As the seasons change you might be cooling down, you might be warming up - but things are smoking hot at Ortto HQ 🔥

We've got some huge updates cooking, check out what’s new and get a hint at whats landing soon.

Video and media support for WhatsApp

We all know it - rich media wins eyeballs. And for your customers, being able to send a screenshot with their support request wins hearts. So we made it all possible in Ortto. Our WhatsApp integration now supports video and other rich media in outbound messages and incoming messages via Talk, our omnichannel engagement platform.

Multi - App support

Increasingly, customers are building multiple apps - such as distinct apps for consumers and resellers or one for renters, one for owners. Whatever your apps might be, you can now link them all in Ortto to enable more personalized push messaging.

Data retention configuration updates

Its easy to get swamped, so you can now choose the activity data you retain - helping you reduce the noise and focus on the activities that benefit you, your marketing and forecasting priorities.

Reports via API

More and more customers are asking us about data analysis - and while our reports and dashboards are powerful, some organisations have significant investments in Data Warehouses. We already support this, and have just added two new API (POST) endpoints 

Track partial order fulfilment in Shopify

An activity will be triggered when a customer's order is partially fulfilled, enabling you to send them an email to let them know that some of their items are on the way. Another level of interaction and customer delight unlocked.

Prevent auto-replies from creating new Talk conversations

Out of office and auto-replies received are now automatically filtered and will not create new Talk conversations when you turn this feature on.

Salesforce updates, WhatsApp in Talk and Raisely coming soon..

Here’s what’s new this month 👇

Salesforce sync improvements

Sync subsets of activities to dial into the data you need and remove the bloat.

Previously, if you wanted to sync Ortto activity data to Salesforce, you had to send it all, which can be a lot of data. Now you can apply a filter to only send a subset of activities, matching the given filter, thus focusing only on the data you care about, taking data hygiene up a level.

Use case: Choose to sync email newsletter-related activities, not all emails, or only send transactional email activities to Salesforce. 

Salesforce source of truth permissions

Give Salesforce full control over Ortto email and SMS permissions.

Using this new setting, Salesforce will always override the permission value in Ortto with the latest data from Salesforce. This ensures that regardless of what actions have been taken in a different data source, or the user's direct message engagements, you can override these values by setting the permission in Salesforce.

Use case: View and control the communication permissions of your contacts in one place
