- Agent Availability Count Accuracy (No Chats Handling) – Agents marked as “No Chats” are now excluded from available agent counts across the Agent Lists Manager, Admin Agent Lists, and the Available Agents API. A status icon now clearly indicates when an agent is set to No Chats, ensuring more accurate availability reporting.
- Advanced Indexing & Virtual Index Support – FAQ and Knowledge Base content can now be organized into Virtual Index categories. This enables assigning content to specific virtual indexes, restricting AI prompts, pipelines, or Agent Assist to selected content groups, and using a Create or Repair option to validate and repair indexing configuration.
- Cummins Ticket Assignment API – Added support for assigning Cummins tickets directly within Chime. This includes a new AssignTicket() API method and a new scripting method assignCumminsTicket(), enabling automated or programmatic ticket assignment workflows.
