Adestra 3.89

AI subject lines - UI

Repositioned the Generate button and disclaimer text.

Removed the Use persona checkbox from the persona variant AI subject lines as the persona is always applied when editing a variant.

API

List core tables can no longer be changed by the API during an update to prevent accidental list corruption.

  • If the table_id in the PUT request is different from the current table_id, you will now receive an error message.

  • You can still omit the table_id when performing an update to a list.

Remote source and field mapping can be updated and retrieved via the API for a remote list.

DKIM - key length

Adestra now supports DKIM keys longer than 1024-bit. Should you require longer keys, i.e. 2048 or 4096-bit, please contact your customer success manager to discuss options.

Bug fix - staggered launch

Deselecting all of the days in a staggered launch (i.e. excluding every day of the week) would result in the staggered launch defaulting to the launch time and ignoring exclusions.

For a staggered launch to work, you now have to include a minimum of one day in the staggered launch days, i.e. you cannot deselect all launch days and still launch the campaign.

Adestra 3.88

Workspace tags - UI

Users who have edit or admin permissions on a workspace can now see all tags in that workspace when in the following areas:

  • Workspace

  • Project

  • Campaign

  • Filters

  • Forms

  • Lists

AI subject line - UI

Added an indicator to the emoji selector to make it clearer what level of emojis to expect.

Added tooltips to buttons.

Made the AI tools toggleable. Pressing the button once will open the interface. Pressing the button a second time will close the interface.

Personas - UI

Improved the consistency of the UI regarding selector size and function location, e.g. x to remove.

Made the persona images more consistent regarding scale/zoom.

SMS reporting - missing numbers

Added logging for messages not sent because there was a null, empty, or zero value where a mobile number is not provided or missing.

Bug fixes

List exports - when exporting a list with data tables added, the export no longer skips entries with blanks in the data table field, i.e. the entire list is downloaded, even if a field within it is blank.

Save as template - made the email editor button available to edit the content of a copied campaign that uses a saved template.

Reporting - inbound message content is now visible in the UI.

Help centre links - fixed a broken link to help content for the HTML editor.

Adestra 3.87

UI - subject lines redesign

When creating persona variant subject lines, pressing the AI assistant button reveals a new interface where you can generate results for different personas.

Automations - workflow optimisation

Improved automations to optimise filters and avoid stuck launches.

Bug fix - lists and filters

Selecting a filter before selecting a list no longer allows you to select lists that are in a different core table to the filter.

Adestra 3.86

Email editor - delete saved templates

You can now view and delete templates created using the Save As feature.

Data - geographic data

Updated UK geographic mapping to match the latest OS standards and format.

PDT - delayed launches

Updated the Personal Delivery Time logic so that launches are not delayed beyond the scheduled end time if the launch starts before segmentation has completed.

UI - subject lines redesign

Improved the layout of the subject line field to better accommodate AI assist and personas functions.

The personalisation/data and AI assistant buttons are now positioned above the subject line textbox and presented as icons.

Pressing the AI assistant button reveals a new interface where you can:

  • Use a slider to select the number of emojis to include (from a default of zero on the left of the slider to 5 at the furthest right end of the slider).

  • Select a checkbox to base generated results on previous campaign subject lines.

Adestra 3.85

Data viewer - UI change

Decluttered the action menu in the data viewer by changing from a list of action buttons to a set of dropdown menus.
