★ Highlight

Added the ability to create Tickets through Tanium webhooks

#789239

Added 'ITIL Ticket Type' and 'Ticket Type Group' to Ticket rule criteria

#984404

Improved logging for the Freshdesk Tickets Migration using the Halo Integrator

#980351

Logs will now be added after each batch (up to 30,000 Tickets) to show how many Tickets were successfully processed, and the Freshdesk Ticket ID's of any Tickets which failed to process.


Additionally, a setting has been added to only run a single batch in one integrator run. This is useful for when running the integrator for a long period of time on a system with low memory. You can use this in conjunction with a scheduled task to run a very large Ticket Migration.

Added 'Is draft amendment' as an option for rule criteria

#978652

Added a last synced variable to the Dynamics 365 CRM integration which can be used in the query filters

#975881

The variable is $-INTEGRATORLASTSYNC. This will be replaced with the date and time of when the Halo Integrator last processed that Dynamics 365 CRM connection.


The main use case is to pull new updates only using a filter such as $filter=modifiedon ge $-INTEGRATORLASTSYNC

Added a Paragraph Formatter option into the rich editor toolbar in KB articles

#975816

The Paragraph formatter option will now show on the Rich Editor in KB articles, allowing you to easily insert header html into the article.

#971373

This setting can be found in Configuration > Email > General Settings.

Added an option to reduce ticket details refresh interval

#970219

This is available in Advanced settings under "Ticket Details refresh interval (seconds)".

You can use this to drop the refresh interval from 15 seconds to a minimum of 10 seconds, in order for actions on tickets to update more frequently.

Added the field mapping 'Employee Type' to the Microsoft Entra ID integration

#967409

Added the setting 'Hide the Ticket Type selection on new Ticket screen' at action level

#965667

Added 'Next Review Date' to the matched articles table

#964894

Added config tracking to lookup profiles

#963628

Updated the interactive login process for all integrations that use an interactive login flow

#962496

All integrations that use an interactive login flow to connect the integration will now use a pop-up window instead of redirecting the entire page.


As part of this change, the redirect URL has been updated for the following integrations. 


  • Adobe Acrobat
  • Dynamics 365 CRM
  • Dynamics Business Central
  • Microsoft Entra
  • Exact Online
  • Exchange Calendars
  • Google Business
  • Google Workspace 
  • GoToAssist Remote
  • Intune
  • Kaseya VSA
  • ManageEngine Endpoint Central
  • Microsoft CSP
  • Microsoft Sentinel
  • Sales Mailbox (Office 365 and Google)
  • Salesforce
  • Sharepoint

Should you disconnect any of these integrations, you will need to register the new redirect URL associated with the integration before you can reconnect it.


This change also includes a variety of backend improvements, as well as some front-end styling improvements to some buttons that start the authentication process.

Added a new column to the MessageContent table to more easily identify Subject, Body, Footer components of email templates

#855304

The new integer column is called MSType. 0 = entire message, 1 = subject, 2 = body, 3 = footer

You can now add Sales Mailbox emails to CRM notes of Clients, Sites or Users

#844239

When viewing an email in "My Inbox", there is a new button at the top to "Add as a CRM Note" which will allow you to add the email as a note to any Client, Site or User you have access to add notes to. By default it will select a matched User or Site based on the from address of the email and User email addresses/Site domains.


You can preview/edit the email before adding it as a note.

Added a new method for receiving stock on purchase orders

#843072

This setting can be located in Configuration>Items and Stock Control>General Settings under the stock control tab:



By default this will be set to load all receivable lines on the purchase order (PO) as this is the current functionality.


When receiving stock on a purchase order, using the new "SKU validation" option, will open a new modal screen:



This will validate the inputted SKU is present on the PO and inform you on how many items are receivable. This must be an exact match.


If the inputted SKU matches to an item that is serialised, you will then be met with usual stock location screen but the quantity field will not be visible.


After choosing an appropriate stock location, you are able to add and remove serialised assets as you process an order.


The quantity is limited to the remaining amount of receivable items unless the "Prevent receiving more stock than the purchase order line quantity" setting is disabled within Configuration > Purchase Orders  under the Purchase Order Settings tab.



After finalising an order and pressing save the quantity added to stock will be implied based on the number of serialised asset records on the screen. This number will also dynamically update at the top of the serialised assets screen.

Added a call management setting "Continue calls after logging or linking a call to a ticket" so that calls do not automatically end when logging a ticket or linking a call to an existing ticket

#833694

You can now map SentinelOne Sites to Halo Customers

#827170

Within the 'Customers' tab of the SentinelOne configuration page, you now have the option to set the 'Customer/Site Matching Method'. This now adds the matching method of 'SentinelOne Site to Halo Customer':



When selected, it will allow you to choose a SentinelOne client and then map it's sites to customers within Halo. Please note: When the asset gets imported, it will be mapped against the main site of the client.


This change also fixes an issue with the SentinelOne site field not returning all values.

You can now add Attachments to Canned Text

#822463

When a Canned Text has attachments, the attachments will be added to the Action during saving, or shown on the email preview screen if sending an email with previews enabled.

Additionally, the Freshdesk Canned Responses migration will now migrate attachments.

Introduced a ticket type level override for the the "Show the Quick close option on the new Ticket screen" global setting

#816120

Added access control to PDF Templates

#814057

Non-administrators can now configure PDF templates if granted access using the Access Control button. A new agent permission has been added to allow creation of new templates.


Additionally, a specific entity can now be selected when generating test PDFs.

You can now receive stock on all purchase orders linked to a ticket at once

#801168

To configure this, you will need to create/modify an action with the new system use “Receive stock on purchase orders linked to the ticket”. This can be a quick action.


When initiating the action, all purchase order lines associated with the ticket that need ordering will show on the familiar stock screen. You can serialize, select stock locations and change quantities as you normally would on a purchase order.


This also supports delivering stock directly to the end user. This will function the same as consigning on the purchase order itself. This will only load the quantity field and the assets must be serialized at this point.


Each purchase order will have its own group header.

Added option to map to the source field when using event management

#799024

If using the event management for processing alerts from a system integration, like Splunk, then the source will automatically be set.

#795488

New field available in Actions Field list


Allows the user of a ticket to be changed through an Action

You can now use Dynamic Distribution Lists for Nurture Mail Campaigns

#776030

If a User's properties change which means they are now part of a Dynamic Distribution list, they will start and have emails queued for any ongoing Nurture Mail Campaigns using that Distribution List as the recipient.


If a User's properties change which means they are no longer part of a Dynamic Distribution list, the queued emails for related Nurture Mail Campaigns will be cancelled. Please note they will no longer be able to be queued for that Nurture Mail Campaign if they are re added to the recipient distribution list.

Improved holiday allowance tracking

#770136

New setting has been added to improve Holiday Management.

You can now manage holiday allowances separately for each holiday type.


The setting can be found in Configuration > Teams & Agents > Holiday Management:

Added the option to use event management for processing Meraki Webhooks
