Enhancements

Outbound Reporting API now supports filtering by message status, i.e. read, failed, and includes consumer Id as an additional attribute in the response payload. 

Two new enhancements for the Transactions API (Outbound Reporting):

• Get transactions based on the message status, such as get only messages that have failed or read or conversation exists. 
• The response payload for Transactions API will now include a new attribute "consumerID". This consumer Id is the consumer's phone number for SMS and WhatsApp channel. Please contact LivePerson to enable this "consumerId" attribute. 

For further details on these enhancements, refer here.

Line Connector - Secure Form opens in the default browser of the device

When an agent shares a Secure Form with a consumer on the Line Messenger, the default behaviour of the Line app is to open it in an embedded web view. Unfortunately, this web view is not supported by the Unified Window due to certain limitations. In order to continue to allow brands to use Secure Forms on Line Messenger, the Secure Form will now open in the default browser of the device (usually Chrome on Android / Safari on iOS).
