Improvements to Conversation settings for Bots

Changes in ‘New’ Conversations in Bots

Currently, every interaction the bot has with customers is recorded as a Conversation in the bot builder, regardless of whether the customer responds or not. This leads to a lot of ‘New’ status conversations where the only interaction is the dialog initiated by the bot. This creates a huge volume of conversations that leads to a cluttered experience. To avoid this, we’re not creating New conversations where the customer doesn’t respond/take any action in response to the bot message(s), and ‘New’ status conversations will be removed from Analytics.

Bot interactive messages in WhatsApp 

With this update in Freshdesk Messaging, bot flows with structured content including carousels, lists, buttons, and articles will be optimized automatically to deliver an interactive experience for end-users on WhatsApp. Admins no longer need to create WhatsApp-specific flows manually for this set of interactive messages.
