Version 3.1

📞 Voice

Your bot just started talking - congrats! We'll use all of the settings and responses you've already provided in Property Manager to communicate with your customers over the phone.

Inbound Calls 

Your bot can now handle phone calls just like webchat. You control when calls get escalated to your contact center using your existing escalation rules.

Outbound Collection Calls 

We can now call your delinquent tenants to remind them to make a payment. Simultaneously, we'll send a text and email so they have all the information they need when they hang up the phone. Timing and content is all up to you.

Customizable Voices 

Want the voice of your customer support rep to be easygoing and empathetic, while your collections agent is more stern? We've got you covered with different voice personalities for different scenarios.

Analytics 

At a glance, you can see how much time we've freed up for your agents to focus on more important tasks, plus lots more voice-specific statistics.

📊 Dashboard Improvements

Location Filtering

Ever want to check in on how just 1 store (or a group of stores) is doing? Now you can! Use the location picker at the top of your Dashboard to filter the charts below.

Google Reviews

No need to wait until the 1st of the month to see your Google Review stats anymore! Scroll to the bottom of the Dashboard to see:

  • Overall review numbers
  • Rating summary
  • Which stores are performing best for the selected dates

The VIEW ALL link in the Top Review Locations chart displays similar stats at the location level and allows you to generate a summary for lightning fast updates to your team.

🔒 Security Improvements

Two Factor Authentication

When chat users provide a phone number that already exists in your FMS, we'll authenticate them before continuing the conversation. This adds an extra layer of security for sensitive account information.

🤖 Enhance with AI

Persona-specific capabilities for more natural, contextual conversations.

⭐ Review Solicitation Customizations

By default, when asking tenants for ratings after move in or move out we use a 1-10 rating scale and send an email receipt for all responses. Now you can customize:

  • Use a 1-5 ⭐ rating scale instead of 1-10
  • Only receive email receipts for responses less than or equal to a certain rating
  • Control these settings from this page in Property Manager

🎯 spot.is Updates

Direct QR Code Management

Your QR codes can now be controlled right from swivlStudio! You can update colors, buttons, and download codes from Property Manager anytime you need.

Review Page Disclaimers

A disclaimer can now be added to your review pages if needed for compliance or legal requirements.

📈 Revenue Attribution

When someone moves in from selecting an available unit in chat or receiving an abandoned cart message, we know that their revenue can be attributed to swivl. New charts within your analytics report display these attribution statistics, helping you measure swivl's direct impact on your bottom line.

🛒 StoragePug Integration

For operators using StoragePug to manage their website, the in-chat shopping flow just got better. When someone selects an available unit in chat, we redirect them right to the rental page.

💰 Abandoned Carts

Historically, we've only been able to automatically follow up with leads generated in chat (when someone selects an available unit). Now, we're automatically following up with:

  • Callers who ask sales-related questions
  • All leads from the Leads section of StorEdge

🆕 FMS Integrations

Sitelink and SSM Cloud are now available in the latest version of our platform, with more coming soon!

🔧 Improvements & Enhancements

Store Selector Guidance

If a user is shown the store selector more than once, we'll provide more detailed instructions on how to interact with it.

Analytics

When sending sequences, we're now tracking:

  • When a review or referral solicitation is sent
  • When an SMS or email is engaged with

While this data isn't yet visible in your analytics report, it sets us up to show just how successful our solicitations are.

Smarter Persona Detection

Once we know someone's persona through any method:

  1. They told us directly
  2. Asked a sales- or service-related question
  3. They have an active lease

We won't ask for it again, creating a smoother experience for returning customers.
