Release 12 | December 2025

This release of Spotler Mail+ includes several great improvements and bug fixes. In this article, you can read more about:

Custom Recommendation Items

This feature only applies for eCommerce licences.

The Recommendation block in the Messages editor now supports custom fields from the recommendation feed. This enables more tailored content without requiring changes in the Spotler Mail+ interface. At this moment, you can only add custom recommendation items as text or as heading elements. 

Custom items automatically appear in the dropdown menu for selection. However, these custom reccomendation items must be created in Spotler Activate first. Learn more about custom recommendation sources on the Spotler Activate Help Center.

Aria-label input in link popup

In the link pop-up in the Messages editor, you now have the option to add optional aria-label input. This improves email accessibility by allowing screen readers to interpret descriptive text. You can find more technical documentation here: ARIA8 - Labeling links with ARIA

Spam check details

When a message fails the spam check, you will now see a read-only text area with the full raw email message below the error notification. This helps understanding exactly what triggered the spam filter and debugging issues more effectively.

Common reasons for spam check failures may include:

  • Suspicious headers (From/Reply-To), missing or malformed fields
  • Spam-like body content: formatting tricks, obfuscation, or spammy phrases
  • Problematic links or domains
  • Statistical filtering via Bayesian analysis
  • Network tests like DNS blocklists or collaborative filters (e.g., Razor/Pyzor/DCC)

Franchise Administration Dashboard Tab

Franchise accounts now have access to a dedicated dashboard under Settings > Account & Billing > Subaccounts. This dashboard provides a monthly overview with metrics such as:

  • Number of active subaccounts
  • Created and closed accounts
  • Emails sent
  • Remaining credits

The data spans a rolling 24-month period and can be exported to CSV, by clicking the export button in the top right of the dashboard. The data shown in the export matches what is visible in the interface.

Bug fixes

  • Ticket number: 2389737, 2389705 | Bot opens are not filtered out in "Not clicked" contacts
    Previously, the “Not clicked” contacts report could include contacts whose opens were triggered by bots, leading to inaccurate reporting. The query now properly excludes bot interactions, ensuring only genuine user activity is shown.
  • Ticket number: 2398520 | Bot opens are not filtered out in “Not clicked” contacts
    Although bot clicks are filtered out from mailing reports the export of the interactions from a mailing report still contained bot clicks.
  • Ticket number: 2382501 | Wrong form name shown for archived forms
    When a form is archived the webpage editor will show the name of another form.
  • HTML for column spacing disappears
    When 2 columns are added, spacing and toggle the ‘Do not stack’ option the columns spacing HTML is removed.
  • TinyMce editor hiding after changing attributes
    The TinyMCE editor hides when changing attributes. Users must reselect the block to access the editor again. This disrupts the editing process. The TinyMCE editor should remain open when attributes are changed or when switching to mobile view.
  • Icon style resets to default “Color circle”
    When a new message is created and load the template the socials in the footer are reset to the default Icon style “Color circle”.
  • Ticket number: 2371263 | Its possible to add a form feed back element to a section
    It was possible to add a regular element to a form feedback element. This should not be possible.
  • SPML Validator skips attributes with empty string as value
    The SPML validator does checks to make sure that both the attribute name and value are set, however it’s doing it in a way that it skips attributes with an empty string as value when formatting the errors for the error list.
  • Form feedback Q&A is vertical (stacked) instead of horizontal
    The form feedback shows a vertical Q&A (stacked) alignment instead of vertical alignment.
    The question should be positioned on the left and the answer on the right.
  • Mobile column spacing isn’t working
    When having products shown in mobile view the column spacing is not applying between the products.
  • CTRL + A doesn’t work in text elements
    It was not possible to select all text in a text element and place a link on the selected text.
