The focus of the release was to introduce bi-directional location sharing via the WhatsApp channel and to further enhance the Media node.
When using Chat Flow, users can now add a new Location Sharing node into their flows to either send a location pin to the end-user OR receive a location pin from the end-user and use the latitude, longitude, location name, and address within their flow.
Note: this is available for use on the WhatsApp channel only.
ENHANCEMENTS
Previously, using the Media node to send outbound media to an end-user would cause the current flow to end. With the latest release, we’ve made an important enhancement to the Media node such that the flow-builder now has the option to specify a next step/flow that the flow must logically continue to after sending an outbound media file to an end-user. This allows for a much smoother experience for both the user and the flow-builder to use as an alternative to the ‘stop-and-start’ feel when sending outbound media.
Flow-builders can also now specify the file name that is displayed to the end-user when sending media files by optionally entering a file name to override the existing one with.
