👷Now upon registration or login attempt to Blinger.io the occasional spaces at the beginning or at the end won't have an effect upon the action being performed
👷 Now the operators are able to see the activity statuses (online/offline) of each other. It's a very useful "feature", when you need to re-assign a conversation to another operator. The activity statuses of the operators are available in:
menu for reassignment of a conversation
filter by operators
tab "All conversations"

September 5, 2019 - v.1.0.3619
🤖 Developed a filter by operators in "Conversations" tab, which will be convenient for the administrator or supervisor of customer support to filter the conversations real-time, by selecting a specific operator from the list. Documentation is available at the following link: https://help.blinger.io/documentation/conversations/conversation-filter
🤖 Developed assignment of conversations with a customer to a specific operator. As in some companies customers are assigned to specific managers. If the customer contacts the company, the message request gets assigned to a specific operator. Hence, the customer always knows who to contact if questions arise. Documentation is available at the following link: https://help.blinger.io/documentation/conversations/end-user-assignment-to-an-operator

👷♂️ Developed an option, which lets you set up the sequence of message requests display (in "Unassigned" section) and messages (in "My inbox" section). The option can be defined in "Settings" section, tab "General". For example, if you activate "Start from old messages in "Unassigned" tab", message requests will be displayed from old to new depending on the time when they were received. It's convenient to use this option to sort out through the message requests which were in the queue for the longest time.

📣 On March 27 of this year we developed the "Custom App" integration (it can be found in "Apps" module). Custom app lets you, for example, connect your chatbots, 3rd party online-chats (for example, from a mobile app), and etc. This week Blinger.io together with Spotware Systems Ltd. (an award-winning fintech company which develops software for brokers) released an integration with their cTrader Live Chat on the base of Custom App, which allows to add cTrader Live Chat as one of the channels at Blinger.io. What's the purpose of the integration? Now every trader on cTrader platform can contact his broker directly from the platform's terminal, while every broker can offer their customers multiple channels via which the traders can contact them and unify all the message requests in one interface of Blinger.io.
🐞 Fixed a bug in Twitter integration functionality - direct messages weren't functioning properly.
🐞 Fixed a bug which didn't let make changes to the autoresponder settings from a regular account, which had settings management permissions.
🐞 Fixed a bug with deletion of an agent - when deleting an agent there were 2 messages displayed (about successful deletion and about being unable to delete the account).
June 13, 2019 - v.1.0.2419
🤖 Made messaging API a part of our interface (which wasn't the case before 🙁). It will allow to connect to Blinger.io third-party solutions, for example, universal chat bots (another name "IVR-bots") or integrate any SaaS solution with Blinger.io, in which you need to realize the possibility of customer support in messaging apps, social networks, e-mail or live chat. Examples of such integrations, which we realized ourselves: Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, Kayako and etc. Messaging API documentation is available at the following link.
👷♂️ Improved integration with Freshdesk. Now in the Subject of a message request a part of the first message of the message request is displayed. Before in the Subject was displayed, for example, the following text "New conversation #[number]".
👷♂️ Improved stability of the integration with WhatsApp.
👷♂️ Changed the time format in messages. Before, if a message was sent within 24 hours, it had the following time format: "13 hours ago". Now the format looks as follows: "13 June 2019, 15:34:16".
🐞 Fixed a bug with display of edited end-user name. There was the following error before - the edited name was displayed in all Blinger.io accounts in which the end-user had written via one of the channels.
🐞 Fixed a bug with incorrect display of agent's name. The agent used to see the e-mail of super administrator in conversations with the customer, who sent a message a message request via WhatsApp.
