What’s New In Umnico?

We have started implementing trigger actions in chats.

We've started implementing automatic actions in Umnico Inbox. Now, all our users have access to the long-awaited automatic distribution of chats and inquiries between the selected operators by channel.

 Here is how it works:

• A new button now appears in the Pipeline (the light bulb button).
• When you click on it, all Pipeline statuses are displayed, so you can add a new trigger and see all active triggers.

To set up automatic distribution of chats, click on the button, select the channel and the operators to distribute chats. If you receive another inquiry from a particular client, you can track whether the operator had a chat before or not.

Ready! Now, customer inquiries will be received by operators in turn.

Any trigger can always be changed, reconfigured, or removed. Before deletion, all actions performed by the trigger are preserved.

We really appreciate Umnico's partners Umnico, so we have prepared some nice changes and updates for them.

The table of affiliate deductions is revised.

Now it is divided into two categories: Promoters and Integrators. Integrators have a whole range of percentage grades now.

📍 Who is who?

Promoters are companies or individuals that attract traffic but do not want to advise, set up, and lead the client in the future. Promoters receive 15 percent of all payments of clients they refer.

Integrator is a verified account of a company or individual actively involved in its client management, it provides consulting services, support, and advice on purchasing additional options.

We have designed 3 grades for Integrators:

1. 0­-9 clients - 30%

2. 10­-19 clients - 45%

3. 20 or more clients - 60%

We have raised the maximum commission to 60%.

📍 Furthermore, we have updated the partner account by adding a table with a commission and modernized all the information and latest rules.

📍 We keep redesigning our Task Calendar

The view of tasks for the day and month is updated, a new display mode - "Week" is added as well. Now it is much easier and convenient to switch between them. You can see, move, close, and edit tasks using the new mode.

Moreover, we have added a new counter of completed / overdue / in progress tasks in the upper right corner.

We will announce some filters for our Calendar very soon. Stay tuned!

📍 The mechanism of internal search and merging of duplicates by Umnico in amoCRM

We have introduced a new mechanism that searches and merges duplicates. The problem is solved:

• No more duplicates when reaching first from the widget by phone number;

1. Quick responses and their localization

You can set up quick responses in the chat widget on the site and add up to 5 languages at once.

Here is how it works:

• add a question that will be displayed to the user in the chat;
• when it is clicked, a user immediately sees the answer to its question.

How to set it up:

Go to Settings ➡️ Live Chat ➡️ Quick Responses ➡️ Enter a question first, then answer ➡️ Don't forget to save everything.

2. Auto opening of the widget

Now you can set up an automatic opening of the live chat with a timer. Site visitors no longer need to hover over the chat icon on the site, the chat will open itself after a specified time.

How to set it up:

Go to Settings ➡️ Live Chat ➡️ Online chat ➡️ Turn on "Automatically open chat" ➡️ Set the required time to open in the timer ➡️ Don't forget to save everything.

We continue actively working on Umnico Live Chat. This week, we introduce two features at once.

1. Live chat localization 

Our chat widget supports multiple languages now. You can set the widget language: Russian, English, German, Spanish and Portuguese.

Here is how it works:

Your site has been adapted for Russian and Portuguese. Previously, your site visitors saw chat in only one of the languages by default, for example, in Russian. 👉 Now, the live chat widget tracks which language is set in the visitor's browser and automatically switches the chat language to the suitable one. Thus, the visitor immediately sees the chat in his language, it turns out as natively as possible.

2. Chat mode — "Messengers button"

You can disable the chat icon in the list of communication methods now. The drop-down list will have only the messengers that you previously added. The function is turned on/off easily: there is an item "Show chat on the site" in the settings. As soon as you turn it off and save the changes, the chat icon immediately ceases to be displayed.

❗ But we were not working on a chat alone. Here are the updates that are waiting for you in your account.

We have completed the implementation of messages loading in real-time in amoCRM.

Now, no matter how you send a message: from the phone, with the Internet turned off or from Umnico account, it will always be pulled into a deal/create a deal. You won't lose any messages.

We have started redesigning the calendar and tasks.

There is already a new add/edit interface, as well as a completed task interface. 👉 The task has a field with the result now. Such a functionality allows you to create new tasks upon completion of the current ones. It also provides an ability to resume the completed task.

Feel free to review all these new features right now by login into your account.

📍 We have avatars of employees in the online chat now

We have added avatars to Umnico Live Chat. As soon as your operator replies to a client in the chat, its avatar appears next to the message.

What needs to be done to display avatars in a dialog:

• set an avatar in the user profile;
• install a chat widget on your site;
• grant your operator access to that chat.

Important:

• All automatic messages come with a default avatar.
• If a user did not set an avatar set, it is replaced by the default one.

📍 New index page on the site

We have updated the main page of the website. Now it looks more modern and provides more information about the service.

📍 Special update for amoCRM

We have fixed the bug in amoCRM that interfered with the work of bots. Now "Message" does not appear before the text of a message, so the bots can work without failures.

You can review all that new functionality right now by login into your account.

The link for Umnico app on Google Play has changed. If you have an Android smartphone and haven't reinstalled the app yet, please, do it right now.

We keep improving the functionality of the live chat for a website. Now forms are available for you.

This functionality allows you to receive client details (such as name and phone number) before the dialogue starts.

The form is mandatory for a user. Such data will help you to contact the client later or validate it. This functionality can also be conveniently used to collect contractual information of users who contact you after working hours.

How to set up Forms:

• Click on Settings ➡️ Website Chat ➡️ Forms
• Add the fields you need

After a client fills in the form in the chat, a deal with that data is automatically created in Umnico.

Feel free to test the new functionality of Umnico Live Chat right now by logging in to your account. We are glad to remind you that our online chat widget is free and suitable for almost any site.

We have finished working on mapping in amoCRM. From now on, employees see only their dialogs in the amoCRM widget by default. A user who has access to all dialogues is an exception.

The functionality works immediately after the connection for new clients. Current customers need to receive one message in each dialog, and new settings will be assigned correctly.

You can check that new functionality right now. Just log in to your account.

We have added functionality that many customers have been waiting for! Umnico now supports Telegram group chats. You won't miss a single message from your customers and will be able to join discussions quickly.

Group chat functionality works within the framework of regular integration with Telegram Personal, and it is available right after the connection. Everyone who uses that integration already can leverage group chat functionality with no additional action taken. To reveal group chats, you need to receive at least one message from any group member.

Telegram group chats support all types of attachments, stickers, voice messages, and citations.

Feel free to check the new functionality of Telegram group chats right now by logging in to your account.

Umnico update digest:

1. The WhatsApp Checker is now available in amoCRM.
The checker works fully automatically. How it works:
- Open the transaction and pay attention to the field with the working phone
- If there is a green handset next to the phone, the number is registered on WhatsApp
- If you see a pale green handset, the number is not registered on WhatsApp

2. We've added support for real-time WhatsApp messages.
