![Overview of features and updates released to production in a project.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/7047b671-c4f2-4df0-bb0a-b9b511fd2452/Images/Documentation/What's%20Shipped%20Banner.png)

**![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/7047b671-c4f2-4df0-bb0a-b9b511fd2452/Images/Documentation/Admins and Managers release tag.png)**

**New Sidekick Guides and Answers Performance Dashboard**

We've introduced [a new dashboard](https://help.gladly.com/docs/sidekick-guides-and-answers-performance-dashboard) that captures Guide and Answers performance data in a single view. Admins and Team Managers can use this dashboard to identify opportunities where Guide or Answers content can be improved in order to maximize Sidekick’s potential.

Since this new view offers broader insights across both Answers and Guides, it will take the place of the old Sidekick Answer Performance Dashboard.

**Focus Events Added to Agent Timestamps Report**

The [Agent Timestamps report](https://help.gladly.com/docs/agent-timestamps) now includes ‘AGENT_AVAILABILITY/FOCUS_ENTERED’ and ‘AGENT_AVAILABILITY/FOCUS_EXITED’ events, giving you deeper visibility into Support Hero activity. These events are also available in the Agent Events data set in Insight Builder for more detailed analysis.

**Fulfillment Tracking Support Added to BigCommerce Connector**

The [BigCommerce](https://help.gladly.com/docs/bigcommerce-overview) connector now includes fulfillment tracking support. Support Heroes can view shipping details, tracking numbers, and carrier information directly within the Customer Profile for BigCommerce orders, making it easier to support post-purchase inquiries.

![Announcement of upcoming features and product news for Sandbox users.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/7047b671-c4f2-4df0-bb0a-b9b511fd2452/Images/Documentation/What's%20Coming%20Banner.png)

**New Sub-processor for Enhanced Data Orchestration**

We’ve added Airbyte as a new sub-processor to support data orchestration. Airbyte will be used to populate merchant-related product information into Gladly’s CRM. This enables our Sales, Support, and other internal teams to access more complete and up-to-date data, improving the service and value we provide to Customers.

**New Sub-processor for Enhanced Voice AI Performance**

[Groq](https://groq.com) provides high-performance AI inference hardware and software designed to accelerate large language models and machine learning workloads. We use Groq as a sub-processor to power faster, more efficient execution of AI models within our Sidekick Voice service, improving responsiveness and overall performance.

**[Coming Soon] “Chat” Renamed to “Chat”**

To better reflect its function and improve clarity, Chat will be renamed to Chat in the Settings page by the end of August. This is a naming update only—no changes to functionality or configuration are required.

![Overview of resolved issues and bugs that have been addressed recently.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/7047b671-c4f2-4df0-bb0a-b9b511fd2452/Images/Documentation/Resolved%20Issues%20Banner.png)

**500 Internal Server Error During BigCommerce Customer Lookups**

Fixed – Customer lookups via the BigCommerce connector are more reliable, with reduced failures caused by missing or invalid email addresses—ensuring more consistent and stable data retrieval.

![Announcement for upcoming events, notices, and news updates for the community.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/7047b671-c4f2-4df0-bb0a-b9b511fd2452/Images/Documentation/Don't%20Miss%20Out%20Banner.png)

**Improved Error Handling for Task Creation API**

Fixed – The ‘Create Task for Customer’ API now returns a 409 error when attempting to create a task with an existing ID, rather than a 500 error. The new response includes a detailed JSON error message, consistent with our [API documentation](https://developer.gladly.com/rest/#operation/createTask), making error handling clearer and more reliable.

**Guide Column Renamed to Sidekick Profile**

In the [Guides performance page](https://help.gladly.com/docs/journeys-for-guides) within Journeys, the “Guide” column has been renamed to “Sidekick Profile” for improved clarity. This column represents the Sidekick instance associated with a given Guide name.

**Improved Magento Order Data Handling**

We’ve enhanced the [Magento](https://help.gladly.com/docs/magento?highlight=magento) 2 connector to ensure order attributes are passed correctly and more consistently. Updates include:

- Additional order, fulfillment, and product attributes now appear in Customer profiles
- Improved support for Magento extensions and custom fields

Note: To display some of these additional fields in the Gladly profile, please [contact Gladly Support](https://academy.gladly.com/contact-gladly-support/) for setup assistance.

**Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Protection for Attachment Links**

The Chat SDK now sanitizes file and image attachment URLs to prevent XSS vulnerabilities, strengthening protection against malicious links.

**Email Added as Channel Filter in Guide Performance Page**

Admins and Team Managers will now see Email as a selectable filter in the Guide performance page. While the filter is currently visible in the UI, data is not yet available. This update is part of our preparation for the upcoming open access launch of Sidekick Email and will support deeper performance insights once the channel is fully active.

**App Platform Now Powers Hero, Too**

The [Gladly App Platform now supports the Hero interface](https://help.gladly.com/developer-tutorials/docs/app-platform), delivering on our vision to integrate once and use everywhere. A single app integration can power both Sidekick and Hero, giving your team and your AI access to the same real-time data.

It’s easier than ever to build apps that bring key Customer details into the Hero interface. Cards bring you additional customization of how that data appears, so Support Heroes see what they need, right when they need it. That same data can also drive rules and routing to enable more consistent, scalable service.

At the end of the day, it’s all about extensibility and flexibility. With the App Platform, it’s now easier than ever to bring the data your teams need into Gladly, displayed your way, built to scale with your business.

**![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/7047b671-c4f2-4df0-bb0a-b9b511fd2452/Images/Documentation/Admins and Managers release tag.png)**

**Improved Accuracy in Sidekick Dashboards and Reports**

[Sidekick dashboards](https://help.gladly.com/docs/sidekick-dashboard-1), [reports](https://help.gladly.com/docs/sidekick-reports), and the underlying source data in Insight Builder have been updated to exclude Conversations with a null channel. These typically represent instances where Sidekick did not engage as expected and should not be counted toward assists or resolutions.

**Expanded CSAT Report Compatibility**

The [CSAT Summary report](https://help.gladly.com/docs/customer-satisfaction-csat) now supports an additional survey format in Simplesat. This update ensures more comprehensive data capture across varied survey types.

**New ‘Company Address’ Field in Work Sessions Report**

The [Work Sessions report](https://help.gladly.com/docs/work-sessions-v3) now includes the ‘Company Address’ field, which provides context on the entry point that Customers used to contact your support team. Typically, multi-brand organizations will use a different Gladly entry point (e.g. Retalé vs. Retalé Factory Store) to differentiate inbound Contact volumes across brands. This enhancement makes it easier to understand how your Support Heroes are spending their time supporting different Customer cohorts across your brands.

**Date Range Filter Did Not Apply Correctly in Journeys Performance Pages**

Fixed – Date range filters on the [Answers Performance](https://help.gladly.com/docs/answers-performance-overview) and [Guide Performance](https://help.gladly.com/docs/journeys-for-guides) pages now accurately reflect only the Conversations that occurred within the selected range.
