Now you can set display conditions for each app on your Messenger home screen for more granular targeting. For example, you could show specific apps based on:

  • Page URL to highlight relevant apps in context.
  • Locale or browser language so customers only see apps in their language.
  • Attributes such as company size.

Measure the impact of Product Tours with Goals πŸ“πŸŽ―

You can now set goals for Product Tours to understand their performance. A goal can be any event or change to a user attribute, enabling you to know how many people took a desired action after receiving your tour.

You can set a time limit for goal attribution as well, so you'll only count a goal being reached if it happens within 1 day, 3 days, 7 days or 30. Setting a shorter time limit for simpler goals will help you know the actual impact of the tour.

For more information, check out our new doc on Goals for Product Tours.

Now you can add actions at any point in your Custom Bot paths. For example, you can assign a lead to sales during a bot interaction, enabling sales to act faster and connect with more leads while they’re on your website.

Previously it was only possible to add actions like sending an app, assigning a conversation, or tagging a lead at the end of a path. Now you can have Custom Bots take an action as soon as you want. Check it out:
