Bug Fixes

  1. Previously, there was an issue with certain phone numbers, specifically those from Brazil and Argentina, where an additional ‘9’ would cause duplication. Now, this problem has been resolved. Whenever a new inbound message is received, any duplicated contacts are automatically merged with their respective conversation histories, ensuring a seamless experience.
  2. Fixed: If the customer created the template directly on Facebook, the update process in Connectly won’t function properly.
