Roadmap

Where Connect is going next.

What we are building now, what is next in line, and what we are exploring. It is a direction rather than a list of dates — and what you tell us shapes it.

The road ahead

Follow the road.

It starts with what is already in Connect, runs through what we are building now and what is next in line, and on to what we are exploring.

  1. Building nowPartners

    1. A partner programme for agencies

    Agencies that bring customers to Connect earn commission on what those customers buy, with their own portal for customers, discount codes, earnings and monthly payouts to their bank. Built, and on its way.

  2. Up nextEmail

    2. Click tracking on your own domain

    Where opens and clicks are measured, tracked links will point at your own domain too, over a secure connection.

  3. Building nowMobile

    3. Connect for iPhone

    The same account as the web and Android — chats, contacts, leads, tickets and results — with a full-screen alert when a customer is waiting.

  4. Building nowSecurity

    4. A sign-in code from your phone

    Signing in with your password will also ask for a code — shown by itself in the Connect app on your phone, or sent by email or text when your phone is not to hand. Built, and on its way with the next app update.

  5. Building nowEmail

    5. Email in the Android app

    Your email campaigns and their results in the Connect app, beside your other channels — built, and on its way to phones with the next app update.

  6. Building nowPush notifications

    6. Push notifications

    Notifications to the people who subscribe on your website and in your Android and iOS apps — targeted by topic and segment, sent in each person’s own time, with quiet hours, A/B versions and click results.

  7. Up nextPush notifications

    7. Automated push series

    A series of push notifications that runs by itself — a welcome series, a reminder a few days later — and new posts on your blog pushed as they appear.

  8. Up nextTeam inbox

    8. Notes on a conversation

    Leave a note for your team on any chat — what was promised, what to check — that the customer never sees.

  9. Up nextLive chat

    9. Product cards in website chat

    Products from your store shown as cards with a picture and price in your website’s chat, as they are on WhatsApp.

  10. Up nextWhatsApp

    10. Forms inside WhatsApp

    A short form a customer fills in without leaving the chat — a booking, a sign-up, a quote request.

  11. ExploringEmail

    11. Email from your own systems

    Send through Connect from any system that speaks standard email, with your results in one place.

  12. ExploringEmail

    12. Dedicated sending for high volume

    Sending reserved for your business alone, for the largest senders.

  13. ExploringIntegrations

    13. A place to find apps that work with Connect

    Browse the apps that connect to your Connect account, see what each one can do, and connect one from inside Connect — today you start from the app itself.

  14. ExploringLive chat

    14. Live chat built into your app

    The chat window as a native part of your Android and iPhone apps, with a notification on your customer’s phone when you reply.

  15. ExploringAI assistant

    15. Answers that appear as they are written

    The assistant’s reply shown word by word, so customers see it working rather than waiting.

  16. ExploringWhatsApp

    16. Your choice of number for automated messages

    Messages your own systems start on WhatsApp sent from whichever of your numbers you choose — sales from sales, support from support.
