Journeys
(Availability date: Sept 10) Retry capability - Retries are now applied by default on audience-triggered journeys (starting with a Read Audience or a Business Event) while retrieving the export job. If an error occurs during the export job creation, retries will be made every 10mn, for 1 hour max. After that, we will consider it as a failure. Those types of journeys can therefore be executed up to 1 hour after the scheduled time. Learn more

New capabilities 8-features
This release brings the new capabilities detailed below.
The current channel surface capabilities have been enhanced for a consistent approach across all channels. You can now define, manage, and reuse these configurations for any of your channels, including Web, In-app messaging, or Code-based experience.
- Channel surfaces are now renamed to Channel configurations
- You can attach one or multiple marketing actions to enforce consent and data governance policies
- Object level access control (OLAC) is now available for each channel configuration, allowing you to decide which of your users are allowed to create or use specific configurations
- For some channels, you can create channel configurations that target multiple platforms. An example here would be an In-app messaging channel configuration that can target a web page, an iOS app and an Android app.

Fragment global variables enhance the existing fragment functionality to improve efficiency for content reusability & scripting use cases. Fragments can now use input variables and create output variables usable in campaign and journey content.

You can use those variables to personalize your messages content and parameters, in your campaigns and journeys.
