In the background, we have switched from one database type to another, making the bots and the platform a lot faster. We will gradually move bots to this new database, so it might take a few weeks for your bot to enjoy the performance benefits.
A lot of customers use bots in different parts of their organization. They have both a bot to help support their customers, as well as an internal HR bot. Often, these bots process sensitive information that should only be accessible by the team building that specific bot. That's why we have introduced team member roles & bot access.
Enterprise customers can now restrict bots to only be accessible by certain team members. Furthermore, you can set a team member as "read-only" so they can see how the bot is configured, but not change anything.
Read all about how to use team member roles & bot access:
We released new types of entities. You can find all information about them here:
Save a copy of your bot in an export. Exporting a bot will result in a JSON file that you can download to your computer.
This JSON file can be imported again to overwrite a bot with the data that is in the JSON file. Read more here:
