📊 Journey Canvas: Visual refresh for clarity

We’ve refined the Journey Canvas to align with our updated design language—small, visible polish to improve scan-ability and reduce visual noise.

What’s changed

  • Cleaner node layout: improved spacing and alignment for better readability.

  • Standardized node colors:

    • Message nodes: Black

    • Flow logic: purple

    • charles functions (Tags, Subscriber Lists): yellow

    • 3rd‑party integrations: blue

  • Simpler connections: connectors and wires are now black to reduce distraction and follow the design system.

  • Clearer interactable areas: containers with connectors have a light purple background for easy spotting; informational/read‑only containers use a consistent neutral background.

Why it matters

  • Faster scanning, more consistency, less cognitive load—incremental improvements that make everyday work smoother.


Impact

  • No functional changes. Your existing journeys continue to work as before.

📊 Flow Analytics Date Picker

We've added an editable date picker to on-canvas analytics. To see the metrics for the last revision of a flow, please select the "Since last flow change" at the bottom left corner of the date picker.


📅 14.01.2026

📊 Flow Analytics

We have released a new feature that lets you see performance metrics directly on each node in your canvas, enabling you to understand the performance of each message or other node on a much more granular level than before. Another win: you can now get the insights you need right where you are building and editing the flows and can spot funnel performance much faster.

We are already working on improvements, e.g. making the date picker editable. Stay tuned for more updates!

💬 WhatsApp Typing Indicator

We have added the WhatsApp indicator to our platform. It displays the well-known is typing... indicator when charles is preparing a response to the customer — via flow or agent. This increases the sense of presence on chats and increases chat retention.
