Features in ZEMS v3.0.23202

Sending prioritized messages
PTT Pro customers can now set the priority to the message while sending. Priority can be assigned to messages to contacts and messages to groups. If you are a manager, you assign a priority to broadcast messages. Sending priority messages requires PTT Pro for Android version 3.3.10235 and ZEMS Web Client version 2.1.23202 or later.

Infobip WhatsApp Support
PTT Pro customers can now communicate with external devices using WhatsApp by integrating Infobip into their ecosystem. Infobip in combination with ZEMS v3.0.23202 allows enterprises to communicate with their customers by providing them a phone number. For example, a customer picking up their purchases at curbside sends a WhatsApp message to the store’s Infobip number. Infobip forwards the communication to ZEMS and the appropriate group or individual who brings the customer’s purchases to the curbside.

Usage Notes
