Product Changelog

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: Nested condition deletion was incorrectly deleting parent node instead of the targeted step. Refactored to use unique step IDs for reliable identification.
• Fixed: Inserting a condition in the middle of a workflow caused subsequent nodes to detach. Subsequent steps are now correctly moved to the Yes branch.
• Fixed: Step configuration modal not opening automatically after adding a step to a condition branch. Resolved Vue reactivity timing issue.

Technical Improvements

• Introduced unique step ID system (step_TIMESTAMP) replacing positional array indices
• Enhanced path-based navigation for unlimited nested condition depth
• Improved modal state management with proper timing delays

Improvements

• Optional Signature Validation – Incoming webhook signature validation is now optional. By default, webhooks work without requiring a signature, making it easier to integrate with external services.
• Configurable Signature Header – Added ability to specify custom signature header names (e.g., X-Wordfence-Signature, X-Stripe-Signature) to support different external services that use varying header conventions.

New Features

• Trigger Configuration UI – Added TriggerConfigModal component that allows configuring trigger-specific settings (e.g., selecting which list, tag, or post type the trigger should fire for). The modal fetches options dynamically from API endpoints and displays a summary in the trigger node.
• Improved Edit Step Modal – Redesigned the automation step editor with section headers, sticky footer, and cleaner list selector layout for better user experience.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: External cron endpoint not processing automation queue – The REST API cron endpoint was only processing scheduled campaigns and email queue, but not the automation queue. Now properly calls AutomationEngine::processQueue() and also processes recurring campaigns.

New Features

• Template Selection for Campaigns – Users can now select a saved template when creating or editing a campaign. The template’s subject, preheader, and email content are automatically applied to the campaign.
• wp-config Constants for SES – SES credentials can now be defined in wp-config.php using WP_OUTREACH_SES_ACCESS_KEY, WP_OUTREACH_SES_SECRET_KEY, and WP_OUTREACH_SES_REGION constants for better security and portability.
• License Bypass for Developers – Added WP_OUTREACH_PRO constant and wp_outreach_is_pro filter to bypass license checks for owner/development sites.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed JSON decode error – Resolved TypeError: json_decode(): Argument #1 ($json) must be of type string, array given error that occurred when listing campaigns with recurring configuration.
• Fixed test email double-wrapping – Test emails were being wrapped in the default layout even though campaign content already had its own template. Test emails now correctly skip the wrapper.
• Fixed campaign sent count showing double – Fixed an issue where sending to 119 subscribers would show 238 sent. Log entries are no longer duplicated during the sending process.

We are excited to announce the release of Outreach 2.6.3, which includes important fixes for automation triggers.

What’s New in 2.6.3

Fixed: Automation Triggers Not Firing

The post_published and post_updated automation triggers were not firing when posts or packages were created or updated. This has been fixed with the new ContentTriggerHandler class.

Now, automations configured with these triggers will properly fire for all active subscribers (or those in specific lists) whenever content is published or updated.

Technical Details

• New: ContentTriggerHandler for content-based automation triggers
• Fixed: Automations now properly fire for all active subscribers when posts are published/updated
• Improved: Better separation between post subscription notifications and automation workflows

Update Now

You can update to version 2.6.3 directly from your WordPress dashboard, or download the latest version from your account.
