Here’s what shipped in July

Conversation Quality Index (Beta)

A new AI-calculated metric that measures how well your support team handles conversations — like having a quality-control reviewer on every single conversation.

  • 🔍 Every conversation analyzed — the AI evaluates each conversation assigned to an agent once it’s closed, or after 72 hours with no activity.

  • Counted as positive — the request was handled well (resolved), or the agent replied but the customer stopped interacting (abandoned).

  • Counted as negative — the request wasn’t handled properly (unresolved).

  • ✍️ Admin override — admins can review any conversation and override the AI’s score.

🧪 Available in Beta

Can be enabled per business — even without the AI bot. Reach out to your account manager to try it.

Reserve your WhatsApp username

Meta has opened WhatsApp username reservation — soon, customers will see names like @acme.store instead of business phone numbers. You can now secure your brand’s name right from Settings → WhatsApp Numbers.

  • 🏷 One-click reservation — a banner invites eligible businesses to reserve a username for their number.

  • Suggested or custom names — pick one of Meta’s suggested names (with higher approval odds) or enter your own, validated against all of Meta’s format rules.

  • 📋 Status at a glance — the numbers table shows each number’s username status, including names already reserved via WhatsApp Manager.

  • 🚨 First-come, first-served — usernames are claimed across all of WhatsApp, so reserving early protects your brand.

Store products: share them anywhere, manage them in one place

Your store catalog got a lot of love this month — share products directly in conversations and campaigns, and manage everything from a brand-new Products Management page.

  • 💬 Share from the Inbox — while chatting with a customer, pick one or more products and send them instantly (available in open WhatsApp sessions).

  • 📣 Products in campaign replies — add products to your campaign custom replies and turn every broadcast into a path to checkout.

  • 🛒 Single product or carousel — send one product as a CTA message, or several as an interactive product carousel. This replaces Facebook Catalog sharing.

  • 🗂 New Products Management page — browse and search everything synced from your store, and manually sync your latest products whenever you need.

  • Recommended products — pick the products to prioritize in all system-generated outbound carousel messages.

  • 🎚 Control availability — choose whether inactive products are included in automations and campaigns.

  • 🩺 Spot product issues — filter products with missing images, descriptions, or prices.

🚀 Already connected your store?

Product sharing is available to any business with an e-commerce integration — just make sure your store products are synced.

Ticketing: customer notifications + 30 new reports

Last month’s Ticketing product got two major upgrades: your customers can now follow their tickets, and you can now measure everything about them.

  • 🔔 Status update notifications — notify customers whenever a work item’s status changes (created, in progress, and so on), with a customizable notification per status.

  • 🧩 New template usage — with custom fields for ticket type, status, number, and stage.

  • 🌍 Automatic language detection — the template language is detected automatically, with a fallback to Arabic.

  • 10-minute grace window — notifications go out 10 minutes after the status change, and users with permission can cancel one before it sends.

  • 📊 30+ ticketing reports — a full reporting suite for work items, with click-through to the data behind each report.

More improvements

A few more updates worth knowing about:

  • 🔐 Enterprise-grade webhook security — two opt-in protections for webhook triggers: Basic Auth (username + password) and IP allowlisting. Both can be turned on or off any time, on new and existing automations.

  • 🧭 Simpler survey automation setup — NPS, CSAT, Purchase Review, Product Feedback, and e-invoice automations are now set up entirely from the template creation experience — no more jumping between WhatsApp Flows, Templates, and Automations.

  • 📦 Tracking links in order status — add tracking_url, tracking_number, and carrier_name to order status notifications, with filters to send different tracks with and without a link.

  • 📈 AI reports drill-down — see which messages and sessions produced a resolution or escalation, click through to the linked conversation, and export the report for more detail.
