Version: 22.46.1

What's New

  • We have added the ability to add a client matter code to outgoing calls. This is enabled in PBX by managing the extension, and clicking the Enable Client Matter Code toggle to "on". When enabled, users will be prompted after initiating an outbound call to enter the client matter code. If a code is not needed for the call, users can press # to bypass and dial the call. Codes will display on the Call Details report in Insights.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where typing and viewing presence was not working in Business Messaging.
  • Fixed an issue where if a user clicked on their profile to display the My Preferences screen and their email contained a number, an incorrect profile would display.
  • Fixed an issue where resellers could not adjust partner notifications and subscriptions.

11/3/2022

Version: 22.44.1

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where contacts in certain cases displayed incorrect names in Shared Inboxes.
  • Fixed an issue where when performing a general search in Insights, users would sometimes receive a server error.
  • Fixed an issue where when setting business hours in Secure and the start time was anything within the 12th hour of the day (ex: 12:30pm), the time reverted to AM when saved.

10/25/2022

Version: 22.42.1

What's New

  • We have added the Do Not Disturb (DND) functionality to Desktop. With DND on Desktop, users can set their status to DND by clicking their profile picture (avatar) in the top left corner of Desktop, clicking their status, and selecting Do Not Disturb. While on DND, the status color on the top left corner of the avatar will change to red and notifications will be paused. When viewing other users in the Contact list, their status will display a red indicator on the top left corner of their avatar to indicate they are on Do Not Disturb, blue if they are available, or grey if they are offline. Calls made to a user in a DND status will go to voicemail.

    This functionality only affects Desktop, and does not apply to desk phones or the mobile apps. Future enhancements to this feature will include the mobile apps and syncing across all platforms and hardware.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where saved contacts did not display the contact's name in Business Messaging.
  • Fixed an issue where a user was receiving voicemails for a mailbox they were not subscribed to.

10/11/2022

Version: 22.38.2

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where if app sounds were muted, they could not be un-muted.

10/7/2022

Version: 22.38.1

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where missed calls had to be viewed to clear the call from the missed call indicator, and missed calls could not be cleared if they did not display in the Call History list. Now, the missed call indicator will clear once the My Calls tab is clicked.

Version: no new desktop version; AutoTask update

What's New

  • Updated the AutoTask login screen to be more specific and request the API User Username and API User Password instead of Username and Password.
  • Added the ability in AutoTask for users granted the Resource Impersonation permissions to be able to impersonate users. To impersonate a user, check the "Impersonate a Resource" checkbox on the login screen, and log in using your AutoTask API credentials. Then, select the user to impersonate. Any actions performed while impersonating the user will show the impersonated user listed as performing those actions.
  • Added pagination to the AutoTask integration. When running a query, AutoTask will now display 100 results at a time, and when the end of that list has been reached another 100 results will display.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue with the AutoTask integration that prevented agents from creating new tickets.
  • Fixed an issue where when searching a partial name in AutoTask, no results were returned.

9/1/2022

Version: Desktop 22.31.01

What's New

When a call is placed on hold and a second call is made, the call on hold will now display a transfer icon at the bottom of the call avatar. This allows you to place the original call on hold, contact another person and announce the call, and transfer the original call to the second call to provide a warm transfer experience. In addition, this allows you to return to the original call should the person intended to transfer the call to is unable to accept the transferred call.

What's New

Kaseya BMS Discover Functionality

The Kaseya BMS App in Cytracom Marketplace enables users to view their Kaseya Accounts, Contacts, and tickets from within the Cytracom Platform. Unlike other business communications platforms, Cytracom offers a deep integration Kaseya so users can get more from their conversations as well as click to dial functionality directly within the Kaseya BMS platform.
