Ensure confidentiality with Confidential Cards


Confidential Cards—a type of Active Card—enable customers to provide sensitive information (e.g., credit card numbers) while shielding it from agent view.

  • Build trust, improve customer satisfaction, and boost resolution rates.

  • Assign any active card as a confidential card.

Enable conversation designers to map two nodes


With connector node, an enhancement to the self-serve conversation builder, conversation designers can map two nodes.

  • Improve bot containment by giving customers a seamless, self-serve experience.
  • Enable customers to use a single, intuitive command to return to the main menu, go to a predefined previous step, or jump from one journey to another.


Create more humanlike bots


This Global Menu enhancement enables customers to navigate menus with simple verbal or text commands.

  • Delight customers with improved bot interactivity.
  • The bot recognizes already-provided information and detects when information is missing, asks clarifying questions, and continues the dialog through a capability called slot filling.
  • Customers can go back to the main or previous menus even as they converse with the bot.


Create channel-native bot experiences


Dynamic Adaptive Content, a new feature, enables you to create bots that are native to specific channels such as Messages by Google and Apple Messages for Business.

  • Enable customers to enjoy a rich and consistent channel experience.
  • Ensure the content (e.g. text, images, links), menu, and overall experience reflects the channel of interaction.


Share FAQs in multiturn bot journeys


Show customers a relevant FAQ at desired journey points as they interact with a transactional bot.

  • Support customers seamlessly mid-journey.
  • Design bot workflows in which customers launch a transactional journey after they’ve interacted with a FAQ.


Build once, deploy across sync and async channels


Create rich, visual content shared across sync and async digital channels—such as chat, Apple Messages for Business, Messages by Google, and Facebook Messenger.

  • Don’t waste time and effort developing channel-specific content.
  • Delight customers with native experiences on their preferred channels.
  • Designers now have three new content widgets:
    • Quick reply enables customers to choose a reply option.
    • List picker or carousal lets customers select an option from a list.
    • Dynamic picker or carousal enables designers to add dynamic images for rendering in the carousal.

  • Leverage the power of big data and machine learning to deliver highly personalized and dynamic digital advertising to your audiences whether they’re on Facebook or simply browsing the internet.

Platform Services

  • Resolve queries faster by enabling customers to provide visual aids for their issues.
  • Configure image types and sizes per channel; the feature supports standard image file types.


Improve bot adoption through continuous optimization


Build, test, and refine AI and natural-language model performance with Model Workbench, a self-serve platform capability, to understand where your bots fall short and how to improve them.

  • Drive continuous optimization to avoid abandoned conversations and escalations to human agents.
  • Improve bot accuracy by leveraging the enhanced classification model, built into Model Workbench, which automatically normalizes highly variable customer utterances.
  • Stay on top of key data points such as F-score, accuracy, and changes made by your team to different versions of the available models.

Enhanced Reporting


Uncover self-serve IVR insights


Address key IVR channel use cases with new reports: Voice interaction report for outcomes and details; voice interaction intent report for insights into identified customer intents, escalations, and resolutions; and dialog, task, and API reports for insights into call flow.
