Send an appointment as an attachment to the communication
To insert an appointment type attachment into a communication, you no longer need to first create the appointment from the media list, you can instead create it directly from the "Attachments" tab of the draft setup. Here you will be prompted for the attachment creation method where you can create an appointment in .ics format.
The contacts will see an attachment in their email client with the name you chose for the appointment and the extension .ics. By clicking it, the recipient will be able to add the appointment to their calendar.
New options for the REST web service
Attachments also via API: It is now possible to send transactional communications with attachments. In the platform API documentation you can find the specifications for the simplemessages/message endpoint and an example of how to use the attachments parameter, in the section "Send an email message with contact data".
Support for data tables: It is now possible to perform select, insert, update and upsert on user entities (data tables). You can find the documentation on the "Entities" page of the REST API.
Fast update for scheduled tasks
In the "Edit contacts" scheduled task, on the "Contact fields" page, you can now use the "Use fast update mode" option.
The option is the same as in the contact list fields edit batch operation. The edit operation is faster but the last modification date of the contacts will not be updated. Also, this option, cannot be used with contact fields that are linked to input nodes of an automated flow.
In the task log detail report, you can check if an update was performed in the fast mode.
