Our team has added a lot of functionality in helping users build out emails seamlessly. Our customers love different features that we have built for email editors and have been asking to provide similar editing capabilities for other mobile channels. As we look towards next year, the team is well positioned to invest in building long desired customer features for other devices ranging from new editor blocks, a personalization builder, in canvas editing, and integrating with AI to generate the content.
