Updates & Bug Fixes

Release Date: April 8, 10, 2025

CX Manager

  • We updated the font across our application to make the text easier to read at all sizes.
  • We updated our Merge Case functionality so now communication threads that have 0 messages will not be merged to the new primary Case. Blank communication threads will now be discarded to avoid clutter on the new primary Case.
  • We fixed an issue where Cases were periodically returning from Waiting to Ready before they were supposed to. 
  • We fixed an issue where the 'Required to Resolved' toggle on custom Case Layouts was not being enforced on Custom Multi-Select Picklist fields. Now When this toggle is active the Case cannot be resolved until that field has at least one option selected.
  • We fixed an issue where filtering a Case by Sponsor Organization would not retain the set filters.
  • We fixed an issue with users logging in with SSO periodically needing to log in twice.
  • Case Summaries: We fixed a bug where a user sometimes was presented the case summary from the previous case when creating a new case.


Knowledge

  • We enhanced the code block styling in Knowledge Articles to make it easier to document, share and use code in Articles. There is a new Insert Code item in the menu, which will add a code block to your Article.
  • We fixed an issue where pasting content into a Tab Body could break the tab layout. Now pasting into a Tab Body will retain the structure of a Tab.
  • We fixed an issue where pressing Enter in a Tab or Accordion body would create a separate body rather than staying in the same body and going to the next line. Now pressing enter in a Tab or Accordion body will move the cursor to the next line within the same body.
  • We fixed an issue where rows in tables alternated colors even when you have the Alternate Rows setting off.
  • We fixed an issue where the layout would break when adding an Accordion or Tabs to a List or a List to an Accordion or Tab body. Now both will work as expected.
  • We fixed an issue with the vertical spacing of bullets in the Article editor where the first indented item in a list would have less spacing than the other items.
  • We made it easier to select and edit the Accordion Name without breaking the layout.
  • We removed the menu option in Articles to style links since that styling is handled in the global CSS file.
  • We updated Accordions and Tabs to make it easier to select the Header and Body text.
  • We updated Accordions and Tabs to show alternating colors between rows to make it easier to differentiate between them.
  • We updated the structure of Tab titles so they are easier to edit without breaking the subsequent tabs.
  • We updated the styling of Tabs so the Tabs on the second row don't change position when the tabs on the first row are selected.
  • We upgrade our Knowledge Article editor to the latest version, which included several enhancements, including, improved pasting images, pasting from MS Word docs, formatting of pasted bullets, bullet indentation, issues with the sticky toolbar, and more.


Journeys

  • We added the ability to Clone a Journey. This includes cloning all Stages, Paths, Steps, and Actions as well as all Revisions. To clone a Journey, open the Journey you want to clone and select Clone to New Journey from the Options menu. You can also clone a Journey from the menu button on the main Journey list. 
  • We fixed a bug with the spacing of Action names on the timeline. Action names will now appear on the same line as the Action icon.


Integrations & APIs

  • We launched our Zoho Connector and you can read out it here. 
  • We improved the performance of our /issues/put endpoint


Toolbox Application

We fixed an issue with mobile notifications not sending on the Toolbox application.


Reporting & Dashboards

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.
  • We fixed an issue where changing the name of a Connector was not properly saving.


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

We updated the default timezone for dashboards to display date/times in PST. If you want the default timezone updated for your organization's dashboard, please reach out to the Customer Success team.


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:

  1. The Manage Teams permission now controls showing/hiding the Teams navigation item in Settings (even with Edit Organization Settings off) 
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. The Create New Knowledge Bases permission now controls showing/hiding the Knowledge nav item in Settings (even with Edit Organization Settings off). Note that you will need to disable both "Create New Knowledge Base" and "Edit Knowledge Base Settings" to have "Knowledge" item fully removed from Settings.
  5. The Manage Communications Channels permission controls showing/hiding the Channels and Settings options under Communications header in the Settings navigation (even with Edit Organization Settings off) 
  6. The Edit Organization Settings now only shows/hides the General Settings navigation item in Settings.


Security

  • We added additional IP checks during user session validation.
  • 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.

Updates & Bug Fixes

Release Date: December 2024

CX Manager

Communications

  • We added the ability to rename communication threads on Cases. This will allow you to more easily differentiate between multiple threads on a Case. To rename a thread, click on the name of the active thread, change the name, and save.
  • We added additional logic when our communication services get disconnected to pull the latest message history when it reconnects to ensure that no messages or chat tiles go missing when the service is reconnecting.
  • We fixed an issue where pressing Enter would not properly send a text message from the communications panel (only clicking the Send button would send the message). Now pressing the Enter key will properly send an outbound SMS message.
  • We fixed an issue where including a line break in an outbound SMS messages from the Communications Panel would result in the message not being sent. Now you can include line breaks in your messages and it will properly send all parts of the message.
  • We fixed an issue where sending an outbound email from the popped out composer would display the Communications Panel with the composer extending to the top of the screen after clicking Send. Now the composer will be the standard height after sending an email from the popped out composer window.
  • We fixed an issue where vertically expanding the composer for chat and SMS messages would not give the user the full space to type.


Cases & Navigation

  • We improved the type-ahead functionality on our picklist fields in CXME. You can now search for options with partial matching and you can match words on any order rather than needing to find results by an exact match.
  • We updated the display of blank Date and Date/Time fields to not show any value when they are have no value. Previously they would display all zeros when the field data was blank.
  • We updated the browser tab titles throughout the application. The tabs now follow the pattern, "{Current Screen Name} - OvationCXM". This will make it easier to identify your tabs when you have multiple tabs open.
  • We added a new 404 screen in the application. Users will be directed to this screen in the future if they try to navigate to a bad URL.
  • We fixed an issue where a user could be logged out of CXME due to inactivity while a report was being downloaded in the background. A user will no longer be logged out automatically while waiting for a report to download.
  • We fixed an issue where clicking ‘No’ when asked to confirm the cases you selected to merge would result in an endless spinner. Now clicking ‘No’ will return you to the previous screen.
  • We fixed an issue where if a user returned directly back to My Work after cloning a Case from My Work, it would result in an endless spinner. Now you can navigate back to My Work after cloning a case and it loads correctly.
  • We fixed an issue where The Action > Assign modal was displaying two Owner Team fields for Work Orders.


Journeys

In addition to launching APIs and Canvas, Paths, Selection Action, Journey Close Out, Parallel Steps, Parallel Actions, we also fixed several bugs across Jourenys builder and timeline:

  • We fixed an issue where adding a Journey to a Case could temporarily hide the display of the communications panel
  • We fixed a bug where dragging a Step to a blank area of the canvas would add a new Step.
  • We fixed a bug where Stage and Steps in the Journey Timeline would show as Completed when the first Action within them was completed.
  • We fixed a small bug where clicking Cancel after adding a Parallel Steps container failed to cancel the node. 


Integrations & APIs

We launched our Hubspot Connector and you can read more about it here.


Reporting & Dashboards

  • We added new date/time fields to our dashboards so now you can add a single fields on tables that show the date and time in one cell rather than needing separate fields for date and time. We will be rolling this update out to all existing dashboards.
  • We are continuing with the migration to our new dashboards and expect the migration to be completed before the end of the year.


Admin & Settings

We fixed an issue where the team name wasn't appearing in the 'Route issue to Team' field on the Messenger configurator when first accessed.

Journeys API Activity | Connecting Journeys with Third Party Systems

We are excited to announce the addition of a new activity type in our Journeys product: API Activity.

This powerful new feature significantly enhances the functionality and flexibility of the Journey builder. Users can now seamlessly integrate external APIs into their journey flows, enabling the automation of data transfers and actions between OvationCXM and third-party systems directly from Journey Timelines. This integration ensures smoother operations, reduces manual intervention, and ultimately leads to faster and more efficient customer service.


Sample Flow:

1. Creating an API Endpoint with API Library


2. Adding the API Endpoint as API Activity on Journey Builder


3. Journey Timeline Progressing with API Activity on a Case


Key Features:

  • Integration with API Library: API endpoints created from the API library are now available as activities within the Journey builder. This allows users to seamlessly incorporate API calls into their journey flows and enables them to send data from OvationCXM to any third-party system. This feature supports various business processes by automating data updates and actions without requiring agents to log into external systems.
  • Configuration and Customization: Users can choose from various Cases, Customer, Contacts, and Locations data fields to map as part of the data payload sent through the API endpoints. These fields are automatically populated from the data retrieved from the Case to which these Journeys are attached for a customer.
  • Automated Journey Progression: The Journey automatically progresses once the API activity is completed. This ensures a smooth and efficient workflow, enhancing the overall experience for both internal agents and customers.


Use-Case Examples:

    • Automatically provision a customer account when they sign the necessary forms.
    • Directly send required customer data to a KYC platform for validation.
    • Keep your internal systems in sync with the latest customer information.
    • Update your pipeline in Hubspot for sales team visibility when the onboarding is complete.
    • Trigger an AdobeSign document to be sent to the customer as part of their sales or activation journeys.
    • Trigger an email campaign on Marketo as part of your marketing outreach.
    • Create and send shipping labels for a product that needs to be delivered.
    • Schedule a training session via Calendly as part of your go-live activation.
    • And many more..

These use cases illustrate the versatility and power of the API Activity feature, enabling seamless automation and integration across various platforms and workflows.


Benefits:

  • Increased Efficiency: Agents no longer need to log into third-party systems to update data or trigger actions. API Activity handles these tasks automatically, saving time and reducing the potential for errors.
  • Improved Customer Experience: By automating data transfers and actions, customers receive quicker and more accurate service, leading to higher satisfaction levels.
  • Enhanced Business Value: Organizations can streamline their operations and ensure that all necessary data updates and actions are performed consistently and accurately through automated workflows.

We believe that the API Activity will significantly enhance your workflow capabilities and improve the overall efficiency of your processes. As always, we are committed to providing you with the best tools to support your business needs.


Roll Out Plan:

The following feature is part of our New Journeys Suite. We are rolling out the new Journeys product in waves, and if you would like to get early access, please let us know by emailing product@ovationcxm.com.

Thank you for choosing OvationCXM!

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.
