What's New

• Get user’s location and share locations to users in WhatsApp channel ONLY for Vonage API version V1. This release introduces two new features: [[GeoLocation]] system entity and Location flow steps, which enable you to:
  • Collect location data from your users (with Location flow steps) and use it to present location-aware messages that are more likely to convert them into leads. E.g. share location of a shop, business, etc.
  • Bring the real world to your users with maps by rendering a geographical location similar to Google Maps preview.



For more information, see System Entities and Location Flow Steps.

• Rest Connector Custom Authentication. Added support for Refresh Token authorization pattern.



For more information, see Custom Authentication.

Improvements

• Bot framework version 4 is now available on all tenants, there is no need to get in touch with Druid Support Team to activate it.
Note:  Downgrading from bot framework version 4 to version 3 you will not be able to use the features available in version 4 (use adaptive cards or do extensive customization to the web chat snippet).
