Copying to workspaces

Copying campaigns across a workspace allows you to get a jumpstart on your message composition by starting with a copy of a campaign in a different workspace. This copy will remain as a draft until you edit and launch, helping you keep and build off your successful messaging strategies.

Test Currents connectors

Test Currents connectors are free versions of our existing connectors that can be used for testing and trying out different destinations. Test Currents have:

• No limit to the number of Test Currents connectors you may build.
• An aggregate maximum of 10,000 events per 30-day rolling period. This event total is updated hourly on the dashboard.

Feature flags

Feature flags allow you to remotely enable or disable functionality for a specific or random selection of users. Importantly, they let you turn a feature on and off in production without additional code deployment or app store updates. This allows you to safely roll out new features with confidence.

Feature flag experiments

Feature flag experiments let you A/B test changes to your applications to optimize conversion rates. Marketers can use feature flags to determine whether a new feature positively or negatively impacts conversion rates, or which set of feature flag properties is most optimal.

Merging user profiles

If your search on the Search Users page returns multiple user profiles, you can merge user profiles by clicking the Merge duplicates button. You can select which user profile to keep, meaning this profile will be kept and will gain attributes from the merged profile.

Performance data by segment

You can now use Query Builder report templates to break down performance data by segments for campaigns, Canvas, variants, and steps.

Updating user profiles

You can now use the /users/track endpoint to update a user profile by phone number or email.
