Enhancements
Bot-clicks Now Visible on the Campaign Overview Report
Link click activity is a key metric Marketers use to gauge the success of their campaign. It can indicate actual or real readers of campaign content.
Bots can be utilized by organizations on behalf of recipients to click every link in an email, serving as protection from malware. While harmless, these clicks inflate the appearance of recipient engagement and campaign success.
Background
- Previously, bot-clicks could not be removed when reporting a campaign’s link click activity. These clicks have the potential to inflate the appearance of campaign effectiveness.
Solution
- Bot-click activity is now identified and separated as its own metric on the Campaign Overview Report, and gives Marketers accurate data on their campaign impact.
Over the next releases, bot-click mitigation will be added to all remaining Operational reports that show link click activity, as well as triggers and AB winners.
For more information, refer Campaign Report - Overview.
Preheaders Now Automatically Include Smart Padding
Marketers can increase open rates of email campaigns by utilizing short, impactful preheaders that are followed by white space to make it stand out in a crowded inbox. To accomplish this, marketers add padding after preheaders to prevent the email body from appearing after the preheader in the inbox preview.
Background
- Previously, to add padding, marketers had to manually add large blocks of padding HTML entities after a preheader to ensure that only the preheader would show in the inbox preview. Regular space characters typically collapse into a single space in the inbox preview, so marketers would insert typically thousands of characters of HTML for just a few spaces.
Solution
- Now, Smart Padding is automatically added after preheaders in Cheetah Messaging. Smart Padding adds the perfect amount of spacing needed for each unique message to prevent the email content from immediately following the preheader into either single line inbox previews or multiple line previews. If less padding is needed, less is used, making emails smaller and faster to load and open. Both length of subject line and length of preheader are taken into account.
- Smart Padding can easily be deactivated with a simple check-box, if you prefer to manually add your own HTML padding.
- Note that there is no padding added if there are no preheaders entered.
For more information, refer Configure Email Campaign > Enter Message Envelope Values. Check out the Preheader User Guide for insight into preheader best practices.
New Preheader and Smart Padding options for Multivariate Campaigns now supported in CSV Import Files
When setting up multivariate campaigns (with Cells and Splits), some marketers prefer to import their campaign content using CSV files.
Background
- Previously, the preheader feature was available for multivariate campaigns, but users were not able to import campaign content with preheader data in a CSV file.
Solution
- Users can now import a CSV file that includes a preheader for a multivariate campaign.
- Additionally, you can opt to turn off the Smart Padding that is automatically added after preheaders, in your CSV import, if you prefer to add padding manually.
- An updated template for multivariate CSV imports is now available for download.
For more information, refer Campaigns - Split Cells > Import Cells.
February 2023 (23.2.0) Release
Features will be deployed to all customers during February:
NA -February 10, 2023
EMEA -February 22, 2023
Japan - February 22, 2023
Features
New Preheader Feature now Available in Multivariate Campaigns
Many marketers leverage the power of Preheaders after the Subject Line to control what text appears in the inbox preview and to ultimately increase open-rates and engagement.
Background
- Our new Preheader feature was released in January for email campaigns, but was not yet available when running a multivariate campaign.
Solution
- You now can easily add Preheaders when creating a multivariate email campaign in Messaging, and test them.
- To find and use the best combination of Preheader and Subject Line, you can now select them both as shown below, and use Projected Open Rate as the winner criteria to find the combination that received the highest open rate without noise from Apple MPP.
Note: Because the preheader is automatically inserted directly after the opening body tag, if your HTML email is missing the body tag, the preheader will not appear. |
You can learn more about your new inbox super-power preheader best-practices, by reading Increase Opens with the Inbox Preview - Using Cheetah Messaging Preheaders.
Identify the Best Performing Subject Line and Preheader Pairs in Comparison Reports
Implementing Subject Lines and Preheaders together can make a powerful impact on open rates and engagement, Marketers can now identify and use the combination that produces the highest Projected Open Rate.
Background
- While our new Preheader feature was released in January for email campaigns, users could not compare the open-rate performance of Subject-line/Preheader pairs used.
Solution
- The Preheader now appears on the Comparison Report, after the Subject Line field.
- The row with the highest Projected Open Rate will indicate the combination of Preheader and Subject Line that produced the highest open rate, without noise from Apple MPP.
HTML Opens Rates Now More Meaningful Using Projected Open Rates as a Reporting Goal
The Reporting Goal feature allows Marketers to set specific criteria for campaign performance goals, such as bounce backs, reads, shares, etc. Results are then visually displayed in the Campaign Report.
Background
- Marketers using HTML opens need a statistically valid method to compare opens and to set open goals. Open HTML rates with or without Apple MPP removed are not comparable if there are different ratios of Apple and non-Apple users across campaigns.
Solution
- You can now utilize the Projected Open Rate as a normalized metric for Reporting Goals that is unaffected by different ratios of Apple MPP users and non-users across different campaigns.
New Preheader Feature Now Visible in Email Campaign Preview
When designing campaigns, marketers utilize the Preview to see rendering of message content as it will appear to recipients.
Background
- Our new Preheader feature was released in January for email campaigns, but was not yet available in the Preview pane.
Solution
- Marketers can now see Subject-line and Preheader pairings in the Preview pane to ensure they are appearing and working together as intended.
- The preheader will appear following the subject line and a “-” just as it will appear in the inbox preview in the Gmail browser email client. See the example below.
Stability Parameter added for Successful Export to AWS S3 Buckets
Amazon Web Services advises their S3 cloud storage bucket clients to disable Access Control Lists (ACLs) for data security. In April 2023, all new AWS S3 buckets will have ACLs disabled as a default setting by AWS.
Background
- Previously, when ACLs were disabled in S3 buckets, exports from Messaging to S3 buckets would fail.
Solution
- Now, when users indicate their ACLs are disabled in the S3 settings, Messaging will automatically add the required parameter to ensure successful exports.
January 2023 (23.1.0) Release
Features will be deployed to all customers during January:
NA - January 13, 2023
EMEA - January 17, 2023
Japan - January 25, 2023
Features
Control the Email Inbox Preview with the New Preheader
The first text of an email will always appear after or below the subject line in the inbox preview. However, often the text at the top of the email is not the optimal text to reinforce the subject line and motivate the recipient to open the email. In those situations many marketers today might want to add a preheader that does not appear in the opened email, to control what text appears in the preview and increase opens.
Please note that this feature creates content that only appears in the inbox preview, not a row that appears at the top of an email.
Background
- Previously in Messaging, adding a preheader that does not appear in the opened email required a user to manually write HTML in the content editor and add styling to make it invisible in the opened email.
Solution
- You now have the ability to add a Preheader by simply typing it in the Setup window, when creating a Messaging email campaign. The preheader will appear in the preview, but will not appear in the opened email.
- You can learn more about your new inbox super-power preheader best-practices, by reading Increase Opens with the Inbox Preview - Using Cheetah Messaging Preheaders.
View Filter Components Easily with the New Resizable Right Panel
The right panel of the Filter screen displays the components used when creating filters.
Background
- Previously, this panel would cut off longer field names. While a horizontal scroll bar exists on the panel to view the full field name, it could be difficult to quickly locate fields needed for segmentation.
Solution
- You now have the ability to simply expand the panel, keeping it the size needed to view all the components, and retract it if you need the space back in the filter area.
- Viewing the full name of filter criteria makes creating filters easier and reduces opportunities for error.
Find a Source Table Instantly with Type-ahead Search
When creating a new Campaign, Filter or other new items, Marketers have to choose a Data Source Table.
Background
- Previously, users had to scroll through existing Data Source names to locate and select the correct source. Marketers often have a long list of Data Source Tables to choose from.
Solution
- When selecting your Data Source Table for a new Campaign, Filter or other item, you can now make your selections faster by using type-ahead keywords in the search field.
Improved One Click Unsubscribe now Automatic
We have automated the One Click Unsubscribe form in Messaging to reduce Marketers’ labor and potential for errors.
Background
- Previously, Cheetah Messaging included an optional feature that required a user to create a Web Form for unsubscriptions, that was tied to a sender profile. This unsubscribe form was then selected by a user from a dropdown in the email header.
- This workflow required the user to create the form correctly and to then select the unsubscribe form for the correct sender profile, to ensure that if a recipient unsubscribed, it would be to the type of message the recipient had just received.
Solution
- In this release this feature now behaves differently:
- The form is generated automatically
- The correct form is automatically selected for the sender profile that was selected for the new email campaign
- When creating a new email campaign, the unsubscribe form dropdown will no longer appear in the email header screen
- If you currently don’t have the Automatic One Click List Unsubscribe feature in your account and would like it to be available, contact your Client Services Representative to activate this feature. This feature is primarily used by customers in Germany and other parts of EMEA.
Receive Notifications of Merge Errors
Merge Errors result in a reduced audience seeing your message. They are often caused by malformed email addresses, or missing concatenation in an import.
Background
- Previously, Marketers checked individual campaigns to determine if any campaign had a merge error. This could be laborious, and delay a response.
Solution
- Through Subscription settings, you can now subscribe and be alerted when there is a merge issue with a campaign and address the problem while the campaign is still fresh.
- Below is a merge error notification example:
Apple MPP now Mitigated in your Domain Delivery Report
The Domain Delivery Report provides additional detail on the recipient email domains, and how those domains performed against each other.
Background
- Previously, precached activity by Apple MPP was not accounted for in this report.
Solution
- In this release, users are now able to distinguish in the Domain Delivery Report what volume of activity per domain was from real human activity without Apple MPP precaching, along with total volume of activity.
Folder Panels are now Resizable
Folders are used to store user created items in Messaging. Marketers utilize a variety of naming constructs when creating folders and often need to create long folder names.
Background
- Previously, the panel would cut off longer folder names making it difficult at times to identify folders.
Solution
- Users can now see these longer folder names by resizing and expanding the folder list display on the left pane.
October 2022 (22.10) Release
Features will be deployed to all customers during October:
NA - October 14, 2022
EMEA - October 18, 2022
Japan - October 26, 2022
Features
Subject Line Testing in the Age of Apple MPP
Currently, Messaging does not include Subject Line on the Comparisons Report; a user must have Marketing Intelligence (MI) reporting to perform SLT (Subject Line Testing).
Also, even with Apple MPP opens withheld, varying ratios of Apple MPP and non-Apple MPP recipients across different cells make all regular open rates potentially misleading for comparison purposes, even with Apple MPP opens filtered out.
Background
- All users of Messaging need an efficient way to perform SLT.
- Apple MPP makes traditional open reporting, even with false opens filtered out, not viable for comparing the open performance of campaigns and cells.
Solution
- In the October release, Marketers will receive the ability to perform SLT in the out-of-the-box Comparisons report, and will be able to compare using the Projected Open rate, eliminating the noise of different ratios of Apple MPP and non-Apple MPP users in each campaign or cell.
Winner Cell Selection Post Apple MPP
Even with Apple MPP opens withheld, the varying ratios of Apple MPP and non-Apple MPP recipients of different cells make regular open rates not comparable across cells, even with false opens removed. This is problematic when choosing an A/B Test winner.
Background
- Apple MPP makes traditional open reporting, even with false opens filtered out, not viable for comparing the open performance of campaigns and cells, or for choosing a winner.
Solution
- In the October release, we will include Projected Open Rate as an option for winner selection criteria for A/B tests. Marketers will have a better way to use opens for automatic winner selection that compensates for different ratios of Apple MPP users across cells.
Increased Working Space - Left Navigation Will Become Narrower
As users work from laptops and other lower resolution displays, they need increased space to work, especially in nested screens. Toolbars and other UI elements currently consume screen space needed by users to perform tasks.
Background
- Marketers need Messaging to be usable to easily complete tasks on laptop and other lower resolution displays.
Solution
- As part of a larger initiative to increase space to work, in October release we are reducing the real estate consumed by the left navigation bar. The additional horizontal space will begin to release some of the area needed for performing tasks.
- To have narrower left navigation, you will need to set the Layout option to Compact (Beta) in the Interface section of your user profile in Messaging. You may need to refresh your browser to see the change.
Ability to See Long Names on Lists
In the real world, customers need to name objects with long names. At a certain point longer names become truncated and only visible through tool tips.
Background
- Marketers need to be able to use longer names on lists, and be able to see these names in their entirety before selecting them.
Solution
- In October release, users will be able to widen lists to view long names and make the proper selection.
Reminder - Merge Error Reporting Available to Everyone in October
- In October we are turning on Merge Error Reporting for all customers. Look for it in the Campaign Overview report to see how many sent messages became merge errors, and to download a list of the records that failed.
September 2022 (22.9) Release
Features will be deployed to all customers during September:
NA - September 9, 2022
EMEA - September 13, 2022
Japan - September 28, 2022
Features
Image Search in Content Designer Goes Global
Unlike the general search tool in Messaging, when searching for an image to insert into Content Designer, the search feature will limit the user to searching one folder or subfolder at a time.
Background
- Marketers need efficient workflows, and consistency in behavior between different areas of the product.
Solution
- In the September release, Marketers will receive the ability to search all the folders and sub-folders at once.
Review and Act on Campaign Merge Errors
Marketers reviewing email campaign statistics need to know which recipients’ messages experienced a merge error. A merge error typically occurs when an email address is malformed, or if there was missing concatenation between an email address and a neighboring field in an import.
Background
- Earlier this year, marketers received the ability to review the number of merge errors that occurred in a campaign. However, they need to know where those merge errors occurred, so that they can fix the individual records.
Solution
- In the September release, Marketers will receive the ability to download a report of the campaign’s merge errors.
Please Note
- Merge error reporting is not yet activated for all customers. It will be turned on automatically for all remaining Messaging customers in the October, 2022 release.
Usability Update to the Campaign Overview Report “Goals” Section
As Apple MPP reporting matured in Messaging, the Goals Reads section of the Campaign Overview report grew and became difficult to read. Additionally, new fields were created that many Marketers likely do not yet know how to use.
Background
- Marketers need the Campaign Overview report to be easy to read, and intuitively simple to apply insights from.
Solution
- In this release, the Goals area of the Campaign Overview report has been visually updated to improve readability.
- Within the Goal Reads section, which contains several recently added fields for Apple MPP, each field will have a new popup explanation icon. The popup will explain what the metric is, and how to apply it.
How to Solve Nine Marketer Problems Caused by Apple MPP Right Now
Apple MPP has multiple impacts on email marketing. Previously, we have published help documentation updates each month that are specific to changed functionality in the product, not a holistic, step-by-step guide.
Background
- Marketers need in the Messaging product an end-to-end understanding of the effects of Apple MPP and DIY steps to solve each one.
Solution
- We have created for you in product help a comprehensive explanation of nine issues that Marketers face because of Apple MPP, and described how to solve each one in Messaging today.
- From each of the nine explained problems you can click on a link to see screenshots with step by step directions to solve each problem right now.
- You can find the Apple MPP User Guide here.
August 2022 (22.8) Release
Features will be deployed to all customers during August:
NA - August 12, 2022
EMEA - August 16, 2022
Japan - August 31, 2022
Features
Apple MPP - Projected Open Rate, AB Winners, Filters, Exports & More!
Marketers reviewing email campaign statistics and configuring campaigns with automatic winners of A/B Testing need to know when an open is not real. Marketers need to be able to filter and export recipients who do not have visible interactions, to segment them for more targeted engagement strategies. Marketers need a projected open rate that can be applied to estimate opens across the entire campaign, and provide “apples-to-apples” parity with historic, pre-Apple MPP open rates.
Background
- Since the release of Apple iOS15, an increasing percentage of recorded opens have been not human activity, but open pixels being pre-cached on Apple proxy-servers.
Solution
- In the August release, Marketers will receive:
- A Projected Open Rate to enable estimation of opens across the entire campaign. See the Apple MPP FAQ for a visual, detailed explanation and a guide on when to use or not use the Projected Open Rate
- Visibility of the number and percentage of recipients who were pre-cached but who also clicked on a link in the email, or read an email outside of the Apple Mail app, and became visible as a “Real Reader”
- The ability to exclude false, pre-cached opens from automatic winners when using A/B testing
- The ability to filter and export pre-cached recipients for targeted engagement
- The ability to exclude pre-cached opens from triggers
- The visibility of real opens on the Campaign Comparisons Report
- With this release, Cheetah Digital has addressed all the areas of Messaging that were affected by Apple MPP.
The Helpful Message Project
Background
- When something doesn’t work as intended, Marketers need the Messaging application to explain what went wrong and how to fix it.
Solution
- In this release, the most common error messages in Messaging have been replaced with “Helpful Messages” that provide actionable information and a link to the recommended next step for the user.
Content Designer - Responsive Design for Mobile
Background
- Marketers need to be able to control how messages will appear when viewed on mobile devices without all changes also appearing on desktops.
Solution
- While using Content Designer’s Mobile Design Mode, content and design edits can now be made that will by default not appear when the email is viewed on a desktop.
Content Designer - Control of Borders
Background
- Marketers need to be able to control how borders will appear for more appealing designs.
Solution
- Marketers can now control border color, thickness, and create 1 to 4 rounded corners.
July 2022 (22.7) Release
Features will be deployed to all customers during July:
NA - July 8, 2022
EMEA - July 12, 2022
Japan - July 27, 2022
Features
Apple MPP - Updates to 3 Campaign Reports
Marketers reviewing email campaign statistics need to know the correct number of messages that were opened, without false-positive opens from Apple MPP (Mail Privacy Protection). Additionally, they need to understand what type of hardware opened the email.
Background
- Since the release of Apple iOS15, an increasing percentage of recorded opens have been not human activity, but open pixels being pre-cached on Apple proxy-servers. Gmail and Yahoo! are also creating false opens through image-caching. Apple iOS15 adoption is now at over 80%, elevating false opens.
- Since the release of Apple MPP, a rising number of opens have had device type and OS identified as “Unknown.”
Solution
- In the July release, these reports will begin to offer the option of removing Apple MPP pre-cached opens:
- Comparisons
- Geolocation / Table
- Geolocation Opens
Campaign Scheduling Usability Improvement
Background
- Previously, after selecting a time for a schedule using a mouse scroll wheel, if a user moved down the page and then used the scroll wheel again without clicking out of the schedule picker, the chosen schedule would be changed by the new scrolling action, while outside of the user’s view. The user could then send the campaign without knowing it was set to the wrong time.
Solution
- To stop this from happening, in the July release the ability to pick a time using the mouse scroll wheel has been deactivated.
Reporting Speed Usability Improvement
Background
- The time it takes to process a report can be significantly impacted by various user choices, which in some cases, may be unintentional.
Solution
- In some scenarios when a user creates a report using settings that will significantly delay the completion of the report, a warning is shown.
June 2022 (22.6) Release
Features will be deployed to all customers during June:
AMER - June 10, 2022
EMEA - June 14, 2022
Japan - June 29, 2022
Features
Apple MPP - Updates to 4 Campaign Reports
Marketers reviewing email campaign statistics need to know the correct number of messages that were opened, without false-positive opens from Apple MPP (Mail Privacy Protection). Additionally, they need to understand what type of hardware opened the email.
Background
- Since the release of Apple iOS15, an increasing percentage of recorded opens have been not human activity, but open pixels being pre-cached on Apple proxy-servers. Gmail and Yahoo! are also creating false opens through image-caching. Apple iOS15 adoption is now at over 80%, elevating false opens.
- Since the release of Apple MPP, a rising number of opens have had device type and OS identified as “Unknown.”
Solution
- In June, the Access report will show a proxy-server when an email was opened by Apple MPP.
- The Comparisons report will allow you to exclude opens from Apple MPP.
- The Timeline report will enable you to choose total opens, pre-cached opens, or real opens.
- The Reach report will show both pre-cached and real opens.
Notable Fixes
- This release includes 30 updates for performance, stability, security maintenance, and defect resolution.
- Among them:
- Restoring of the “Convert to Text” button.
- The content chevron not appearing in some cells.
- Cell names showing inconsistent names when renaming the parent campaign.

Features will be deployed to all customers during May:
AMER: May 13, 2022
EMEA: May 17, 2022
Japan: May 25, 2022
Features
Apple MPP - Campaign Overview Export Now Identifies False Opens
Marketers reviewing email campaign statistics need to know the correct number of messages that were opened, without false-positive opens from Apple MPP (Mail Privacy Protection).
Background
- Since the release of Apple iOS15, an increasing percentage of recorded opens have been not human activity, but open pixels being pre-cached on Apple proxy-servers. Gmail and Yahoo! are also creating false opens through image-caching. Apple iOS15 adoption is now at over 80%, elevating false opens.
- In April, the Campaign Overview report first began reporting the level of false opens, and identifying the number human reads across a campaign. However, the export of the report did not yet include pre-cache and real-reader information.
Solution
- In May, the Metrics Export from the Campaign Overview report will begin including data to distinguish between false and human opens and reads.
See All Items Associated with a Content Block
Marketers need to be able to review all the items associated with a Content Block
Background
Previously, Marketers were limited to viewing ten items associated with a Content Block.
Solution
In May, Marketer will be able to download a spreadsheet that shows all items associated with the Content Block.
Download Cells and Splits Crosstab Audits
Marketers using A/B testing need to be able to download audits of their cells.
Background
Crosstab audit data from cells and splits campaigns can have more utility in a spreadsheet, allowing Marketers to do further analysis for insights.
Solution
Following the May release, cells and splits crosstab auditing data is available as a downloadable spreadsheet.
Temporary Change
Campaign Overview Report and Export Will Only Include Apple, Not Google or Yahoo Pre-Cache Data
Marketers reviewing email campaign statistics will temporarily only see Apple pre-cached opens, not Google or Yahoo pre-cached opens
Background
- Since the update of the Campaign Overview report in April, we have been reviewing the new data from pre-caching.
- We need additional time to review Google and Yahoo data before releasing it to customers.
Solution
- In May, we will be temporarily discontinuing the inclusion of Google and Yahoo data on the Campaign Overview report.
- The report will exclusively use Apple data to report pre-cached opens.
- This change will be retroactive, after the release, generating reports for Campaigns that show pre-cache data will be updated to only use Apple MPP pre-cache data.
Notable Fixes
- This release includes 29 updates for performance, stability, security maintenance, and defect resolution.
April 2022 (22.4) Release
Features
Apple MPP - Campaign Overview Report Now Identifies False Opens
Marketers reviewing email campaign statistics need to know the correct number of messages that were opened, without false-positive opens from Apple MPP.
Background
Since the release of Apple iOS15, an increasing percentage of recorded opens have been not human activity, but open pixels being pre-cached on Apple proxy-servers. Gmail and Yahoo! are also creating false opens through image-caching.
Solution
The first Cheetah Digital report to show false opens from Apple MPP, Gmail, and Yahoo! will be the Cheetah Messaging Campaign Overview report. This will be the only Campaign report that will change in April.
In the April release, Campaign Overview Reports will identify pre-cached false opens from Apple MPP and others that occur after the April release for your region (NA - April 22, EMEA - April 22, Japan - April 27), but not before. Upon release, this update is automatically visible to all users.
Please see Frequently Asked Questions and the Cheetah Messaging Online Help to better understand the new terms and concepts that will appear on the Campaign Overview report.
Usability Improvement - Cheetah Messaging New Tab Position
Marketers editing their Campaigns need to be able to easily navigate through their steps.
Background
Currently in Cheetah Messaging, when a user initiates a new step while creating or editing a campaign, the new tab always appears on the far right end of all the other tabs. When a user goes back several steps (tabs) and generates a new tab, it appears on the far right, not next to the tab that generated it. The tab positions then have no significance or utility.
Solution
Following the April release, when a user navigates to a prior tab and initiates an action that generates a new tab, the new tab will always appear directly to the right of the tab that the user had just been on. This is the same behavior as tabs in a browser.
Notable Fixes
This release includes 28 updates for performance, stability, and defect resolution.
March 2022 (22.3) Release
Features
Message Processing Now Indicates the Number of Merge Errors
Marketers reviewing email campaign statistics need to know the correct number of messages that were sent, and how that number was reduced by Merge Errors.
Background
- Currently, Message Processing shows the number of emails sent, but does not show the number of merge errors.
- Merge Errors refer to the records that weren't successfully deployed because of malformed email addresses or incorrect domains.
- Marketers need to know the real number of messages that were sent.
Solution
- Message Processing now indicates the number of Merge Errors
- The platform can be configured to display Merge Error counts next to the "Sending" count.
- The Merge Error count is an optional feature that must be enabled in your account. Please speak to your Client Services Representative for more detail on how to enable this feature.
Adjustable Open Pixel Placement Features
Marketers experiencing issues with layout or formatting due to the location of the open pixel can now re-position the pixel.
Background
In some cases, the placement of the open pixel at the top of the mailing can break the alignment of the content or the formatting of the message. the user could reposition the open pixel to a more obscure placement.
Solution
A Marketer can now reposition the open pixel to a more obscure placement.
The adjustable open pixel is a merge block that you can use to specify the placement of the open pixel when creating your content. The merge block is {{open_pixel}} and is selectable from the Personalization tab.
The ability to adjust the position of the open pixel is only available in the mailing body and cannot be included within a content block. If an open pixel is defined, the new feature will replace the original placement with the newly defined location. If more than one open pixel is defined, the open pixel will be included in the first instance only.
Notable Fixes
This release includes 16 updates for performance, stability, and defect resolution.
