When a system depends on good data to ensure its providing the best experience, it's important to make sure you can easily import, organize, and update your data. This month we focused on improving how you can connect Boomtown to more third party systems and then how you can enhance your data over time to make sure the software is constantly learning and improving.
Here's what's going live on Thursday:
Without feedback, people (or systems) can’t improve. In order to deliver consistently great customer experiences you need to constantly review, update, and coach.
This month we launched a beta version of our new Quality Assurance Console. This is a place for managers to quickly review completed Issues and update the tags, notes, and any knowledge base articles that were (or could have been) used to resolve the Issue.
By reviewing and updating the details of resolved Issues, not only are you helping your teams learn the proper way to tag Issues, but you’re also training the artificial intelligence engine to better understand how you want your system to work. As it learns the correct patterns, the system will begin to automatically suggest tags and knowledge base articles on future issues. Better suggestions lead to more efficient teams and happier customers.

In a world where new software is popping up every day and the average enterprise uses 163 distinct systems, the number of integrations any given team needs to build becomes nearly impossible to keep up with. Thankfully the folks at Zapier (https://zapier.com) realized this years ago and solved many of the integration challenges for us.
Zapier is an integration layer that allows you to quickly and easily connect (almost) any two software applications via API without having to write a single line of code. It’s pretty much magic.
For example, if you want to automatically create a Customer in Boomtown whenever you create a new Account in Salesforce, no problem! If you want to send a message in Slack every time a new Issue is created in Boomtown, that's easy too. Integrations and automated workflows are now just a few clicks away.
We’re very excited to launch our Zapier integration this month and will be continuing to add new pre-built “zaps” each month to make it even easier for you to integrate your existing systems with ours and automate your workflows.

We’ve made it easier than ever to make sure the products you are supporting can easily get added to each customer interaction. Connecting each Issue back to your products is a critical step to ensure that your system is getting smarter with every interaction and delivering the best knowledge suggestions to your team.
You can now define an Organization-wide list of products from our universal product index to have quick access to the products that you encounter most often. If you need to tap into the universal list from time to time, no problem. We’ve made that easy as well (right from the same pick list we have today).

One of the challenges with proactive product and network monitoring is the need to have a physical device in the location that you are monitoring. We’re focused on making this easier.
This month we launched the beta version of our Proactive Agent in a Docker container. This means that you can now install the Proactive monitoring code on a standard Linux server and it can perform the same network monitoring activities as our physical device. This allows teams that already have a Linux server onsite to utilize that server as a Proactive Agent to remotely monitor your products and networks. The first live version of this new Proactive Agent implementation will be available on our developers site soon. In the meantime, please email us if you would like access to it.
We’ve also enhanced our Trace-Route check to triangulate multiple backbone routes in order to intelligently detect the area of the path in which an outage might occur (e.g. local router, ISP outage, etc.).
Lastly, we added Proactive device events to our HTTP Web Hook integration, allowing teams using Proactive to receive events with data payloads when devices are added/updated/deleted or when their status/IP address change. This enables external systems to be tied into Proactive for real-time integration scenarios.
