Product Update

Small changes to save you time
‍

‍

User feedback and experience are two things we take very seriously at Voiceflow. While many changes require strategic planning and a dedicated roadmap, smaller UX improvements can be tinkered with and quickly implemented to enhance productivity and ease-of-access - especially for commonly used actions.
‍
We have updated the capture block editor so you can now auto-search for slot types when clicking in the 'input type' field. Avoid creating custom slots for frequently used requests like color or city by choosing from a catalog of built-in slot types for both Alexa and Google.
‍
In select block editors, you can now right-click to delete items in addition to dragging them to the trash bin. Give it a try the next time you are editing a speak, choice of if block.

Calling all healthcare builders
‍

As a community-oriented organization, we understand the positive impact that accessible healthcare can have on a community. Whether it's at the clinic or in-home, voice is at the helm of driving healthcare improvements by providing convenient and more timely patient care.

If you are currently leveraging Voiceflow to build CUIs (conversational user-interfaces) around healthcare, we'd love to hear from you! Let's find ways to open up accessibility to healthcare assistance for those who need it most.
