Step Up Authentication

Step up authentication allows brands to let their consumers continue the ongoing unauthenticated conversations after logging in and merging it to the authenticated conversation history. For more information, follow feature documentation.

With the support of Non-Rich content payloads, brands will be able to send "text" type proactive content messages to their consumers.

Bugs fixed

  • SDK displays a message body instead of message title from payload as a proactive welcome message.
  • A color configuration value for links is being ignored from the conversation message containing a text as well as link together.
  • The background color of buttons in horizontal type structured content will overlap over the structured content borders.
  • When using SDK’s clear history feature, an infinite loading spinner will not get reset from the conversation window after history gets cleared.
  • Accessibility only announces the new message but not the number of new messages received.
