Improvements

  • Moved the User Menu and the Help button to the bottom-left corner of the Project sidebar
  • Added the Error Handling section to the Think Node to control how Think Node errors are managed within a Flow
  • Added the ability to send attachments to Genesys Open Messaging when using Webchat v2 or v3 Endpoints. Note that captions are not supported
  • Upgraded the mongodb dependency used by Mongo Nodes to v6. Now, MongoDB Nodes are compatible with MongoDB 3.6 or later versions
  • Added the Handover Already in Progress status to the Handover Status in the Lookup Node. This status is applicable only to the Genesys Cloud Open Messaging handover provider

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the issue where the lexicon slots API response did not match the expected result
  • Fixed the issue where the Live Agent session is not terminated when the user password is changed or deprecated
  • Fixed the issue where the Genesys Cloud Open Messaging conversation handover ended when a human agent declined to handle the conversation
  • Fixed the issue in the Question Node where adding two channels, AI and Voice Gateway, resulted in the original question text remaining unchanged for the AI channel but changing for the Voice Gateway channel
  • Fixed the issue where the Merge Profile Node randomly merged profiles before the update
  • Fixed the issue where NLU training would fail if the training took longer than 30 minutes when using RabbitMQ version 3.8.15 or higher. This issue is resolved for RabbitMQ versions 3.12.0 and above. It is not fixable for RabbitMQ versions between 3.8.15 and 3.12.0

Bug Fixes

Cognigy Webchat

Released October 29th, 2024

Improvements

  • Updated Webchat v3 to v3.7.0

xApps

Released October 29th, 2024

Improvements

  • Added a general agent-friendly serialization of xApps JSON objects. This improvement helps human agents using Genesys Cloud Open Messaging, RingCentral Engage, and Chatwoot read xApps output in a simplified format instead of raw JSON. In the new format, the JSON syntax is replaced with nested bulleted lists, allowing agents who are unfamiliar with JSON notation to quickly understand the information

AI Copilot

Released October 29th, 2024

Improvements

  • Improved by removing the need to inject the AI Copilot SDK into a script tag. It is now injected automatically, allowing direct use of SDK.postback(payload). For more information, go to the Copilot: IFrame Tile and Copilot: HTML Tile Nodes

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the issue where HTML was re-rendering in upcoming updates, even when the content remained unchanged. Now, HTML only re-renders in response to metadata changes

Cognigy Live Agent

Released October 29th, 2024

  • Fixed the issue where resolved conversations were unassigned when a human agent was removed from the inbox
  • Fixed the issue preventing inbox deletion when its conversations were created with skills
  • Fixed the issue that allowed human agents to receive new conversations even when they had pending or snoozed ones exceeding the limit
  • Fixed the issue of conversations being automatically assigned to online agents outside the inbox

Cognigy Insights

Released October 29th, 2024

Improvements

  • Improved by showing an ID in a tooltip for Endpoint and Snapshot filters

Infrastructure

Traefik

We have updated Traefik, the Kubernetes Ingress Controller, to improve functionality and address known security vulnerabilities in the dependencies of Cognigy.AI, Insights, Live Agent, and Voice Gateway. This update brings Traefik to version 3.1.6 and includes the latest Helm Chart for Traefik, reflecting our commitment to continuous improvement.

The products Cognigy.AI, Insights, and Live Agent will be updated within the Cognigy.AI installation, but to update Voice Gateway, you need to repeat the same steps only for the Voice Gateway installation.

Note that the Cognigy products and related connections, including Webchat and WebSocket connections, will be terminated and unavailable during the update. We recommend upgrading to the 4.88 release during low-traffic hours.

Pre-Installation Tasks

Before installing the Helm Chart, follow these steps:

  1. Deploy the latest CRDs of Traefik by executing the following command:

    kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -k "https://github.com/traefik/traefik-helm-chart/traefik/crds/?ref=v32.1.1"
    
  2. In the new Traefik Helm Chart, the traefik.ports.<port_name>.expose configuration previously took a boolean as input but now takes a map as input. If you have modified traefik.ports.<port_name>.expose in your local values.yaml file, update it accordingly.

For more detailed information, refer to the official release notes provided by Traefik.

Post-Installation Tasks

After installing the release, clean up the deprecated CRDs of Traefik by using the following command:

kubectl delete crds \
ingressroutes.traefik.containo.us \
ingressroutetcps.traefik.containo.us \
ingressrouteudps.traefik.containo.us \
middlewares.traefik.containo.us \
middlewaretcps.traefik.containo.us \
serverstransports.traefik.containo.us \
tlsoptions.traefik.containo.us \
tlsstores.traefik.containo.us \
