Accelerator 25.2.1 Release Notes

Initiatives Released 

Marketing Campaign Updates

For customers using multiple channels - email, push, and SMS - this update enhances workflow efficiency by incorporating channel selection into the creation workflow. Additionally, templates are now displayed upon selection, allowing marketers to quickly confirming their choice. Recurring schedules now display the next 10 launch times, for added clarify prior to launch.

Goals

• Update the UI for Marketing Campaigns, introducing new Overview page and settings
• Improve template and audience selection via channel filtering
• Support new recurrence options and launch schedule display
• Add un-rendered content preview to help with template review

Capabilities

This release contains several updates to the new Marketing experience made available in Accelerator version 25.1.1. For a full list of capabilities, refer to the Accelerator 25.1.1 Release notes.

All Blueprint nodes selected by default

When a Blueprint is added to a campaign, all the Blueprint’s nodes are now selected by default. Previously, no Blueprint nodes appeared to be selected by default, resulting in all the Blueprint’s recipients being targeted by the campaign. To further avoid confusion, at least one node must now be selected before saving the campaign’s Blueprint filters.

By default, All Blueprints nodes are selected for targeting and recording

Automated preview schedule

For one-time and recurring schedules, use the Select Automated Preview Schedule to receive a preview of a Template as an email at a specified time before the schedule runs. This requires creating and managing Automated Preview Schedules.

Automated preview schedule is selected when updating your campaign’s schedule

Advanced section updates

Several fields - Pre-trigger, Post-trigger, and Suppression list - have been moved from the Who section to the Advanced section to help streamline campaign set up.

Additionally, external seedlists are available for selection in the Seedlist field. 

The Advanced section now includes Campaign triggers and Suppression list

Use case
