February 2022

Update on SMC Versioning

Beginning with this release of Selligent Marketing Cloud we will no longer be assigning release names and will instead identify releases solely by their product release version number. This is being done to better align the release documentation and communications with the version numbering specified in the product's internal About dialog.
For example, the January 2022 release was identified by the release name "Athabasca" in documentation, but was identified as Version 5.9 in the product. Site version numbering and documentation will match the Selligent Marketing Cloud release version.
Campaign releases will be using their own version numbering.

Documentation updates

Knowing how the tools work and using them to set up specific use cases are two different things. In an effort to guide users through the most common used scenarios, we have added following end-to-end examples:

  • SMC: Optout journey explaining how to create a journey once and use it for all types of communication. Special attention was given to passing on parameters throughout the journey.
  • Site: A Discovery box Site use case explaining how to persuade website visitors to purchase through online website offers and emails for identified visitors.

More examples to be expected in the upcoming releases. Stay tuned!

Also, look out for a new courses on Content Blocks! The first provides an introduction to the feature with a simple formatted text example, while the second goes deeper into the use of images, tracked links, and the use of SG Tags to define basic variables.

Update on Site Cookies

Google recently announced to phase out third party cookies on chrome browsers by 2022 (no exact date has been announced). So what does this mean for Site users?

Selligent Site only uses third party cookies to track anonymous profiles over different domains or when a visitor deletes the first party cookie from his browser. When third party cookies are no longer available, tracking of anonymous users will only be possible on a single domain. Cross domain tracking for universes with multiple domains will no longer be possible. There is however no impact on tracking of known contacts over multiple domains as identification of a know contact is done in a different way. (Selligent identification and customer identification)

As many of our customers have question regarding this, we have updated the related documentation in an effort to keep everyone up to date. All information is now grouped in 1 topic: Cookies in Site

This topic explains

  • How Site uses cookies
  • an overview of cookies used by Site
  • What is the difference between first party and third party cookies
  • what happens when the visitor deletes first party cookies
  • details on Google's SameSite Cookies
  • details on the impact of the third party cookie on Site tracking

New courses and learning material

In this release, we have new video courses and updates.

  • The Site course Retargeting Abandoned Carts, teaches how to configure an abandoned cart, create a pop-up offer and create the Custom Journey with the associated email retargeting communication in Marketing.
  • For Marketing Cloud users, we have updated the Creating a Transactional Journey course to reflect updates to the Admin Config section of the platform.
  • Finally, Custom Journey Basics is a new course that provides an introduction to the custom journey creation process and interface.

SMC images folder relocation

Beginning with the Satsuma-release, new URLs will be generated for all SMC image references. The previously generated URLs will continue to function normally until further notice. We will provide a more detailed plan shortly.

  • Previous image URLs: #client#.slgnt.eu/portal/resourcehandler/#organisation-guid#/resource/#image_name# (Example: https://paranasolution.selligent.com/portal/resourcehandler/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/resource/footer1.png)
  • New image URL:
    • SMC Global folder: #client#.slgnt.eu/images/SMC/#image-name# (Example: https://paranasolution.selligent.com/images/smc/footer1.png)
    • SMC Organization subfolder: #client#.slgnt.eu/images/SMC/.org/#organisation-guid#/#image-name# (Example: https://paranasolution.selligent.com/images/smc/.org/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/footer1.png)

STO Enhancements

Customers using STO will experience considerable improvements in this release, both with respect to the user-interface and STO algorithm. Changes in the UI will be visible immediately after the release. The algorithmic enhancements will take place close to the release itself, and will lead to extra STO profiles, more accurate send-hours and fallback times for non-engaged customers.

Note: Clients using the previous STO version, will be gradually upgraded to the new version close to the release date. During the time frame between the SMC release and the STO upgrade, messages will continue to be sent out randomly for consumers without an STO profile. Once the upgrade is complete, a fallback STO time is available and visible from the journey properties related to STO. From then on, consumers with no STO profile will be sent messages at the fallback STO time.

For a detailed overview of these changes, check the SMC Satsuma Release document, accompanied with a .
