With anchor links, you can now add links to multiple sections of articles in your Help Center, making it easier to direct customers to specific information.
Simply copy the anchor link while you’re in the editor and paste it wherever you’d like - they can be used in-product, on your website, or even in other articles.
You can even use the article inserter to send customers to specific article sections in conversations.
Visit our help center to learn how to get started.
Introducing no-reply post messages! You can now set whether your Posts can be responded to with text or emoji reactions, or prevent replies altogether.
Setting your reply type to None will result in small or large Post messages messages that do not give your audience an option to respond. Use this format for product announcements, proactive support messages, and more, when a response isn’t needed.
To use this feature in your mobile app, you must have the latest version of our mobile SDKs.

You can now test up to five different message types, message content, CTAs, timing, and more in Series. Simply add a split test block in a Series to get started.
From there, add a goal (this can be different from the broader Series or message goals) and choose how many people should go to each test.
Create the varying messages, and set your Series live ✅
When you accrue enough data to determine the most effective path, select the winner, and any new users that enter the Series will only flow through that winning path.
Get started with Series here or learn more about split testing in this article.
Remembering to update your iOS push certificates each year can be tricky. You can now switch to using a .p8 certificate instead, which doesn’t expire every 12 months. Once you make the switch, there’s no need to worry about upgrading again.

Starting today, you can keep sensitive information secure by limiting which conversations a teammate can access in the inbox.
You can set conversation access in two ways. First, at the teammate level by manually restricting conversations to a subset of teams or teammates. Or you can set this permission in bulk using Custom roles.
To learn more about customizing your permissions, see our help doc.
We’re rolling out new features that will give you more coverage from Resolution Bot. All of our Resolution Bot customers will automatically have access to the following features as part of an open beta:
1. Resolve more conversations with Looping mode - Resolution Bot will now attempt to answer multiple questions within the same conversation as the default setting for new customers. End users will still be able to connect with a teammate by clicking the “Talk to a person” quick-reply button. Looping can be turned off in Operator settings.
2. Surface articles where answers don’t exist - The Articles Suggestions task bot (existing feature) will now be able to respond to customer questions if an answer hasn’t already been created. Article suggestions task bot and Looping must be turned on for this feature to work.
3. Auto-close option (Looping only)- If a conversation has been inactive for 3 minutes or more, customers can choose to either automatically close a conversation or route it to a team member. The default setting will be to route to a team member, but you can update this in Operator settings.
4. Better understand your Resolution Bot performance with The Resolution Bot report -We've added new reporting filters, so you will now be able to see metrics for just Looping, One-Time, or both.
5. Updated reporting calculations for :
- Sent: # of conversation where the answer has been served by the Resolution Bot.
- Resolved: Among "Sent", # of conversation that ended up with a "That helped" reply or soft resolution.
- Routed to team: Among "Sent", # of conversation that ended up being routed to the team.
6. Let Resolution Bot take control when your team isn’t available with Bot Only mode- this will allow teammates to put customers into a self-serve support only mode if they choose to.
These features are expected to officially launch in the first half of next year.
