We’ve simplified the message creation flow to make it easier for teams to launch new visitor and user auto messages.

The most notable changes are:

  1. Channel selection is now done upfront followed by the message composer so that you can immediately focus on the content of your message first.
  2. New steps for Scheduling (start/stop times) and Delivery (time on page, URL targeting, etc) have been created so that all relevant features live under the same step.

We’ve also introduced a few new improvements that provide more flexibility and customizability to your messages:

  • You can now set multiple URL targeting rules for User auto messages and with more conditions such as ‘does not contain’, ‘starts with’, and ‘ends with’.
  • Start and Stop times are now included for Visitor Auto Messages in the Scheduling step
  • Stop date can now be customized and is determined by the workspace’s timezone (instead of being locked at GMT).
