Hi All,  
The change of behavior we sadly omitted from the release notes:

item.from variable, in messaging scenarios in conversation via a social messenger, now has messenger name prepended, so instead for party identifier being “xyz” as before it is now “messengername:xyz” e.g. “whatsapp:xyz”. Please update social messenger scenarios accordingly.

Updated [release notes](https://help.brightpattern.com/WhatsNew/Version5.23.0)

apologies for any inconvenience this might have caused
