🔴 Bug Fix

We've made an update to the Voice AI snapshot.

: This does NOT affect the main SmartDirectoryAI snapshot. This only applies to users who have imported the separate Voice/Conversational AI Agent snapshot.

This is a small update, but it's necessary to prevent the workflow from firing unexpectedly. Again, this update only applies if you've imported the Voice/Conversational AI snapshot, which is separate from the main SmartDirectoryAI snapshot.

I have added a new input field on the agency side to control the menu text hover color. Previously, the hover color was being applied from an unclear or undefined source, which made it difficult to manage and customize.

This has now been resolved by introducing a dedicated setting for hover color, giving full control and transparency.

Additional improvements:

I have fixed the submenu navigation issue. Previously, when hovering over the menu, the submenu would disappear before the user could click on it. This caused a poor user experience and made navigation difficult.

I have now resolved this by improving the hover behavior, ensuring the submenu remains visible long enough for users to interact with it smoothly. The navigation is now more stable and user-friendly.
