A while back, we added a UX enhancement that disabled sending the OOO
message when an agent had replied to the conversation in the last 5
minutes.
https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/pull/11073
This would not send a "we will be back" message even if that reply was a
private note. This would break for bots that posted private notes, and
even for agents who need to just add a note and not actually reply to
the email.
At 5 PM, when business hours officially end, an automatic out-of-office
message is sent to customers. However, this creates a poor experience if
an agent is actively chatting with the customer. This update ensures
that the out-of-office message is only sent if no agent message has been
sent in the last 5 minutes. If the customer reaches out again after 5
minutes, the out-of-office message will be triggered.
When using client APIs to create conversations and auto-assignment is turned on, welcome messages were getting triggered. This PR disable the behaviour and ensure template hooks are triggered only if there are incoming messages present.
Fixes: https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-2187
- fix the wrong conversation status being sent in webhooks
- additional information in websocket events
- refactor activity messaging code
- move activity message generation to background job to stop the callback loop
