v1.3.0
✨ New Features
- Run your workspace from ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex. Connect your assistant to Popcorn AI under Settings → AI Assistants, and it can work inside your workspace with you: launch and monitor campaigns, go through the inbox, look up customers and products, check orders, draft templates, and pull performance numbers. Setup is one line plus an approval screen, with no API key to copy or keep safe.
- Assistants now reach the whole dashboard, not just campaigns. Coverage grew from campaign tools to the areas you work in every day: analytics, inbox, customers, products, orders, templates, agents, knowledge, integrations, channels, onboarding, team, and billing.
🚀 Improvements
- Your assistant asks first before anything it cannot undo. Sending messages, publishing, importing, changing billing, or deleting data now show you exactly what is about to happen and wait for your go-ahead, so a misread instruction never lands on your store on its own.
- Access is bound to the person who approved it. Every connection is tied to your user, your workspace, and the specific assistant you approved, and it stays inside the permissions your team role already has.
📌 Please note
- If you connected an assistant before this release, planning a customer or product import now needs a matching read permission. Reapprove the connection in Settings → AI Assistants the first time you use those workflows.
