  • Inbox: Draft messages (not sent yet) are now visible straight from the conversations list.
  • Inbox: If you edit the last message of a conversation or if the last message of a conversation is a private note, it’ll be visible in the conversations’ list.

  • Inbox: Mentions inside a private note are now highlighted to make them more visible.
  • Inbox: When you start writing a message and close the tab, the browser, or reload it, the message will still be there next time you visit the conversation.
  • Inbox: If a conversation is assigned to a ghost operator (not member anymore of your Crisp workspace), it will now be shown as such thanks to a dedicated filter.
