[Improvement] General
Configuration forms for syncs, sync templates, destinations, sources, and event syncs respond faster to typing and toggles. Large field mappings that used to lag behind keystrokes now keep up.
[New] Events
The Events CLI generates typed SDK wrappers from event contracts so you can catch schema mismatches in your editor.
[Improvement] Agents
Rename a chat in the agent sidebar by double-clicking its name, typing, and pressing Enter. The sidebar is also fully keyboard-navigable, and switching between chats is faster.
[New] Ad Studio
Comment on an ad in the visual editor to gather feedback before you launch. Pin a note to a spot on a static ad or a moment in a video, mention teammates to notify them by email, and track unread threads from the notifications bell above the Ads page.
[New] Context Hub
Sync Snowflake semantic views or Databricks Unity Catalog metric views into Context Hub as an external context source. Agents read your governed definitions for terms like LTV, net revenue, and active customer, then use them to interpret questions and write queries.
[New] Destinations
New FreeWheel Data Suite destination , create FreeWheel segments and keep their membership current for targeting across CTV inventory. Hightouch computes which users entered or left the audience between runs and delivers those changes as incremental additions and removals.
[Improvement] Destinations
Object ID lookups on the Salesforce and Salesforce Sandbox destinations accept additional match conditions. Alongside the existing field-equals-column match, add fixed-value conditions so the lookup resolves only against records that qualify, such as active users or a single record type.
[New] Customer Studio
Audience membership traits list every audience a user currently belongs to as a column on the parent model. Sync that list to a destination alongside a user's other traits, or filter on its length to find users who belong to fewer than five campaigns.
