🛠️ Enhancements​

⚡ Simplified Agent Execution​

The conversational agent execution endpoint no longer requires creating a conversation first — if no ChatId is provided, a new conversation is created automatically. This streamlines one-off or programmatic executions while reducing unnecessary API calls.

We've also introduced an endpoint to retrieve initial agent context (welcome message, starters, etc.) without creating a conversation — ideal for pre-loading UI elements efficiently.

Relevant Endpoints​

  • ▶️ Execute Agent: Use without chatId to auto-create a conversation: Link
  • ℹ️ Get Initial Agent Conversation Info: Retrieve initial bot message and conversation starters without side effects: Link
  • ⚠️ (Deprecated) Create Conversation: Still available temporarily but will be removed; migrate to the execution flow above: Link

📄 See API documentation for full request/response schemas.

📊 Agent Insights and Forms Endpoints​

Date filtering is now available for both Agent Insights and Agent Forms.

Relevant Endpoints​

  • 📋 Get Forms by Agent: Retrieve forms data filtered by date: Link
  • 📊 Get Insights by Agent: Retrieve insights data filtered by date: Link

📄 See API documentation for full request/response schemas.

🛡️ Improved Agent Restrictions​

You can now define the level at which you want to restrict your agent. This simplifies configuration and ensures that security restrictions are applied. We recommend always setting an audit-level restriction to protect user privacy. Link

🔑 Workflow Security​
