The summer release of SAP Marketing Cloud is here with many new features!


A comprehensive list of all features can be found on the What’s New in SAP Marketing Cloud release page. The release has the code 2308 with 23 referring to the year 2023 and 08 referring to the month of August.

In this blog we want to highlight some of the features but be sure to have a look at the comprehensive list as well.

Products or events can be mapped to interactions in forms


The Forms and Landing Pages are now able to map events to interactions. With this, you can realize scenarios like event registration and participation without the need of an additional event management tool.

Also, you can map products to interactions in forms. This will support scenarios like product registrations via landing pages.

Edit Events and upload participants


The Events App allows you to edit events and upload participants with the 2308 release. With these capabilities, we address events that participants attend in person that can be realized within the SAP Marketing Cloud.

Target Group for Data File Loads


When you load contacts or corporate accounts with a file, the data file load app offers as a last optional step to add the loaded data to a target group.

Additional capabilities in standard segmentation objects


In this release we extended again several segmentation objects  to allow for a faster adoption of performance optimized models:

  • Account team members are now available as segmentation attributes in all segmentation objects.

  • Attributes related to surveys are now available in the segmentation object Contact Relationships.

  • Attributes related to coupons and offers are now available in all segmentation objects. Previously, they only existed in the segmentation object Consumers.

BIMI Support for Emails


Bimi stands for Brand Indicators for Message Identification, which is an email specification enabling the use of brand-controlled logos within supporting email clients. It brings the brand logos to the customer's inbox. For more information see BIMI Group .

Customers can work with their ESP provider, for example with Sinch:  BIMI Support - Sinch Community - 12138. There is no change on SAP Marketing Cloud side – it is seamless.

Mass Deactivation of Sender Profiles


Over time our customers have collected some historic profiles which now can be cleaned up by deactivating in a consistent and convenient way. The new application job for administrators allows to deactivate sender profiles centrally. Deactivated profiles do not show up any longer when editing an email.

Dear community,

as e-mail editor was renamed to "legacy editor", is there a timeline for deprecation of the old email editor?

 

Kind regards

Robert

Dear Robert,

The legacy editor hasn't been announced for deprecation yet. But feel motivated to move from legacy editor over time. We will extend the capabilities of the email lite editor (will be renamed to email editor) with each further release. More news in the What's New webcast on January 18th - register here.

Kind regards,

Silvia
