New and enhanced features
- Event based support
A new support channel type has been created, emitting events that brands can listen to, allowing them to continue the support escalation process with their preferred CRM and UI. This feature caters to new front-end chat integrations and addresses the needs of brands that prefer not to utilize embedded-agent-chat capabilities. - Improvements to Route To widget
The Route To widget has been improved to help streamline consumer navigation. Previously, users were required to click a button for redirection to a support channel, potentially introducing complexity, especially when only one option was available. To resolve this, when a single route exit is configured, the button is now optional, and the system automatically initiates the redirection to the support channel without the need for user interaction. - Engagement form field enhancements
Consumers will no longer experience form field descriptions being truncated or cut off when admins use the WebSDK for engagement forms. Account owners and admins can now create longer, more descriptive form field help text without worrying about descriptions getting cut off or truncated unexpectedly. This provides a better form filling experience for consumers.
Resolved issues
Note: The Third-party interface using Sunshine and Zoom Virtual Agent integration with Zoom Contact Center Phone Channel Service features have been pulled from release due to issues with deployment and will be available in another upcoming release.
New and enhanced features
- Swedish language support
The Zoom for Outlook add-in includes language support for Swedish. - Enable auto-start Meeting Summary and Meeting Query
When scheduling a meeting in Outlook add-in, admins and hosts have the ability to enable auto-start for AI Companion questions, similar to Summary.
Resolved issues
- Minor bug issues
- Resolved an issue where the Zoom for Outlook Add-in was unable to recognize a previously scheduled meeting. Users were experiencing a prompt to open a new window when scheduling a meeting via Add a Zoom Meeting. After signing in, the meeting was added, but accessing add-in settings and scheduling another meeting resulted in two different meeting IDs for the same Outlook event.
- Resolved an issue where the domain field in Outlook Web was consistently empty when adding a Zoom meeting link. Users had to manually type "ssodomoan" and "macquariegroup" each time.
