v259 Cross-Project Flows & Enhanced WebChat 🔄
"Danger, Will Robinson!" - Robot B-9, Lost in Space 🤖
SentiOne Automate version 259 was released on 18.03.2026. This release introduces cross-project flow redirection, significant WebChat reliability improvements, and expanded Knowledge Base editing capabilities.
Cross-Project Flow Redirection
Bot flows can now redirect to flows in other projects within the same organization. The "Redirect to another flow" block now includes a project selector, enabling complex multi-project conversation workflows. Analytics and Conversations modules track sessions that span multiple projects, displaying the starting project alongside any projects visited during the conversation.
WebChat Reliability & Connection Handling
Connection Status Indicator: WebChat now displays connection status messages when the WebSocket connection becomes unstable, automatically hiding them once reconnection succeeds.
Message Delivery Guarantee: Missed messages are now delivered automatically when users reconnect to the WebSocket. Messages are queued for the duration of the conversation session and delivered upon reconnection.
Optimized Connection Strategy: WebSocket connections are now initialized only when users have an active session, significantly reducing unnecessary connections on high-traffic websites.
Silent Bot Actions: New WebChat API methods allow host websites to trigger bot actions via JavaScript events (e.g., item removed from cart, form selection changed) with configurable message visibility and labels.
Knowledge Base Document Management
Individual rows in Semantic Database documents can now be created and deleted directly in the UI. Whitespace characters are properly displayed to ensure accurate copy-paste operations. Documents uploaded via CSV/XLSX connectors now support XLSX file format alongside CSV.
Integration Block Improvements
Output values in Integration blocks can now be selectively saved to memory using checkboxes, eliminating the need to store all response data.
Test Suite Enhancements
Integration mocks from Chat Tester are now automatically copied to Test Suites when creating automated tests, streamlining test creation workflows.
Additional Enhancements
- Memory key autocomplete now includes keys defined in the current block without requiring save
- Agent names from Genesys are now displayed in WebChat conversations
- Genesys conversation closing now uses the current conversation ID for improved reliability
- LiveChat incoming webhook support enables bot responses to first messages
- LLM intentizer training logic migrated to Scala for improved performance
