Further improved file upload
What changed: The file upload in Spotler Mail+ has been further improved. The upload itself was already renewed in the previous release. In this release, the display of files after adding them has mainly been adjusted.
Uploaded files are now displayed more clearly per file, including file name, file size, upload status, progress, and the option to delete a file. Failed uploads are also easier to recognize.
Who is this relevant for: This change is relevant for users who upload images or documents in the Images and Documents modules, or through upload popups in the email editor.
Why is this important: The adjusted display makes it easier to check whether files have been added correctly. You can see faster which files were uploaded successfully and which files need attention.
Action: No action is needed. The improved file upload is automatically available in places where you can upload files.
Flexible currency notation
What changed: Spotler Mail+ now includes a setting that lets you define the notation for currency. You can configure which separators are used for thousands and decimals.
Who is this relevant for: This change is relevant for users who use currency fields and need a specific account notation.
Where can you find this setting: You can find the setting via Settings > Settings > Preferences > Currency settings.
Why is this important: Currency values are displayed more consistently according to the notation that matches the account.
Audience creation API
What changed: The audience creation API now immediately returns the UUID of the dynamic list that is created.
Who is this relevant for: This change is relevant for developers who use the REST API to create audiences.
Why is this important: An automated workflow can continue with exporting contacts immediately after creating an audience, without an extra lookup step.
