Shared by LeighAnne • April 14, 2022

With our latest release we have improved the reporting available for Articles. A new section called “Search results” shows you what keywords your customers are searching for and how often, the click through rate and average number of articles returned for each keyword, and the performance of those articles. Improvements to the “Article engagement section” now show you the performance of an article over time, positive and neutral reactions in addition to negative reactions, and viewing improvements like filters and toggling between numbers or percentages.

We’ve released a new version of the Content Stats Export API

Shared by Sonia • March 30, 2022

Why was this change made?

The old version did not support exporting stats related to our new product Surveys as well as Product Tours and Series. With this new version, workspaces can export the performance of outbound messages, bots, and surveys!

What does this mean for me?

Bots
