Enhanced Messaging Campaigns & Linkus Distinctive Ringtones
Key Features
Message Campaign
Yeastar P-Series PBX System supports a Message Campaign feature, allowing users to create SMS or WhatsApp campaigns to send specified message content, files, or WhatsApp message templates to multiple recipients simultaneously.

Added support for WhatsApp Message Template. PBX can automatically synchronize approved message templates from the associated WhatsApp Business Account ID for a WhatsApp channel, enabling users to initiate or restart conversations outside the 24-hour customer service window.
Message Channel: SMS Messaging Integration
Added support for SMS messaging integration with Skyetel and Athena, allowing setup of SMS message channels for these Service Providers on Yeastar P-Series PBX System.
Linkus Distinctive Ringtone
Added support for assigning distinctive ringtones to user's Linkus UC Clients for specific call features like IVR, Ring Group, and Queue, allowing users to easily recognize different types of incoming calls.
Trunk
Added support for configuring a Tech Prefix on a SIP trunk, which will be appended to the dialed numbers routed through the trunk.
LDAP Server Integration
Fixed the contact synchronization issue where synchronized contacts could not be deleted after the integration was disconnected.

Queue
Fixed the ringback tone issue where callers could not hear the ringback tone after queue calls were routed to the failover destination, even if a ringback tone was set.
Call Recording for IVRs
Added support for setting up call recording for IVRs. If configured, the system automatically records calls on the selected IVRs.
WhatsApp Message Channel Optimization
Optimized WhatsApp messaging integration by making WhatsApp Business Account ID mandatory for automatic message template synchronization. Also added 'Extensions Allowed to Create Messaging Sessions' and 'Close Session Automatically' configurations for better session control.
Message Queue
Added a configuration item 'Chat Assignment Mode' for message queues, offering flexible control over how a session is assigned (manual pickup, automatic assignment, or pickup-disabled mode).

Fixed the remote archiving issue where recording data failed to be archived remotely via FTP server.
Hot Standby
Fixed the hot standby issue where the system did not send the related event notification when a failover occurred.
Extension Password Policies
Added support for setting password policies for extensions, allowing specification of minimum password length for user and registration passwords, and restricting reuse of previous user passwords. This feature is accessible for super administrators.
System Log
Fixed the remote system log issue where the PBX did not send related syslog messages after configuring a third-party syslog server.
