What’s New On Cliq?

Widgets bring the tools you use into one place: your Cliq window. It integrates with your everyday apps to create a custom view inside Cliq. You can easily access them from the Widget section in your Cliq sidebar. 

Zoho Writer’s integration with Cliq is a great way to collaborate on your documents from the comfort of your chat window. This powerful integration comes with a “Documents” Widget where you can view recent documents, create new documents, view documents shared with you, your favorites, or even create a new template.

Cliq detects the context behind every conversation to suggest smart follow-up actions. For example, whenever there is a phone number that is shared on chat, a contextual suggestion powered by Cliq’s Telephony integration is listed right next to the text.  

Make sure that Telephony is set up and enabled from the Zoho App of your choice (CRM, Bigin, Recruit, Zoho One) and get to make an outbound call right from your chat window.

Also, once the call gets connected, your Cliq status automatically reflects that you’re on a call. 

You can now create a webhook based extension for Cliq by accessing Cliq’s developer console. All you have to do is create the extension, choose the platform components you’d like to add to your extension, and provide a call back URL for your server. 

Now you can configure Taz notifications and get to decide on when to receive alerts/notifications under specific circumstances.

You can enable/disable notifications for the following cases:

• When a document is shared
• When a new event is created or updated
• When an event invite is accepted or rejected
• For event reminders

The galaxy view is our interesting take on the group video calling interface. All participants will be displayed in rings based on their activity in the call. The current active speaker will be present at the center and indicated by a yellow ring. Galaxy view in Group Video Call is currently available only to Cliq users falling under the US DC. 

If you’re active on Cliq and haven’t checked-in for the day yet, Cliq's check-in reminder will pop up to make sure you remember. Worry no more about forgetting to check-in or checking-in late! 

This has been long pending! But it's finally here :)

Read receipts allow you to know whether your message is read by the receiver. You'll be visually informed with a double tick when someone has read your message. A quick tap on the double tick will display the message read info in channels and group conversations. 

Now you can drag and drop attachments from a chat window to a specific chat or channel in Cliq's left side menu. Forget opening a chat to just share an attachment! 

Ever added a comment to an attachment and wished you could edit or update it after some time? Now you can do so easily by using the edit message action. You can edit comments for an attachment just like you edit normal messages. 

Messages that are forwarded will be labelled with the 'Forwarded from <username>' tag to indicate where it originally came from. All you've to do is, enable the 'Show Forwarded from' option that pops up and forward the message. 

Ever wondered what it’d be like to experience working from an office space while also working remotely? With Remote Work on Cliq, you can get the best of both worlds.

You no longer have to scroll endlessly through a sea of messages to find that one important text sent hours ago. Simply, pin them to the top of the chat window for everyone to see!

All your messages will have a clear indication allowing you to monitor the progress of your messages. You'll see a single tick when your messages are successfully sent and a clear indicator when message sending fails, making it easier for you to act upon.
