Engage Digital Surveys Expiry delay
We’ve added the ability to set a Survey link expiration delay for Engage Digital Surveys. Once the expiration delay passes, respondents will see a message that the survey is no longer open.

We’ve extended the survey richlink webview feature to Facebook Messenger. If you turn this on, your clients can respond to the survey directly in their Facebook messenger window.
Facebook recommendations (Beta)
We’ve added support for Facebook recommendations. Agents can now engage with Facebook users who have left recommendations for your business (if enabled for your Facebook page). You can turn on this option in your Engage Digital Facebook channel settings.
This feature is currently in Beta testing. Contact your account manager if you want to be a part of any beta program.

Admins can access this feature in Admin > AI tools > Virtual agents > Configuration > Virtual agent trigger dropdown.

WhatsApp credit now displays in Admin settings. You can track your remaining credits, monthly costs, and Free-Tier conversations within Engage Digital.
