Release: 20th December 2019

New Features

👍

Completely new feature for Pro user: Automations.

Use it for easy data migration from and to Google Sheets. Login with your Google Account and SnatchBot will do the rest - create a spreadsheet and start filling it with user input. Specify the attribute and the data will be published automatically.

Additionally,

  • Added possibility to specify attributes as connection criteria, similar to already familiar custom variables.
  • New in JSON API interaction: you can now specify if you want to send text and voice message together, or only voice. The new parameter "show text" will help you to control it.
  • New channel: Africa's Talking.
  • Balance history: clearer view on the status of your payments.
  • Webchat widget was greatly enhanced, new customisable options: custom message next to widget icon and unread message notification, engaging users to start the chat with your bot.
  • Address extraction interaction now supports sharing live location! If the user opts for sending location marker from Facebook Messenger or Skype - it will be recognized as an address. The option is now available in Webchat as well - the user can specify his location by dragging the location pin if it was not detected automatically.

Improvements

  • We are now adding templates in different languages. For our users using language subdomains the templates in their language will be displayed on top.
  • Updated Advanced Stats, Average lifetime of bots.
  • We removed the Submit your bot tab from Facebook settings as they discontinued it. This is not a mistake!
  • We constantly work on localisation of the website. Do not hesitate contacting us if you spotted something.
