New Features and Integrations
Below is a list of new features that we're excited about. You can find the full changelog here.
PostgreSQL Integration
PostgreSQL is a highly popular open source database. After MySQL, this is the second relational database that Jovo integrates with.

Abstracted Quick Replies
Sometimes, it's easier to tap or click than saying the whole thing. Many platforms like Google Assistant, Google Business Messages, and our Jovo Web Platform already support quick replies. These buttons that look like small chips (also called "suggestion chps" sometimes) remove friction and help guide the conversation.
As not all platforms support this feature, you would usually have to add them yourself for each platform. Now, we offer an easier way:
Abstracted Platform Handlers
While we're working on Jovo v4
, we're exploring more and more ways to offer cleaner ways for cross-platform experiences.
One feature we have been supporting for a while was "platform handlers." This way, you can add intents that are only supported by one platform, and even add completely new experiences.
We've now made it easier to access this feature across platforms:
