The existing Amazon Ads connector in the catalog has been renamed to (Legacy) Amazon Ads. If you have an existing legacy connection, it continues to function without any required changes.

Fixes and improvements

Fix
Description
New TS column for Snowflake Streaming destinations
The Snowflake Streaming destination now includes a TS timestamp column in the shared table, showing when each row was last updated. This update is rolling out through the end of April.
Monitoring support for Custom Personalization destinations
The dataflow runs page now shows metrics for Custom Personalization destinations. Previously, these metrics were not available for this destination type. Use them to verify that audiences are activating as expected and to diagnose issues.

Profile counts in the activation workflow review step
The review step of the activation workflow now shows profile counts for audiences that are already activated. Profile counts are also shown for streaming destinations, not just batch destinations.
Profile counts displayed in the review step of the activation workflow for already-activated and streaming audiences. {modal="regular"}
Pinterest token expiry visibility
The Pinterest destination now displays the token expiration date so you can see when re-authentication is needed. Pinterest tokens expire every 30 days. When a token expires, data exports stop working. To avoid interruptions, refresh your authentication credentials before the token expires.
Export file now disabled for expired schedules
When your audience schedule is expired, Export file now is now disabled before you attempt to use it, and a tooltip explains why. Previously, selecting the action would result in an error.
The Export file now action disabled with a tooltip explaining why the action is unavailable. {modal="regular"}
Column visibility fix in activation workflow
Fixed an issue where changing visible columns in one table incorrectly affected other tables in the activation workflow.

Experience Data Model (XDM) xdm

XDM is an open-source specification that provides common structures and definitions (schemas) for data that is brought into Experience Platform. By adhering to XDM standards, all customer experience data can be incorporated into a common representation to deliver insights in a faster, more integrated way. You can gain valuable insights from customer actions, define customer audiences through segments, and use customer attributes for personalization purposes.

Feature
Description
Field Group Usage And Discovery Enhancements
View which schemas use a field group and access metadata such as compatible classes, required attributes, and governance labels directly in the UI. You can also filter field groups by class compatibility and industry tags to more efficiently discover relevant resources and assess impact before making changes. See the Explore field groups guide for more details.

For more information, read the XDM overview.

Query Service query-service

Use Query Service to query data in Adobe Experience Platform Data Lake with standard SQL. Join any datasets from the Data Lake and capture query results as a new dataset for use in reporting, Data Science Workspace, or ingestion into Real-Time Customer Profile.

New or updated features

Feature
Description
Query Service Session Management
View and end active Query Service sessions from the Admin tab to monitor usage and free idle session capacity. This helps administrators maintain reliable Data Distiller workflows by reclaiming capacity from inactive sessions. See the Manage Query Service sessions guide for more details.

For more information, read the Query Service overview.

Real-Time CDP rtcdp

Real-Time CDP provides unified, actionable customer profiles by ingesting, processing, and activating data across multiple channels in real time. With Real-Time CDP, organizations can connect existing data sources, build and activate rich audiences, and ensure privacy-compliant activation across destinations, all from within Experience Platform. This enables marketers, analysts, and IT teams to deliver highly personalized, timely experiences for their customers through seamless, cross-channel marketing campaigns.

New or updated features

Feature
Description
Real-Time CDP MCP (Beta)

Use the Real-Time CDP MCP to bring Real-Time CDP into AI agents and MCP-compatible clients, enabling you to interact with Real-Time CDP tools directly through your native LLM experience. By connecting an MCP-compatible client (such as Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or VS Code) to the endpoint provided by your Adobe representative, you can use natural language to inspect audiences, destination configuration, and activation run history, without writing Experience Platform REST API calls or navigating multiple UI workflows. After completing a browser-based Adobe sign-in, you will have read-only access to tools including:

  • Search Existing Audiences
  • Preview Audience Membership
  • List Destination Types
  • List Configured Accounts
  • List Configured Destinations
  • List Source Connections
  • List Target Connections
  • Inspect Activation Runs

. Each request requires imsOrgId and sandboxName parameters to ensure actions are scoped to your organization and sandbox. Note: Write operations are not supported in this Beta release.

For more information, read the Real-Time CDP overview.

Sandboxes sandboxes

Adobe Experience Platform is built to enrich digital experience applications on a global scale. Companies often run multiple digital experience applications in parallel and need to cater to the development, testing, and deployment of these applications while ensuring operational compliance.

New or updated features

Feature
Description
Express Copy
Use Express Copy to copy objects to a target sandbox in a single action from the Sandbox Tooling UI. Dependent objects are detected automatically and are created in the target sandbox or reused when they already exist.

For more information, read the sandboxes overview.

Sources sources

Experience Platform provides a RESTful API and an interactive UI that lets you set up source connections for various data providers with ease. These source connections allow you to authenticate and connect to external storage systems and CRM services, set times for ingestion runs, and manage data ingestion throughput.

New or updated sources

Source
Description
[Beta]{class="badge informative"} Talon.One
The Talon.One source for Experience Platform is now available in both batch and streaming modes. Use the Talon.One Batch Source Connector to periodically ingest closed sessions and historical loyalty transactions, and the Talon.One Streaming Events source to bring Talon.One events into Experience Platform in near real-time. Together, they make it easier to load and activate Talon.One loyalty data across Real-Time CDP, Adobe Journey Optimizer, and Offer Decisioning.
Row-level filtering support for Salesforce using SOQL

You can now apply Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) filters directly in Salesforce source connections, allowing you to restrict row-level data before it is ingested into Experience Platform. Use the capability to:

  • Define SOQL where-clause style conditions on Salesforce objects (for example, only leads with Email != null or opportunities in specific stages)
  • Limit ingestion to only the rows that meet your criteria, reducing unnecessary data movement, storage, and downstream processing
  • Align Experience Platform ingestion more closely with your CRM data access and compliance rules, by controlling which records are brought into Experience Platform at the source

. For more information, read the guide on row-level filtering for sources.
