Sendbird, which provides APIs across chat, voice and video for mobile and web applications, has announced a number of new capabilities developed to enhance digital chat experiences. They include dynamic partitioning for Open Channels, IP whitelisting, message threading and message search.
Dynamic partitioning for Open Channels allows users to create experiences that can host up to 20,000 members in public chats. Open Channels can also host up to 60,000 members in public chats if a customer leverages a dedicated server.
Sendbird now also offers IP whitelisting in addition to existing TLS encryption for chat messages, AES256 encryption for files and adherence to compliance standards such as ISO 27001, SOC2 Type 2, GDPR, HIPAA and options for hosting chat on AWS GovCloud. Only servers residing on these whitelisted IPs can make calls to the Sendbird Chat Platform API.
