Feature Overview: This release introduces a 24-hour response timer for Viber messages, designed to help Customer Support (CS) agents manage their communication within Viber’s policy timeframes and avoid additional charges due to delayed responses. This timer feature provides color-coded countdown alerts and clear messaging for CS agents to take timely actions.New Features and Enhancements
1. **24-Hour Countdown Timer for Viber Messages**

* Red timer color when the 24-hour window has expired
2. **Alert Message Notifications**
* Initial Alert: Appears with the first customer message, reminding agents to respond within 24 hours.
* Description: "According to Rakuten Viber's policy, you must respond within 24 hours to avoid additional charges."
* Pre-Expiry Alert: Reappears 1 hour before the 24-hour deadline, warning of imminent expiry.
* Description: "You need to reply quickly. Otherwise, charges will be applied according to Rakuten Viber’s policy."
* Post-Expiry Alert: Updates when the 24-hour window has passed without a reply, notifying the agent of incurred charges.
