• Campaign List: Fixed display of "last activity" date.

2020-02-17

2020-01-29

New Features:

• Application-specific attributes: When creating a new attribute, you can now specify for which applications this attribute should be available. This allows you to e.g. hide coupon attributes that should only be used in 1 application in your other applications.

Enhancements:

• API Keys: Admins will now receive an e-mail whenever an API Key is about to expire.

Bug fixes:

• User permissions: Users with read-only permissions will no longer see the "create application" and "add attribute" buttons on certain pages.

New Features:

• Notifications: We added an option to your use profile to enable notifications on a per-application basis. Enable this feature to receive an e-mail whenever campaigns get disabled, expire, get created.

• API Log: Improved the performance for fetching request/response logs for high-traffic integrations.

2019-12-09

New Features:

2019-11-26

New Features:

• Mandatory Attributes: In application settings, we have renamed the default campaign budget section to Campaign Configuration and added options to control which campaign and coupon attributes are mandatory in this application.

Bug fixes:

• Account Analytics: Fixed an issue where the account page would display total campaigns in stead of active campaigns.

• Rule Builder: Fixed an issue that would lead to the increment/decrement attribute value; effect not working as expected.
• Application Creation: It is no longer possible to create 2 applications with the exact same name.

 

2019-11-11

New Features:

• Campaign Limits: We have added amount of discount effects triggered as an action that can be limited. This will allow you to limit campaigns on how often a discount triggers, rather than on the total monetary amount of the discounts.

2019-09-24

Bug fixes:

• Attribute Deletion: We have completely reworked our logic around deciding if attributes can be deleted or not. This should resolve common issues where attributes could not be deleted even though they were no longer actively used in campaigns.

2019-09-17

Bug fixes:

• Braze Coupon Creation: We have temporarily made our rate limiting more aggressive to avoid server issues during high-load scenario's. We are actively working on optimization of our coupon generation to increase throughput without impacting general performance. For now, we strongly recommend to only run Braze coupon generation outside of your peak traffic times.

2019-09-11

New Features:

• Default Campaign Budgets: We added a section to the application settings which allows you to configure default campaign budgets that will be applied to every newly created campaign within the application. These budgets can be overwritten in the campaign settings afterwards. See our help center for more info

Enhancements:

2019-09-02

Enhancements:

• Customer Details: Use loyalty program display names in stead of internal names where applicable.
• General UI: We upgraded to a new library for our select/multi select input fields. This should make them a bit more reliable and pleasant to use.

Bug fixes:

• Rule Builder: Fixed a display bug with collapsed loyalty effects
• Rule Builder: Fixed the behavior of the "number is between" condition
• Copy Campaigns: Disable the submit button while a copy is in progress. This should prevent accidentally creating 2 copies of a campaign
• Campaign/Coupon deletion: Fixed a (hard to track down) bug that caused coupon deletion to get very slow. This would lock the database and caused other operations to stall.

2019-08-22

Enhancements:

• Loyalty: Added the option to create loyalty programs with "sub ledgers", meaning the points that users collect can be grouped by specific "entities.

Bug fixes:

• Rule Engine: Time-type attributes can now be updated in effects again.

• Coupon Import: Fixed further issues with race conditions and deadlocks when importing coupons.

2019-08-21

Bug fixes:

• Attribute Creation: When changing the type of an attribute in the attribute creation form, we no longer reset the other fields in the form.

• Coupon Import: Fixed issues when trying to import coupons that used attributes that were never previously used.
• Rule Builder: Fixed an issue with checking if a date is in a list of dates. Previously we would check for the exact timestamp, now we correctly check for the actual date.

Enhancements:

• Attributes: We now more consistently use the display name of an attribute in the UI, rather than the internal name.
• Rule Builder: When comparing dates using e.g. "is 2 days after/before", we will now check for 2 calendar days, not 48 hours.
• Braze Coupon Creation: You can now set a usage limit when creating coupons using Braze.

2019-08-12

New Features:

• Rule Evaluation and Limits: Before, whenever a rule evaluated to true but a campaign limit was reached, the rule engine would not apply the effects that would violate the limit. However, the rule as a whole was still considered as "evaluated to true".
  
  Now, whenever a campaign limit is reached, and effects can not be applied as a consequence, the rule will evaluate to false.
  
  This fixes a lot of unintended behavior, such as:
  - Coupons will now be rejected whenever any campaign limit was reached
  - Campaign priority will not consider exclusive campaigns as "triggered" whenever limits are reached

Enhancements:

• Emails: We have changed our back-end infrastructure for sending the e-mails for password reset and user invitations. This should make sending these e-mails more reliable.
• Coupon Generation: Disallow leading/trailing whitespaces in coupon patterns.

2019-08-08

Bug fixes:

• Braze Coupon Creation: Coupons generated in Braze now respect case sensitivity of the application.
• Coupon Reservation: Fixed a server panic when trying to reserve a non-existing coupon (we now return a 404 in stead)

Enhancements:

• Rule Builder: When trying to leave the rule builder with unsaved changes on the page, the prompt will now allow you to save changes before leaving.

• Rule Builder: Fixed an issue where not all campaigns would show up in the "create coupon" effect.
• Rule Engine: Fixed a bug where floating-point attribute values would be overridden if they were used in a discount formula. This also fixes the mis-calculated discounts in these cases.

Enhancements:

• Campaigns List: Re-added "created by" column
• Account Details Page: Improved formatting of numbers.

• Integration API: Fix a race condition when multiple incoming requests are trying to update the same customer profile.

Enhancements:

• Rule Builder: Cart Item Filters that are in use will no longer be fully locked for editing. We still prevent changing the name and the output type of the filter, as this would break the rule.
• Rule Builder: Display the "output type" of a cart item filter. We now display if a filter resolves to a list of cart items, or a number, or a string, etc.
