- Released version 3.10.9 of the Telerivet Android app, which adds "Message route fetch delay" and "Message route fetch jitter" settings (on Message Sending Parameters) to give more control over distribution of messages sent via load-balanced routes.
19 September 2016
- In Custom Actions and Custom Call Flows, the "run subroutine" action has been added to allow reusing groups of actions within a service.
- When a project has multiple services that handle incoming messages, certain services can be run for all incoming messages regardless of other services (for example, a webhook service can forward all messages to an external server, even messages that were handled by a poll service).
- Messaging services now support response time limits.
- In Custom Actions, the "wait for response" action supports a time limit with optional actions that run if the contact doesn't respond within the time limit. Services no longer have a "global" response time limit; all services previously using a global response time limit have been automatically migrated to have a time limit for each "wait for response" action.
- The Poll service (for messaging) now supports a response time limit, with optional actions that run if the contact doesn't respond within the time limit, for example to remind the contact to answer the question. If a time limit contains an action, another time limit can be defined after the previously time limit expires (up to 3 times per question).
- When a response timeout is generated by a service that sends an outgoing message, the timeout is only started once the message is actually sent by the gateway (which may be a while after the message is queued).
- Cloud Script API changes
- New Cloud Script API services now require a main() method, and stateful conversation flows should be handled via addResponseHandler . (This change does not apply to "run JavaScript code" actions, where code still runs at the top level of the script without calling main() or using addResponseHandler.) Existing scripts without a main() method will run without changes using the "backwards compatibility" setting. To upgrade an existing service, refactor the code to use main() and addResponseHandler, then disable the backwards compatibility setting under "Advanced settings".
- Response time limits are supported in Cloud Script API services via waitForResponse and addTimeoutHandler.
- Added helper functions for formatting phone numbers.
- The moment timezone library has been added for manipulating dates in a local timezone.
- Cloud Script API services and "run JavaScript code" rules run in the context of a dedicated service account, and permissions can be granted to the service account like other users (service accounts don't count as a user for service plan limits). By default, new service accounts are granted the "Project contributor" role, however projects already using the Cloud Script API have a service account in the "Project administrator" role for backwards compatibility.
- Scheduled messages are sent in 15 second intervals, and services can schedule messages in multiples of 0.25 minutes (scheduled messages were previously only sent once per minute)
- Scheduled messages now appear in the simulated phone when testing services
- Limit the number of service-generated "send email" actions per day to the number of messages per day allowed by the service plan.
- Allow adding a delay after each message sent via an SMS gateway provider.
- When a service applied to a message generates an error, the (last) error message of the service is saved as the error message on the message itself, so that service errors are visible on the Messages page.
- Organization administrators can delete unused organizations from the Organization Settings page, as long as the organization has no projects (or all projects have been deleted) and no billing history.
- An email notification is sent if outgoing messages queued on a route are still queued and not assigned to any phone after several hours.
- Voice Beta:
- Cloud Script API now supports voice (documentation).
- Message templates and preview are now available for text-to-speech calls.
- Text-to-speech calls can be sent in either a male or female voice (when available)
- Projects can set a default language and voice for text-to-speech calls.
- Voice broadcasts can be automatically repeated once, in case the recipient didn't hear the first occurrence or in case it played during a voicemail prompt.
- Pricing for voice calls via Nexmo virtual numbers purchased via Telerivet has been defined.

- When multiple services are active for handling incoming messages, any services where a contact has "state" will be tried first, in order of the most recent time that service was applied for that contact.
