LinkedIn | Support for 3000 Character Limit for Posts
The new character limit for LinkedIn posts is a real game-changer for business owners who want to establish themselves as an authority on LinkedIn to promote their products and services with content marketing. Previously, LinkedIn posts were only allowed to have up to 1,300 characters. Now, this limit has been increased to up to 3,000 characters. That's more than double the original LinkedIn character count. Additionally, we have increased the Character Limit for Posts in Quick Publisher, and Comments & Replies in the Engagement Dashboards.
Google Play Store | Support for Google Play Store Account Addition via Service Accounts
You will now be able to authenticate your Google Play Store account in Sprinklr via Service Accounts. Previously account addition takes place via OAuth process where only a developer email id can only be used to authenticate Play Store Accounts into Sprinklr. Going forward, you will be able to add Google Play store Account via both the methods(OAuth & Service).

We have now revamped the Instagram posting experience on the Web when multiple channels are selected, making it more intuitive. The user will now have a much simpler experience posting without having to go through multiple steps. We will be clubbing Photo and Video posts under a single bucket called Post.

Publish | Ability to Add an Excerpts while Publishing Post to WordPress
You will now be able to add excerpts while publishing a blog post to WordPress. An excerpt is basically a summary of a longer article, often used as a replacement on the blog index and archives pages to avoid needing to display the full content of each post. For example, displaying the full content for 10 posts that are 1,000 words each means that your blog listing pages will contain ~10,000 words, which is an unmanageable wall of text for most users. Excerpts allow you to slim this down by showing short summaries instead of the full text of each post.
Publish | Support to Make Title and Description field Mandatory
