Release 19.4 - December 2019 release-19-4---october-2019

What’s new?

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

CCPA is the State of California's new privacy law hat harmonizes and modernizes data protection requirements going into effect on Jan 01, 2020. CCPA applies to Adobe Campaign customers who hold data for Data Subjects residing in California.

In addition to the privacy capabilities already available in Adobe Campaign (including consent management, data retention settings, and user roles), we are taking this opportunity to include additional capabilities, to help facilitate your readiness for CCPA:

  • Right to Access and Right to Delete: we are leveraging the capabilities that were added for GDPR. Learn more

  • When creating a Privacy request, the regulation type (GDPR or CCPA) has been added in the Privacy Core Service. This method is the one you should use for all access and delete requests. The use of the Campaign API and interface for access and delete requests is deprecated. See the Deprecated and Removed Features article.

  • A CCPA Opt-Out field has been added to the Profiles resource to allow Adobe Campaign users to track whether a consumer has opted-out for the sale of Personal Information. Learn more.

Refer to the how-to video.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration (GA)

The integration between Adobe Campaign Standard and Microsoft Dynamics 365 is now available. You’ll be able to transfer your contact and custom entity records from Dynamics 365 to Campaign, and get email event data back from Campaign to Dynamics 365 for better sales/marketing alignment.

Refer to the detailed documentation to set this integration up.

Release 19.3 - July 2019 release-19-3---july-2019

Description

For deeper personalization, External API Activity allows you to bring data from external systems into a workflow via a REST API call. The REST endpoints can be a customer management system, Adobe I/O Runtime or Adobe Experience Cloud REST endpoint (e.g. Data Platform, Target, Analytics, Campaign).

Mobile In-App Messaging

This release contains the GA version of In-App channel in Campaign. From a functional standpoint, the most notable additions to the Beta release are Dynamic reports for In-App channel and secure handshake between Mobile SDK and MCIAS (Marketing Cloud In-App Messaging Service that serves the In-App rules to the SDK). Secure handshake ensures that your users' PII data does not fall into malicious hands as well as enables you to maintain users' privacy on a shared device by clearing out message cache every time the user logs out.

For more information, refer to the detailed documentation and the dedicated In-App tutorial.
