Product changelog and announcements

This release reversed changes made to the usage of Sync for outbound, transfer and conference state workflows that were introduced in v1.33. For full details on the changes included in this version read the release notes.

For more info on what changes were introduced in v1.33 and are now being reversed, refer to ‘Changes to Sync usage in Flex UI’ in the Flex UI release notes.

This release addresses issues around increased plugin loading time and list of agents not displaying correctly when the hidden filter property is configured.

This release adds keyboard shortcuts to the Agent Desktop of Flex UI so that agents can perform common actions quickly. This includes accepting and switching between tasks, putting voice calls on hold and mute, and much more. Full details of the available shortcuts see thethe User guide.

Additionally developers can edit the default shortcuts and add custom shortcuts. Details on how to do this are available here.

For full details on the changes included in this version read the release notes.

We have updated all Flex projects that use Automatic Updates to Flex UI 1.32.

This release of Flex UI introduces a Degraded mode for Flex UI and improvements to Status Report. Now Flex UI will initialize with limited capabilities, even if some of the components like SDK’s (TaskRouter, Conversations, Voice or Sync) are down. The Status Report is now available in GA and includes debugger logs, Twilio service status information and whether Flex UI is running in degraded mode.

For more information check our documentation. Check how to enhance and customize queues monitoring programmatically.

For more details on this release, please visit the release notes for Flex UI.

Reminder: You can pin to individual versions of the Flex UI or manage your Automatic Updates within the Flex Admin UI.

We are excited to announce that Flex UI 2.0 is now available in GA.

We are excited to announce that Flex Conversations is now Generally Available.

Flex Conversations introduces the new async channel platform to easily build SMS/MMS, WhatsApp, and Chat channels in Flex. This release includes:

• Support for Conversations API, the single API to manage all asynchronous channels including SMS/MMS. WhatsApp, and Chat
• New Interactions API to set up and manage inbound and outbound communications
• An open source React based chat application to help you get started with creating and embedding webchat into your website
• Attachment support for all channels that support attachments
• Conversations support in Twilio Studio

Flex Conversations requires Flex UI 2.0. See the Flex UI 2.0 docs for more info and how to perform a migration.

You can read more about this launch on our blog, and if you’re ready to start building, dive into our docs.

This release improves Flex UI’s resiliency by updating functionality used in conferences, outbound calling and voice transfers to remove dependencies.

In 2H 2023 Twilio will be updating the media IPs and port ranges for Flex calls in all regions. We will be moving from a per-region IP range allocation to a single global range; 168.86.128.0/18. Additionally, we will be expanding the media port range from 10000-20000 to 1024-65535.

We are making this change to provide flexibility, reliability, and scalability. There is no action required at this time, and we will provide a more precise timeline approximately six months before the change. At that time you will need to update your network infrastructure to ensure that you have whitelisted the full IP and port ranges. Failure to do so will result in one-way audio and dropped calls.

In this version of Flex UI we have updated the Status Report, formerly known as the Debugger UI, to now include a summary of Flex UI's operation status for each user. The Status Report is now available in GA and includes debugger logs, Twilio service status information and whether Flex UI is running in degraded mode.

Find out more about the updated Status Report on the Troubleshooting Flex UI page.
