What’s Fixed & Improved
1) Critical billing integrity fix (Dec 15)
We fixed a critical issue where users could receive paid plan benefits despite failed Stripe payments:- Users are no longer upgraded to paid plans when Stripe marks a subscription as incomplete or incomplete_expired (initial payment never succeeds)
- Only active and trialing subscriptions now trigger plan/credit updates
- Failed payments and expired subscriptions are now handled correctly, ensuring users remain on their correct plan (e.g., Free plan if payment fails)
2) Conversation history controls for integrations (Dec 17)
You can now enable or disable conversation history for messaging integrations:- Available for WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram
- Controlled per integration in your integration settings
- When disabled, agents won’t retain conversation context between messages
3) Improved onboarding experience (Dec 17)
We upgraded the onboarding system with a better guided tour:- Replaced the previous onboarding with NextStep.js for smoother, more reliable tours
- Clearer step-by-step guidance for new users
- Better visual indicators and flow
4) Smoother workflow creation from templates (Dec 15)
Creating workflows from templates is now faster:- Templates now open directly in the workflow editor (skips the setup modal)
- Draft workflows are properly detected and labeled
- Cleaner navigation flow when working with templates
5) Knowledge base limits updated (Dec 17)
For new users, the default knowledge base limit has been adjusted:- Changed from 5 knowledge bases → 1 knowledge base for Free plan users
- Aligns with updated plan structure

FAQ
What was the billing issue?In rare cases, users could receive paid plan benefits even when their initial payment failed or expired. This has been fixed to ensure billing accuracy. Will this affect my existing paid subscription?
No—this fix only prevents incorrect upgrades. If you have an active, valid subscription, nothing changes. Can I disable conversation history for all my integrations?
Yes—you can control this setting individually for WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram integrations. Why would I want to disable conversation history?
For privacy requirements, compliance, or if you want each message to be treated independently without context from previous messages. What happened to the old onboarding tour?
We replaced it with a better system (NextStep.js) that’s more reliable, maintainable, and provides a smoother experience. Do templates still work the same way?
Yes—but now when you create a workflow from a template, you skip the setup modal and go directly to editing, which is faster. What if I’m on the Free plan and had more than 1 knowledge base?
This change only affects new users. Existing users keep their current knowledge bases.
