September 2023
New Features
Set Attributes to Value on Intents: You can now design intents to set a value against a certain attribute based on the fact that this intent gets triggered. As an example : you can add the value 'done' to an attribute 'welcome' based on whether or not the WelcomeIntent was triggered. This allows you to set up even more varied conversational flows determined by whether a user has 'visited' a certain intent, or segment a user by the fact that certain intents were triggered.
Autosaving intents: With this release, we are introducing an Autosave functionality to the Intent settings in the Conversation Designer. You no longer have to remember to Save or Update your settings with every edit you make to your intents, we will do it for you - saving you time and headspace!
Improvements
We have fixed a persistent bug in the product related to the description boxes for the different components in the Conversation Designer. All updates to these descriptions will now get saved and updated seamlessly.
