Community and Care Welcome Google Business Reviews
Community and Care now support reviews left for Google Business profiles.
You can now use Community to track reviews that customers leave for your businesses on Google. Community downloads the reviews, and you can manage them just like any other types of content: assign to Community agents, reply, add labels, and escalate to Salesforce and Care.
Once escalated to Care, reviews are treated as regular Care cases, which you can manage similar to any other Care cases including escalating to Salesforce.
How to start?
Add your Google Business profiles to your Emplifi account (see Add an Owned Profile for Your Google Business Account). Now, you can go to Community and check the incoming feed while Community is downloading the reviews.
When added to the Emplifi account, Google Business profiles are handled similarly to profiles on social media platforms like Facebook or TikTok that you already have. You can find all your Google Business profiles under Settings -> Channels -> Google businesses (for more details, see “Profiles Section Renamed” further in these Release Notes).
Where else are Google Business profiles supported?
Currently, only Community and Care support Google Business profiles, but we are working on adding them to the other modules like Unified Analytics and Dashboard.
Stay tuned!

Synchronize Case Status between Care and Salesforce
For the customers who integrated the Care module with Salesforce
You can now configure Care to update the status of a Salesforce case when the status of the related Care case changes, and vice versa.
This way, the information about the case is always synchronized between Care and Salesforce, and you do not need to check for the case status twice.

Count First-time Instagram Reel Plays without Replays
You can now measure the initial plays of Instagram reels independently. The “Initial video views” metric counts all first-time plays starting with 1 millisecond of play and ignores replays.
The “Initial video views” metric is available in the Content module, public Emplifi APIs, and custom metrics.

Profiles Section Renamed
To accommodate the newly added support for Google Business profiles (see “Community and Care Welcome Google Business Reviews“ earlier in these Release Notes), we made small naming changes in the Settings section of the Emplifi accounts.
A new first-level section named Channels was added.
A new second-level section named Google businesses was added under Channels to hold your Google Business profiles.
The Profiles section was renamed to Social profiles and moved under Channels.
All your existing profiles remain intact; only the name of the section has changed.
