The summary payload is returned in the requested language, enabling easy localization, and can also be forwarded to a webhook for further processing. This capability helps reduce agent handling time, improves context sharing across teams and systems, and enables seamless integration of conversation insights into external workflows such as CRM updates, analytics, and quality monitoring.

.png){height="" width=""}
Flow Builders can now duplicate the published version of an AI Agent, allowing easy modification and testing without affecting the currently published version.
To duplicate a flow, click the **three-dot menu** at the end of the line and select **Duplicate**.
The original name is preserved, with a timestamp added to the duplicate, ensuring both the original and the copy appear next to each other in the list of AI Agents.
Email Customers' Requested Feature
Enhancement – Email Snippet
{height="" width=""}
Agents can now view a snippet of the most recent message in email conversations, improving efficiency and providing better context. Snippets of unread messages are displayed in bold, even if another agent has already replied, ensuring each agent clearly sees their own unread items and avoiding confusion.
Note that images and HTML tags are not supported in the snippets. All content is converted to plain text.
Campaigns Customers' Requested Feature
Enhancement – Channel-Based Campaign Permissions
{height="" width=""}
Organizations can now segment the **Campaigns Metrics** page based on channel permissions, enabling each department to focus exclusively on its own campaign activities. This eliminates the need to review irrelevant data and ensures that departments retain full control over their campaign information.
To restrict agents’ access to only the channels they are permitted to view, admins must enable the **Campaigns > View Overview and Metrics by channels permissions**.
To grant agents the same visibility as admins, enable **Admin Permissions > Campaigns Overview and Metrics**.
Channels Customers' Requested Feature
Enhancement – Channel Transfer Permissions
{height="" width=""}
Organizations can now restrict access to channels by blocking the ability to route/transfer conversations to specific channels. With this enhancement, agents can only view channels for which they are authorized, rather than all the organization’s channels. This improves operational efficiency, reduces routing errors, and helps maintain compliance by ensuring conversations are handled only by the appropriate teams.

Permissions Customers' Requested Feature
Enhancement – Editing User’s Details
{height="" width=""}
The existing admin permission for managing agents has been split into two permissions to provide finer access control and reduce unnecessary exposure to sensitive user data. The original permission now focuses on basic agent management, including roles, teams, permission profiles, and areas of expertise.
A new permission, **Edit User Details**, is required to edit agent profile information such as profile picture, name, email address, username, phone number, password resets, and enforcing a password change at the next login, allowing organizations to grant this capability only to users who truly need it.

Dynamics Integration SAP V2 Integration
Enhancement – CRM Click-to-call
{height="" width=""}
Agents using **Dynamics 365** or **SAP V2** can now click a customer’s phone number to automatically open the CommBox iFrame in Compose, with the number prefilled and ready for an outbound call. This enhancement complements the existing Salesforce capability, extending click-to-call functionality across all major CRMs.
