Big Things Just Dropped in the SalesIQ Universe: Top Upgrades You’ll Love in Nova’25

Nova'25 has landed, and it’s packed with meaningful upgrades to help you engage smarter, work faster, and scale with ease. Whether you're into proactive messaging, smarter automation, or better admin control, there's something here for everyone.


Here's a look at the standout updates we think you'll absolutely love.

Start the Conversation First with Proactive WhatsApp Messaging

Stop waiting for leads to reach out, you can now start the chat using pre-approved WhatsApp templates. Whether it's a pricing page visitor who hasn't converted or someone who's abandoned their cart, you can trigger timely proactive messages and get the conversation going.
Idea
Why it matters:
Reach out before a lead slips away. Great for re-engaging high-intent users and reducing drop-offs.

Reach your Target Audience in One Go with Broadcast Messaging

With the all-new Broadcast Messaging, you can create targeted messages (with your pre-approved WhatsApp Templates) and schedule these to be sent at the right time to the right set of audience over WhatsApp. This lets you engage your target audience at scale. 
Idea
Why it matters:
Forget one-by-one follow-ups. This is perfect for flash sales, event reminders, or product launches, especially when timing is key.

Build Smarter Bots with Ready-made Templates

Easily one of the most awaited and sought-after features, you can now use ready-made bot templates tailored to your industry to build your bot, no more building your bot from scratch.
Bonus: You can also plug in your ChatGPT Assistant trained on your business data, and fine-tune your bot's flow using card-level stats to see what works (and what doesn't).
Idea
Why it matters:
You get smarter conversations without the usual set up time, everything's readymade for you. Just fine-tune it for your business, and you're good to go! Perfect for teams that want fast, scalable automation with full control and visibility.

Automate Everything that Slows You Down with Workflows

The new Workflows feature lets you automate critical actions based on real-time events, like sending alerts when a customer leaves a bad review or notifying admins when an operator is deleted or added to you portal. Set conditions, define outcomes, and let SalesIQ take care of the rest.
Idea
Why it matters:
Automate your manual work and focus more on strategy. Your team can stay responsive while SalesIQ handles the background hustle.

Give Your Teams the Access They Actually Need with Profiles

Introducing Profiles: A new way to control who can do what. Assign feature level permissions based on what your operators need. For instance, give support agents chat access only, and if an operator is responsible only for building chatbots, you can grant them bot-related permissions while restricting access to chat handling. Now, it's custom access, the way it should be.
IdeaWhy it matters:
No more "too many cooks" in the system. This means cleaner workflows, safer data, and less confusion among teams.

AI-Powered Chat Just Got a Whole Lot Smarter

From AI-written responses to real-time suggestions and instant conversation summaries, this update brings Zia and ChatGPT deeper into your chat experience. Whether you're replying to a text or reviewing a chat thread, AI now helps you do it better and faster.
Idea
Why it matters:
It reduces response time, enhances clarity, and keeps every interaction on-point. Less typing for your operators, more satisfaction for your customers. And not to mention, Zia (Zoho's in-house AI) is absolutely free of cost, helping you make your conversations smarter at no charge!

Seamless In-app Audio Calls In your Business' Mobile App with SDK

Bring real-time direct calls to your business' mobile app (iOS & Android) with native in-app voice calling, powered by our lightweight SDK. Fast, personal, and mobile-first, this feature lets users call your team instantly, no app switching, no delays, and no loss of context. 
Idea
Why it matters:
It makes support more immediate and human. By allowing users to call your team right from your app, you cut out friction, boost trust, and deliver answers faster without jumping between platforms or losing context.

More Enhancements You Shouldn’t Miss!

Here are more thoughtful upgrades designed to improve your everyday operations, support quality, and customer engagement.

🔹 Reuse prebuilt bot flows with bot import and export: 

Build your bot once, reuse anywhere as you need. Export your code-less bot and import it into another SalesIQ portal, enabling effortless replication across multiple environments. This will be perfect for agencies or teams managing multiple portals.

🔹 Do more within chats from instant messaging channels:

  • Keep instant messaging channel chats clean and spam-free: Automatically detect and mask offensive language on your chats from IM Channels with profanity control support. Also, you can now block spammers across all your connected channels, keeping your operators focused on real customers.
  • Instagram Story Replies Support: Capture and respond to Instagram story replies directly inside SalesIQ. No more missed messages and definitely no more lost leads.
  • Appointment Bookings now supported for IM Channels: Let prospects and customers from Instant messaging channel chats book appointments with you, whether demos, consultations, or support sessions, right from the chat window.

🔹 Added integrations to make your SalesIQ even more powerful:

  • Unify your Bigin data with SalesIQ for faster deal wins: Target hot leads and close deals faster by displaying information from Bigin about your website visitors on the SalesIQ dashboard. Also, automatically convert visitors into contacts, add deals, and even follow-up tasks in Bigin directly from SalesIQ. 
  • Augmented reality-based remote assistance with the Zoho Lens integration: Provide real-time visual support using live video streams from your customer’s phone camera or AR glasses. Let your operators troubleshoot issues as if they're right there with the customer.

🔹 SalesIQ mobile app power tools and capabilities:

Manage and organize chats better by adding conversation tags, enhance and edit images/videos before sending, construct your responses faster with the AI powered writing assistant, get an instant gist of the chat with conversation summary, and take support beyond chat with built-in call support, all from the SalesIQ mobile app for operators.

🔹 TV app enhancements:

Get real-time KPI dashboards on Android TV (in addition to Apple TV), ideal for sales floors, support teams, or leadership war rooms. Also, bring data to the frontline with Reports on the TV App to help your team analyze trends and performance patterns, to understand what’s working, what’s changing, and what needs attention.

Whew.. That's quite a bunch!

But this release isn't just about features, it's about helping you work smarter. Whether you're improving how you reach out to prospects, enabling remote support, automating more of your workflow, or scaling conversations with AI, these updates makes SalesIQ sharper, faster, and more flexible.
