Astra's voice agent becomes a genuine conversational partner with interruption handling, cleaner transcripts, and 9 Indian languages. Here's everything that shipped.</h2><hr /><h1>🛍️ Wati for Shopify</h1><h2>Recover carts before they reach checkout</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Abandoned checkouts only tell half the story. The shoppers most likely to convert are the ones who added items and disappeared before they even got to checkout — and until now, they were invisible.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Wati now tracks Add to Cart events on Shopify. When a shopper adds items and leaves, a pre-built 3-step recovery sequence fires automatically on WhatsApp or RCS — at 30 minutes, 6 hours, and 24 hours. The sequence stops the moment they reply, start checkout, or place an order. Enable in one click — no building from scratch.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Growth, Pro, Business</p><p><a href=\"https://support.wati.io/en/articles/14014597-how-to-use-advanced-automations-for-shopify-in-wati\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more →</a></p><hr /><h3><br /></h3><h2>Build custom Shopify automation rules across any channel</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Merchants who needed multi-step custom logic — branching conditions, fallback channels, non-standard timing — had to work around Wati's fixed automation options.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Shopify events are now triggers inside Wati's Automation Rules engine. Build fully custom WhatsApp, RCS, or SMS workflows tied to any Shopify moment. Channel fallback is configurable within each rule, and attribution — Revenue, ROI, Conversion Rate — is tracked at rule level. Abandoned Checkout and Abandoned Cart rules ship pre-built and ready to enable.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Growth, Pro, Business</p><p><a href=\"https://support.wati.io/en/articles/14014597-how-to-use-advanced-automations-for-shopify-in-wati\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more →</a></p><hr /><h3><br /></h3><h2>Go from install to live automation the same day</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Most merchants who installed Wati for Shopify never activated a single automation in their first two weeks. The setup flow buried the steps that actually mattered.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Onboarding is rebuilt into a 2-stage Quick Start. A short questionnaire adapts the flow to your experience level. The setup dashboard then surfaces only the minimum steps to go live — showing your actual store data (revenue at risk, live abandoned checkout count) so there's a reason to act immediately.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Growth, Pro, Business</p><hr /><h3><br /></h3><h2>One consistent analytics view across all Shopify automations</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Metric names changed between tabs, definitions were inconsistent, and there were no clear funnel indicators — making it hard to compare performance or trust what the numbers were saying.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>The Shopify analytics dashboard is fully redesigned with three consistent layers across every trigger: Hero Metrics (Spend, Orders, Revenue, ROI), Health Metrics (Sent, Delivered, Delivery Rate, Clicked), and trigger-specific funnel data. RCS is tracked alongside WhatsApp, and Automation Rules data feeds into the same dashboard.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Growth, Pro, Business</p><hr /><h3>Create contact segments via API</h3><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Teams managing large audiences at scale needed programmatic control over how contacts are grouped — without having to touch the Wati dashboard every time.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Custom contact segments can now be created and managed via API, giving developers and power users full control over audience segmentation.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Growth, Pro, Business</p><hr /><h2><br /></h2><h1>📞 WhatsApp Calling</h1><h2>Every call recording, transcript, and AI summary — in one place</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Recordings, transcripts, and summaries were scattered across views, making it hard for managers to review call quality, coach agents, or pull material for audits without digging around.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>The new Call Recording vault centralises every recording alongside its AI-generated transcript and summary. Filter by call type, operator, date range, or business number. Download individual recordings or export up to 50 at once for audits and reviews.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Growth, Pro, Business <em>(requires WhatsApp Calling)</em></p><p><a href=\"https://support.wati.io/en/articles/15252330-how-to-access-and-manage-call-recordings-transcripts-and-summaries-in-wati\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more →</a></p><hr /><h3><br /></h3><h2>Set a retention policy — Wati handles compliance automatically</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>In regulated industries, holding call recordings longer than required is a compliance risk. Managing deletion manually is error-prone and easy to forget.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Admins can now configure an auto-deletion policy per account — choose a retention duration and Wati removes recordings automatically once they age past it. Auto-deletion is off by default; opt in based on your regulatory or internal requirements.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Growth, Pro, Business <em>(requires WhatsApp Calling)</em></p><p><a href=\"https://support.wati.io/en/articles/15252330-how-to-access-and-manage-call-recordings-transcripts-and-summaries-in-wati\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more →</a></p><hr /><h1><br /></h1><h1>📊 Ads</h1><h2>See the full funnel from Google and TikTok ads to WhatsApp</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Customers running Google or TikTok ads had no visibility into what happened after a click — no way to see whether someone became a lead, started a conversation, or converted.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Full-funnel conversion analytics are now live for whitelisted Google and TikTok ad accounts. View performance from ad click to lead qualification and purchase directly in Wati, and retarget high-intent contacts from the same view.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Business <em>(available upon whitelisting — contact your CSM)</em></p><hr /><h1><br /></h1><h1>💡 Better AI Support Agent Capabilities</h1><h2>On Knowbot? Time to move to Astra.</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Knowbot served its purpose, but Astra is where the AI roadmap lives — a more capable knowledge base, truly autonomous conversations, richer tool calling, and full control over agent behaviour.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Migrating from Knowbot to Astra is now one click. Context is auto-extracted — no manual URL input required. Reach out to our support team to get your migration scoped and scheduled.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> All plans</p><p><strong>Demo:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.loom.com/share/f2d3bb9678184f4a9f2f9cf75fb2894f\" target=\"_blank\">Watch demo →</a></p><hr /><h1><br /></h1><h1>🤖 Astra</h1><h2>Your Astra agent can now handle audio messages</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Voice notes are one of the most common message types on WhatsApp. Agents that couldn't process them were silently missing a significant chunk of incoming conversations.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Astra agents now support WhatsApp audio messages — automatically downloaded and transcribed via Astra's internal ASR — so your agent can handle voice notes the same way it handles text, both incoming and outgoing.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Business</p><hr /><h3><br /></h3><h2>Your voice agent now speaks 9 Indian languages — with natural code-switching</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>India-market deployments need agents fluent in the language customers are most comfortable in. Coverage of 6 languages was a start — 9 with native code-switching is a step change.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Astra Voice previously supported 6 Indian languages via Sarvam ASR and TTS. This month adds Telugu, Gujarati, and Marathi — bringing total coverage to 9 regional languages, all with native code-switching so agents handle mixed-language conversations naturally.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> All Astra plans</p><hr /><h3><br /></h3><h2>Cantonese and English in the same conversation</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Hong Kong users naturally switch between Cantonese and English mid-conversation. An agent that handles only one language at a time breaks the flow.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Astra Voice now handles bilingual Cantonese/English conversations, purpose-built for Hong Kong deployments where code-switching is the norm.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> All Astra plans</p><hr /><h3><br /></h3><h2>Interrupt mid-sentence — the agent actually listens</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Rigid turn-taking makes voice agents feel like automated phone menus. Real conversations involve interruptions, and agents that can't handle them lose the user's trust fast.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Astra Voice now handles mid-sentence interruptions gracefully — detecting when a user wants to cut in and yielding the floor instead of talking over them.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> All Astra plans</p><hr /><h2>Cleaner transcripts — no more filler noise</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Transcripts cluttered with \"haha\", heavy breathing, and filler sounds made them hard to use for coaching, audits, or records.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Voice transcription now filters out non-verbal noise and filler sounds, producing clean, readable transcripts that are actually usable downstream.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> All Astra plans</p><hr /><h2><br /></h2><h2>Supervise live AI conversations and step in when it counts</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>AI handles most conversations well — but when edge cases arise, supervisors need a way to intervene without disrupting the customer experience.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>Managers can now monitor AI-handled conversations in real time and take over mid-conversation when needed. Full human-in-the-loop control, without breaking the interaction.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> All Astra plans</p><hr /><h2><br /></h2><h2>Test your web widget agent before it goes live</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>Deploying a web widget agent without previewing its real behaviour has always been a leap of faith — fonts look different, backgrounds shift, and what looked fine in staging breaks in production.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>You can now test your web widget agent in an integrated playground directly inside Astra, with true-to-life UI/UX previews — including optimised default backgrounds and screenshot fallbacks for visual consistency — before it goes live on your site.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> All Astra plans</p><p><strong>Demo:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.dubbr.io/v/56e14385-184d-4aab-960f-fcead23de303\" target=\"_blank\">Watch demo →</a></p><hr /><h3><br /></h3><h2>Faster from idea to live agent</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>The agent creation and deployment flow had unnecessary friction — too many steps between configuring an agent and getting it in front of customers.</p><p><strong>The update</strong></p><p>A new agent creation flow, widget position controls, and an optimised save-and-deploy button cut the steps from first draft to live deployment. The Wati MCP server now ships official plug-and-play connectors for Slack, HubSpot, and Shopify — less custom code, more out-of-the-box capability from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI tool.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> All Astra plans</p><p><strong>Demo:</strong></p><p><br /></p><div data-embed-code=\"&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;https://iframely.net/api/iframe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvideos.dubbr.io%2Frenders%2Fhcp8ecmnhr%2Fcfb45107-75ab-45a0-b64d-cf5006eb85c3.mp4&amp;key=43a3be12f7061a5b091eebd789f9ecef&quot; style=&quot;top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;&quot; allowfullscreen allow=&quot;encrypted-media *;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;https://iframely.net/embed.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;\" data-embed-signature=\"G6s7eQo1sQP4pst3aw0555p4eY9AzebcNUEIGQGCqv0\" data-embed-url=\"https://videos.dubbr.io/renders/hcp8ecmnhr/cfb45107-75ab-45a0-b64d-cf5006eb85c3.mp4\">&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"&gt;&lt;iframe src=\"https://iframely.net/api/iframe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvideos.dubbr.io%2Frenders%2Fhcp8ecmnhr%2Fcfb45107-75ab-45a0-b64d-cf5006eb85c3.mp4&amp;key=43a3be12f7061a5b091eebd789f9ecef\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;\" allowfullscreen allow=\"encrypted-media *;\"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script async src=\"https://iframely.net/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><hr /><h3><br /></h3><h2>Graceful handling when a message type isn't supported</h2><p><strong>Why this matters</strong></p><p>When an agent went silent on an unsupported message type — video, document, sticker, location — customers had no idea why.

Wati didn't — and marketers were either building workarounds with Sequences or doing it manually. That's over.</p><p><strong>The update</strong><br />You can now create multi-step WhatsApp message campaigns with timed delays between each message. Set a stop-on-reply condition so customers don't get the next step after they've already responded. Auto-retry keeps your inter-step timing consistent even when a message needs a resend. Campaign analytics are available at both the campaign level and per individual message, with export.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Growth, Pro, Business<br /><strong>Demo:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.dubbr.io/v/27d07a2b-4c8a-4ca4-a8e3-934870a60f8d\" target=\"_blank\">Watch demo</a></p><hr /><h4>Smart Campaign Pacing</h4><p><strong>Why this matters</strong><br />Meta silently applies pacing restrictions when it detects high-volume or risky messaging patterns — campaigns would slow down, partially fail, or stop entirely with no explanation and no way to recover cleanly.</p><p><strong>The update</strong><br />High-risk campaigns are now automatically staggered before sending, reducing the chance of Meta stepping in. If pacing still kicks in, the campaign stops cleanly with a clear in-product notification instead of failing silently. From there, you can pick a new template, retry only the contacts who didn't receive the message, or use AI to suggest template fixes before retrying.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Growth, Pro, Business<br /><strong>Demo:</strong> <a href=\"https://support.wati.io/en/articles/14119866-how-to-manage-and-retry-campaigns-paused-due-to-template-pacing\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more</a></p><hr /><h3>💬 Team Inbox</h3><h4>Typing Indicator for WhatsApp Chats</h4><p><strong>Why this matters</strong><br />When a customer sends a message and hears nothing back, they don't know if anyone's there. That uncertainty kills the experience — especially when a human or AI agent is already composing a reply.</p><p><strong>The update</strong><br />WhatsApp now shows a live \"typing…\" indicator to your customers whenever an operator or Astra agent is composing a reply. Enable it from Settings → Team Inbox → General Settings. Available on Pro and Business now, rolling out to Growth in May.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Growth, Pro, Business<br /><strong>Demo:</strong> <a href=\"https://support.wati.io/en/articles/14753951-how-to-enable-typing-indicator-in-wati\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more</a></p><hr /><h3>📸 Instagram</h3><h4>Instagram Comments in Team Inbox + Comment-to-DM Automation</h4><p><strong>Why this matters</strong><br />Comments on your Instagram posts are warm leads sitting in plain sight — but without a structured way to follow up, most businesses either miss them or manually reply with no context.</p><p><strong>The update</strong><br />Instagram comments now surface directly in Team Inbox alongside your DMs, so agents can view and reply without leaving Wati. With Comment-to-DM automation, when someone comments with a keyword you define — like \"Price?\" or \"How to order?\" — Wati automatically opens a private DM with them, moving a public interaction into a structured conversation. Comments in Team Inbox are available on all plans; Comment-to-DM automation requires Pro or above. Both work on mobile.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> All Plans (comments); Pro, Business (automation)<br /><strong>Demo:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.dubbr.io/v/2c6eedd7-60a6-4077-96a7-1d5b1b83985f\" target=\"_blank\">Watch demo</a></p><hr /><h3>📞 WhatsApp Calling</h3><h4>Call Recording, Transcription &amp; Summarization</h4><p><strong>Why this matters</strong><br />Without recorded calls and automated notes, context gets lost between agent handoffs, managers can't review performance, and there's no reliable way to sync voice conversations into your CRM.</p><p><strong>The update</strong><br />Every WhatsApp call can now be recorded automatically, with full manual pause and stop controls for operators. Recordings are transcribed with speaker separation and timestamps. AI Summarization generates a post-call summary with intent classification, sentiment analysis, call outcome, and action items — visible per contact directly in Team Inbox. Developers get a complete REST API suite and a real-time Call Completion Webhook to sync call data into external tools. Storage: first 1,000 minutes free per month. Transcription: 3 credits per call. Summarization: 1 additional credit per call. <em>Call recording dashboard and retention policy controls coming soon.</em></p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Pro, Business<br /><strong>Demo:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.dubbr.io/v/bdc4ef32-0abc-49d1-8e3e-2704132c51b4\" target=\"_blank\">Watch demo</a></p><hr /><h3>🤖 Astra</h3><h4>Astra is Now Your Default AI Agent</h4><p><strong>Why this matters</strong><br />Knowbot was the starting point for AI on Wati — but it was a product built for a different era. Astra is more capable, more configurable, and where all new AI development is going.</p><p><strong>The update</strong><br />New Wati accounts and existing accounts that hadn't configured an AI agent will now start with Astra instead of the AI Support Agent. All entry points across the product lead to Astra setup. Existing configured AI Support Agent subscribers are unaffected — your setup continues working exactly as before.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Growth, Pro, Business</p><hr /><h4>Voice 2.0: Clone Your Voice for AI Calls</h4><p><strong>Why this matters</strong><br />Generic AI voices break trust the moment a customer notices they're talking to a bot. The most effective AI agents don't just answer correctly — they sound familiar, warm, and human.</p><p><strong>The update</strong><br />Astra's Voice Agent can now clone any voice by recording a sample or uploading audio files. The cloned voice carries your tone and warmth into every AI-handled call — available 24/7 without sounding robotic. Emotion-aware responses let the agent understand how a customer is feeling and adjust its tone naturally. The agent guides conversations proactively rather than just reacting, and background sound fills silence to keep calls feeling natural, while interruption suppression filters out noise.</p><p><strong>Plan:</strong> Pro, Business<br /><strong>Demo:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.dubbr.io/v/5ff5b91f-b134-43c2-b16e-5ab938b55976\" target=\"_blank\">Watch demo</a></p>",

No manual setup required for new users — the platform speaks their language from the first login.</p><hr /><h2><br /></h2><h2>💳 Sell &amp; Pay Smarter</h2><h3>WatiPay Now Accepts Apple Pay</h3><p><strong>Why this matters:</strong> Checkout friction kills conversions. Apple Pay removes the biggest one for iOS users — no card details to type, no forms to fill.</p><p><strong>The Update:</strong> Apple Pay is now a supported payment method within WatiPay on both web and mobile.

The call history and status are logged directly in the chat thread, and we handle the Meta-required permission flows automatically to reduce friction. A single number can now handle up to 1,000 concurrent calls.</p><ul><li><strong>How to Enable: </strong><a href=\"https://support.wati.io/en/articles/12546695-how-to-enable-and-use-whatsapp-business-calling-in-wati\" target=\"_blank\">How to enable and use WhatsApp Business Calling in Wati</a></li><li><strong>Rules &amp; Limits :</strong><a href=\"https://support.wati.io/en/articles/12546668-whatsapp-calling-restrictions-and-guidelines\" target=\"_blank\">WhatsApp Calling restrictions and guidelines</a></li></ul><h2><strong>RCS &amp; SMS: Reach and Reliability</strong></h2><p><strong>The Update:</strong> We now support Google-verified RCS and intelligent SMS Fallback to ensure 100% reach.</p><p>RCS allows you to send rich, branded messages with carrier-backed reliability.

Inbound messages in Wati also sync back to HubSpot with the right ownership. If a matching user doesn’t exist in either system, defaults are applied or the owner field is left blank to maintain data integrity. To make onboarding smooth, Wati auto-maps users between platforms via email, while still allowing manual overrides through a dropdown.</p><p><strong>Why It Matters</strong></p><p> This update saves time for account executives, ensures prospects are managed promptly, and keeps HubSpot as the single source of truth.
