With summer officially here, we’re excited to announce five hot new releases from Drift 🏖️
Our updates this month will help you supercharge your playbooks, streamline collaboration, and incorporate GPT technology into more of your live chat workflows.
Read on to learn what’s new 👇
Empower Prospects with Webhook Capabilities
More data sources = more intelligent chat experiences.
With our new Webhooks feature, you can now instantly update systems outside of Drift, based on what’s happening in Drift. You can also easily pull data from external databases into chat in order to answer questions, perform self-service actions, and nurture potential buyers in a more sophisticated (and relevant) way.
Using this feature, customers can, for example, check their order status, start a free trial, or get answers to questions about their specific plan. As for your internal teams, they’ll be able to automatically enroll prospects in nurture emails after they register for events through your chatbot, instantly update on-premise systems, and more.

Optimize Playbook Performance Through Team Collaboration
Working together just got a whole lot easier with Playbook Collaboration. Now, anyone on your team can access, comment on, and edit Drift playbooks — even if they don’t have a Drift seat.
Today, we hit our first milestone in the update, by releasing a single, expanded view of your playbooks which displays every bot message and potential response. This way, your team members can easily visualize what they are working on.
Following this milestone, we’ll also have two more updates. The first will allow Drift admins to share playbook content with anyone regardless of whether they have a seat in Drift. The other will allow people to comment on any node within a playbook.

To make smarter decisions that improve your metrics and KPIs, you need complete visibility into your marketing and sales performance. With our improved reporting platform, you can now export all of that critical information without any limit on volume.
With Large CSV Exports, Drift admins and sales managers can export unlimited data, ensuring access to comprehensive insights and valuable reports without any restrictions.

Deliver Immediate Account Insights to Sales
For sales reps, having account information on hand is crucial to driving better conversations. That’s why we’ve made it easy for sales reps to access details about their target accounts throughout the Drift app.
With Account Details Quick Access, reps can now easily retrieve context around any contact or account in a single click. This allows your reps to access any account’s information directly within the live chat interface.
Additionally, we’ve revamped the account details page so that it now offers a comprehensive overview of each account. This includes new cards that provide valuable insights and a reorganized format for logical data grouping.
Together, these enhancements enable reps to quickly leverage detailed account information to help them make the most of their inbound and outbound selling.
