We just pushed a new release to our Helpmonks servers which contains the following updates to the API:

1. **The return data format has changed**  
The updated API now has the following returned format:  
success : true/false,  
error : contains error (only visible if success is false)  
results : contains the result  
You can find more details about it in our [Developer documentation](https://developer.helpmonks.com/api/overview/?ref=helpmonks.com).
2. **New method: updateAssignee()**  
The new updateAssignee() method allows you to quickly update the assignee of a conversation with the API. The new method is documented at [https://developer.helpmonks.com/api/conversation/update\_assignee/](https://developer.helpmonks.com/api/conversation/update%5Fassignee/?ref=helpmonks.com)
3. **Fix on creating a new conversation**  
We found an issue when creating a new conversation that did not properly add the user of the conversation. In addition the [documentation for creating a new conversation](https://developer.helpmonks.com/api/conversation/create/?ref=helpmonks.com), shows more examples and explains the format to add a new user automatically.
