New capabilities

Functionality
Description
Email predictive subject line
When editing an email, a new option lets you try out different subject lines and get an estimation of its open rate before you send it. This is made possible by training your own model based on your past delivery data or by using a pre-defined model that is specific to your industry. This feature is available for email messages and for databases that contain English contents only.
For more information about enabling and using it, refer to the detailed documentation.
SMS transactional messaging
The SMS channel has been added to Adobe Campaign's transactional messaging capabilities. Two channels are now supported for transactional messages: email and SMS.
For more information, refer to the detailed documentation.
Follow-up message for transactional messaging
It is now possible to create a workflow targeting an event. This means that you can send a follow-up message to the customers who previously received a transactional message. You can filter the target by the event type, the event broadlogs and the tracking logs. In the follow-up message, you will be able to leverage the content of the event (payload).
For more information, refer to the detailed documentation.
Extended Profile & Services API
You can now expose extended fields in the Profile and Services API. The publication mechanism allows APIs to map the extended fields of the Profiles or Services custom resources. For this to work, the Datamodel role has been added. This new role allows the user to configure a set of administrators who will have access to the data model.
For more information, refer to the detailed documentation.

16.9 - September 2016 release

New capabilities

Functionality
Description
Remarketing Triggers
Integration between the core service Triggers and Adobe Campaign allows you to send personalized emails to your customers as a reaction to specific behaviors that are tracked on your website by Adobe Analytics (within 15 minutes).
In Adobe Marketing Cloud, you define the different triggers, that is to say, the customer behaviors that you would like to monitor, such as all of the clients who abandoned their cart or their form, removed a product from their cart, or even the clients whose session expired. When creating a trigger, you define the trigger's condition and the data that will be sent in the event (pload) to Adobe Campaign.
In Adobe Campaign, you select the trigger that was previously created, you enrich the event data with datamart data and you define a transactional message template linked to that trigger. For example, when a client abandons their cart, an event is sent to Adobe Campaign which can then leverage this event via a remarketing email that is sent to the client within 15 minutes.
For more information, refer to the detailed documentation.
Transactional messages: Pause / Unpublish
You can now suspend the publication of a transactional template while you update its content. The corresponding messages are no longer sent, but they are stored in the database. When resuming, the queued messages are processed and they are sent if they have not expired.
For more information, refer to the detailed documentation.
You can now also unpublish events and transactional templates. The corresponding messages are not sent anymore and they are not stored in the database.
For more information, refer to the detailed documentation.
Multibranding
Clients with multiple brands can now manage them in the same instance. Branding is a feature managed by the administrator of your Adobe Campaign instance that allows you to centrally configure all of the parameters related to a brand within Adobe Campaign. This includes things such as the logo to more technical parameters like tracking URLs, Web Analytics, server URL, domain name, etc.
For more information, refer to the detailed documentation.
Responsive email design preview
This feature allows you to test your email's responsiveness on different types of devices. In the email preview, a grid has been added to test your email on various screen sizes.
Push notifications
A new channel has been added to allow marketers to send personalized and segmented push notifications on iOS and Android mobile devices. Messages can be sent through a single delivery or using a workflow activity. Compatibility with Transactional messaging will be available in future versions. This channel leverages the Mobile core service’s SDK (available here).
For more information, refer to the detailed documentation.

New capabilities

Functionality
Description
Enriched transactional messages

Dynamic URLs for images
This new functionality allows you to personalize an image source by inserting content blocks and dynamic text for tracking and personalization purposes.
It then becomes possible, amongst other things, to profit from the functionalities of AEM Asset (S7) dynamic media by entering parameters into the image URLs. For example, you can send an email with personalized images stating "Hello Alexandre, get the latest news about upcoming events in Paris!" or "Hello Frank, get the latest news about upcoming events in New York!".
For more information, refer to the detailed documentation.
Integration with People Core Service
The Adobe Marketing Cloud Declared IDs are now covered by the integration between Adobe Campaign and People Core Service (Profiles & Audiences).
This means that you can import segments and export audiences made up of Visitor IDs or Declared IDs.
For more information, refer to the detailed documentation.
