Adestra 3.93

API

Added account_id to user.self results.

Updated the one-click list unsubscribe header to only unsub the contact when the url receives a POST request.

Added a feature setting to enable hiding of dedicated lists from the API (i.e. lists that are only intended to be used for one campaign or has a campaign ID).

Bug fixes

Resolved a conflict between the Spam Filter Detector and Remote XML with xmlns tags.

When copying a campaign with presets, you are now asked to confirm the campaign options in the new campaign.

List-Unsubscribe-Post header nor List-Unsubscribe header do not feature in emails sent where the unsub feature is not enabled at the workspace or project level.

Adestra 3.92

API - event stream query

New query parameter added to export exact event types for Event Stream API Endpoint. When options are present, only events of those types are passed back.

Existing white lists are applied. Events not white listed are ignored.

Searching for non-existing types and types on the “skip” list will be ignored and therefore return no record.

Two-click unsub - hide/remove from campaign options

Preference options added to hide/remove the two-click unsub menu in the campaign options and use only the default (also set in preferences).

Bug fixes

Long running filters no longer result in a launch failure warning while the filters are still running. Status is updated after filters have run.

Setting an event export data source to a workspace no longer removes all sms_launch events

Adestra 3.91

User permissions - hidden workspaces

When assigning user permissions, inactive workspaces are now hidden by default.

AI subject lines - option selections

When using the subject line generator, the tool remembers your settings/selections, i.e. if you want to get more subject line suggestions, you do not have to reselect the persona, etc.

SMS links - domains

The unsub link now uses the same domain configured for the tracking links, if configured.

If there is no domain configured for the tracking links, then the unsub link will use what’s set in the preference.

Bug fixes

UnsubList API no longer identifies the workspace id as a string.

Using the hints code to select the from address when DKIM is configured now also updates the DKIM settings to match.

UCM login permissions updated.

Unicode characters in transaction tags no longer break filters.

PGP keys can now be saved in the export screen.

Adestra 3.90

AI subject lines

When using previous campaigns for subject line suggestions, the AI assistant now uses the top performing 25 campaigns in the last 6 months, ordered by best to worst CTOR, instead of the 25 most recent subject lines.

Repositioned the Generate button and disclaimer text.

SMS - reporting

Metrics for messages targeting customers with bad record data, e.g. missing a mobile number in the database, changed from 'Rejected' to 'Not Attempted' with the reason being listed as 'Bad Record'.

Side-by-side image of the reporting screen before and after the change to illustrate the move of 'rejected' to 'bad record'.

Bug fixes

Staggered split test manual launch - manually launching using the 'Send this variant' button no longer results in the staggered launches selecting another variant.

Save as template preview - campaign previews now reflect edits made to the content if using a template created using the Save as Template feature.

Incremental list exports - contacts with a NULL value in their 'created' column no longer appear in incremental list exports.

Adestra 3.89

AI subject lines - UI

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.
