WhatsApp and SMS Liquid properties in Canvas flow
General availability
We added support for WhatsApp and SMS Liquid properties in Canvas flow. Now, when an Action Path step contains a “Sent an SMS Inbound Message” or “Sent a WhatsApp Inbound Message” trigger, the subsequent Canvas steps can include an SMS or WhatsApp Liquid property. This mirrors how event properties work in Canvas Flow. This way you can leverage your messages to save and reference first-party data on user profiles and conversational messaging.

Personalized Paths in Canvases let you personalize any point of a Canvas journey for individual users based on conversion likelihood. Now, Personalized Paths are available for recurring Canvases. Learn more about Personalized Variants.

Working with segments? Here are some troubleshooting steps and considerations to keep in mind.

Robust channels
SMS geographic permissions
Early access
SMS geographic permissions enhance security and protect against fraudulent SMS traffic by enforcing controls on the countries to which you can send SMS messages. Admins can now specify an allowlist of countries to make sure that SMS messages are only sent to approved regions. For more information, see SMS Geographic Permissions.
