March Update

This release introduces new capabilities across AI-powered marketing workflows, campaign optimization, data visibility, and reporting. With the open beta of Launchpad, marketers can now create and execute marketing assets through natural language in a unified workspace. Additional updates expand Campaign Optimizer support for SMS, improve debugging and schema visibility for event data, and add new controls and reporting enhancements for campaigns and deliverability. Together, these updates help teams move faster from insight to execution while gaining deeper visibility into campaign performance and data quality. Let’s take a look at what’s new in March.

UPCOMING FEATURE

Launchpad (Open Beta): Leverage AI Across Blueshift Platform

Launchpad is an AI powered workspace that lets marketers create segments, templates, campaigns, reports, dashboards, and other marketing assets using natural language. Instead of navigating across multiple features in Blueshift, teams can move directly from intent to execution within a single workspace.

Launchpad will be available in open beta by the end of March 2026. 

UPCOMING FEATURE

Campaign Optimizer Agent Support for SMS

The Campaign Optimizer Agent now supports SMS triggers, extending variant testing and automated winner selection workflows to SMS campaigns.

Marketers can:

  • Generate and test multiple SMS content variants
  • Review performance across competing messages
  • Approve the next test directly within the optimizer workflow

Note: This capability applies only to SMS triggers. SMS messages sent through webhook or cloud app routes are not supported. Availability is expected by the end of March 2026.

NEW FEATURE

Events Debug Center

The Events Debug Center provides a dedicated space to investigate failed events. It surfaces ingestion errors, including category and error details, helping users identify and resolve issues faster.

NEW FEATURE

Events Attributes in Data Studio

Data Studio now includes an Events Attributes view. Previously limited to customer schema exploration, users can now view event attributes directly within Data Studio.

The Events Attributes view includes:

  • Event attribute names
  • Data types
  • Categories
  • Attribute descriptions

This makes it easier to understand and work with event data across the platform.

NEW FEATURE

Multiple Triggering Segments for Campaigns

One time, recurring, and segment triggered campaigns now support multiple triggering segments.

Marketers can define:

  • Send to segment groups
  • Don’t send to segment groups

This makes it easier to include or exclude audiences without creating a separate combined segment.

ENHANCEMENT

Skip Goal Event Attribution for Campaigns

Campaigns now include an option to skip goal event attribution. This is particularly useful for transactional campaigns such as order confirmations or password resets, where attributing goal events could distort campaign performance reporting.

ENHANCEMENT

Campaign Activity Details on Customer Profiles

The Campaigns tab on customer profiles now provides deeper visibility into campaign activity events.

Marketers can:

  • View the full event payload for campaign activity events
  • Filter activity events by attribute values

This makes it easier to investigate campaign interactions and troubleshoot issues directly from the customer profile.

ENHANCEMENT

Bounce Reporting Enhancements

Customer profiles now include additional bounce diagnostics.

Updates include:

  • Bounce reasons and SMTP status codes displayed on the Overview and Campaigns tabs
  • The ability to download bounce reports directly from campaigns

These improvements make it easier to investigate deliverability issues and analyze bounce patterns.

ENHANCEMENT

Campaign Type in Campaign Summary Reports

Campaign summary reports now include campaign type as a top level column.

This allows users to easily distinguish between different campaign executions, such as:

  • One time campaigns
  • Recurring campaigns
  • Other campaign types

The addition simplifies reporting and improves analysis when exporting campaign data.
