Beetle 1.4.1: Power Cards

What’s New

We are very excited, as this week we have a major release.

First, we’ve really improved our cards: they become conditional!  It is now possible to query conditions you’ve defined in your dialog, and display contents conditionally. An example? Say you want to display a special bit of text to people above a certain age: now you can. In the bot, ask them their age (why not use our cool slider widget), assigning the answer to a variable. Then in the card, add a condition “IF user_age is greater than 50” and choose what you want to display. You may even embed cards as a conditional response. It’s now really easy to maintain your cards!

Second, we’ve developed a new information dashboard. Thanks to a revised backend which allows for super-fast loading of the data, we are happy to offer a new dashboard. We’ve computed some new metrics, to assess the most recent changes on your bot (reach, engagement, active sessions), and added some more interactive graphs. And of course, a new date selector allows you to assess this data for any period you are interested in. Furthermore, we’ve given it our visual twist!

Finally, we’ve introduced an improved design page for your bot’s visual customisation. You can now, for instance, remove the border or shading around your chatbots.

Bug Fixes
