What’s New From Iterable: July 2026Our July Product Spotlight focused on helping marketers deliver more relevant customer experiences with less technical and operational complexity. New Handlebars CapabilitiesIterable now supports three new Handlebars features to help teams manage more complex personalization use cases.The new sortBy and groupBy helpers give you more control over how complex arrays are displayed. You can use them to sort arrays by one or more fields, group items that share the same field values, and display each group with its own item count. The new sentAt email merge tag displays a message’s original send time in its web version instead of the time the page is rendered.These updates make it easier to organize dynamic data and build more flexible, personalized message experiences.

July’s Product Spotlight  Marketing moves fast, and customers expect every interaction to be relevant.Most teams know the experiences they want to create. The challenge is acting on customer signals quickly enough.Too often, marketers are slowed down by disconnected systems, stale data, or manual work that gets in the way of execution.July’s product spotlight focuses on helping teams move faster by turning live customer signals into action and making experimentation easier to scale.This spotlight includes:Journeys Live Data: Make journey decisions using live data Templates as Variants: Launch experiments without rebuilding content Nova Sources & Footnotes: Better visibility into how Nova generates responses Journeys Live Data 🔄Make journey decisions with what's true right now Journeys Live DataJourneys Live Data allows marketers to access live data directly within Journeys.Instead of relying on profile attributes that may be outdated, journeys can retrieve information at the exact moment a decision needs to be made.This makes it possible to personalize experiences and guide journey decisions using information that's current, not hours or days old. Where This HelpsMany teams already have the data they need.The challenge is getting access to it when it matters.Journeys Live Data helps teams respond to what's true right now instead of relying on batch updates, stale profile data, or custom workarounds.Common examples include:Checking inventory before sending a promotion Validating loyalty or offer eligibility Suppressing a reminder after a customer has already completed an action Making journey decisions based on real-time business dataStart HereTake a look at your existing journeys and ask:Are customers receiving messages after they've already completed the action? Are promotions being sent without checking inventory availability? Are eligibility decisions based on data that may already be outdated? Is there information your team checks manually before making a journey decision?Those are often strong candidates for live data.Templates as Variants 🧪Launch experiments without rebuilding content Templates as Variants Templates as variants allow marketers to use existing templates as experiment variants.Instead of recreating content that's already been reviewed, approved, translated, and ready to go, teams can select existing templates and use them directly within experiments. Where This HelpsMany teams spend more time preparing experiments than running them.This is especially true for organizations managing multiple markets, languages, or large content libraries.Templates as Variants helps reduce duplicate work and makes it easier to scale experimentation across campaigns.Start HereThink about your current testing process:Are you rebuilding content that already exists just to launch an experiment? Are translated templates being recreated for testing? Does experiment setup take longer than you'd like? Are approved assets sitting unused because recreating them isn't worth the effort?If so, Templates as Variants may help streamline that workflow. Nova Sources & Footnotes 📚Better visibility into AI-generated responses What's NewNova now includes Sources & Footnotes, giving marketers more visibility into how responses are generated.This helps teams better understand where information comes from and provides additional confidence when using Nova across reporting, campaign planning, and optimization workflows.Where This HelpsAs teams rely more on AI to support decision-making, understanding the source behind a recommendation becomes increasingly important.Sources & Footnotes make it easier to validate information, investigate findings, and build trust in AI-assisted workflows. What to Take Away 🎯This month's updates focus on helping marketers respond faster and execute with greater confidence.With Journeys Live Data, teams can make journey decisions using live business data. With Templates as Variants, teams can launch experiments faster by building on work that's already been done. With Nova Sources & Footnotes, teams gain greater visibility into AI-generated responses.The result is more relevant customer experiences, faster experimentation, and fewer barriers between customer signals and action. 🔖 Head over to our blog post to learn more about July’s Product Spotlight. 

Now that Nova Agent is available to eligible Iterable customers, many teams are asking the same question: What's the best first use case to try? Nova Agent helps you move from an idea to execution faster by supporting campaign creation, performance analysis, experimentation, personalization, and pre-send reviews directly within Iterable. It reduces manual setup and gives you a faster starting point while keeping you in control of the final output. Start with the fundamentalsBefore jumping into advanced workflows, we recommend completing the Nova Agent Academy course. It covers key capabilities, example use cases, and hands-on exercises to help you get started.After completing the course, try Nova Agent with a task you already do every week:Analyze campaign performance without digging through multiple reports Generate and refine personalization logic for messages Create test variants for experiments Build a campaign or journey from a marketing objective Review campaigns before launch to catch potential issues  Try This TodayOpen Nova Agent and ask:"Why did this campaign perform better than the last one?"  "Create 5 subject line variations for this audience." "Help me build a welcome journey for new subscribers." "Review this campaign and identify potential issues before launch." "Generate personalization logic for customers who purchased in the last 30 days."Already using Nova Agent? What's been the most useful use case you've found so far?

What’s New From Iterable: June 2026The conversation in our June Product Spotlight wasn't about a single new feature. It was about how teams are starting to put recent releases into practice.Since the Spring Product Release, we've seen customers explore new ways to automate workflows, connect data sources, and scale personalization using capabilities like Nova Agent, Data Sync, AI Decisioning, MCP Server, and Creative Library. Default Quiet Hours for New SMS CampaignsTo help prevent accidental overnight sends, Quiet Hours are now enabled by default for all new SMS campaigns.By default, SMS sends are paused from 8:00 PM to 9:00 AM, Monday through Sunday, using each recipient's local time when available. This applies to both marketing and transactional SMS campaigns. For time-sensitive transactional messages that need to send immediately after an event, Quiet Hours can be turned off on a campaign-by-campaign basis.This update helps teams build safer SMS workflows by default while supporting compliance and customer experience best practices.

June’s Product Spotlight Back in April, we introduced Nova Agent and a new way to work inside Iterable.Since then, customers have been putting Nova into real workflows, building campaigns faster, uncovering insights in seconds, scaling personalization, and reducing time spent on manual tasks.This month, we're highlighting how teams are using Nova today, along with a few product updates that make the experience even better.If you've ever wished you could:Launch campaigns faster Spend less time digging through reports Personalize without writing complex logic Catch issues before hitting send Run more experiments without adding more work...this spotlight is for you. Nova Agent 🚀Turn marketing goals into executable workflows What Teams Are DoingCustomers are using Nova Agent to reduce manual campaign setup and move from marketing goals to executable workflows in minutes.Customer SpotlightBabylist has reclaimed 50% of CRM bandwidth by offloading campaign setup and QA to AI agents. "Iterable’s Nova intelligence has fundamentally shifted our role from campaign manufacturers to strategic architects."- Natasha Flynn, Senior Manager of CRM, Babylist Read Babylist Case Study Start HereAsk Nova Agent:Help me build a win-back campaign for inactive users.

Note: You may still see "Optimization" referenced in parts of Iterable today. For consistency, with the March spotlight and related content, we'll use "Decisioning" throughout this post. In March, we introduced Nova Decisioning, including Channel Decisioning, Send-Time Decisioning, and Frequency Decisioning, to help teams move from automated execution to intelligent engagement. Did you miss it? Check out the March Product Spotlight. Over the past few weeks, we've been listening to how teams are evaluating these capabilities, testing them in real workflows, and asking some really thoughtful questions along the way.  One Theme Kept Emerging 👀  As we listened to customers over the past few weeks, one theme kept surfacing:Teams are evaluating more than performance outcomes. They're also looking for visibility, confidence, and control as they adopt decisioning capabilities.Whether the conversation was about channel selection, send timing, or communication frequency, teams consistently wanted to understand how decisions are made and how those decisions impact results.That shift feels especially important as marketers move from manual optimization toward AI-powered decisioning. Channel Decisioning 📱 Choosing a channel is easy. Choosing the best channel for every customer is where things get interesting. What teams are learningOne recurring theme we're hearing is that teams want greater confidence and visibility as they evaluate Channel Decisioning.Some teams are evaluating how Channel Decisioning handles customer preferences, opt-outs, and fallback behavior before expanding usage more broadly. We're hearing teams explore how to interpret decisioning outcomes and measure the impact of channel selection. Several teams are exploring where Channel Decisioning can reduce manual routing logic while still maintaining control over the customer experience. 💡 Takeaway: Teams are looking for confidence and transparency before scaling usage across more journeys. Where we're seeing it usedDetermining whether email, SMS, or push is the better channel for a given customer Reducing manual routing logic across journeys Creating fallback paths when customers are eligible for multiple channels  Questions to consider 🤔 How much manual channel routing and fallback logic are you maintaining today? Are there journeys where customers are eligible for multiple channels, such as email, SMS, or push? Are there journeys where you're manually deciding whether a customer should receive an email, SMS, or push notification?  Send-Time Decisioning ⏰ If you've ever manually tested send times, watched performance, and adjusted schedules by hand... this one is for you. What teams are learningSeveral teams are evaluating how Send-Time Decisioning fits into existing optimization and campaign planning workflows. Several teams already have manual optimization processes in place and are evaluating where Send-Time Decisioning can reduce ongoing effort. We're hearing questions about how optimized send times fit alongside launches, recommendation programs, hold periods, and other business timing requirements. Teams are using reporting and insights to better understand optimization outcomes and measure impact over time. 💡 Takeaway: The biggest consideration isn't timing. It's balancing optimization with business timing requirements. Where we're seeing it used Recurring recommendation and lifecycle programs Campaigns where send timing can influence engagement Replacing manual testing and optimization workflows Questions to consider 🤔  Which campaigns currently require manual send-time testing or ongoing optimization? Are there recurring programs where timing can meaningfully impact engagement or conversion? Are there campaigns where timing matters, but you're still relying on fixed send schedules?  Frequency Decisioning 🔁The goal isn't to send fewer messages. It's to send the right amount. What teams are learningTeams are exploring how Frequency Decisioning can help balance engagement opportunities with customer experience.We're hearing teams think about Frequency Decisioning less as a volume reduction tool and more as a way to find the right communication threshold for each customer. Several teams are evaluating how different channels and message types should be managed independently rather than through a single communication cap. Teams are exploring how Frequency Decisioning can help reduce fatigue and unsubscribes while still preserving engagement opportunities. 💡 Takeaway: The goal isn't fewer messages. It's finding the right communication threshold for each customer. Where we're seeing it used Reducing customer fatigue and unsubscribes Creating guardrails around communication volume Managing different message types like promotional, lifecycle, survey, and product communications   Questions to consider 🤔  Are your current frequency caps applied broadly, or do they vary by channel and message type? Do different message types require different communication thresholds? Where are you seeing signs of fatigue, disengagement, or unsubscribes today?    Questions We Keep Hearing 🤔How much visibility do I get into decisioning? One recurring theme across Channel, Send-Time, and Frequency Decisioning is that visibility matters as much as performance.Teams want confidence in how decisions are made and how those decisions impact results. Features like Send-Time Optimization Insights and Frequency Optimization Insights can help teams evaluate outcomes.   Should I start with all three decisioning capabilities?Most teams are beginning with a specific use case or journey before expanding more broadly. Starting with an existing optimization challenge often creates the clearest path to learning.   Does decisioning replace existing strategy?No.Teams are primarily evaluating decisioning as a way to automate manual optimization and operational decision-making while maintaining control over the customer experience.Marketers still define the guardrails, priorities, and business rules, while decisioning helps identify the best path within those boundaries. What This Signals 🔎If we zoom out, the conversation is about more than AI.It's about helping marketers spend less time managing rules and more time creating great customer experiences.Across all three capabilities, a few themes continue to emerge:Teams are looking to reduce manual optimization and rule management Visibility, trust, and measurable outcomes all play an important role in adoption. Personalization is expanding beyond content into channel, timing, and frequency decisions Decisioning is helping teams scale engagement strategies without adding operational complexityAs teams continue exploring these capabilities, we're seeing a broader shift toward more individualized customer experiences powered by smarter decision-making.We’ll continue surfacing patterns and conversations in Plaza as teams implement Iterable features.

Back in February, we released Global Suppression List, Creative Library, and Data Sync. If you missed it, explore the February Product Spotlight. Over the past month, teams have started putting these into practice, and we’re already seeing patterns take shape in real workflows. These features are enabling more dynamic messaging by centralizing content and data, allowing for a more comprehensive view of customers by connecting Iterable data with warehouse systems, and simplifying suppression and governance as programs expand across campaigns and projects. With that, a few common questions and use cases have come up along the way.Here’s what we’re seeing so far and how to help you navigate it.  Global Suppression List What we’re seeing:Teams are quickly adopting this for governance and compliance use cases, especially where suppression was previously managed manually.Where questions are coming up:Do I need to add this to journeys, or is it automatic? Global Suppression List is enforced at the project level and applies automatically to new campaigns and journeys. For existing campaigns and journeys, you’ll need to manually enable it. Can suppression be applied by channel? Suppression is applied globally across the project. Channel-specific control would still require additional segmentation or logic. What happens if users re-enter Iterable after being suppressed? If a user is included in the Global Suppression List, they will continue to be excluded from messaging even if they re-enter your project or qualify for campaigns. Do I need to update all my existing journeys? For existing campaigns and journeys, suppression must be enabled manually. Teams with many active journeys may need to plan a phased rollout. Why this matters for you: This removes the need to rebuild suppression logic repeatedly and gives you a more reliable way to protect audiences as your programs scale. Creative Library What we’re seeing:Teams are adjusting from legacy asset workflows to a more centralized way of managing creative.Where questions are coming up:How do I know what’s been migrated or updated? Supported assets and folders migrate automatically, and your existing image links continue to work. The platform maps legacy references to new paths in the background, so you don’t need to worry about broken links. Why do I need to upload and link assets now? Creative Library centralizes asset management within Iterable, improving reuse, consistency, and long-term stability across campaigns. Can I still use PDFs in my messages? Yes. PDFs can be uploaded to Creative Library and referenced via a hosted URL. This replaces the previous file manager workflow and ensures assets are centrally managed and reusable. Why this matters for you:Once set up, this reduces time spent searching for assets and helps keep every message aligned and on-brand. Data Sync  What we’re seeing:Teams are evaluating how Data Sync fits into their warehouse and analytics workflows, especially as they look to reduce reliance on custom pipelines. Where questions are coming up:If I don’t use Data Sync, can I still access data? Yes. Existing APIs and webhooks remain available. Data Sync provides a managed way to deliver data into your warehouse for analysis. What destinations are supported? Data Sync supports destinations including BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, and Amazon S3. For Snowflake users, Snowflake Data Share is the recommended approach. Is this real-time? No. Data Sync is designed for scheduled batch delivery, not real-time workflows. Why this matters for you: This creates a more dependable foundation for reporting, modeling, and connecting engagement data to business outcomes. What This SignalsAcross all three features, you’re likely seeing the same shift:It’s less about what the feature does and more about how it fits into your existing workflows.There’s also a clear move toward:Built-in governance, reducing reliance on manual workarounds More centralized systems, replacing fragmented tools and processes More reliable data foundations to support reporting and decision-makingWe’ll continue surfacing patterns and conversations in the Plaza as teams implement Iterable features.

Automation got you here. But it doesn’t answer the hardest questions you face every day:Should this go out via email or SMS? Is now the right moment — or the wrong one? Are you helping… or overwhelming?     As channels expand, these decisions only get harder — and static rules or “best practices” can’t keep up.March’s Product SpotlightMarch’s product spotlight introduces a shift from automated execution to intelligent engagement.With Nova Decisioning, Iterable brings AI-powered decisioning directly into your workflows — helping you optimize how, when, and where you engage every customer based on real behavior.Where to engage → Channel Decisioning  When to engage → Send-Time Decisioning  How often to engage → Frequency Decisioning  Plus, a preview of April’s release → Your first look into our biggest release yet 👀 Channel Decisioning 📡Choose the Right Channel, Every Time  Reaching customers isn’t the challenge anymore.Reaching them in the right place is.Channel Decisioning evaluates engagement patterns across channels and selects the one each customer is most likely to respond to, removing the need for rigid channel logic. Why this mattersSending the same message everywhere, or defaulting to a single channel, can dilute your impact and create unnecessary noise. What this unlocks• More intentional channel selection based on behavior, not assumptions• Stronger engagement across email, SMS, push, and beyond• Less duplication across channels• A more cohesive customer experience Send-Time Decisioning ⏱Engage When It Matters Most  The “best time to send” isn’t a best practice — it’s personal.Send-Time Decisioning determines when each customer is most likely to engage and schedules delivery accordingly, ensuring messages arrive when they’re most relevant. Why this mattersBatch-based timing or fixed schedules fail to account for individual habits, leading to lower visibility and missed engagement windows. What this unlocks• Individually optimized delivery timing• Increased visibility and interaction rates• Better alignment with customer behavior patterns• Performance gains without added complexity Frequency Decisioning ⚖️Find the Right Balance Automatically  More messages does not always mean more impact — you’ve probably felt that. Frequency Decisioning dynamically adjusts how often each customer is contacted, helping you balance engagement with respect for attention.Why this mattersToo many messages can quickly lead to fatigue and unsubscribes. Too few can mean missed opportunities. Managing that balance manually doesn’t scale. What this unlocks• Adaptive messaging cadence tailored to each customer• Reduced fatigue and unsubscribe risk• More efficient use of every touchpoint• Sustainable engagement at scale What to Take Away 🎯This goes beyond optimizing individual campaigns — it’s about changing how you make decisions. With intelligent decisioning built into execution, you can:Move from static rules to adaptive engagement Reduce noise while increasing relevance Make better decisions without increasing operational overheadFrom automation → to intelligence → to continuous optimization. Head over to our blog post to learn more about our March Product Spotlight.April Product Preview: More AI Agents Are Coming 👀We have a big release next month, and here’s a first look at what’s coming next.  If today is about making smarter decisions…tomorrow is about letting the system improve them for you.Optimization shouldn’t rely on manual setup or one-off tests. Coming this April, we’re expanding Iterable’s AI agent ecosystem with new capabilities to help teams move faster and optimize smarter, including Experimentation Agent, designed to automatically generate, test, and optimize campaign variations to improve engagement and conversion.  Be sure to join us at Activate or our Spring Product Launch where you’ll get a first look at the new capabilities we’re introducing, including: AI Agents that turn customer context into action Real-time journey orchestration Faster execution from idea to live, without engineering dependency Build in governance and compliance controls Unified audience activation across every channel  Activate Summit 2026📅 April 21-23, 2026🕚 9:00 am (PDT) 📍 Los Angeles, CA   What’s New at Iterable: Spring Product Launch 2026📅 April 29, 2026🕚 11:00 am (PDT) / 2:00 pm (EDT) / 7:00 pm (BST)💻  Virtual Event

What’s New From Iterable: February 2026It was a big month across the platform!In addition to the major launches featured in our February Product Spotlight, we shipped a broad set of enhancements — from data governance and segmentation improvements to deeper analytics insights and workflow refinements.February focused on strengthening governance, expanding analytics visibility, and improving day-to-day workflow efficiency. Stronger Data Governance and Audience ControlSeveral updates this month improve how teams manage data, segmentation, and compliance at scale:Iterable Data Sync enables exporting engagement data into cloud storage or your data warehouse for deeper analysis alongside business data. Global Suppression Lists allow you to automatically exclude designated users from all new campaigns and journeys within a project.

Scaling programs shouldn’t mean scaling risk.February’s monthly spotlight is designed to give marketers greater confidence as they grow, with stronger control over execution and clearer insight into performance:Smarter governance → Global Suppression List 🛡 Stronger brand control → Creative Library 🎨 Better data confidence → Data Sync 📊Are you ready to see what’s new and how it helps your team scale with confidence? Global Suppression List 🛡Reach the Right People, Every Time Global Suppression List Accidental sends. Manual suppression logic. Brittle workarounds?Global Suppression List replaces fragile processes with built-in, project-level enforcement - automatically excluding designated users from campaigns and journeys, so the wrong message never reaches the wrong audience.Why this mattersAs programs scale, small mistakes become costly. Governance can’t rely on memory, manual filters, or one-off configurations. It needs consistent, system-level protection.What this unlocks• Automatic, project-wide suppression control• Reduced compliance risk• Elimination of manual workarounds• Confidence that sensitive audiences are always protected Creative Library 🎨On-Brand Execution Without The Slowdown Creative Library If you’ve ever searched five folders, two Slack threads, and a Google Drive just to find “the approved version”… this one’s for you!Creative Library becomes your centralized source of truth for images, PDFs, and videos used across channels, so every message stays on-brand and campaigns move faster. What this unlocks• Secure, structured asset storage in one single place• Faster, more efficient campaign creation• Consistent brand execution across channels• Fewer last minute revisions and off-brand sends Data Sync 📊 Clarity That Drives Confident Decisions Data SyncYour engagement data shouldn’t live in silos — or depend on fragile API pulls.Data Sync reliably copies Iterable data into supported data warehouses so teams can connect engagement to revenue, model outcomes, and measure impact with confidence. What this unlocks• Reliable, centralized delivery of Iterable data to your data warehouse• Deeper performance analysis and stronger ROI modeling• Less engineering time maintaining fragile APIs or manual exports• A scalable foundation for smarter, data-driven decisions Why These Features Matter ❓Together, these updates reinforce three critical capabilities for scaling teams:Governance that ensures the right messages reach the right people  Creative control that protects your brand while speeding execution Data clarity that empowers confidence, informed decisionsLess risk. Less friction. More clarity.🔖  Head over to our blog post for more February release details. If you're evaluating one of these features or already implementing it, share how it’s fitting into your workflows. We’ll surface practical examples and FAQs in follow-up threads. 

January 8, 2026Previously, we announced the enhanced Usage and Billing screen and began rolling it out to some accounts. We listened closely to your feedback, and paused the roll out of this new billing page while we made some final refinements.Today, we’ve added a Custom Date option that allows you to view usage metrics across the exact timeframe that matters most to you. There is one limitation to note: When you view by a custom date range, metrics related to limits don't display.Who can use the new Usage and Billing screen?Accounts that already have access to the new Usage and Billing screen from last year's partial rollout can view metrics using the Custom Date option starting today!We will resume rolling out the new Usage and Billing screen so that all remaining accounts will have access by Friday, January 16, 2026.To learn more about the updated Usage and Billing screen, see Usage and Billing.

We've polished up the templates experience throughout Iterable! This is a design update (templates still work the same way) — we just gave a few screens a fresh coat of paint and made the experience of creating and managing templates more consistent throughout the platform.Here are the screens we updated:Importing email templates Previewing emails on devices Spam reports Template version history Comparing two versions of a template Send Calendar Sent Messages logTo learn more about this update, see Working with Templates.

We’re making subscription event tracking more accurate—and a lot less noisy—for new organizations.Today, Iterable logs a subscribe or unsubscribe system event any time a related profile field is updated. The issue? If the user’s subscription status didn’t actually change, we still logged the event. That meant extra noise without added value.Starting with organizations created on or after December 15, 2025, Iterable will handle these updates more intelligently:If a subscription update doesn’t change a user’s subscription state, Iterable will still process the event (so journeys and webhooks trigger as expected), but won’t store subscription-related system events when no actual subscription changes occur.Ultimately, this change means that:Subscription events are still tracked and processed by Iterable. All subscription events still trigger journeys and webhooks as expected, whether or not the subscription state actually changed. Subscription events are not stored when no actual subscription changes occur. You'll see fewer redundant subscription events in your exports and user profiles.This update applies to new organizations effective today. Existing organizations will receive the same improvement in a future release, with no expected disruption to your existing journeys and webhooks that rely on subscription event triggers or data.To learn more about how subscribe and unsubscribe events are tracked and the full impact of this change, see Subscribe and Unsubscribe Events.

We've added some new API endpoints to get, update, and create embedded message templates. These endpoints enable your dev team to manage embedded message templates directly via API, as well as open possibilities for future integrations and automations.To learn more about these new endpoints, see:GET /api/templates/embedded/get - Get an embedded message template. POST /api/templates/embedded/update - Update an embedded message template. POST /api/templates/embedded/upsert - Create or update an embedded message template.

Get ready for a new home for your creative assets! Creative Library is a dedicated space to upload, store, and manage all the images you use in your Iterable templates and campaigns. This new feature provides a seamless, unified image uploading and management experience to help your team build campaigns faster and more easily than ever before.Here's what's new:A central image hub — View and manage all your uploaded images in one place. Seamless uploading — Easily upload files with your computer's file manager or by dropping images directly into the upload window. Get organized — Create folders to group images by campaign, channel, team, or however you work best. Search and filter — Use the new search bar and filters to quickly find what you’re looking for. Metadata controls — Easily rename images and add alt text without leaving the image library.As part of the new Creative Library rollout, any images your project currently stores in the file manager of the Drag and Drop template editor will be migrated to the new Creative Library. (This does not affect any existing templates or campaigns.)A few notes about the new Creative Library:Creative Library supports the following file types: JPEG (.jpeg, .jpg), PNG (.png), GIF (.gif), and WebP (.webp). Additional file types like PDF (.pdf) and videos (.mp4) are currently unsupported, but will be added in a future release. Creative Library does not support image cropping after uploading — it's recommended to crop and edit images as needed before uploading them to Creative Library.To learn more about this update and get started, see Creative Library.

November 6, 2025We’re enhancing Quiet Hours for SMS campaigns to make them more accurate and adaptive to each user’s local time zone. This update will be available starting Monday, November 10, 2025.With this update, the Overwrite IP field project setting now includes an option to capture a user’s IP address when they click a tracked shortlink in an SMS message. When this option is enabled alongside Overwrite location fields, Iterable can use the IP from the click event to infer the user’s time zone and save it to the user's profile.This allows Quiet Hours to automatically adjust to each user’s real-world location, pausing SMS sends only during their local quiet period. No more static send windows or manual adjustments—just smarter, real-time personalization that respects each customer’s moment.To learn more, see:Quiet Hours - Capturing the user's time zone Automatically populating IP and geolocation fields

November 6, 2025We've made some changes to the Usage and Billing screen that make it easier to review your organization's contract limits and usage metrics for each billing period. These changes help you gauge your usage, project future volume, and avoid unexpected overages.Changes to the Usage and Billing screen include:A new Billing Period dropdown to select your account's current and previous billing periods in order to view metrics based on actual billing dates. The page now displays your organization's contract limits and progress bars that visualize your usage. A new CSV export with detailed Global SMS usage metrics for your organization and each project.To learn more about the updated Usage and Billing screen, see Usage and Billing.TIPTo learn more about the differences between the new Usage and Billing screen and other Iterable metrics (such as Campaign Analytics, Messaging Insights, and Data Schema Management counts), see Understanding Usage and Billing Metrics.

November 3, 2025We've added an event table for Unknown User Activation and related fields to the Iterable Snowflake Data Share. For details, see Snowflake + Iterable Integration.

October 29, 2025As part of Iterable’s commitment to helping you stay SMS compliant, we’ve added a new feature that enables you to detect known litigators in your Iterable lists and prevent them from receiving the SMS campaigns you send with Iterable. For more information, see SMS Compliance Known Litigator Detection.
