## Linear ticket
https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-7187/voice-calls-followup-tasks
## Description
Improvements to the WhatsApp voice-calling experience plus a cheaper,
more accurate audio-transcription model.
- First-time callers now get a real name. An inbound WhatsApp call
creates the contact from the caller's WhatsApp profile name instead of
the bare phone number.
- Clear, consistent call attribution. Call bubbles show a unified
"Handled by {agent}"
- Cleaner call widget. The dismiss (✕) button is shown only for incoming
calls
- WhatsApp calling for manual inboxes. voice_calling_supported? now
covers any whatsapp_cloud inbox
- Transcription: whisper-1 → gpt-4o-mini-transcribe.

The idempotent upgrade only created missing object stores, so bumping
DATA_VERSION no longer reset bad or stale data — it just added stores. This
restores a bump as a true global cache flush: the upgrade now clears every
existing store before recreating any missing ones, so shipping a version
bump forces all clients to refetch fresh on next boot.
Gated on oldVersion > 0 so fresh installs skip the flush, and clearing
before creating means only pre-existing stores are touched. This is the
break-glass lever for the one non-self-healing failure mode (non-empty
store holding wrong-shaped data paired with a matching cache key), e.g.
after a serializer shape change shipped without a version bump.
Adds bulk label removal alongside the existing assign-label action for
conversations and contacts, so teams can clean up labels across selected
records without opening each item individually.
For conversations, the remove dropdown is scoped to labels that are
actually applied across the current selection — so agents no longer see
(or accidentally "remove") labels that aren't on any of the selected
items. For contacts, the dropdown still lists all account labels for
now; label data isn't carried on the contact list payload today, so
scoping the contact remove menu cleanly is being tracked as a follow-up.
## Closes
N/A
## How to test
- Open the conversation list, select multiple conversations, open
**Remove labels**, and confirm the dropdown only lists labels that are
applied to at least one selected conversation. Pick a label and confirm
it's removed from the selection.
- Open Contacts, select multiple contacts, use **Remove Labels**, choose
a label, and confirm the selected contacts are refreshed without that
label.
- Verify **Assign Labels** still works for conversations and contacts,
and continues to show every available label.
## What changed
- Adds an `action` prop to the shared `BulkLabelActions` dropdown so it
can render in `assign` or `remove` mode.
- Wires conversation bulk remove to the existing `labels.remove` backend
path and filters the dropdown to the union of labels applied across the
selected conversations.
- Adds contact bulk remove support through
`Contacts::BulkRemoveLabelsService`, routed by
`Contacts::BulkActionService`.
- Raises contact label save failures instead of reporting a successful
bulk action when a contact update is invalid.
## Follow-ups
- Scope the contact remove dropdown to applied labels (needs a
lightweight endpoint, or eventually `cached_label_list` on `Contact`).

In WhatsApp coexistence setups (Business App + Cloud API on the same
number), some inbound customer messages arrive from Meta as `type:
unsupported` with error `131060` ("This message is unavailable") and no
content — typically the first message of a Click-to-WhatsApp /
Instagram-ad conversation, or a message synced from a companion device.
Chatwoot was dropping these webhooks entirely, so no contact,
conversation, or message was created. The conversation only surfaced
once an agent replied (via an `smb_message_echoes` event), starting
"headless" with zero customer context.
This change persists a placeholder message for these events so the
contact and conversation are created, and renders it with the dedicated
unsupported-message bubble that points agents to the WhatsApp app —
where the original message is still visible.
Fixes

## How to reproduce
1. Connect a WhatsApp Cloud (coexistence) inbox.
2. Receive an inbound message that Meta delivers as `type: unsupported`
with error `131060` (e.g. a Click-to-WhatsApp ad message, or a message
handled on a companion/primary device that fails to sync to the API).
3. **Before:** nothing is created — the conversation only appears after
an agent replies, with no record of the customer's first message.
4. **After:** the contact and conversation are created with an incoming
placeholder message rendered as the amber "unsupported" bubble: _"This
message is unsupported. You can view this message on the WhatsApp app."

On high-volume accounts, the dashboard sidebar's conversation count
badges fall behind because a meaningful share of
`/api/v1/accounts/:id/conversations/meta` requests get rate-limited
(per-user throttle, default 30 req/min).
Root cause is in `conversationStats.js`. The tiered debounce uses
`allCount` from the last response to pick a wait interval. `allCount`
reflects the user's *current filtered scope*, not the account's true
volume — so an agent viewing a small filter on a busy account falls into
the most aggressive tier (500ms wait / 1.5s maxWait → up to 40
calls/min/tab) and trips the throttle.
## What changed
`app/javascript/dashboard/store/modules/conversationStats.js`:
- Short-tier `maxWait`: `1500 → 2000` (caps short-tier at 30/min/tab
instead of 40)
- Super-long-tier threshold: `allCount > 5000 → > 2000` (more
high-volume accounts fall into the safe 3/min/tab tier)
- Middle-tier threshold unchanged (`> 100`)
| Tier (allCount) | wait / maxWait | Calls/min/tab |
|---|---|---|
| `> 2000` | 10s / 20s | 3 |
| `> 100` | 5s / 10s | 6 |
| else | 500ms / 2s | 30 |
## Trade-off
Badge updates (including those triggered by the agent's own action) may
lag by up to the tier's `maxWait` — worst case 20s for accounts with >
2000 open conversations in the active scope. The conversation list
itself and push notifications continue to update in real time; only the
numeric badge is debounced.
## Not in scope
- Sticky-max `allCount` to fix the underlying tier-selection signal —
defer until the simpler tuning is validated in production
- Optimistic count updates on local user actions — adds non-trivial
state management for a cosmetic lag
## Summary
Frontend for WhatsApp Cloud Calling: header / contact-panel call
buttons, ringing widget, accept/reject/hangup, mute, in-bubble audio
player + transcript, recording-on-hangup upload, mid-call reload
warning. WebRTC is browser-direct to Meta — no media server bridge.
## Closes
- https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/PLA-150
## How to test
Requires backend support — the controller, services, model changes, and
routes ship in **#14334** (`feature/pla-150`). Merge / deploy that first
(or simultaneously); the FE alone won't function without those
endpoints.
Then on staging, for a WhatsApp Cloud + embedded-signup inbox with the
new \`Configuration → Enable voice calling\` toggle ON and webhook
registered:
1. **Outbound** — open a conversation, click the phone icon in the
conversation header (or contact panel), grant mic, your phone rings,
answer, audio both ways, hang up. Recording + transcript land in the
bubble within ~10s.
2. **Inbound** — call the business number from your phone. The
FloatingCallWidget appears bottom-right with caller name. Click accept,
audio both ways, hang up. Recording + transcript appear.
3. **Mute** — during an active WhatsApp call, click the mic icon next to
hangup. Speech stops reaching Meta until you click again.
4. **Mid-call reload guard** — try `Cmd-R` during an active call;
browser shows a confirm prompt.

Chatwoot now lets external apps know when an inbox loses its connection
and needs re-authentication. When a channel's authorization expires (for
example, an email inbox disconnects), Chatwoot fires an `inbox_updated`
webhook reflecting the new `reauthorization_required` status, and fires
it again once the inbox is re-authenticated. Integrators can keep their
own view of which inboxes are healthy without polling the API.
This is gated behind the `ENABLE_INBOX_EVENTS` installation flag — the
**Inbox updated** webhook subscription only appears in the dashboard
when that flag is enabled, so no event is offered that the backend
wouldn't dispatch.
Fixes
https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-7148/emit-inbox-webhook-when-an-inbox-is-disconnected
## How to test
1. Set `ENABLE_INBOX_EVENTS=true` and restart the app.
2. In **Settings → Integrations → Webhooks**, add a webhook and
subscribe to **Inbox updated**.
3. Disconnect an inbox — let an email/Instagram channel hit its
auth-error threshold, or run `inbox.channel.prompt_reauthorization!` in
a console.
4. The endpoint receives an `inbox_updated` event whose
`changed_attributes` shows `reauthorization_required` flipping to
`true`.
5. Re-authenticate the inbox (or run `inbox.channel.reauthorized!`) —
the endpoint receives the `true → false` transition.
6. Confirm the **Inbox updated** option is hidden when
`ENABLE_INBOX_EVENTS` is unset.

Cached fetches no longer issue a /cache_keys preflight per call. The client
trusts whatever it has in IDB and keeps it fresh through ActionCable
broadcasts and the existing reconnect-time batch revalidate.
On warm boots a new hydrateStoresFromCache helper seeds Vuex from IDB
before ActionCable connects, so inboxes, labels, teams, canned responses,
and agents render immediately from cache. The helper snapshots local cache
keys before fetching server keys — without that ordering the comparison
would always see "fresh" against the just-written key and stale data would
be served forever. Stale entries are revalidated in the background; cold
devices stay on the network-fetch path with no regression.
Also awaits replace inside refetchAndCommit so the data write completes
before the cache key is persisted, closing a window where a concurrent
reader could see a fresh key paired with stale data.
Converts the canned-response and agent API clients to CacheEnabledApiClient
subclasses and wires revalidate actions into the corresponding Vuex modules,
so settings pages and pickers stop fetching the same lists on every visit.
The canned-response search box continues to bypass the cache and hit the
network directly, so server-side ordering stays authoritative.
Also fixes a pre-existing gap in teams/revalidate: SET_TEAMS merges into a
record dict by id and never removes missing entries, so a team deleted
server-side would survive a reconnect-driven revalidate. Now matches the
get action by emitting CLEAR_TEAMS first.
Each affected spec clears its IDB store before every case, since the
preflight-throws-on-axios-reject pattern they relied on is going away in the
next commit.
Replaces the three hardcoded dispatches in actionCable.onCacheInvalidate and
ReconnectService.revalidateCaches with a loop over cacheableModels. Adding a
new cached model no longer requires editing these two handlers — they pick
it up automatically from the registry.
Also guards against partial server payloads: dispatches are skipped for
models whose key is undefined, so a client running ahead of a server
deploy keeps working without spurious dispatches.
Introduces cacheableModels.js as the source of truth for which models the
client caches in IDB and how to dispatch their revalidate actions. DataManager
derives modelsToSync from the registry and creates object stores
idempotently, so adding new cached models needs only one place to change
plus a one-time DATA_VERSION bump.
Also fixes two latent bugs that the upcoming boot-hydration relies on:
setCacheKeys now awaits all per-key writes (was async-forEach with no await),
and replace awaits clear before push (avoids ConstraintError on rapid
refetches).

Quoted email replies is now available to every account by default.
Previously this was gated behind the `quoted_email_reply` account-level
feature flag, so accounts needed it toggled on (via Super Admin) before
agents saw the toggle in the reply box.
## How to test
1. Open any conversation on an email inbox.
2. Confirm the **Quote previous email** toggle is visible in the reply
box (and is **not** visible on private notes or non-email channels).
3. Toggle it on, type a reply, and send — the outbound email should
include the quoted prior email below your message.
4. Toggle it off and send another reply — the quoted block should not
appear.
5. The toggle preference should persist per channel type (UI setting),
as before.
6. Verify the toggle works on a brand new account with no feature flags
flipped on (previously it would have been hidden).
## What changed
- Removed all `isFeatureEnabledonAccount(..., QUOTED_EMAIL_REPLY)` gates
from `ReplyBox.vue`, so the toggle and quoted-content behavior are
unconditional on email channels.
- Removed the `QUOTED_EMAIL_REPLY` constant from
`dashboard/featureFlags.js`.
- Marked the flag as `deprecated: true` in `config/features.yml` (kept
the entry in place to preserve FlagShihTzu bit positions on existing
accounts; `deprecated: true` hides it from the Super Admin UI).
- Dropped the now-unnecessary
`account.enable_features('quoted_email_reply')` setup from the message
builder spec.
On WhatsApp and any channel that disables the reply editor outside its
messaging window (WhatsApp Cloud, Twilio WhatsApp, API channels with
`agent_reply_time_window` set), when the window was already expired and
a new inbound message arrived in real-time, the "messaging restricted"
banner correctly hid but the editor itself stayed un-typeable until the
agent refreshed the page. This made the dashboard look like it accepted
replies even though typing did nothing.
Fixes
[CW-7087](https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-7087/reply-editor-stays-disabled-after-real-time-incoming-message-reopens)
#### How to reproduce
1. Open a WhatsApp conversation whose last incoming message is older
than 24h, so `can_reply` is `false` (banner shown, editor greyed out).
2. With the dashboard open on that conversation, have the customer send
a fresh inbound message (or simulate one via the channel's webhook).
3. Before the fix: banner disappears, editor wrapper loses its disabled
styling, but clicking into the editor and typing does nothing — refresh
required.
4. After the fix: banner disappears and the editor accepts input
immediately.

Stop the onboarding flow from writing the user's company website into
`accounts.domain`. That column is reserved for the inbound email domain
used to construct reply-to addresses (`reply+<uuid>@<domain>`), and
silently overloading it from onboarding was breaking email continuity
for accounts whose domain MX didn't point at Chatwoot's inbound —
customer replies were going to an unreachable address.
The website value now lives in `custom_attributes.website`, which is
what the rest of the app already treats as the "company website" field.
# Pull Request Template
## Description
This PR adds IMAP authentication mechanism selection to Chatwoot's email
inbox configuration. Users can now choose between 'plain', 'login', and
'cram-md5' authentication methods when configuring IMAP settings,
providing flexibility for different email providers that require
specific authentication types.
https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/issues/8867
The implementation includes:
- Frontend dropdown with numeric keys (1, 2, 3) matching SMTP auth style
- Backend API validation for allowed authentication mechanisms
- Consistent 'cram-md5' format throughout the codebase
- Updated IMAP service to handle different auth types properly
This feature maintains consistency with existing SMTP authentication
options and follows the established UI/UX patterns in the application.
## Type of change
Please delete options that are not relevant.
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality not to work as expected)
- [ ] This change requires a documentation update
## How Has This Been Tested?
### Manual Testing:
- Tested in Docker environment
- Verified IMAP auth dropdown appears in inbox settings
- Confirmed all three auth mechanisms (plain, login, cram-md5) can be
selected and saved
- Tested API validation by attempting to save invalid auth mechanisms
### Automated Testing:
- Updated existing IMAP service tests to use consistent lowercase values
- Updated API controller tests for authentication parameter handling
- All tests pass locally with the new changes
### Test Configuration:
- Tested with both new and existing inbox configurations

## Additional Notes
- This feature is backward compatible and doesn't break existing IMAP
configurations

storage, services)
- Net::IMAP compatibility is maintained by converting to 'CRAM-MD5'
internally
- Follows the same pattern established by SMTP authentication
configuration
