RPI v7.2 release notes

Overview

Available September 2023

Redpoint Interaction (RPI) v7.2 introduces a minimal number of major enhancements, and a larger number of other changes to the core and connector software.

Major enhancements

This section describes major changes to RPI in version 7.2.

Localized Content

Text and HTML assets now support the provision of multiple, localized versions of their content. 

A new system configuration setting optionally allows for the selection of a value list defining the set of region/language codes to be used to define the supported variants. When creating or editing asset content, separate content can be created for each supported variant.

The region/language code can be selected when previewing localized asset content in the Asset or Offer Designers.

Upon execution of an offer containing localized asset content, RPI determines the recipient's region and ensures they receive correctly-localized content. The same applies when viewing localized content in a realtime context.
