Channels

We’ve updated the EU Ideal Sender logic to exclude France (+33) and Belgium (+32). Because local operators in these regions block international numeric IDs, Paradox will now default to email-only unless a domestic phone number is used, ensuring messages are not overwritten by unmapped short codes.

Conversation Flow

• We’ve updated the default response for the PREF keyword and inquiries regarding communication preferences to now read: “I currently don't have information on your communication preferences. Is there anything else I can help you with?” 
• We’ve updated the Application Processing status to now read: “Thank you for asking about the status of your [JOB NAME] application. Looks like we are still reviewing your information, please reach out to your recruiter for further information."

Conversational Events

• We’ve updated the Event and My Schedule mobile landing pages to prevent the chat widget from automatically opening. The chat will now remain minimized until a candidate manually selects the icon to prevent it from blocking page content.
• We’ve updated the Assign Interviewers task so the task card and notification pill remain visible until the required number of interviewers is reached, rather than disappearing after the first assignment.

Document Builder

We’ve updated the Document Builder to disable the Alt + Drag shortcut. This prevents users from accidentally creating linked, uneditable duplicate fields during the Make Fillable step.

Job Management

• We’ve updated the Job Boards and Integrated Partners dropdown menus in Job Settings. Updates include alphabetical sorting, removing BuiltIn and Facebook, and disabling the SEEK option for accounts outside of Seek-supported regions.
• We’ve updated the Distribution tab logic in Job Manager. This tab will now be completely hidden for accounts that do not have Conversational ATS enabled.

Location Management

We’ve updated location matching logic for Job Feeds to be case-insensitive for both Location ID and Location Name. Additionally, the system now normalizes accented characters (such as "São" to "Sao") during comparison to prevent the creation of duplicate tentative locations.

Scheduling

We’ve updated the Google Calendar integration to use granular API scopes. New connections will now request only the specific permissions required to manage events and view free/busy status, following the principle of least privilege.

Settings

We’ve updated the Admin page to remove EEO statement configuration. All EEO and diversity question management must now be performed within Client Setup.
