News is getting better and better

News in Messages:

• More flexible message triggers: Use a single trigger to display a message across a range of site addresses with placeholder URLs, which are now supported in the Conditional Launcher types Certain URL and Recently Viewed.

  For example, if you want to show a single message to every visitor who sees your price page after reading your blog posts about product updates * Wildcard characters can match any blog page. B. www.mywebsite.com/blog/product-updates/*, You do not have to add every single post as a trigger!

  

• Offer more context: If you choose the Go To URL or Open Article actions, you can now choose to show a clickable preview of the destination website or product instead of the usual button.

  

• Smarter automation: If a customer contacts your team after a message has been displayed, we will now record that information in the beacon activity timeline. You can now create workflows by using a "note-in" rule to search for the name of this beacon and automate actions such as categorizing or sending a follow-up response.

• Retrieve messages in the following order: Decide which message to show first by using the new drag sort feature in your message list (it will be displayed to the customer in top-to-bottom order).

  

• Display a message several times: Have you ever been offered help in a shop, no thanks, but later really needed, just to find out that the staff were nowhere to be found? Usually, messages can only be fired once for each person. In some cases, however, it would be helpful to retrigger the same message. Good news!

Until this month: Alisonand wrote from Nashville, TN.

One of my small but powerful favorite features of Help Scout is After talks, Support is about learning every day and how can you learn better than others in your team?

Have you ever seen a conversation in your inbox that you do not know the answer to? Or one who is just curious about how someone else on your team deals with it? Follow the conversation and you will be notified either in Help Scout or by email when responding to this conversation.

I use the episodes feature to get information about specific areas of our app that I do not feel very strong about, and how my teammates deal with things without having to confuse or memorize myself to what conversations they lead go back and search later.

Even after almost a year at Help Scout, I'm still following at least one conversation a day. There is always something to learn and the simple act of following a conversation can do a lot!
