Exact delivery dates may vary, and brands may therefore not have immediate access to all features on the date of publication. Please contact your LivePerson account team for the exact dates on which you will have access to the features.

WhatsApp Business Connector

Features

WhatsApp is introducing Business Search functionality within WhatsApp Client App.

WhatsApp’s Businesses Search functionality will initially and gradually roll out to four markets (Colombia, Mexico, Indonesia and the UK) from October 7th. Ahead of the launch, all eligible businesses (Official Business Accounts and Verified Business Accounts) will be automatically set to a “visible” status.

WhatsApp Business search offers businesses an opportunity to be discovered on WhatsApp. This feature lets WhatsApp users search for businesses and start a conversation with well-known brands without leaving WhatsApp.

The feature only displays official business accounts and verified business accounts that have not opted out of being visible in business search results.

Brands onboarded to WhatsApp using self-service can opt-out by visiting the WhatsApp manager UI and updating the "Search Visibility" flag next to the phone number. For brands that haven't gone through self-service and can't see the option to opt out, a ticket will need to be created here.

Business accounts registered outside eligible markets will not be visible to a user. For more information please visit following: WhatsApp Business Search.




  • This feature is currently only available to users in Colombia, Mexico, Indonesia and the UK.
  • This feature is currently only available on Android.


Analytics Builder

Features

Auto selection of sub-groups in group filter

Up until now, when selecting specific groups in the group filter, only the groups selected were retrieved. Hence, users needed to manually check all the groups of the hierarchy in case they would like to view the data of the groups including their sub-groups. 

As of this version, a new checkbox “Auto select sub-groups” has been added next to the group filter.

By selecting this checkbox, all sub-groups will be automatically added to the filter once you select a specific group. 

In its default state, the checkbox is unchecked, hence selecting a specific group will only check the selected group (same as of now).

Example: Checking the box and selecting “Group A” will automatically select groups “Group A1” and “Group A11”, which are the subgroups of “Group A”. The hierarchy in this example is A>A1>A11.

  • By default, the ‘Auto select’ checkbox will be unselected.
  • The checkbox will be added automatically whenever the group filter is used, in predefined or custom dashboards. 
  • The capability is limited to filter of type “checkbox” only and is not available for other types, such as radio buttons, free text etc.
