HoodEngage Updates: Campaign Priority Controls & Studio Editor Improvements

March 15, 2026

This release introduces campaign priority controls for better execution management, along with improvements to the Studio drag-and-drop editor for Push and SMS messaging. Several usability improvements also improve filtering behavior and table consistency across the platform.

Features

• Campaign Priority Controls

  Campaigns can now be assigned a priority level, giving teams greater control over execution order when multiple campaigns are triggered at the same time.

  Available priority levels:

  • Lowest (default)
  • Low
  • Medium
  • High
  • Highest

  Campaigns with higher priority are processed first, helping ensure that important campaigns are executed quickly and predictably during periods of high platform activity.

• Studio Push Editor Improvements

  The Studio drag-and-drop editor for Push messaging now provides a more consistent editing experience across operating systems.

  Improvements include:

  • Clearer settings-driven configuration for push messages
  • Dynamic preview behavior depending on the selected platform
  • Inline preview editing that automatically updates message settings
  • Automatic enforcement of platform-specific layout constraints

  These improvements ensure push templates behave consistently across devices while keeping the editing workflow intuitive.

• Studio SMS Canvas Redesign

  The SMS experience inside the Studio editor has been redesigned to provide a cleaner and more flexible message editing workflow.

  Improvements include:

  • Message editing moved to the right-side properties panel
  • Live preview compilation
  • Improved support for macros, emojis, and links
  • Built-in character counter
  • Optional Generate Short URL switch
  • Updated canvas layout for easier message configuration

• Reset Filters & Consistent “Create time” Naming Across Tables

  Tables across Hood, Core, and AdEx now include a Reset filters control that instantly restores the default dataset view.

  Additional improvements include:

  • Standardized naming for creation date fields
  • Consistent use of Create time across filters and table columns

  These changes improve clarity and make table filtering more predictable across the platform.

Bug Fixes

• Table filters visibility issue resolved

  Fixed an issue where filters rendered inside the table header could be overridden by the first-view layout, preventing users from applying filters properly. Filters are now consistently visible and accessible above the table.

• Fixed incorrect macro values in Automation actions
  Resolved an issue where macros inserted in Automation actions were using incorrect values (e.g. user_id instead of event.user_id), causing unexpected behavior during execution.

• Corrected Template Library empty state messaging
  Fixed inconsistent empty state behavior in the Templates Library search. The correct system-level empty state and description are now displayed regardless of search input.
