Throughput improvements

Mobile channel increased throughputs

The newly introduced Push notification service showcases significant improvements in throughput for both Push Android and Push iOS compared to our previous version (v8.4). Users will experience notably enhanced performance with the upgraded service in the latest version (v8.5).

  • Push Notifications (Android): up to 5x faster
  • Push Notifications (iOS): up to 2.2x faster

SMS throughput has undergone substantial enhancements through a series of optimizations, resulting in notable improvements in speed and efficiency for SMS communication. These upgrades have led to increased throughput from the previous version (v8.4) to the latest version (v8.5), encompassing both sending and feedback updates. Users can now experience the benefits of this enhanced SMS service.

  • SMS throughput: up to 5x faster

These max throughput performances have been measured by Adobe testing teams, in lab conditions.

General improvements

  • You can now leverage Adobe Experience Platform Destination connection to sync profile attributes such as opt-out data between Adobe Experience Platform and Campaign v8 database.
  • Delivery preparation has been optimized, across all channels.
  • A new key-based authentication option has been added for the SFTP external account, alongside the existing user/password authentication method. Users can now securely authenticate using a private key, enhancing security and providing an alternative authentication mechanism for SFTP access. Learn more in this section.

Security enhancements

  • With Campaign v8.5.1, the authentication process to Campaign v8 has been improved and secured. Technical operators must now use Adobe Identity Management System (IMS) to connect to Campaign. Learn how to migrate your existing technical account(s) in this technote.
  • Starting the upcoming v8.6, you will no longer be allowed to create operators from Campaign client console. If you are using the login/password native authentication, you must migrate your operators to Adobe Identity Management System (IMS). Learn how to migrate your operators in this technote.
  • Several third-party tools have been updated to optimize security.

Compatibility updates

  • The 32-bit version of the client console is now deprecated. Starting 8.6, the client console will only be available in 64-bits. The upgrade to the 64-bit version of the client console is seamless. For more information on how to upgrade your operating system, refer to this technote.
  • You can now connect your Campaign v8 instance to your Azure Synapse external database. This connection is managed through a new external account. Learn more in Campaign compatibility matrix.
