🎯Release Notes
We are constantly improving NovaTalks to make your work even more convenient and efficient. In this section, we have gathered all the information about new feature releases, system enhancements, and bug fixes.
June 2026
New functionality
NovaTalks Chat Widget:
Reply to messages — reply to a specific message from a client, agent, or bot; a quote with text, image, or file is shown above the input field and within the message itself
Typing indicator — the client sees in real time that an agent or bot is typing a reply ("Agent name is typing…")
Sound notifications for new messages — on desktop, notifications also trigger when the chat tab is open in the background
Client message read status — a single checkmark (delivered) changes to two checkmarks (read by agent) in real time
Adaptive display of launcher channel icons — when many channels are connected, extra icons are hidden behind a "•••" button that opens the full list of available channels
New "Open chat automatically" option on the inbox Start Form tab — the chat can start immediately when the widget opens, or only after the client clicks "Start conversation"
Dialer:
Ability to end a conversation in "Dialing" status
Automatic recording of parameters from the Contact List (CL) into conversation attributes
Improvements and optimizations
NovaTalks Chat Widget:
Updated widget responsiveness — correct scaling for any screen size and orientation, including mobile devices
Improved widget positioning for all 4 placement options (bottom/center, left/right), accounting for custom margin set in inbox settings
Optimized widget behavior in landscape mode and on screens with small height
Separated hover effects for mouse and touch devices — fixed "stuck" hover states on touchscreens
Improved support for page zoom (accessibility zoom) for the input field and channel list in the widget
Added a semi-transparent backdrop behind the launcher channel icon list for better visibility on any page background
