Tailor workflows based on team's capacity ⚡️

Nick avatar
Shared by Nick • August 08, 2023

You can now direct conversations in workflows based on whether or not your team has the capacity to deal with them.

For example, if everyone within a team has a conversation assigned to them, you could direct Fin to automatically step in and help manage the workload.

This can be applied as a filter on the workflow trigger or can be used in a branch to split conversations.

Manage external participants and conversation history for emails ✨

Pranava avatar
Shared by Pranava • July 20, 2023

Reduce duplicate conversations with updates that help you manage external participants and conversation history for emails.

Managing external participant replies

All new replies created (even from external participants like bcc'ed users) will be added to the same conversation thread.

Additionally, when external participants reply, teammates can add them as participants or ignore them thereby not changing the overall list of participants associated with a conversation.

When teammates have added someone as a participant, the reply will continue being tagged with an option to edit participants.


Manage conversation history

Admins now have the ability to manage conversation history by visiting Settings > Email > Other settings > Remove conversation history from message threads.

When this setting is ON:

  • Teammates will not be able to see conversation history in the composer.
  • End users will not see historical context that gets added to the reply.

When this setting is OFF:

  • Teammates will be able to see conversation history in the composer. They can delete the history for every reply they draft and send.
  • End users will also be able to see the historical context of a teammate's reply, which will depend on whether the teammate has chosen to retain or delete it.

Set hard limits for Fin resolutions

Julia avatar
Shared by Julia • July 18, 2023

It’s easier than ever to stay ahead of your Fin spend with usage limits. Once a pre-defined resolution limit is reached Fin’s AI answers will be automatically disabled and your team will be notified in-app.

When this limit is reached Fin will follow your pre-defined handover preferences and, importantly, any Custom Answers for Fin will continue to work as normal.

This update complements our existing Fin usage notifications feature—released in June—which can be used alongside hard limits to trigger email notifications when limits are reached.
