Import / Export functionality

No matter whether your account is for small business or has more than 10 operator profiles you can now import your list of canned responses instead of entering them one by one. For large companies we added a possibility to import a list of operator profiles from CSV. Below are listed all available features:

  • canned responses export
  • transfer canned responses between accounts

  • Files drag and drop
  • Console interface translation into Russian, German and Chinese
  • Microsoft Pinyin support for Chinese language
  • Stability improvements and new design elements

Privacy and security settings

To make our system compliant with GDPR rules we added the following features:

  • Secure connection is turned on for all new accounts by default
  • Possibility to hide all visitors’ IPs from monitoring
  • An ability to turn on optional or required personal data processing consent on pre-chat and leave a message forms

Moreover, to improve chat process convenience and protect your chat from abusive visitors we added the following features:

  • Possibility to block a single IP, the whole IP range or URL
  • IP addresses filtering in the operator console

We hope you will take advantage of all our new features and let us know what kind of improvements you would like to see in our system. By the way, more features like chat stats and operator console for mobile devices are coming soon.
