Bug fixes

 

These were the bugs detected, and they’ve now been fixed.

 

Team Inbox bugs

  1. Some agents observed that when changing groups in a conversation, the agent dropdown does not update correctly.
  2. Some agents observed that the history of previously resolved conversations is visible in current conversations. 
  3. Some agents have observed that despite having restricted access to the chat inbox, they can still reassign conversations using the conversation API. 
  4. Some agents have observed that the error message for exceeding 2000 characters is displayed inconsistently.  
  5. Some agents have observed that customers with their default language set to Korean cannot see default custom user properties in their accounts.
  6. Some agents have observed that even when the file upload limit is exceeded, the file still appears in the list with an undefined name.  
  7. The User Interface experiences issues when scrolling in the Team Inbox view when the agent's language is set to Arabic. 
  8. Some agents have observed inconsistencies in the inbox view count when opening a single conversation via search results or notifications.
  9. Some agents have observed that the attachment icon does not appear in the widget after a bot conversation is assigned to a group. It becomes visible only after an agent replies from the inbox.

Admin Experience bugs

  1. Some agents have observed an issue with the search function on the Conversation files page, where recently uploaded files are displayed in the search results even if they do not match the search request. 
  2. Some agents have observed that no asterisk mark is shown near the mandatory 'Enter away message' field.

Bot bugs

  1. When searching for similar queries on the Q&A page, an empty utterance is now handled.
  2. Added validations for language and locale input. 
  3. Auto-generated tickets are now closed automatically if the inactivity timer runs out.
  4. The input box disappears if the bot accepts a file upload input and then assigns the conversation to an agent.
  5. OTP nodes aren’t displayed if configured with other node actions.
  6. A feedback node without conditions interrupts the bot flow and moves the conversation to an agent.
  7. Some agents get ReadTimeOut errors in the GDPR Delete action.
  8. Some customers report that the Exit Chat button is incorrectly shown in the bot flow after being cached. 
  9. Added validations to prevent creating custom properties with the same name as default properties.
