Adestra 3.105

API - campaigns

Use the recently added variant_id feature with test_options to send a test to a split test variant.

Note: the test goes to version A if a variant_id is not supplied or a variant_id of null is supplied.

API - DKIM

The API now allows account admin users to activate, deactivate, and delete DKIM for domains.

Domain API - documentation

Updated the documentation for the Domain API to clarify features and functionality.

Password requirements

Some previously recommended requirements are now mandatory for passwords.

Adestra 3.104

Reporting – bot clicks

Improved bot click mitigation to more accurately record potential bot clicks.

API – user status

Added the ability to distinguish between active and inactive users to User API calls.

API - DKIM

The API now allows account admin users to create DKIM for domains.

  • DKIM records are created in a non-active state.

  • If the request body is empty, the API call uses msgf as the selector by default.

API – create split test

You can now create a split test campaign using the API.

API – launch variant ID

Added variant_id to the return struct for launches to identify variants of a split test campaign.

Note: the first variant of a campaign does not have a variant ID.

Adestra 3.103

Launches - cancel when filtering

You can now cancel a launch that is in the midst of filtering from either the Launches table or the Launch information page.

PDT - auto-launch

Scheduled PDT launches now launch automatically upon approval except where the start time is before the approval time.

API - view DKIM

API must allow users to view DKIM for domains.

Bug fix - PDT API

Creating and launching PDT campaigns via the API now works as expected.

Adestra 3.102

Shopify integration

Product sync added to the Shopify integration, allowing you to sync your Shopify product catalogue with Adestra.

You can now map data tables as well as core tables in the Shopify mapping using the format TableID.FieldName, e.g. 1234.my_field.

Integration updated for compatibility with Shopify's proposed Field and API call deprecations.

API - campaign variants

Campaign variants can be deleted via the API. This only applies to the multiple variants, i.e. the original variant cannot be deleted.

Variants cannot be deleted if the split test is active.

Note: you must have API write access and edit permissions for the campaign.

Bug fixes

Shopify integration - you can no longer duplicate Adestra fields during the Shopify mapping, i.e. use the same Adestra field for a standard and a custom Shopify field.

Shopify integration - sync using Last Send now displays counts correctly.

Adestra 3.101

Blackbaud Raiser's Edge

New integration: contact your Customer Success Manager to discuss connecting your Blackbaud Raiser's Edge account to Adestra.

Google Feedback Loop

Optional feature: Google Feedback Loop added to header options. Contact your Customer Success Manager to discuss activating this feature if you require GFL.

API - remote lists

You can now un-map fields using the updateRemoteSource API call.

Adestra 3.100
