Feature Cold chat transfer Agents can do a "cold transfer" for a chat. With a cold chat transfer, the agent assigns a chat session to a new agent or a queue, and then immediately leaves the chat without waiting for the new agent to join. This helps agents efficiently transfer chats without being bound to them. For more information, see Transfer a Chat. Feature Support for partial response in Dialogflow CCAI Platform supports the partial response option in Dialogflow. This is particularly useful when the virtual agent needs to call a webhook that will likely take a while to run. With partial response enabled, Dialogflow can immediately send an initial fulfillment message to the end-user, such as, "One moment while I look that up." This way, while the webhook runs and the final fulfillment message is generated, the end-user expects a short wait instead of assuming that there is a problem. For information about configuring this capability in Dialogflow, see Partial response for streaming API. Feature Added new response fields for indicating agent availability to the manager/api/v1/agents/current_status and apps/api/v1/wait_times APIs. These indicate the number of assigned agents, logged-in agents, available agents, and breakthrough agents. Fixed Fixed an issue that prevented copying an IVR menu structure.
