Select type for fields
· Uku Tammet
Data fields can now be a Select: you define the options, and every collected answer is exactly one of them. No more cleaning up free-text variations before your data is usable.
- Define the options once: create a Select field with your list of options and attach it to any agent, just like any other field
- Visitors pick from a dropdown: on the pre-session form and inside sessions, select questions show a dropdown that matches the rest of the interface
- Conversations stay natural: in chat and voice, the agent asks the question like a human and maps the answer to one of your options; it only reads out the choices when the visitor is unsure
- Automations understand options: set up automation conditions by picking an option instead of typing an exact match
Also in this release:
- Dropdown menus across the app now open upward when they would run off the bottom of the screen
- Agent field configuration is now organized by when data is collected: before, during, and after the session
- Inbound agents are more proactive about surfacing relevant actions, like booking a call when a visitor asks to see more
