Updates & Bug Fixes
Release Date: March 2025:
CX Manager
- We updated date and time fields in Reports to always show in the timezone of the user that ran the report rather then always showing in UTC.
- We fixed a bug where custom fields of type Product Picklist would show correctly on the Location Layout on the Customer screen but incorrectly on the Location Layout from clicking on the Location Card in the Customer Panel on the Case screen. Custom Product Picklist fields will now show properly on all Location Layout screens.
- We fixed an issue where escalating a Case to a Team in another Organization would show the Owner User field as blank but it would remain set to the original user. Now when you escalate a Case to a Team in another Organization and leave the Owner User field blank, it will properly set the Owner User field as blank.
- We fixed an issue where a user was required to click the Run Filter for any ad hoc filters every time they left and returned to the Cases list. Now when a user sets ad hoc filters on the Cases list and navigates into a Case and back, the Cases list will remain filtered with the previously set filters.
- We fixed an issue where a user would experience a blank screen after navigating into a Case from a grouped Cases View on page 2+ and then clicking back to the Cases list. Now the Cases list will properly show when navigating across multiple pages on grouped views.
Knowledge
- We fixed an issue where adding an Accordion to a Tab Body in a Knowledge Article broke the Tab structure. Now when you add an Accorion to a Tab, the Tab body will properly retain its structure.
- We fixed an issue where a user would press Enter from within a Tab or Accordion body in an Article and it would break the Tab or Accordion. Now when you press Enter in a Tab or Accordion body it will take you to the next line within that Tab or Accordion.
- We fixed an issue where clicking the Next Line button after an Accordion added to the bottom of the Article would put the new line within the Accordion rather than below it. Now clicking the Next Line button after an Accordion will put the next text outside of th Accordion (
after the
).- We fixed an issue where a user would insert a Tab into an Article body and it would sometimes add to a bulleted list. Now a Tab will be added directly to the body without adding any bullets.
Security
- We improved our SSO integrations to better validate against expired SAML tokens.
- We updated our Content Security Policy Headers and CORS policies for enhanced security.
Reporting & Dashboards
- We fixed an issue where filtering visualizations in dashboards with datetime fields would sometimes cause calculation errors.
- We fixed an issue where attempting to edit a visualization on a Dashboard would sometimes results in a CSP error. Now when you edit a visualization you are able to without any errors.
Admin & Settings
- We added the ability to use Control + Click or Command + Click on the Settings dropdown in the top right to easily open the Settings screen in a new tab.
- We fixed a display issue where the Availability would show as 'During Business Hours' on the Messenger configurator when it was really set to 'Always'. Now the screen will always show the proper availability.
- We fixed an issue where long custom fields names would cut off the buttons to add conditional logic or remove them from the layout configuration screen. Now you will be able to access the menu options for all fields on the layout screen no matter how long they are.
Updates & Bug Fixes
Release Date: February 2025:
CX Manager
Case Management
- We added the ability to control+click and command+click on 1) Cases in the Cases list 2) Chat tiles in the top nav bar and 3) the main navigation list. Doing this will open the new screen in a new browser tab without impacting your current screen.
- We added the ability to merge cases from the Case edit screen. Click on View All on the Cases section of the Customer panel and from there you can select your Cases to merge. This will make it easier to quickly find related or duplicate Cases for a customer and merge them together without complex filters.
- We fixed a bug where some picklists were retaining hidden values after a user would enter an invalid value into a required picklist field and then delete the value. Now when a user removes a value from a picklist it will properly clear the value and the field will search as expected.
- We fixed an issue where the type ahead text in a picklist field would sometimes get stuck causing the picklist to not show all the values even after the text was removed. Now deleting the text in a picklist will reset the fitlers and show all available options.
- We fixed an issue that caused Tags and Categories to continue to show on the Tags and Category fields on a Case after a Team was deleted from the Tag in Settings. Now when you delete a Team that is related to a Tag, that Tag will no longer show as an option on the Tags picklist on the Case Edit screen for users on that Team.
- We fixed an issue where the Cases Selected count that shows at the top of the Cases list when you select multiple Cases would sometimes show an incorrect count. Now when you select multiple Cases on one or more pages it will always show the proper count both before and after merging Cases.
- We fixed an issue where some Cases would periodically fail to display Events and would have improper access controls.
Customers
- We fixed an issue where custom URL fields that were accessed from the Customer screen were not opening the links in a new tab when clicked. Now when you click on the URL in a URL field type on the Customer Location panel, it will open in a new browser tab.
- We updated the functionality of custom product fields so when you add a product from the Add Product list it is saved to that field rather than only saving to the list of available products for that Location.
- We fixed a bug where custom product picklist fields would peridodically disappear from the Location Layout when accessed from the Customer Panel on the Case edit screen.
- We fixed an error that was being thrown when pressing the Add Product button on Product fields on a Location.
Communications
We fixed an issue where sending an email to an email integration inbox with multiple email addresses in the To: field would only show the the email integration inbox email address and all other email addresses in the To: field would not be displayed. Now all email addresses in the email’s To: field will show on the Communication Panel To: field.
Journeys
- We added the ability to cancel any open Action in a Journey from the timeline view so you can close out any Action that is stuck or no longer needs to be completed. Canceling a Task will also now post an event to the events timeline to show the date and time that the Task was canceled.
- We added the ability to force complete an Action in a Journey from the timeline view so you can mark any Action as Complete if it was completed out of order.
- We added functionality to automatically close out any outstanding actions on a Journey when the Journey Closed Out function is used from the timeline. This ensures that that there will be no orphaned Tasks after a Journey is manually closed.
- We updated the icons in the timeline for Steps and Stages that contain Actions that are skipped. Previously it would show the Stage and Step as skipped when they contained a skipped action. Now they will continue to show as In Progress or Completed.
Knowledge
We fixed a bug where the Load More Events button was not showing at the bottom of the Events tab on Knowledge Articles.
Connectors & APIs
- We added Zoho and IRIS CRM to our list of connectors. We will discuss the details of each one in a future post.

Messenger (Web & SDK)
- We added rich text formatting for AI agent responses in Messenger to make long responses easier to read (line breaks, lists, clickable links).
- We disabled in-app surveys for canceled cases to prevent incorrect or accidental ratings.
- We added additional retry logic when opening Messenger in case chat ever gets stuck loading messages.
- We added a configuration option to Messenger to show or hide a button that allows customers to immediately route a conversation to a human while they are chatting with an AI agent.
- We fixed an issue where timestamps were showing an incorrect time. Now all timestamps in Messenger will show based on the user's computer timezone.
AI Agents
- We enabled auto case creation and team assignment when routing from an AI agent to a human.
- We added multilingual capabilities with auto language detection to our conversational AI agents.
If you are interested in testing our the beta of our conversational AI agents, please let us know! We would be happy to set one up for you, trained on your knowledge.
Reporting & Dashboards

Admin & Settings
- We added a Teams field to restrict Tag and Category acess to the add and edit screens for Tags and Categories in Settings. Leaving this field blank will make the Tag or Category available to all users.
- We added a new Manage Tokens permission to break Tokens access apart from the Edit Organization Settings Permission. This new permission will automatically be given to all users with an Admin Role and can be manually added to your custom packages from Settings > Roles & Permissions > Select Role > Edit Permissions > Administration Settings.
We updated the Edit Organization Settings Permission to control fewer options in Settings. The details are described below:
- The Manage Teams permission now controls showing/hiding the Teams navigation item in Settings (even with Edit Organization Settings off)
- The Manage Users permission now controls showing/hiding the Users navigation item in Settings (even with Edit Organization Settings off). Note that you will need to disable both "Manage Users Passwords" and "Manage Users" to have "Users" nav completely removed from Settings.
- The View Reports permission controls showing/hiding the Reports nav item on the main Nav list (even with Edit Organization Settings off). Note that you will need to disable both "View reports" and "Manage Reports" to have "Reports" option fully removed from main navigation.

- We added additional rate limiting to our login screen to prevent automated attacks.
- We improved our application defense against possible clickjacking.
- We updated application dependencies to mitigate any third party vulnerabilities.
- We improved application security by limiting the number of concurrent user sessions. Users can still work in multiple tabs at the same time.
Data Center Migration for Hosted Files
We successfully migrated our file hosting infrastructure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This upgrade will bring improvements to the performance, reliability, and scalability of how you add, access, and download files and images.
We now have a unified file hosting service for all of our data center locations and environments, which will lead to a more seamless experience when interacting with files across all of our products and services.
This transition is part of our ongoing efforts to improve our infrastructure and provide you with the best possible experience. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to our support team.
Thank you for your continued trust.

Now when a user creates a new Customer via the Create New Customer button after selecting Create > Case from the global Create button, the new Customer is saved and the Customer and Location fields are displayed in column 1. The 4 sections of column 1 load and the Case Add view is displayed in column 2 with all fields on the Case layout.

Updates & Bug Fixes
Release Date: 05/16/2024:
Knowledge
This release enhances the accessibility of interactive elements across the Knowledge editor, ensuring consistent and clear announcements through screen readers. All checkboxes, toggle switches, buttons, input fields, and other controls now properly announce their names, roles, values, and available actions when focused. This includes elements like the Restore button on previously published versions, checkboxes in filter menus, title/subtitle fields, embedded article options, token insertion, thumbnail navigation in File Manager, and related article controls. Proper keyboard accessibility has also been implemented for previously inaccessible components. These improvements align with WCAG 2.0 guidelines for providing programmatically determinable information, allowing users to effectively understand and interact with on-screen elements through assistive technologies. The standardized announcements create a more inclusive and seamless experience for all users.
This release further enhances the accessibility of interactive elements throughout Knowledge Home by standardizing announcements for screen readers and other assistive technologies. Clear buttons in filters now convey their associated actions. The Page field at the bottom of the list is accessible via keyboard with proper announcements. On the Templates page, the clear button in the search bar, column headers, and row actions are all properly announced. When modals open, the auto-focused close button correctly states its purpose. The buttons within modals like Clone, Archive, and Delete are accurately labeled for clear communication. These improvements ensure users can effectively perceive the available interface components and interactions through auditory cues, aligning with WCAG 2.0 guidelines around providing programmatically determinable names, roles, and values. The consistent and descriptive announcements create a more inclusive experience across all user workflows.
This release standardizes the announcements for interactive form fields throughout Knowledge Home, improving accessibility for users of screen readers and other assistive technologies. Dropdowns like Libraries, Status, Visibility, Tags, Products, and Shared With now properly announce their label, role as a collapsed or expanded listbox, current selection state, and available operations like text editing or navigating options. This consistent pattern of "Label, Role, State, Operation" ensures fields are comprehensively conveyed, allowing users to easily identify and interact with them solely through audio cues. These enhancements align with WCAG 2.0 guidelines for providing programmatically determinable name, role, and value information, creating a more inclusive and seamless experience across all user interfaces.
This release introduces significant improvements to the accessibility of the tree element across Knowledge. Previously, these interactive components did not adhere to WCAG standards for keyboard operability and screen reader announcements. With this update, the tree elements in the Details tab and the Insert Article modal when editing an article now fully comply with the recommended keyboard navigation patterns and programmatic announcements. Users can seamlessly traverse the tree structures, expand/collapse nodes, and understand the current context through clear and consistent screen reader feedback.
This release resolves multiple accessibility issues identified across Knowledge when using the JAWS screen reader. Checkboxes throughout Knowledge are now operable via keyboard and announced correctly by JAWS. When visiting a page within Knowledge that contains a table with JAWS enabled, pressing "T" properly announces the table contents. Additionally, all main pages (Knowledge, Reports, Settings) now have an H1 header that is announced when pressing "H" with JAWS on, helping users identify their current context. Lastly, the sub-menu options accessed through the three-dot menu throughout Knowledge are fully keyboard accessible and announced accurately by JAWS.
This release introduces significant enhancements to the accessibility of modals across the Knowledge, Settings, and Reports areas of the application. Previously, screen readers did not provide any announcements when modals were opened, limiting the ability for users relying on assistive technologies to effectively navigate these interfaces. With this update, the focus is now properly set to the first interactive element within each modal, and the modal's title is clearly announced.
We fixed an accessibility bug with the "Discard Changes" modal in the Knowledge editor. Previously, when using a screen reader, the modal's contents were announced incorrectly, with the title, description, and buttons being repeated multiple times. With this fix, the screen reader will now properly announce the modal's title and description, followed by each button's accessible name individually. This ensures users relying on assistive technologies can clearly understand the purpose of the modal and interact with its controls in a logical, streamlined manner.
Journeys
Over the next few weeks we will be rolling out the new version of our Journeys product. This will include access to the Journey API Activity powered by the API Library as well as new backend engine with improved reliability at scale.
Messenger (Web & SDK)
We updated Messenger to be loaded from a CDN, improving the load performance of Messenger on websites and in applications.
Reporting & Dashboards
We improved the loading performance for the reporting tables that power the Customer and Case data in our dashboards. This will ensure the dashboard data is updated on a more timely and consistent cadence.
This release addresses accessibility issues across the Reports section of the application Teams section in Settings by providing descriptive and unique labels for all interactive elements, ensuring compliance with WCAG 1.3.1 guidelines. Buttons such as "Add Team," "Search Filters," "Edit," "More Options," as well as various actions within team management modals like "Edit Team," "Add Hours," "Edit Additional Info," "Add User to Team," and "Add New User" now have clear labels that accurately convey their purpose. Additionally, the irrelevant tab label in the "Add New User" modal has been removed for clarity. These improvements create a more inclusive experience, enabling all users, including those using assistive technologies, to effectively navigate and interact with team-related settings and functionalities. The consistent labeling enhances the overall usability and comprehension of Reports interface.
Admin & Settings
We improved the performance of loading the Teams page under Settings.
This release addresses accessibility issues across the Teams section in Settings by providing descriptive and unique labels for all interactive elements, ensuring compliance with WCAG 1.3.1 guidelines. Buttons such as "Add Team," "Search Filters," "Edit," "More Options," as well as various actions within team management modals like "Edit Team," "Add Hours," "Edit Additional Info," "Add User to Team," and "Add New User" now have clear labels that accurately convey their purpose. Additionally, the irrelevant tab label in the "Add New User" modal has been removed for clarity. These improvements create a more inclusive experience, enabling all users, including those using assistive technologies, to effectively navigate and interact with team-related settings and functionalities. The consistent labeling enhances the overall usability and comprehension of the Teams interface.
This release addresses accessibility issues on the My Profile page in Settings, ensuring compliance with WCAG 1.3.1 guidelines for providing descriptive and unique labels across interactive elements. Previously, buttons such as "Edit contact info," "Switch role," "Add to team," and others lacked proper labeling, hindering users' ability to understand their purpose and relationships. Additionally, the "Back" and "Save & Exit" buttons on subsequent screens suffered from the same issue. With this update, all buttons now have clear, descriptive labels that accurately convey their functionality. The styling of the "Back" and "Save" buttons has been updated to align with the visual treatment of similar Settings options, further enhancing consistency and usability. These improvements create a more inclusive and seamless experience for all users navigating and managing their profile settings.
This release enhances the accessibility of the Knowledge settings interface by providing descriptive labels for interactive elements, addressing violations of WCAG 1.3.1 guidelines. On the main Knowledge page, the action buttons and search filters now have associated aria-labels for clear identification. When editing a Knowledge library, all buttons within that interface are properly labeled. Additionally, the "Browse" button for custom branding options has received an appropriate aria-label. These improvements ensure that all users, including those relying on assistive technologies, can effectively perceive and interact with the various Knowledge settings and configurations. The consistent labeling creates a more inclusive and comprehensible experience throughout this critical area of the application.
Updates & Bug Fixes
Release Date: 04/08/24:
CX Manager
Cases
- We improved the performance of creating new Cases and editing existing Cases.
- This release improves the visual consistency and clarity of chip displays across various components of the Customers and Cases pages. When viewing the Details tab of a Case, the Product chips now match the green shade used on Case Cards and in Knowledge, while Tag chips adopt the familiar blue color from those pages. Other chips maintain a uniform grey styling aligned with Knowledge. Crucially, chips in view states no longer include the "X" button, reserving that functionality for edit modes. Conversely, when editing a Case, all chips retain their designated colors (green for Products, blue for Tags, grey for others) and display the "X" button for removal. This update extends to Location details within Cases, ensuring Team chips follow the same grey styling without "X" buttons in view mode. These enhancements provide a cohesive and intuitive experience when interacting with case and location information.
- We fixed a bug related to the display of Collaborating Teams and Collaborating Users chips in the Case view state. Previously, these chips incorrectly showed an "X" button, which could be confusing or misleading when not actively editing the Case. With this update, the bug has been resolved by removing the "X" button from the Collaborating Teams and Collaborating Users chips when in the Case view state, reserving its functionality for the edit state only. Additionally, a consistent grey styling has been applied to these chips, aligning with the visual treatment of other Team and User-related chips across the application. This bug fix ensures a clear and intuitive user experience when viewing Case details.
- We added "BaaS" (Banking as a Service) to our Product categories.
Communications
- We continued to improve the logic for matching inbound email, phone, and SMS cases. You can find the full matching logic in this Article.
- We fixed an issue with the saved pdf communication transcripts on resolved cases where the customer’s name was showing as ‘Boomtown’ instead of the name of the Contact. The proper name will now show on the saved transcripts.
- We improved the performance of our email inbox integrations when processing emails with large file attachments.
Knowledge
- This release enhances keyboard accessibility and operability for various input fields across the Knowledge Home and Knowledge Edit pages. The remove chip buttons for Tags, Products, Shared With entities, Labels, Restrict Team access, and Share With Organizations have been relocated outside of the input fields, ensuring compliance with WCAG 2.1.1. Users can now seamlessly navigate to and interact with these chips using keyboard controls. Additionally, the ability to remove Team, Organization, Customer Segment, Product, Tag, and Search Term chips via keyboard has been implemented. This improvement ensures all interactive elements are accessible and operable solely through keyboard navigation, providing an inclusive experience for all users.
- This release further enhances the accessibility of interactive elements throughout Knowledge Home by standardizing announcements for screen readers and other assistive technologies. Clear buttons in filters now convey their associated actions. The Page field at the bottom of the list is accessible via keyboard with proper announcements. On the Templates page, the clear button in the search bar, column headers, and row actions are all properly announced. When modals open, the auto-focused close button correctly states its purpose. The buttons within modals like Clone, Archive, and Delete are accurately labeled for clear communication. These improvements ensure users can effectively perceive the available interface components and interactions through auditory cues, aligning with WCAG 2.0 guidelines around providing programmatically determinable names, roles, and values. The consistent and descriptive announcements create a more inclusive experience across all user workflows.
- This release improves the focus order and styling of focused elements on the Knowledge Edit page for an enhanced user experience. The focus state visibility issues with the Primary buttons (Edit, Restore, Save, etc.) and the Publish button have been resolved. Users can now clearly distinguish the focused element, as the focus state is no longer obscured or cut off at the top and bottom. This fix ensures a logical focus order and consistent styling across interactive components, adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.4.3 for better accessibility and usability.
- This release resolves a focus trap issue in the Knowledge Edit page's Related Articles section when tabbing through elements in edit state with multiple manually added articles. Previously, users could get trapped within the clear buttons, unable to navigate further via keyboard. The fix ensures seamless tabbing throughout the page, adhering to WCAG 2.0 accessibility guidelines. Key improvements include setting the next focus after clear buttons to the "Search for Articles" dropdown, and the previous focus on Shift+Tab to the "Auto Generate" switch, allowing full keyboard accessibility compliance.
- We fixed an issue where Messenger was not always showing on external knowledge sites when configured from the Knowledge Settings screen.
APIs & Connectors
APIs
We added the getBy endpoints to the Product object. This allows organizations to lookup customers from unique IDs that live on the related Products that the customer users.
Connectors
- We added a new event when a Case is deleted. This will allow 3rd party connectors (e.g. Salesforce) to map and update the Case Status field when a Case is deleted in CXMEngine. Previously, a Case would fail to show it was deleted and would require manual intervention to close it out in the 3rd party system.
- We updated our Microsoft Dynamics connector to use the getBy endpoints. This allows more flexible customer matching options when syncing data to OvationCXM from Microsoft Dynamics.
Security
We continued to improve the security of the platform against cross-site scripting (XSS).
