New Features
Resume Parser – Kona Parse (NEW)
In this release, we introduce Kona Parse for resumes!
Using GenAI technology, Kona Parse creates or updates records in Salesforce from the content in the resumes.
Specifically:
- Personal and contact information
- Education history
- Job history
- Skills
Kona administrators configure Parse by defining which objects and fields in Salesforce are populated with the parsed data. Parse can be called directly from a search page or flow.
This release supports English resumes with U.S. addresses only.
Subfilters – Kona Search
Users can now qualify filters on their search pages with hidden subfilters. For example, a filter that returns contacts with a certain title can have a subfilter that says they must be active and currently employed.
Support for Experience Cloud – Kona Match
Match now supports Experience Cloud.
Support for Experience Cloud Portals with Multiple Communities – All Products
Users can now use Kona in Experience Cloud portals with more than one community site, including the ability to have different search pages for each site.
Option to Search Recycle Bin – Kona Search
Users can now search records in the Salesforce recycle bin.
