You\u2019ve added some tags, specified a timeframe of when a contact first appeared in your database, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then something important occurred and you switched to, say, auto messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, to the sad part of the story\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you return to the&nbsp;<em>\u2018All chats\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;page, all filters are gone and you have to add them once again from scratch. And that is just a waste of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here\u2019s the deal. We spent the last couple of months thinking how we could fix such minor problems which pass unnoticed by most of our users but can spoil overall experience nevertheless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why we\u2019ve added the&nbsp;<strong>autosave of all filters in&nbsp;<em>\u2018All Chats\u2019, \u2018My Chats\u2019,&nbsp;<\/em>or<em>&nbsp;\u2018Contacts\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;database tables.&nbsp;<\/strong>So if you add a few filters and then switch to other service pages, your filters won\u2019t go anywhere. They\u2019ll be waiting for you. And that is just much easier than adding them all over again every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Please note!<\/strong><\/p><p>Don\u2019t forget to reset your filters once you don\u2019t need them. Otherwise, you\u2019ll always see only filtered contacts\/chats in your list.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>So, as I said,&nbsp;for the last couple of months, the main task that our team wanted to resolve is to make your experience with HelpCrunch as pleasant as it goes. And today, we deliver all this to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/helpcrunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/5541-Ghibli_SeriesHeaders_Kiki_2000x800-1024x410.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-844\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Did we manage to achieve this goal? You tell us! ?&nbsp;Here are HelpCrunch main updates added in July and August:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chat widget updates:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If as a business you have to chat with clients speaking&nbsp;<strong>right-to-left languages<\/strong>&nbsp;(like Arabic, Hebrew or Farsi), we\u2019ve got a big update for you. You can now set up your chat to be RTL or add this option on particular pages of your website. Read more&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.helpcrunch.com\/developers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/helpcrunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/RTL-Client-Chat-1024x845.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-846\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other chat updates:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Adding private notes to a chat thread.&nbsp;<\/strong>We\u2019ve added the&nbsp;<strong><em>\u2018private notes\u2019<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;option to agent chat. While chatting with a client, you can now switch to the&nbsp;<em>\u2018<\/em><em>Notes<\/em><em>\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;tab and leave a private message for your colleagues. You can freely discuss particular issues and leave important comments. They will appear right in a chat thread but will be visible only to other support agents of your organization.<\/li><li><strong>Editing chat messages.&nbsp;<\/strong>Do you love editing messages that you\u2019ve already sent as much as I do? You can do just that from now on. You can now change ANY chat messages, but only if it hasn\u2019t been forwarded to a client via email yet.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Please note!<\/strong><\/p><p>If you have the \u2018Resend Chat Messages via Email\u2019 option turned on, you can\u2019t edit messages that were already forwarded to your client\u2019s email. Additionally, you can\u2019t change auto and manual messages that appear in a chat thread (obviously).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Saving response templates.&nbsp;<\/strong>You can now save any response right from a chat thread, no need to copy paste it into the&nbsp;<em>\u2018Saved Responses\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;page. It can be really convenient when you have to write the same answers over and over again. Now, you can save your response once and then just paste it into a chat whenever you need it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>BTW, as much as it\u2019s important to track your overall chat rating, it\u2019s also crucial to know who exactly wasn\u2019t satisfied with your chat service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why&nbsp;<strong>all the metrics in any chat report are now clickable<\/strong>&nbsp;so that you could see who exactly rated your chat and how. It\u2019s a great option for those who want to follow up on their frustrated customers, for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/helpcrunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Chat-reports-clickable-metrics-1024x423.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-855\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Which brings us to the next big part of our updates\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Auto\/manual messages updates:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, once again,&nbsp;<strong>chat metrics are now clickable, and so are the metrics in the Auto and Manual Messages\u2019 analytics<\/strong>. You can now easily check who opened, clicked and replied to your message. And not only check, but also&nbsp;<strong>export a list of these contacts as CSV or XLSX files<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/helpcrunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Manual-message-clickable-report-1024x593.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-862\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And to make your open and reply rates extraordinary, we\u2019ve added a bunch of new features that will help you set up extraordinary messages campaigns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><em>\u2018Is not\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;option to proactive chat rules.<\/strong>&nbsp;More specifically,&nbsp;<em>\u2018is not\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;filter allows you to exclude browser languages, website pages, cities and countries from your proactive chat triggers.<\/li><li><strong>New proactive chat rules.<\/strong>&nbsp;We\u2019ve also recently added some proactive chat rules like&nbsp;<em>\u2018Country\u2019,\u2018City\u2019<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>UTM<\/em>&nbsp;(source\/medium\/campaign)&nbsp;<em>tags<\/em>.<\/li><li><strong>An ability to specify an alternative for personalization attributes.<\/strong>&nbsp;When adding custom data attributes to your message, you can also specify an alternative for it.

Just go to&nbsp;<em>Settings -&gt; Website widgets -&gt; [Your widget] -&gt; \u2018Widget Customization\u2019 tab<\/em>. You can add a bunch of rules specifying where you want to show or hide your chat window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/helpcrunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/hide-chat-widget-from-certain-pages-1024x561.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-838\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, pay attention that the REST API settings take priority and cancel settings made in the HelpCrunch interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Please note!<\/strong><\/p><p>If you delete all the rules, the chat widget will disappear from all pages of your website. To avoid this, make sure to leave one rule with an asterisk (*) in it. We automatically add it as the first rule to make your life easier.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other updates to the general settings:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Chat localization based on a customer\u2019s location.<\/strong>&nbsp;We\u2019ve added the option to choose which localization will automatically appear in a chat depending on a client\u2019s browser location. Previously, you could do this only with the help of REST API, but now it\u2019s all in your settings. Also, note that the REST API settings take priority and cancel settings made in the HelpCrunch interface.<\/li><li><strong>Allow\/disallow attaching files in a client chat.<\/strong>&nbsp;If for security reasons, you don\u2019t want your clients to attach any files while chatting with support agents, you can do so now. Just go to your chat widget settings and uncheck the corresponding field. You can do this in the \u2018Widget Customization\u2019 settings.<\/li><li><strong>Agents\u2019 online statuses.<\/strong>&nbsp;If you have&nbsp;<em>\u2018admin\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>\u2018supervisor\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;rights in a HelpCrunch account, you\u2019ll enjoy this feature. You can now see which of your support agents are online and available at the moment right from the&nbsp;<em>\u2018Agents\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;section.<\/li><li><strong>Adding an email signature in HTML format.<\/strong>&nbsp;You can now set up your email signature right from the&nbsp;<em>\u2018My Account\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;section. In addition, Supervisors and Admins can do this from the&nbsp;<em>\u2018Agents\u2019<\/em>&nbsp;page as well. When specified, it will be added automatically to all your manual messages.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">iOS\/Android apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of this, we\u2019ve also updated our iOS\/Android apps and SDKs and added some great improvements to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But really, all you need to know about them is that you can now add emojis to your push notifications. And full names. No kidding. Just try it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rest API<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By popular request, we\u2019ve added tags to the User Structure. This will allow tagging chats via the REST API. For more information, see our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.helpcrunch.com\/rest-api-v1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bottom line<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you will enjoy our new features as much as I enjoy using emojis whenever I can (and you better believe me, I love emojis!). Do you have any ideas of what else we could add to the HelpCrunch service? We\u2019d love to hear them, so feel free to leave them in the comments section or just hit the chat button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it\u2019s emoji time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine this\u2026 You\u2019ve been doing some filtering job with your contacts.
