Adestra 3.72

Email editor – save as template

When a saved template is selected from the template selector, the source button is unavailable in the campaign page.

Templates using the new save as template feature will have dedicated thumbnails.

Campaigns – launch button

Removed the ability to double-click the launch button, potentially resulting in duplicated launches.

Bug fix – SMS credits

Message credits now display correctly for SMS when using copy/paste to enter a message.

Bug fix – dynamic lists

A dynamic list that uses a filter and a remote list that includes an embedded double-space now pulls those contacts into the list.

Adestra 3.71

Automation - UI improvement

The buttons relating to the automation program are no longer visible in the expanded view to make it easier to see the program.

API - account information

You can now access account information with a user call, e.g. /users/{user_id}, via the REST API. Added fields are:

account_name - the name field from the accounts table.
db_name - the db_name field from the accounts table.
account_label - the account_label field from the accounts table.
url_prefix - the url_prefix method on the account result object.

Campaigns - subject line width

Adjusted the AI assistant subject line text box width to match the width before the introduction of the subject line AI assistant.

Adestra 3.70

Dataviewer - list links

Lists are now linked in the dataviewer.

Imports - field name display

You can now view long field names when mapping an import, i.e. longer than the text box, by hovering over the field text box.

Campaigns - subject lines

In the campaign compose step, you can now use the 'more options' menu (⋮) when editing a subject line.

Screen capture of expanded options menu in subject line editor to show available options.

Bug fix - support button

The support button no longer displays with an empty list under certain conditions.

Bug fix - event stream API

Options:fields=name will now return results when using only one parameter.

Adestra 3.69

AI assist - subject line assistant

Rollout of Adestra's AI assisted subject line generation tools, allowing you to:

Add emojis to a subject line.
Generate alternative subject lines.
Generate subject lines based on previous campaigns.

To access the AI subject line tools:

Create a campaign and navigate to the options page.
Select the subject line entry field to reveal the AI Assistant button.
Press the AI Assistant button to reveal the AI icons.

Note: by using this feature, you acknowledge and agree to Upland Software, Inc's AI policy.

File manager - sort function

Updated sort functionality when in grid view to replace column header UI with a dropdown menu for sorting, e.g. sort by date modified.

Note: sorting in grid view is in ascending order. You can still sort in descending order in list view.

Tip: if you sort in descending order in list view and then switch to grid view, your files remain in descending order.

UI - search box styling

Standardised the search box styling across the platform.

Filtered searches always have a line between the filter and the text box.
Drop down boxes sized according to their contents.
X button in the search input replaces the functionality of the clear search button.

Adestra 3.68

AI assist - subject line assistant (beta)

Improvements to the subject line assistant:

You can now generate subject lines based on previous campaigns. When this icon is pressed, the AI assistant uses up to the 25 most recent distinct subject lines in the current project to generate subject line suggestions.

Note: attempting to generate suggestions using historic subject lines when there are none for the given project will result in an error notice.
Personalise button relocated under the subject line box
AI assistant button located under the subject line text box. Pressing the AI Assistant button reveals AI icons.
Link to Upland AI Disclaimer for OpenAI added.
