  Flex Insights action to respond to dashboard drill-downs of conversations that have media link of type Raw. The action is fired any time you drill down to a conversation or a segment.

• Player usability improvements - You can now listen to calls and view chats within a dashboard without opening the call in a new browser tab. Quickly skim through many calls within Flex without going back and forth. You can still open the call in a separate tab to comment on and assess it. Go to Player docs for more info
• Chat transcripts - You can now drill down to chat transcripts from Flex Insights. You can understand the underlying conversations behind your chat-related KPIs. Your supervisors can comment on and assess chat conversations to gather feedback on the quality of agent conversations with your customers. Go to Flex Insights Conversation Screen docs for more info
• Custom media attachments - You can view custom media attached to conversations. You can use TaskRouter attributes to reference web pages (for example internal CRM records, tickets, etc.) that you can view on drill down directly in Flex Insights. This can add more context to every conversation. Go to Flex Insights docs for more info

• Dashboards, Analyze, and Questionnaire editor are now integrated into Flex navigation and are directly accessible from the left navigation bar. This makes Flex Insights a first-class citizen and consistent with the rest of Flex.
• Flex Insights now displays more detailed status if it is not available or there is another issue. This will enable easier troubleshooting.

• Fixed a bug in Flex Insights when SSO isn't enabled.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes a permanent sidebar would be added.
• DTMF Dialpad component will now call SendDTMFDigits`` action instead of calling Voice SDK directly.
• QueuesDataTable headers are now localizable with: QueuesStatsHeaderQueueName, QueuesStatsHeaderActiveTasks, QueuesStatsHeaderWaitingTasks, QueuesStatsHeaderLongestWait, QueuesStatsHeaderAgentsActivity.

Other

• Introduced ChatChannelHelper class to wrap all Chat Channel specific helper methods. An instance of a task can be obtained from TaskHelper.chat property. TaskHelper.lastChatMessage method was deprecated, use ChatChannelHelper.lastMessage instead. Now a developer can get access to Task last message, customer presence and typers (array of members who are typing in the channel). Available properties for this class:

  • isCustomerOnline - Returns true if customer is online, false if not
  • lastMessage - Gets helper for last chat message
  • typers - Gets all channel members which are currently typing (except you)

• Function withTaskContext now returns a correctly typed component instead of any. Therefore it may not be used as a class decorator anymore, but it must be called. This change may also result in new TypeScript errors surfacing incorrect prop types or similar issues.

• Content of localization strings changed:

  • TaskHeaderStatusAccepted - this string is no longer used for WebChat tasks. A new string has been introduced for that TaskHeaderWebChatStatusAccepted
  • TaskLineChatAssigned - this string is no longer used for WebChat tasks. A new string has been introduced for that TaskLineWebChatAssigned
• "Login with Twilio" link on the Login View will open a Twilio login in a new window if Flex is rendered in an iframe element.

  • invokeAction now returns an Error when the Promise is rejected
  • ToggleMute , HoldCall , UnholdCall and HangupCall to throw an Error instance instead of just an error string in case of a failure. This will allow to provide more detailed error description in the future and improves error tracing down the stack and identify which SDK the error came from.
• The useLocalState prop of MessageInput is enabled by default for performance improvement

• Update 'How to configure' CRM docs link URL
• Message Input now supports Input Method Editor, allowing to use characters and symbols that are not directly represented on the keyboard itself (like Chinese characters).

• A legacy property to ContextProvider component. This resolves conflicts between multiple react-redux versions for self-hosted applications. We suggest not to use multiple react-redux versions, but if you need to use multiple versions, pass legacy={true}, then Flex ContextProvider instance will be rendered even with custom Redux store.
• A theme.FormComponents.Select to Theme to customize the Select input item
• A new property useSeparateInputStore introduced in the payload for action SetInputText . Setting it to true , will store the message text in separate state and improves performance of typing in Chat/Messaging/SMS dialog when handling a task. From the next major release of Flex, this prop will be defaulted to true . This can be changed by setting the new default property useSeparateInputStore of MessageInput.

• Added tasksA and tasksB arguments to AgentsDataTable.defaultProps.initialCompareFunction . This will allow to sort the list of agents based on task attributes rather than worker attributes. For example, you can do initial sort of the agents based on longest duration of the task.

Example:

• Flex now loads only those chat channels that a worker is a member of and has an associated task with to optimize the loading time.
• Call task canvas will now go to new list mode if participants would not otherwise fit.

Expand image

In order to change ParticipantCanvas when it is in list mode, developer will need to use ParticipantCanvas.ListItem.

Example: Adding a button to the bottom of the normal participant

Example: Adding a button to the end of participant that is shown in a list

• theme.FormComponents.TextArea now applies to the textarea container, not directly to the element itself. This is to enforce consistency between form item.

• Components properly inherit font property of the RootContainer , thus allowing to change font consistently in whole application:

Example: How to set custom font for the whole Flex application

• Removed cols support for text area.
• Removed export of connect function which did not connect to correct Redux store.
• Removed optional configuration URLs from TypeScript Config interface.

Setting component state

A new action SetComponentState has been added. This action alters the current state of the component. Component states is a componentName => key/value pairs dictionary in Redux store that this action manipulates. Read more about this action in Actions Framework.

Additional reducers

We have added 2 new methods to support adding additional reducers:

• Store enhancer flexStoreEnhancer to support adding additional reducers.

Example:

• addReducer api to manager.store to add additional reducer.

Example:

Chat Orchestration

ChatOrchestrator object can now be used to disable default chat orchestration.

• There are three chat orchestrations that are supported and enabled by default:

  • AddToChatChannel - Request agent to be added to the chat channel (by default runs on the accepted event from Reservation )
  • DeactivateChatChannel - Mark chat channel status as INACTIVE (by default runs on WrapupTask and CompleteTask actions and on the wrapup and completed event from Reservation object if it was not done already)
  • LeaveChatChannel - Remove agent from the chat channel (by default runs on CompleteTask action and on the completed event from Reservation object if it was not done already)
• Orchestrations can be disabled completely by invoking ChatOrchestrator.clearAllOrchestrations() .

• Orchestrations can be enabled or disabled by Reservation events (accepted, wrapup, completed) which affects corresponding actions as well. For example:

  • Disable orchestrations for accepted event: Flex.ChatOrchestrator.setOrchestrations("accepted", []);
  • Disable marking chats channels as inactive: Flex.ChatOrchestrator.setOrchestrations("wrapup", []);
  • Enable removing agent on completed event: Flex.ChatOrchestrator.setOrchestrations("completed", ["LeaveChatChannel"]);

Setting activity state

Agents can move to an unavailable activity state even if they have pending reservations, and supervisors can set agents with pending reservations to an unavailable state. This capability can be disabled by setting the configuration option rejectPendingReservations to false or overriding it in the SetActivity action payload:

• AgentDesktopView.Panel1 got a new default property splitterOrientation that determines whether orientation of the content will be vertical, horizontal or automatic ( "auto" ) based on content size.

• New localization strings added

  • TaskTabSupervisorCallLabel - Call task tab label in Supervisor task canvas.
  • TaskTabSupervisorChatLabel - Chat task tab label in Supervisor task canvas.
  • TaskHeaderStatusPending - Describes task that is in pending state. It's used in TaskCanvasHeader.
  • TaskHeaderGroupCallAccepted - Describes conference call task that is in accepted state. It's used in TaskCanvasHeader.
  • TaskHeaderStatusAccepted - Describes task that is in accepted state. It's used in TaskCanvasHeader.
  • TaskHeaderStatusWrapup - Describes task that is in wrapup state. It's used in TaskCanvasHeader.
  • TaskHeaderStatusCompleted - Describes task that is in completed state. It's used in TaskCanvasHeader.
• TaskCanvasHeader now accepts a new prop secondLineTemplateCode . By default it describes the status of the task.
• Added callSid to Participant object in Conferences state.

• Chat orchestration failure now can prevent action invocations:

  • If chat orchestration fails to mark the chat channel inactive, then WrapupTask action will fail.
  • If chat orchestration fails to remove agent from chat channel, then CompleteTask action will fail.
• Chat orchestration will update chat channels as inactive on the Reservation wrapup event (if it did not happen in WrapupTask action already)
• Custom components are encouraged to use withTheme decorators to inject theme prop

• Following type definitions are changed for consistency:

  • CallCanvasProps renamed to CallCanvasChildrenProps
  • TaskCanvasProps renamed to TaskCanvasChildrenProps
  • NoTaskCanvasProps renamed to NoTaskCanvasChildrenProps
  • ParticipantsCanvasProps split in a ParticipantsCanvasProps subset and ParticipantsCanvasChildrenProps
  • TaskCanvasHeaderProps split in a TaskCanvasHeaderProps subset and TaskCanvasHeaderChildrenProps

  • TaskListButtonsProps renamed in TaskListButtonsChildrenProps
  • ViewCollectionProps split in a ViewCollectionProps subset and ViewCollectionImplProps

• Error notification when browser is unable to access microphone.
• New option isolate for router configuration section: whenever set to true, Flex will ignore any navigation action (including URL change) except for internal.
• Registered a beforeSendMessage action to check if the message exceeds the limit and handle it accordingly.
• Support for promises to Actions framework. Now, if a before-action listener returns a Promise, the Actions framework will wait for it to be resolved before completing the action. This change is back-compatible, so a lister can still return nothing.
• SendMessage action got optional messageAttributes property to its payload that, if specified, will be used as the equally named property of the Chat SDK sendMessage call.

Views and routing

• Default route may now be changed via componentProps by setting defaultLocation property for ViewCollection .

• New API functions to run or log user in to Flex using Twilio.Flex interface:

• New LoginFormView React component to be used to provide account / user info with the following props:

• New strings for LoginFormView component:

• Add optional label property to the Tab component. When provided, it will display a label into the Tab element. If the value matches a code in language strings array, the contents of the language string is used as template. Otherwise the value is used as just string. If label is not provided, icon property is considered and used.
• Add optional alignment property to Tabs . When provided, it will change the tabs alignment. Possible values are left or center . Default is center .

• Tasks can now be transferred to another available agent from Call Canvas via new Worker Directory.
• To enable call transfers, calls will be currently accepted with endConferenceOnExit set to false , meaning that the call will not stop for customer when agent stops the call.
• As alternative to the above, disableTransfers config options was created. By default false , if set to true, the endConferenceOnExit will be enabled but transfers to other agents will not be available.
• Agent Skilling. Can be disabled by setting WorkerCanvas component prop showSkills to false .
• public_identity from worker attributes gets set to agent's chat user friendly name. If that is not set, then full_name attribute is used.
• Call recording can be enabled from configuration service.

• All actions that had taskSid in payload will now expect sid instead. Potential breaking change!
• Task object in Actions framework got new field sourceObject which will be pointing to the actual SDK object. Reservation in case of TaskRouter, InsightsObject in case of Insights (Supervisor views). source is still there but is deprecated.

• Some actions got changed payload

  • SetActivity can now be called with just activityName in the payload.
  • SelectTaskInSupervisor now expects/provides object as payload in form of {task?: ITask, taskSid?: string} . Providing either will autofill the other also so both will be available for whoever taps into the action via Actions framework.
  • SelectWorkerInSupervisor now expects/provides object as payload in form of {worker?: ITask, workerSid?: string} . Providing either will autofill the other also so both will be available for whoever taps into the action via Actions framework.
  • MonitorCall now expects/provides object as payload in form of {task?: ITask, taskSid?: string} . Providing either will autofill the other also so both will be available for whoever taps into the action via Actions framework.
• Chat channels need to be created by channel orchestration service for agent to be able to join them.
• Templates and channel definitions use channelType attribute from task to detect chat channel type.

• Styling
• Avatar callback

Changed

• Consume @twilio/flex-ui@0.14.0

Changed

• SetActivity action now has payload in the form of {activitySid: string; activityName?: string; activityAvailable?: boolean} . Only activitySid is used in default implementation and are required when invoking the action by user, but other two are filled for better context for users who override the action and need more information on what the new activity will be.
• Property task type changed to ITask for task based components. Previously TaskState interface was used which had only source and reservation properties. Properties source and reservation stay the same as they used to, but now attributes and other task properties can be accessed from task object itself. For example this.props.task.attributes can be used where applicable and there should be no need to use source sub property anymore which is referring to Task Router SDK object.
• Consume TR 0.2.8 with Reservation based task completion. Special account flag needed for everything to work properly.
• Tasks in store are referenced by reservation sid now

Added

• Components can be removed using Task Channels API:

• TaskContext - Flex sets up Task Context using React Context API where it knows about an active or selected task. If Task has been selected in Agent Desktop View or Teams View then it can be obtained from Context. Interface of the TaskContext is shown below. Also withTaskContext helper function has been added that creates a HOC which adds the properties to the wrapped component.

• Using TaskContext.Consumer :

• Using withTaskContext :

Added

Component.Content.remove to allow removing components from dynamic component children (both native and programmatically added ones).

Syntax:

Component.Content.remove(key: string, options: {if?: (props: any) => boolean})

where

• key - key of the component to be removed
• if - Boolean expression that decides at any given moment whether the removal should be active. props parameter is the object of all properties passed by the main component to children.

Example: removes avatar from the canvas that shows "you have no tasks", but only if the user's name is not Bob.

Changed

• Consume @twilio/flex-ui@0.13.0

Removed

• Individual module files in the NPM module removed. All sources bundled into a single module bundle file referenced by the main field in package.json.
• Components TaskListChatItem and TaskListCallItem - can be customized not using Task Channels API. Or use TaskListItem to use them all.
• Theme property AltContainer and IconArea ; and component property alternateColors removed from TaskListItem component.
• Theme property colors.channelColors removed. Channel colors are defined in Task Channel now.

Changed

• Rendering tasks from all channels now in TaskList using default task channel definition.
• All channels are defined by Task Channels API.

Added

• Incoming call notification bar
• In case of pending tasks Nav Bar is going to show red dot on top of main and agent-view button
• Task Channels API. See below for more detailed description and information about usage,

All task channels that Flex handles are defined and registered by Task Channels API. Flex registers its default Task Channel definitions (see below), but users and plugins can register their own. When Flex task based components are rendered, the first matching channel definition for a given task will be used. If there is more than one channel definition match for a task, then most recently registered definition will be used (so that you can register more specific channel definition).

See below interface TaskChannelDefinition for what can be set up. All parameters are optional meaning that ones from Default task channel definition will be used if not specified. The most important property of a task channel definition is isApplicable callback function. The callback receives a task as argument and must return Boolean true if this definition can be used to handle given task.

In a task channel definition you can specify:

• callback to determine which tasks are applicable
• strings (templates) to use in different Flex components based on task status
• colors to be used in task list based on task status
• icons to be shown in task list, tabs and canvases based on task status
• custom components to be added to task based components if channel is applicable
• custom components to be replaced in task based components if channel is applicable

Predefined Task Channels definitions are available via Twilio.Flex.DefaultTaskChannels objects for reference. Channels that are defined by default:

• Call - Twilio.Flex.DefaultTaskChannels.Call
• Chat - Twilio.Flex.DefaultTaskChannels.Chat
• Chat SMS - Twilio.Flex.DefaultTaskChannels.ChatSMS
• Chat Line - Twilio.Flex.DefaultTaskChannels.ChatLine
• Chat Messenger - Twilio.Flex.DefaultTaskChannels.ChatMessenger
• Chat WhatsApp - Twilio.Flex.DefaultTaskChannels.ChatWhatsApp
• Default - Twilio.Flex.DefaultTaskChannels.Default

It is not recommended to change Twilio.Flex.DefaultTaskChannels them at runtime. You should create your own definition and register it instead.

Flex has the following helper functions to create channel definitions with default values for chat, call and generic: Chat channel creation with default chat templates:

Call channel creation with default templates. Call channel definition uses callbacks to determine the icon and colors (based on call state and destination to render):

Default channel creation with default templates.

To register a task channel definition use Flex.TaskChannels.register(definition: TaskChannelDefinition, mergeWithDefaultChannel = true). You must register your channel definitions before Flex starts up.

Example:

Also new the following API exists: Flex.TaskChannels.unregister(myOwnChatChannel); - to unregister previously registered channel Flex.TaskChannels.getRegistered(); - to get all registered task channelsFlex.TaskChannels.getForTask(task: ITask); - to get a matching task channel definition for a task
