Let\u2019s take a look at some of the top releases of the past few months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/help\/en\/articles\/3458713-introducing-outbound-home-of-messages-and-product-tours?utm_source=beamer&amp;utm_medium=standalone&amp;utm_campaign=New-home-for-outbound-messages-and-improvements-to-message-creation-and-organization&amp;utm_content=textlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Introducing Outbound <\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nThere are a lot of different ways to interact with your visitors and customers using Intercom, and we know from your feedback that sometimes it could be hard to choose the most appropriate variety of message to use. That&#8217;s why we made a number of changes and updates to make everything much more intuitive for you.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote-style-two\"><p>&#8220;Messages is now called Outbound because it\u2019s home to more than just messages&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Most significantly, Messages is now called Outbound because it\u2019s home to more than just messages. For instance, this is where you will now find Product Tours. Operator and Reports have moved to the main group of options in the left menu, so the features you use most often are all together in one place. Your outbound content is now grouped by type as well, so you can view tours and messages together for a clear picture of what you send your users.<\/p>\n<p>There are no longer \u201cvisitor auto messages\u201d or \u201cuser auto messages.\u201d\u00a0 Auto messages are now simply called \u201congoing messages,\u201d and manual messages are called \u201cone-off messages.\u201d Just create your message, and then select the types of people you\u2019d like to receive it under \u201cChoose your audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You will also notice that the sidebar and menu has been updated to create an easy-to-navigate, consolidated Outbound home. This update brings your outbound content into a single place, makes it easier to send tours and messages, and offers more flexibility in how you organize your content.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22414 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/OutboundHome.jpg\" alt=\"Intercom Outbound home\" width=\"1600\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/OutboundHome.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/OutboundHome-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/OutboundHome-700x293.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/OutboundHome-768x321.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/OutboundHome-1536x642.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/OutboundHome-600x251.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/OutboundHome-1400x585.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And finally, organization is key, so folders have been upgraded to tags. Instead of putting messages and tours in a folder, you can simply tag them. Plus, a single tour or message can have multiple tags, instead of being limited to a single folder. This allows you more flexibility to organize your outbound content.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bot-updates\"><strong>Bot updates<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As well as making your Outbound home more intuitive and streamlined, we also made a ton of updates to our bot capabilities in recent months.
