• Environment Variables Update

• We’ve added some new secret codes (known as environment variables) in our .env.example. These codes will help us to integrate our system with Intercom, a customer messaging platform. We also updated our services configuration to read these codes.

• Easier User Identification

• A new feature, getUserHashAttribute(), is added to our User model. This will help us easily identify users – neat, right?

• Flagging Intercom Messenger

• We’re adding a migration to turn on a fun new feature called Intercom Messenger. This will drastically improve how we interact with our users. :speech_balloon:

• Dependencies Addition & Update

• We’re adding a new external package, @mathieustan/vue-intercom to our project. This package will make it easier for us to use Intercom's features in our Vue.js-based frontend.

• Frontend Code Changes
  Some exciting changes are happening in our frontend files! Lots of old bits being removed (bye, Beacon mixins :wave:), and new, efficient tools being installed. This includes:

  • Calculating user hashes in App.vue :detective:,

  • Introducing a new Intercom.mixin.js to our front-end :star2:,

  • Updating our project to use @mathieustan/vue-intercom, and

  • Changing value of knowledgeBaseUrl for even better user interaction :heart:

And there we have it!

We are making big strides to making our system much friendlier to use! 🎉
