do nothing
Line Channel: use replyToken for the first message sent
This is an update about the Line channel.
Thanks to the suggestion from Winho!!
Before the update, we were using "push" to send all the message. Winho mentioned that this can cost their "push message" quota and suggested we can send message by using the replyToken, which means that, using "reply" instead of "push". This can save a lot consumption of "push message" to their Line account.
Now the system will use the replyToken to send the first message. For example, a user sends "hi". If you have 2 messages to respond to this greeting. The first one will be sent using "reply" and the second one (all the rest) using "push".
This can somehow save your "push" messages amount in your Line account.
Partner Plan: show only selected templates & mini-apps in custom domain
This is an update about Agency Settings for Partner Plan subscribers with credit billing enabled.

WhatsApp Notification:
Select a sender from the "From Phone Number" list. A valid sender must have a WhatsApp bot connected to it in the same workspace.

You can search a receiver in the Telegram bot by their Telegram User Id, User Ns, Email or Phone Number.
Manage One-time Link for Templates (both in workspace & via API)
This is an update about Templates - One-time Link.
Before the update, the one-time link for a template is actually the same as a permanent shared link. The difference is the template turns from "shared" to "private" after one installation.
Now you can manage different one-time links for each sharing and you are able to track the status of the installation. Available status: "Available", "Installed" and "Expired".
You can manage your one-time link either: - manually in your workspace or - automatically via APIs
For manual management, on your dashboard, go "My Contents" - "My Bot Templates", select a template and the drop-down menu will show like this:
Click on 4 in the above screenshot to get the "Template Ns", the id of this template for API usage. Click on 5 in the above screenshot to generate a one-time link for this template:
Edit expiration duration and click "Generate New Link". This link will be added to the list and the status will be "Available" in the beginning. When the link is used and the template is installed, the status changes to "Installed". If the template is not installed within the duration, the status goes to "Expired".
Wherever you need to display a media, a "Select Media" window will show.
Under the "Upload Your File" tag, you can select media from your computer and all those uploaded media go to the "Library" tag. So that from now on you can pick the media in the library instead of uploading it again.
UChat just add a new feature to allow you to delete media in the library. Simply hover over the media and a red delete button will show, click on the button to remove this media from the library.
Switch Bot/Flow Feature available in All channels now!
Yesterday we added a new feature about switching bot/flow between different phone numbers in WhatsApp, SMS and Voice.
The feature is now available for all channels! But there is a difference to mention:
WhatsApp, SMS and Voice channel are using users' phone numbers for user_id (user identification), so there is no conflict when you switch a bunch of users from an old number to another phone number.
However, channels like Facebook are using user_id to identify users and each user_id is unique only under this page, it's not unique in the whole Facebook. If the user is switched from one Facebook page to another Facebook page carrying the old page user_id, conflicts might appear.
Therefore, all bot users will be removed to avoid conflicts.
UNLINK:
when you unlink a bot (not in WhatsApp, SMS or Voice), your bot users are kept in the flow.
LINK:
when you link a bot (not in WhatsApp, SMS or Voice), all bot users in the flow are removed.
Switch Bot/Flow between Phone Numbers (WhatsApp, SMS & Voice)
Before the update, if you need to move a flow from no/one number to another, you will need to publish the old flow to be a template then install it to the new numbers. In that way, bot users in the old flow are not moved to the new number. Only the flow is moved.
Now you can easily switch flow between numbers, all bot users are moved together with the flow and settings.
Simply, click on the unlink button to disconnect the flow with the number and click on link button, then choose a standalone flow to link the flow with the number:
External Request Update: send file as parameter in API calls
This is an update about the External Request in the Action Step.
You can include a file itself in the API calls instead of the URL link of the file.
In the External Request, go Body, multipart/form-data and you will see an Upload Files section. Put a file direct link here to include the file itself in the parameter. You can put the link you get from a Question Step here. (Please note that the file URL link from a Question Step is only valid for 24 hours) image.png45.51 KB
1) inputs in Auth section - Api Key type 2) client id, secret, access token, refresh token, etc in Auth section - OAuth v2 type 3) inputs of actions in Actions section
2. Dynamic Source invalid in One Time Url - 2. Web Forms - Inputs
When you go setting the inputs of web forms in a one-time URL, dynamic source won't work here.
3. the drop-down list only loaded when first click "edit action"
In the chatbot flow, when you create a new action of the Mini-App, and first click "Edit Action", the system will do an external request and generate the drop-down list based on the current value in the fields. If you change the parameter e.g. the value in Auth inputs, the drop-down list won't be re-fresh, please delete the action and create a new one.
Before the update, you can duplicate only one step at a time. Now you can select multiple steps and duplicate them.
Please note that,
- after copying multiple steps, you can only paste once. copy again for another paste - where can I paste the steps? (1) to the same bot/flow (2) to the different bot/flow but the same channel (associate custom fields will be created automatically) (3) to different channels (unsupported features will be removed)
- subflow template supported (installed subflow goes to a folder) - template configuration added: viewable, editable, version number (only for subflow template) - install template from different channel - interface changed
Before the update, there are NOW, TODAY system fields that refer to the current time/date of the users (if they have a timezone in their profile, otherwise based on workspace's timezone).
Now a new system field is added called BOT_CURRENT_TIME. This one is the current time based on the workspace's timezone.
This is an update about the preview feature in all channels which support preview (Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, Line and Viber)

Dynamic Quick Reply in Send Message Step Now Available
This is an update about Send Message Step.

Please note that these replies expire in 30 minutes.
Dynamic Quick Answer in Question Step Now Available
This is an update about Question Step.
Before the update, you will need to list all the quick answers yourself but now, by selecting a JSON variable, your chatbot can list the quick answers from the JSON variable for you:
We add a new way for you to auto cleanup bot users. You can cleanup bot user when reached bot user limit or time interval.
For example, set up the cleanup to 90 days and the bot will automatically remove users who haven't interacted with your bot over 90 days.
These cleanup conditions are checked once per day, not in real-time.
Alternatively, for more customized cleanup conditions, we suggest you use a datetime based trigger to do a regular check and in the workflow, setup your own condition like only clean guest user or user without contact information, etc.
Now each message sent by the bot has a little drop-down button, click on it to "Resend Message" or navigate to the step to edit the step, do your improvement in a more convenient way.
When you check error log, you can see which step in which subflow went wrong, before the update, you will need to navigate to the step yourself. Now by simply click on the step name, you will jump to the step right away.
When you click on the "Response Headers", a list of hearer information will show. Now the hearer information is all clickable. For example, in the screenshot below, you can click on the "Response-Code: 200" to get its path "$H['Response-Code'] and save the value "200" to a variable for later usage.
