How do I check what version of the Natterbox Apps I’m using?

The Natterbox App, Freedom, and Service Cloud Voice

For the Natterbox App, Freedom, and Service Cloud Voice, this is done in the "Installed Packages" section of Salesforce:

  • Log in to Salesforce and go to Setup

  • In the Quick Search bar type "Installed Packages" and click on the Installed Packages link

  • This page will then tell you the version numbers of the Natterbox App, Freedom, and Service Cloud Voice packages

"Natterbox" = The Natterbox App

"Natterbox Call Centre" = Freedom

"Natterbox SCV" = Service Cloud Voice

NoteService Cloud Voice customers may not have the "Natterbox Call Centre" package installed. This is fine as the Natterbox Call Centre package is not required to run Service Cloud Voice.

NoteFreedom customers may not have the "Natterbox SCV" package installed. This is fine as the Natterbox SCV package is not required to run Freedom.

Freedom Mobile

You can check to see what version of Freedom Mobile you are using by following the below steps:

  • Open the Natterbox App

  • Go to "Settings"

  • This page will show you the current version of the App you are using

FAQs

Do you publish the latest versions of your Apps?

We sure do! You can check back at any time to see what the latest versions of our packages are on this page HERE

Will I be charged to use the latest versions of these Apps?

No. The latest versions of these apps are provided as part of your subscription. 

Do I need to have people online to test it when it is live?

You don't need to test, it's a good practice upgrading to the latest package to ensure that the service is working as we expect it to.

Is there a roll back plan?

Once the Natterbox (AVS) or Freedom (Natterbox Call Center) version is updated, it cannot be rolled back, the solution would be to install a later version of the Natterbox package.

How to take a complete backup of the Production Org (including the data and configuration setup)?

You could back up all your data in a full copy sandbox, but this is a question for Salesforce support and isn't something we can assist with.

Will the existing configuration setup have any impact or get modified after the upgrade?

The configuration will not change, the only changes that would be applied would be to any faulty behaviour of the product.

Will our data be intact after the upgrade?

Natterbox updates do not remove data, a Natterbox app update would only introduce new data unless a service is deprecated.

What specific tests are required to validate the success of the package upgrade?

This depends, but typically, it is essential to ensure that the behavior targeted for a fix through the update undergoes thorough testing. To verify the overall functionality of the system, conducting various test scenarios such as inbound calls, outbound calls, external calls, internal transfers, calls to users, and DDI calls is recommended.

Usually how long does this upgrade take to complete for a Production Org?

It depends on the number of versions being applied in the update. If your package is significantly behind, the update process may take up to an hour. However, if you are only updating a few versions, the update should not exceed 15 minutes. In the event that it does, the administrator will promptly receive an email notification upon successful installation or if the installation was unsuccessful (in the event of a failed installation, service will not be affected).
