01
New ReleaseDuplicate a sequence

Iterating on sequence copy no longer means rebuilding from scratch.

We've added a powerful new Duplicate action on sequence cards across all views (list, grid, kanban).

  • Preserves status, column, and scheduling perfectly.
  • Retains complex branch routing and structural fidelity.
  • Every per-step setting is fully intact.
  • Fork, tweak, A/B test, and keep original untouched.
Duplicate Sequence
02
Quality of LifeInline variable creation

Faster authoring loop for sequences.

Now, when working in the sequence builder, you no longer have to context-switch out just to build a missing variable field.

  • Slash menu naturally shows "Create Variable: <your term>" when a typed name has no direct match.
  • Selecting it instantly opens a modal to create the field.
  • Automatically inserts the newly minted variable at your cursor's slash position.
03
Platform UpgradeSMS step accepts rich media

Massively push conversion with richer outbound payloads.

The standard image attachment UI has been rebranded to "Media" with advanced type-aware previews.

  • SMS steps now natively support attaching video, vCards, PDFs, and audio.
  • Features inline video play and styled file cards for documents within the builder.
  • The Flow Builder SMS node badge now correctly reflects the exact attached media type.
  • Send product videos, spec sheets, and reps' cards directly over SMS instead of using bare links.
04
Workflow ExperienceRedesigned condition node UX

Building multi-condition branches is finally faster and much cleaner.

We've heavily revamped the Flow Builder to ensure complex logic branches remain perfectly readable.

  • Condition nodes feature a brand new floating quick-action toolbar.
  • Compact logic "chips" fully replace the cluttered old row list.
  • Two-stage modal with a seamlessly integrated inline field picker for editing conditions.
  • Click-to-edit chips make interacting with logic trees incredibly intuitive.
05
InsightsCampaigns View — Contacts tab

Live troubleshooting of stuck enrollments is trivial.

Operations teams can now see exactly who is mid-sequence without having to run SQL queries.

  • Brand new Campaigns View tab located directly on the Contacts page.
  • Displays every specific contact actively enrolled in the chosen sequence/flow.
  • Shows current step execution state and status for perfect diagnostics.
  • Admins can selectively pick tracked campaigns directly via Settings.

06
PersonalizationNotifications & Profile Check

Empowering agents with precise delivery cadences.

Granular control to configure what alerts you receive, driving better profile integrity.

  • New independent Profile → Notifications control panel.
  • Manage toggles for Daily Recommendations, Performance Reports, and Appointment Alerts.
  • Opt-in completely voluntarily to the Daily SMS Insights track.
  • Persistent Profile Completion banner uses a circular progress indicator to drive critical field entry.
Notification Preferences
07
Live DataMulti-condition Field Filter

Precise ad-hoc cohort building without endless saved filters.

Build extremely specific live segments directly on your Lists.

  • Stack limitless AND'd filter conditions dynamically on Contacts & custom inboxes.
  • For example: "State = CA AND Status ≠ DNC AND Appointment < 7 days".
  • Queries refine LIVE and instantly display matched rows.
  • Every chip handles independently, allowing quick tweaks without saving static filters.
Multi Condition Filter
08
Major ReleaseAgent Command Center [1/3]

Single administrative surface controlling inbound distribution.

Complete mastery over routing arrays, capacities, and presence states.

  • Agent Roster: See presence, active workload, and easily map skill tags natively. Auto-assign exclusion toggles enable dynamic pausing.
  • Access & Routing: Fine-grained visibility rules, strict per-agent capacity caps, auto-unassign timers, and powerful bulk operations.
  • 5 Unified Strategies: Pick from Round Robin, Least Busy, Tag Based, Specific Agent, or Role Based with Context-Aware assignment previews.
Agent Command Center
09
Major ReleaseAgent Command Center [2/3]

Advanced multi-layer mapping engines.

  • Deep Tag Matching: Match ANY or ALL tags from mapped inputs (product, logic_params, source) entirely case-insensitive against agents. Intelligent fallback tiebreakers route gracefully.
  • Dynamic Teams: Group agents and orchestrate flows using compound AND/OR logic constraints. Balances flawlessly without double-counting members. Priority-ordering ensures secondary groups catch rollovers automatically.

10
Major ReleaseAgent Command Center [3/3]

Unprecedented visibility over allocation behavior.

  • Live Dashboard: Telemetry arrays showing Active Assignments, Avg Response thresholds, and Donut-chart distributions. Live feed of the last 15 assignment events showing purely WHY a route fired.
  • Execution Triggers: Drive assignments based purely on Webhook hits, inbound SMS, AI Handoffs, or Manual pushes.
  • Reassign-on-Response: Optionally binds whoever replies last as the exclusive owner. Aware of presence states absolutely.

  • Custom tool endpoints execute verified payloads during the active call.
