Flex UI 2.0 is now in Public Beta

Flex UI 2.0 is a major release of Flex UI and contains a lot of long awaited updates. Here are the most notable ones:

Setting the stage for important Flex releases

Flex UI 2.0 is a component for the new async channel platform Flex Conversations that introduces new capabilities like support for Conversations API, new Interactions API and new channels like WhatsApp and Email (coming soon). Flex UI 2.0 continues to support the legacy channels.

Providing common developer tools

Flex UI 2.0 uses the latest versions of main dependencies, like React, Material, Emotion, and Redux libraries, so not only our application is built with latest fully supported technologies, but also plugin developers can take advantage of the latest updates in these packages.

Utilizing Paste as the build tool

Flex UI 2.0 enables customers to conform with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA with limited development work required. See Flex UI web accessibility for more detail. It also has redesigned interfaces that utilize the Twilio accessible design system Paste and integrated Paste component library for plugin developers to build accessible plugins.

For all new accounts Flex UI 2.0 is going to be enabled by default and for existing accounts, check out our Migration guide.
