We updated the design of our quick replies widget when using a multiple-choice question!
We heard your feedback on our quick replies widget and updated the design to use the format selected for your multiple-choice object on your widget! Which are:
There was an issue with our conditional logic when trying to use a variable that contained an apostrophe '. The rules would be rendered as false. This has been fixed and should work as expected.
When adding a youtube link to your video object, if the URL contained parameters, the video would not be displayed. This has been fixed and should work as expected.
We fixed a small bug where hitting enter after typing the value would remove the entry field.
We also updated our calendar settings page to help make it easier to use. We removed the tabs for each section and added a sticky nav to help you quickly find the information you want.
We have added a new Set variable values object! This lets you update variables during your conversation without having to capture the data from the lead!
You select the variables you want to update, then you add the values that you want to update it with.
Then once a visitor reaches the object in your conversation, the variables will be updated and nothing will be shown to your visitor!
Previously, when you type out a response to a lead but move to another chat before sending that message, you would lose it one you returned. We have updated this so that when you type out a response and don't send it, it will remain their until you either send or remove it.
Previously our live chat email notification could create a lot of noise in your inbox as a new email could be sent for each new live chat message. We have updated this so you get an email for the first message straight away and then any follow up live chat messages will be batched together in one email. This will reduce the noise of multiple emails but also still give you an instant notification for you to respond to your leads quickly.
PReviously when the Continually live chat app was running in the foreground, The notifications would not be appearing. We have fixed this so the notifications appear when Continually is running in the foreground and in the background.
There was a bug that was causing our leads columns to misaligned from their labels. We have fixed this and they should be aligned as expected.
There was an issue with our appointment question not displaying correctly on the bot builder preview (not live bots). This issue has been fixed and should appear as expected.
There was a bug that prevented conditional logic from matching a variable when that variable contained a special symbol like ä. This has been fixed and should work as expected.
You can now set your company's working hours so your visitors will see when your online or offline regardless of your availability status!
Previously, we checked across your team's status' to determine whether your company was online or offline. This required you to be signed in for us to check your status.
Now, in your availability settings, you can set your company's working hours so you don't have to be signed into Continually to appear online!
Set company's days & hours available

Previously, when an appointment was made with a customer, we would trigger an appointment email straight away. The problem was if you used variables in your confirmation email, there was not enough time to get the stored answers. So we added a slight delay to give enough time to get the answers stored in any variables used.
When there is no answer stored for a variable we will display your set fallback answer. The problem was that there was a bug that was preventing any fallback answers from being shown in the preview. This has been fixed and fallback answers should appear as expected.
There was a bug that was preventing the symbols äöü to be added to the appointment email subjects. This has been fixed.
There was a bug with our External API object that was hiding the option to store the answer in a variable. This has been fixed and the option will now be available.
There was an issue with the preview for the quick replies widget when using a multiple-choice object. The preview would require you to select an answer on the widget then select the answer again for a second time once the sidebar had opened. This has been fixed and should work after selecting an answer once.
