[New] Agents
Speak to an agent instead of typing your message. Useful for describing an analysis you want or an audience you're building, where saying it out loud is faster than writing it out.
[Improvement] Destinations
Iterable trigger syncs support Insert, Update, and Upsert modes across trigger email, push, in-app, SMS, and journey. A row previously fired only when it first appeared in the model, so Update and Upsert let you re-trigger a campaign when a contact's data changes.
[New] Destinations
The SMTP Email destination can attach query results as a JSON file, in addition to CSV.
[New] Customer Studio
Realtime audiences and realtime traits can filter on arrays of objects in event payloads, like the products in an order. Choose **any item** or **all items**, and every item condition is checked against the same item, so `brand = Acme` and `price > 100` only match a single product that meets both.
[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.
[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
Event-based journeys select subsets on the Start tile. A required category must have a selection before you can update the tile, and the selection scopes who enters the journey and who direct message tiles can send to.
[Improvement] Destinations
When you trigger Braze campaigns or Canvases, you can now identify recipients by email address or user alias, not just external user ID. This lets you reach prospects and unregistered users who don't have an external ID in Braze yet.
