September Update

This release adds external MCP connectors to Launchpad, along with improvements to messaging, reporting, imports, push delivery, and campaigns. Let’s take a look at what’s new in September.

NEW FEATURE

External MCP Connectors for Launchpad

Connect Launchpad to the tools your team already uses. Configure external MCP connectors in App Hub — Amplitude, Atlassian, BlueConic, Google Drive, Monday.com, and Slack are ready out of the box, with support for custom connectors too.

Note: This feature is currently in beta.

Coming Soon to launchpad

Prompt Library

Save your team’s best prompts and reuse them across conversations. Start from Blueshift’s ready-made prompts, or turn any conversation into a reusable one.

Visual Editor Support

Edit visual editor templates across all channel studios directly from Launchpad.

ENHANCEMENT

Rename Shared Assets

Rename shared assets — Blueshift automatically updates the reference string and every template that uses it.

ENHANCEMENT

Custom JSON Payloads for In-App and Inbox Messages

Pass extra metadata to your host app through in-app and inbox messages — invisible to the end user, but available for the app to act on.

ENHANCEMENT

Dynamic APNs Gateway Management

Push notifications now automatically find the right APNs gateway — sandbox or production — based on each device’s environment, so fewer messages are lost to environment mismatches.

ENHANCEMENT

Soft Bounce Rate in Campaign Alerts

Campaign alerts can now track soft bounce rate, not just total bounces — calculated as soft bounces divided by sends.

ENHANCEMENT

Whitelist Event Attributes for Profile Updates

Whitelist event attributes for customer profile updates directly, without contacting Blueshift Support.

ENHANCEMENT

Edit Advanced Settings on Paused Imports

Edit advanced settings on paused event, customer, and recommendation imports directly, without contacting Blueshift Support.

ENHANCEMENT

Archive Campaign Optimizer Agent Runs

The Campaign Optimizer Agent now supports archiving optimization runs, giving teams more flexibility in managing them over time.

ENHANCEMENT

New Public APIs: Data Studio Attributes and Recommendation Schemes

We are introducing two new public APIs:

  • API for returning Data Studio’s attribute schemas for users, events, and products.
  • API that lists recommendation schemes configured for an account, with metadata such as name, algorithm version, and creation date.

ENHANCEMENT

Version Details in Engagement Reports

The version picker in Email Studio engagement reports now shows who created each version and when — version number, date, and author, all in one place.

ENHANCEMENT

‘Updated At’ Column on Customer Lists

The customer list page now shows when each list was last updated.
