Scheduled maintenance and upgrade for dotMailer on 19th February 2014 includes the following upgrades and changes:
Navigation update
You'll notice a new item in the navigation under Email. The Automation section now includes:
- Triggers
- Triggered campaign content
- Default auto responders
For those enrolled in the beta program for it, it will also include our new automation interface to build marketing automation programs. (If you want a preview of this, come see us at Marketing Sherpa this week or TFM&A next week).
We have also cleaned up which menu item is highlighted when you are in various parts of the application.
External Dynamic Content optimisation
We have made a number of improvements to the performance of External Dynamic Content.
This includes changes to the way we handle links in external dynamic content.

- When selecting 'Last Month' in some of our date range pickers, it could include all days but the last one of the month (oops!) this has now been fixed

- Some items have been updated in line with our style guide
