Publish | Ability to Highlight Non-Compliant Words When They Are Typed

You may want non-compliant words highlighted while creating posts, rather than check it once it is published/submitted for approval. Sprinklr provides the ability to highlight if the content includes any word from a predeveloped keyword list when they are typed out. This will increase efficiency by saving time, make the review process a lot faster, and increase flexibility when it comes to the compliant or non-compliant vocabulary, as you can create your own list of words.

Engagement Dashboards | Visual Identifier for Video Thumbnail & SRT File Name in Third Pane, Message Cell & Approval Email

Channels

LinkedIn | Migration to a New Geo Data Source

LinkedIn migrated to the new Bing Geo Typeahead API to retrieve corresponding locations for organic posts. If you have triaged LinkedIn posts using rules with the Geo Target Country filter, you will need to update rules as this field will be deprecated for new locations as part of the migration. Additionally, the existing rules will continue to work for existing targeted audiences as we have defined country mapping based on regions that have been used so far. However, if there are any new regions used in a post for which mapping is not available, it will not get triaged. We recommend that you update your workflows to remove dependency on Geo-Target Country, as the condition will be deprecated from 1 Nov 2021.
