Summary

What's new

New features include LDAP sync support for federated users and comprehensive event logging for all user setting changes, with a one-year retention for auditability. Apps can now respond to department removal or disablement events to avoid service interruptions. The Security screen was enhanced with better guidance for two-factor authentication setup. A redesigned global header was released under feature preview with improved accessibility. UI enhancements included simplifying room headers, contextual navigation buttons, and clearer announcement banner behavior. Custom LDAP variable manipulation was introduced, allowing advanced string operations. Icons for Video Calls and VOIP were updated for better clarity. Additionally, departments can now be linked to units during creation or updates, and live agents can temporarily hide the "Contact Unknown" banner to minimize disruption.

Bug fixes

Numerous bugs were addressed, including correcting federated users' display names and resolving Engagement Dashboard loading issues in versions 7.4.1 and 7.5. Improvements were made to Contact Center date filters, Engagement Panel timezone displays, and webhook user updates. Calendar presence syncing now works reliably on desktop apps, and VoIP call reconnection issues with FreeSWITCH were resolved. Webhook posting and private team behavior were aligned with access controls. Authentication methods now correctly enforce user limits. Issues with Poll Plus voting, livechat custom field updates, canned response editing crashes, and unnecessary inquiry updates were also fixed. Livechat department visibility for monitors, chat limit hierarchy, Business Hours toggling, agent search input handling, and simultaneous chat assignment algorithms were corrected to ensure consistent and expected system behavior.

  • (#​35244 by @​tapiarafael) Ensures seat limit validation in LDAP sync, preventing activations beyond license restrictions.

  • (#​35722) Fixes the behavior of "Maximum number of simultaneous chats" settings, making them more predictable. Previously, we applied a single limit per operation, being the order: Department > Agent > Global. This caused the department limit to take prescedence over agent's specific limit, causing some unwanted side effects.

    The new way of applying the filter is as follows:

    • An agent can accept chats from multiple departments, respecting each department’s limit individually.
    • The total number of active chats (across all departments) must not exceed the configured Agent-Level or Global limit.
    • If neither the Agent-Level nor Global Limit is set, only department-specific limits apply.
    • If no limits are set at any level, there is no restriction on the number of chats an agent can handle.
