Q1: January - March 2023

Platform

  • Dynamic Subject Line Line Break Rendering Issue: Liquid code for Dynamic Subject Lines will now remove line breaks to prevent rendering issues, which allows users to include line breaks to make the code more readable. Note: Removal of line breaks will cause content on separate lines to be placed side-by-side if white space isn’t added.

  • Frequency Capping: Updated the configuration to reflect the accurate number of messages being sent.

  • Multi-Pass: Performance improvements were made to support using MultiPass for sends with a large audience.

  • Performance Summary: Removed the line in the white space between the navigation and the Performance Summary report.

  • Performance Summary Action Buttons: Action buttons are horizontally aligned with the date selection.

  • Update Text Color on Download Export Screen: Text changed to provide a better experience and readability for customers.

  • 1px Image Elements in Composer: Composer image element now supports personalizing the image URL by using the email system tag # Listrak\email #, allowing users to customize the dynamic image's width.

Automation

  • Journey Messages: Applied a fix to prevent journey messages from being sent multiple times.

Mobile

  • SMS INFO Keyword System Messages: Updated to ensure messages are delivered to Canadian sender codes in both English and French languages.

  • MMS Billing Issue: MMS sends are now set to the correct carrier so accurate passthrough charges are applied at the time of billing

  • SMS Abandonment Journey Message Timing Error: Resolved an issue to activate journeys with a Wait step before a message step and not allow the same contact to be in the journey as multiple participants.

Web Content

  • Landing Pages: Landing pages were intermittently failing to publish when they contained subscription forms that required a Subscription Point to generate. We’ve updated to ensure publishes are occurring successfully.

  • Landing Page Publishing: Landing pages are no longer stuck in a publishing status and can now be deleted.

  • Phone Number Validation in Landing Pages: SMS subscription forms in landing pages now validate that a phone number has been entered and will automatically format the contact’s phone number entry to ensure it’s properly formatted.

  • Landing Pages Failed Publishing State: Resolved an issue where landing pages were attempting to publish for five minutes, whereby the status will be updated to Failed and it will stop attempting to publish.

  • Dropdown Button Update: Updated landing page button.

Integrations, Data, & Reporting

Automation

  • Multiple Post Purchase Messages: The order number will be used as part of the unique participant key in Post Purchase journeys to ensure duplicate Post Purchase messages are not triggered in Journey Hub for the same order. If a client wants to trigger Post Purchase messages based on an order status change, this can still be handled through the creation of multiple Post Purchase journeys.

  • Allow For Duplicate SKUs In Transactional Message*s: Updated Journey Hub to ensure clients will see all items with the same SKU in confirmation emails.

Mobile

  • Capped Test Messages: SMS test messages are no longer being capped when Frequency Cap is enabled.

  • SMS Contact Deactivated for Switching Carriers: Verizon is currently the only mobile carrier that handles suspensions. Verizon themselves will prevent someone from sending messages while suspended, so until the contact is either unsuspended or moves to another carrier, they would not be able to reach us. If Listrak receives an MO from a contact, we will assume they’re no longer suspended and automatically unsuspend them, allowing them to continue to receive messages.

  • SMS Birthday Profile Data: A contact’s birthday should be saved when provided via a Keyword Campaign with Age Gate enabled.

  • Handling Existing SMS Subscribers: SMS campaign logic was restored to deliver a “you’re already subscribed” message when an existing SMS subscriber tries to re-subscribe, and avoid sending a double opt-in request.

  • Canadian Info Campaigns: SMS update ensures messages are delivered to Canadian sender codes in both English and French languages for aliases configured for the INFO keyword.

Web Content

  • Web Content Publishing Error Message: An error message will display if the web content fails during publishing.

  • Activated Vertical Alignment feature in Page Editor: Users now have more control over the arrangement of elements in multi-column designs on landing pages, which results in an improved user experience. Vertical Align eliminates the need for workarounds when content is unevenly distributed in rows.

  • Landing Page Updates: Updates to forms in Landing Pages will now update the existing Subscription Point instead of generating a new one.

  • Landing Page Data: Landing Page forms will prevent data from being overwritten with empty values if subscribers attempt to re-subscribe without entering profile information.

Q3: July- September 2023

Platform

  • PNG Downloads: PNG downloads on analytics charts were removed to prevent a security vulnerability.

  • Unable to View Profile Field: Profile Field management was updated to improve the dependency check experience for companies that heavily use fields for segmentation and dynamic content, which causes long page load times and timeouts. When the page cannot get all field dependencies, users will be required to refresh the request for each field. This will ensure the page always loads and fields can be managed.

  • Media Library Caching Issue: An upgrade to our image hosting service caused an issue that affected functionality in the Media Library. When overwriting images in the Media Library, we will once again be updating the cache to ensure the newest image is displayed.

  • Short code settings: An issue has been addressed to allow settings to be saved in Canadian sender codes.

Web Content

  • Web Content IP: Updated content forms API to include new whitelist IP.

  • Landing Page "Position On-site" not Positioning: The Position On-site functionality within Landing Pages was disabled, although the UI config was still accessible. Enabled this functionality for all clients with a Landing Page configured to inject on-site.

  • Exit Popup: Popup triggering was updated to account for sites built as a single-page app to ensure that triggers based on page navigation work as expected.

Integrations, Data, & Reporting

Automation

  • Status Check for Product Alerts: When a Product Alert message is sent through Journey Hub, before the message is sent, the product will be checked to confirm it's still purchasable and in stock. This status check will ensure messages that are delayed due to a wait step or quiet hours will only be sent if the product meets the minimum qualifications.

Mobile
