Every chat is a chance to close

When a ticket gets created from a chat, the ticket now shows a chat card at the top of the feed. The card has the conversation summary and a link that takes you straight back to the original chat. One click, full context. For tickets that started as sales conversations, that context is the difference between closing a follow-up and missing it.

The context stays with the ticket

A lot of support workflows look the same: a customer starts a chat, the issue needs follow-up, someone creates a ticket. From that point on, the ticket lives on its own. The agent working the ticket sees a ticket. The chat that started it? Gone, or buried somewhere in the archives. Whatever the customer said about their cart, their purchase question, or the product they were comparing gets lost.

The chat card fixes that. It sits at the top of the ticket feed and shows the chat summary along with basic info about the original conversation. Click it and you're in the chat. You don't have to search the archives or figure out which entry matches.

The transcript problem is fixed too

There was a secondary annoyance here. When a ticket sent a transcript to the customer, the entire chat transcript used to show up as a long, unformatted message inside the ticket feed. It cluttered the feed and made the ticket harder to read.

That's been replaced. The transcript goes to the customer via email now, and a short system message in the ticket feed confirms it was sent. The feed stays clean, the customer still gets the record.

Context is what separates "handled" from "handled well"

For ecommerce teams, the chat that creates a ticket often carries the buying signal. Maybe the customer asked about sizing, or mentioned they were comparing two products, or had a cart question that turned into a defect report. An agent who can see that context handles the ticket differently than one who just sees the issue text.

This pairs with the custom fields release from earlier this month. A ticket can now carry structured metadata (order ID, priority tier, region) and show the full original conversation. The agent sees both what the system knows and what the customer said.

The AI agent can now read customer screenshots and photos

The AI agent now understands the images a customer sends, not only the text they type. A screenshot, a product photo, a picture of a damaged item: the agent reads what is in the image and uses it in the conversation. It is live now.

Campaigns are no longer admin-only

The campaigns page used to be admin-only. Now agents can open it, see every campaign, and create and run campaigns inside their own groups. Where an account has opportunities, agents can launch the campaigns tied to them too.

Chat routing now works for Messenger and Twilio SMS

Routing rules now cover Messenger and Twilio SMS, not just web chat. A conversation from those channels lands with the team that owns it, routed by Facebook Page or by the number the customer texted.
