Securely connect your support email address using Google/Microsoft authentication

deskchangelog-image-emailauth

You can now connect your support email address to SparrowDesk via Google/Microsoft authentication to receive support tickets. This method is secure and hassle free as it doesn’t involve credentials and the authentication is done by Google and Microsoft servers. 

Also, the connection is established in seconds without a long set up process. 

Improvements

  • Deleted conversations, contacts, and spam items are now permanently removed from the recycle bin after 14 days.
  • Conversations marked as closed will automatically reopen if a customer replies, with SLA policies re-applied based on current conditions.

Fixes

  • Fixed ticket creation logic to correctly attribute conversations to the right requester.
  • Resolved real-time status sync issues when conversations are assigned, unassigned, or closed.
  • Fixed an issue where macros applied in conversations didn’t reflect immediately without a reload.
  • Restored the ability to delete and restore conversations reliably from the inbox.
  • Improved Knowledge Base reliability by fixing article search and publish-related UI issues.

API Changes

  • Added public APIs for creating, updating, deleting and fetching conversations.

Smarter, faster filtering with AI

deskchangelog-image-aifilter

Filters help customize the inbox to display only the conversations that matter at the moment. But applying a filter takes multiple clicks, especially when many conditions are involved. 

AI filters help simplify and speed up this process; just specify what you’re looking for like a prompt and see the results instantly. You can even combine multiple conditions into a single prompt, for example ‘My tickets that are due tomorrow’ or ‘Conversations created by John Dafoe in the current month’. This helps you zero in on the important conversations faster and with more precision. 

Chat transcripts for customer re-engagement

A common occurrence is chat support: customers start conversations and abandon them midway, possibly due to connectivity issues. SparrowDesk helps you re-engage these customers effectively by automatically emailing them the chat transcript. Customers can continue the conversation effortlessly by simply replying to the email. 

Besides re-engagement, transcripts also give customers a record of the support interaction for future reference. 

Improvements

  • Upgrades and refinements to the reporting module for better insights and data visualization.
  • Added the ability to control the height and width of custom dropdowns for improved UI flexibility.

Fixes

  • Resolved issues with deleting, blocking, and restoring chat-created contacts. 
  • Fixed an issue where Admin users couldn’t access billing settings.
  • Ensured Luna-powered chats appear correctly across all assigned conversations.
  • Fixed a bug where agents and admins couldn’t change conversation status without refreshing.
  • Patched a security issue related to unrestricted file uploads.

API Changes

  • Launched a public API for bulk importing contacts, making it easier to manage large contact lists.

Automate repetitive actions and processes with Workflows

deskchangelog-workflows

Sequential tasks and operating procedures are commonplace in customer support. Their purpose is to improve the consistency and efficiency of service. But, they end up consuming valuable time and energy that could otherwise be spent helping customers. 

Set up workflow automations and let them take care of the repeat work. Workflows automatically execute one or more actions when certain events occur, meeting specified conditions. Choose from our ready-to-use templates, or build your own from scratch with custom triggers, conditional logic, and actions. 

The intuitive, point-to-click builder simplifies workflow creation. Admins can easily build and deploy workflows just like flowcharts.

Auto-assign tickets among team members via round-robin 

deskchangelog-roundrobin-assignment

Ensure incoming conversations are attended to faster by automating their assignment. The round robin rule equally distributes the incoming conversations among members in teams, ensuring customers aren’t kept waiting.

Improvements

  • Added programmatic support in the chat widget to set contact and conversation fields via code, with strict field-type validation and silent handling of invalid inputs.
  • Enabled custom SLA priority ordering by allowing admins to reorder SLA priorities through drag-and-drop controls.
  • Enhanced the ticket creation flow with CC/BCC support, email notifications, drag-and-drop attachments, AI-generated subject lines, and integrated Luna AI tools.
  • Increased the maximum file upload size for agents to 50 MB to support larger attachments.

Fixes

  • Ensured all active user sessions are immediately invalidated after a password change to strengthen account security.
  • Enforced robust password policies across frontend and backend, including minimum length, character complexity, and prevention of password reuse.

Train luna with documents and URLs to further refine its performance

deskchangelog-luna-training

Luna is SparrowDesk native artificial intelligence. It’s powerful enough to function as a standalone AI agent, answering customer questions and resolving problems end to end. And also as an AI Copilot, providing human agents with instant conversation summaries, ready-to-send reply drafts, on-demand knowledge bites, and anything else they need for quick and helpful support.   

For optimum performance and personalized responses, Luna has to be trained with information. The more context you provide Luna, the faster and sharper its responses become. 

By default, Luna learns from your company’s knowledge base and support interactions. Starting now, you can feed it with information from documents and URLs, so that it can acquire knowledge from your internal resources, like agent guidebooks, and external sources. This gives Luna an in-depth understanding of your business and industry while you have the flexibility to train it granularly without making the information public.    

Improvements

  • Included new options such as timezone, page URL, country, language, and UTM parameters for efficient filtering and prioritization of conversations.
  • Added a column in the members page to show who has Copilot Seat access, making team roles clearer.
  • Introduced separate notification sounds for new incoming conversations and follow ups for better distinction, and optimized volume levels for better audibility.
  • Made the chat widget’s close button more prominent for easy collapse and reopen.

Fixes

  • Corrected password policy enforcement to ensure lockout periods are applied exactly as configured, preventing unintended default lockout durations.
  • Invalidated all active user sessions immediately after a password change to eliminate the risk of continued unauthorized access.
  • Mitigated an IDOR vulnerability that could allow deletion of contacts across accounts by tightening account-level access validation.
  • Fixed an issue preventing uploaded Luna agent avatars from rendering correctly as display images.
    Stabilized the “Forgot Password” flow to prevent intermittent failures and ensure reliable account recovery.
