What's new with GoTo Connect - September 2025
2 MIN READ Hello GoTo Connect Community! I'm happy to share the latest GoTo Connect releases, featuring powerful new enhancements designed to streamline your communications and elevate your team’s productivity. Sentiment + Topic for All Calls Allows you to use AI-powered sentiment and topic analysis on every recorded call, enabling teams to proactively identify trends, coach staff, and improve overall customer experience without manually reviewing transcripts or recordings. This is available for Advanced Reporting add-on customers (CX, Auto CX, and Contact Center Complete have Advanced Reporting add-on as part of the bundle). Improved Inbox AI features Allows you to access enhanced AI-powered conversation summaries and sentiment analytics across more plans and digital channels, with increased accuracy, transparency, and control. This includes upgrading our AI features across the Shared Inbox and SMS campaigns and making them available to more customers (now for CE Pro and CX). GoTo Mobile: Shared Inbox – Mark Conversation as Read/Unread Allows customers using GoTo Mobile to easily mark conversations in their shared inbox as read or unread. This highly-requested feature boosts team collaboration and makes it simple to track which messages need attention on the go. Contact Center, CX, and Customer Engagement: SMS Campaigns Now Available in the Inbox SMS campaigns are now available right in the inbox for our Customer Engagement, CX, and—newly added—Contact Center customers! Moving campaigns to the inbox will eventually replace the old Engage experience, making it easier to discover and launch campaigns. Attendant Console – Company Contact Groups Company Contact Groups, is now available to all Attendant Console users! This much-anticipated feature, our most requested since the attendant console’s initial release, empowers users to create customizable contact groups. With Company Contact Groups, you can easily organize contacts by department, location, call queue, or any category that best suits your workflow. The improved filtering capabilities allow for more precise presence monitoring, faster call routing, and improved management of frequently contacted teams. Chat Assistant “Close Conversation” Node The chat assistant just got a lot more versatile! We’ve made it possible for chat assistants to completely resolve conversations without transferring to a human agent. Inbox managers and CC admins can now configure a new ending node that automatically closes out a conversation with a clear, branded message. This means you get immediate closure and it will be routed properly the next time they message in. Conversations closed by the chat assistant now show in the Resolved Conversations board. Set a phone number to recover your password One more important feature! Now, you can add a single recovery phone number to your account, making it easier to reset or recover your login password if needed. For more information, including set-up, see this article. We would love to hear your thoughts and questions. Please let us know in the comments.Introducing Verified Caller IDs: STIR/SHAKEN Now Available
2 MIN READ We’re thrilled to announce a new feature that empowers you to answer calls with greater confidence and peace of mind! As part of our ongoing commitment to safer, more trustworthy communication, GoTo Mobile and GoTo Desktop now display a special indicator when an incoming call comes from a genuine, verified phone number. This enhancement is powered by STIR/SHAKEN—a set of industry-leading protocols specifically designed to combat the problem of caller ID spoofing. What’s the Problem? For years, VoIP technology has made it easier than ever for bad actors to impersonate someone by faking a caller ID number—a technique known as spoofing. Spoofed numbers can lead to spam, scams, and even fraud, eroding trust in voice communication. That’s where STIR/SHAKEN comes in. How Does It Work? STIR/SHAKEN It's a government-mandated (FCC) technology suite that verifies incoming calls come from legitimate, non-spoofed phone numbers. It helps verify that the phone number displayed on your caller ID hasn’t been tampered with. When you get a call on GoTo Mobile or GoTo Connect Desktop (with US-to-US calls), you'll see a verified icon 🗸 next to the number if our carrier has confirmed it’s the real deal. Now you can answer with confidence, knowing the number you see is legitimate and not spoofed. Here is an example GoTo Connect desktop: Where is it available? Currently, STIR/SHAKEN is available only for calls made from one US phone number to another US phone number. What does it verify? STIR/SHAKEN confirms the authenticity of the phone number—but not of the caller’s identity, name, or other info, which can still be manipulated. Does it block spam calls? No, it doesn’t block or filter spam or unwanted calls. If you continue to get unwelcome calls from a verified number, you can still block that number yourself. FAQ: What is the real benefit of STIR/SHAKEN? It lets you know whether the number displayed for an incoming call has been verified by your carrier as authentic, making it harder for scammers to hide behind spoofed numbers. Does this mean all scam or spam calls are gone? Not yet. While scammers will find it harder to impersonate trustworthy numbers, STIR/SHAKEN can’t block calls or verify the actual identity behind a call—just the number. Is it available outside the U.S.? Currently, this technology is only applied to calls between US numbers. The feature is being currently deployed on GoTo Mobile and will soon be available in GoTo Connect Desktop and Web.
