New

Starting from scratch... not if we have a template for that!

Starting from templates functionality is now available to help users by giving them a quick start option when starting a new scenario! This has been something we've been working on for a while and we've now made it available in the product. The SaaS version currently includes two templates - FAQ and Product Chooser - and there will be more coming soon.

Expandable breadcrumbs

We have implemented new expandable breadcrumbs which will allow a user to quickly and easily drill down into a scenario (and its components). This breadcrumb appears in both the message editor and the designer with a consistent experience across both. #270

Improvements

• Global loading screen #414

This patch release fixes for the 1.7.0 release with the following issues:

Fixes

• moves the visualiser routes into the admin namespace #409

We're really pleased to announce that this weeks' release includes two big new features; firstly our conversation visualiser which aims to help bring to life what's happening under the hood of OpenDialog and secondly, the addition of Amazon Lex as an NLU integration. Go check them out and let us know what you think.

New

Bringing to life what's happening under the hood of OpenDialog.

As part of the last release, we announced we had released the Infrastructure to enable users to preview conversation logs. Well, now you can see the logs within the UI whilst testing your scenario within the 'Preview' screen. This super powerful feature will help with understanding exactly what decisions the OpenDialog conversation engine has made and why. Enabling you to resolve issues or add new parts to your conversation to handle unplanned situations. #248

Lex Interpreter

As we expand our integration with the leading NLU providers, we're pleased to announce that you can now work with Amazon Lex as an option for your NLU provider OR as part of a suite of NLU integration within OpenDialog. #259 / #569 / #570 / #571

Improved

Visualising Transitions and Completing Intents

As part of a drive to make it easier for you to more easily see what's happening within a scenario. We've now made it easier for you to see which parts of the conversations have transitions from/to them and which intents complete the conversation. #254

Revamp of the message editor and intents

We had made a number of enhancements to the message editor UI experience and the intent screens too.

• Updated Intent overview screen #262
• Message overview improvements #263
• Add new message button on the intent third panel #252
• Add duplicate action on the intent overview screen #261
• New intent card look and feel #253

To compare all the changes since the last release tag, see here: 1.7.0

This patch release fixes for the 1.6.0 release with the following issues:

Fixes

• Adds new message button back in #408
• Ensure edit intent panel is closed when editing turn #256
• Updating scenario from designer view doesn't send description with PUT request #257

To compare all the changes since the last release tag, see here: 1.6.1

This release focuses on new improvements based on some recent feedback from some core users. This focused on two areas; giving users the ability to start building a scenario from a base example (Templates) and enabling them to keep context when switching between the design & the message editor.

New

Starting from scratch? Why not start from a template to speed things up!

We've introduced the ability to set up templates within the application so that user can start their application from a preset list of templates. #246

Context switching even easier

We've added a new way for conversation designers to jump from the Designers into the Message Editor (and back again) without having to lose context of where they were working. We've also introduced as part of this the ability to easily 'edit messages' from within a single intent. #244 / #247

Other new updates:

• Infrastructure to enable users to preview conversation logs (Front end to come in the next release) #405
• Firing message event /incoming/webchat response metadata #339

Improved

• Design updates to warning modal #251
• Adding list of message template IDs to scene resources #403

Fixes

• Allowing scenario duplication and from-template creation to alter the description #404
• Adding turn data to transition data client queries #565
• Ensuring that Intent.getMessageTemplates can return null #568

To compare all the changes since the last release tag, see here: 1.6.0

This small hotfix release includes fixes for the following issues:

Fixes

• Fixes an issue where users were unable to add a transition on creating an intent for the first time 13b45f1

As we continue with our focus on improving the UI experience throughout the product for our users; this release brings in some neat updates across the interface settings page, improved signposting throughout the product to our tutorials along with some updates to help with visibility around transitions. Go check them out!

New

Watch it happen in real-time - Webchat look & feel updates.

We have introduced a number of updates into the interface settings screen to make it easier for you to preview, in real-time, the changes you make to the OpenDialog webchat. It's a really neat feature to help you create the perfect branded webchat for your organisation. #235

Where am I transitioning to?

Adding metadata to the API endpoints describing conversation objects to include information describing incoming and outgoing transitions. This functionality provides the basis for showing users when a conversation object has an incoming transition to it and also when an intent points to another place in the conversation model. #401

Come give one of our tutorials a go!

Our tutorials are a great starting point to help you learn how to use OpenDialog. As so, we've added some more signposting throughout the product to help you to be successful whilst utilising the product. These can be found on the creation page and in the lefthand navigation #399 #241

Improved

• Adding a list of message template IDs to all intent responses to ensure that all API responses returning intents include references to the message templates used. #400
• Updates the look and feel of the Action component to bring it in line with the Behaviour component. #236
• Remove Need Help header from the sidebar #240
• Changing duplicate icons #242
• New icon font files and styles #239

To compare all the changes since the last release tag, see here: 1.4.0

This release includes two minor security updates and the initial implementation of an API to support templates for OpenDialog scenarios. To enable templates we've also updated the scenario import / export to include configurations and provide the ability to create new scenarios from templates. This release does not yet include the supporting UI which will follow in the coming months.

New

• Scenario create from / duplication endpoints #391
• Templates (data) #390
• Including configurations in scenario import & export #389

Fixes

• Bump axios from 0.21.1 to 0.21.2 #396
• Bump prismjs from 1.24.0 to 1.25.0 #395

This small hotfix resolves two issues; one related to the conversation player and the other connected to LUIS entities.

Fixes

• Conversation player fix: Ensures that the links for each intent work consistently - there was a bug in which a completing intent, or intent with a scene transition, would not generate a usable link (#560)
• LUIS entity fixes: Ensuring that the canonical entity value is used if available (#561)

New

Token based auth for webchat endpoint

These changes provide the ability to understand a bit better who's accessing your webchat endpoints through the use of a managed, generated token. It also provides an event that is dispatched when a user makes a request to the webchat endpoint that can be used to capture basic analytics.

#382

This is a continuation of the IA improvements to improve the user experience within the platform - this specifically focuses on updates to the configurations (actions and interpreters) and platform configuration (Interface settings).

New

Actions, Interpreters & Interface settings associated with a single Scenario

Following the recent updates to the IA, we have now moved actions, interpreters and interface settings to now be associated with a single Scenario rather than each being globally available to all Scenarios. For example, this will enable you to run multiple applications, each with its own interface settings, from one instance of OpenDialog.

Configurations scoped by scenario (#376, #380, #386, #551, #550, #548 ) and Platform configuration (#385, #388, #336, #337, #557)

Improvements

• Cookies removed from webchat endpoints (#383, #555, #335)

Fixes

• Fix for intent creation to always respect turn cadence
