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.
