Esper Release Notes - DevRel 106

Dates: 3/8/23 - 3/15/23 

Esper Agent Version: 7.9.3738

In this release, we’ve added the much-requested feature: Custom Roles (beta)! You can now create your own roles in addition to the built-in roles we offer after requesting and being invited to participate in the beta.

New Features

  • Added Custom Roles. You can now request roles with read and write permissions. Once created, parts of the Console are read-only for certain roles, while other features are completely hidden. Use Custom Roles to design roles unique to your use case. This feature is currently in beta. 
  • Created a new workflow for approving and un-approving apps in the Google Play Store. Now, when an app is approved, you’ll be able to manage its configurations from the same menu. 
  • Added functionality that will alter the animation for boot and or shutdown, and boot logo for compatible Lenovo devices: SET_BOOT_ANIMATION, SET_SHUTDOWN_ANIMATION, and SET_BOOT_LOGO.This functionality can be called via API or added to the Extra JSON section. For example, the following command will download a resource file for the given appropriate field (bootAnimationUrl, bootLogoUrl, shutdownAnimationUrl: 
    POST - https://{tenant}-api.esper.cloud/api/v0/enterprise/{enterprise_id}/command/

                }

        }
    },
    "devices": [
        ""
    ],

Bug Fixes and Improvements

  • Fixed an issue where the Beep quick action sometimes behaved inconsistently. Beeps should now show a consistent behavior across devices.
