Enhancements

  • Support bold and italic in system messages.
  • Support five additional languages. (Malaysian, Arabic, French-Canadian, Indonesian, Latin American Spanish)
  • Optimized History Control APIs to allow brands to decide which historical or current conversations displays to the consumer when opening the conversation screen.

Known issue

Deep links shared via Structured Content for InApp navigation are failing due to the http prefix getting added when clicking on a link. The workaround for this issue is to use the structured_content_link_as_callback configuration of SDK and handle links inside a host app when firing an SDK event: LP_ON_STRUCTURED_CONTENT_LINK_CLICKED
