Overview
The 25.2 release of Bill Explainer introduces a powerful set of enhancements that improve content flexibility, real-time testing, and user engagement insights. These updates empower CSPs (Communications Service Providers) with greater control over how billing information is presented, tracked, and personalized without relying on engineering for every change. From dynamic content and custom widgets to analytics segmentation and real-time data previews. This release enhances self-service capabilities and supports faster go-to-market execution across both wireline and wireless billing use cases
Real-Time API Data Ingestion in Workbench: API-connected clients can now use the Data Ingestion Assistant to preview and validate bill data instantly by entering an account number, eliminating the need to manually upload previous and current month bill files. This enhancement removes a major adoption barrier for API-based integrations, simplifies testing, and accelerates the rollout of bill logic updates. Clients can now confidently deploy changes faster with real-time visibility into how data will appear in the explainer site. It also ensures consistency between preview and production data, which can help clients be more self-sufficient and may reduce reliance on core engineering teams for configuring and testing new data mappings for API clients.
Wireless Billing Support: Bill Explainer now supports wireless billing scenarios, enabling telecom clients to deliver clear explanations for shared data usage, multi-line plans, and device installment charges. Clients can configure wireless-specific content in Workbench, with backend support to parse and display per-line usage and device fees. This enhancement helps reduce billing confusion, lowers support call volumes, and makes the Explainer more relevant for wireless carriers managing complex account structures.
Universal Dynamic Content for Personalized Messaging: Clients can now use dynamic variables to personalize real-time messages across the Bill Explainer interface without needing engineering support. This feature allows content creators to define and manage variables like
due_dateormonthly_chargesIn Workbench, you can use them across any widget in Studio. Messaging updates can be made on the fly, improving speed, accuracy, and relevance for users. By enabling universal variable access, the feature simplifies content creation and ensures dynamic updates are displayed consistently across the Bill Explainer microsite.Custom Widgets for Flexible On-Site Messaging: Bill Explainer now supports self-service creation of custom widgets on the microsite. These widgets support text, images, links, and optional dynamic data-enabling quick deployment of personalized messages, offers, or alerts without relying on engineering. Clients can choose from predefined drop zones on the page, preview their widgets before publishing, and track basic engagement metrics like views and clicks. This feature boosts agility, improves user experience, and supports faster, brand-aligned content delivery.
Continuous Improvements:
Bill Tier Segmentation in Site Performance Dashboard: Clients can now analyze customer engagement based on bill amount tiers, low, medium, and high, directly within the Site Performance Dashboard. This enhancement introduces new visualizations and interaction tracking across each tier, including clicks on “What Changed?”, “Pay Now,” and card expansions. With clearer insights into how different billing segments behave, clients can optimize self-service strategies, reduce support volumes, and tailor messaging to high or low-bill customers more effectively.
