    WhatsApp support for interactive rich link messages 

    Third-Party Digital Channels

    Customer engagement

    Bot authors can now configure rich link messages for WhatsApp, enabling bots to send interactive call-to-action (CTA) URL button messages. Agents can also send text messages with a link preview when interacting with customers through WhatsApp. If a message contains multiple URLs, only the first link displays a preview.

    Public availability of the workitems Query Sync API 

    Work Automation

    Customer engagement

    Administrators can now make the work automation Query Sync API publicly available for operational lookups of workitems. Developers, partners, and solution architects can synchronously query workitems with up to three filters or by a single workitem ID to quickly retrieve the current state of a specific item. This update helps improve performance and predictability for real-time, single-record lookups by reducing reliance on asynchronous queries for these scenarios. The Query Sync API is intended for focused, low-latency queries, while the existing workitems job query API remains available for broader searches across large sets of workitems.

    Generate schedules using minimum coverage
