Your ecommerce platform isn't slow because of traffic. It's slow because of architecture.New

Your ecommerce platform isn't slow because of traffic. It's slow because of architecture.Global ecommerce is heading toward $7.4 trillion by 2026. And the brands eating that market share all have one thing in common: they ditched monolithic platforms years ago.As someone who architects large-scale commerce platforms daily, Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus, headless builds, here's what I'm seeing on the ground:The shift to Composable Commerce is no longer a trend. It's the baseline.What composable actually means in practice:→ Your frontend (Next.js / React) is completely decoupled from your backend→ Your commerce engine handles cart, catalog, pricing, nothing more→ AI and personalization run as a dedicated layer, not bolted on plugins→ ERP, CRM, PIM, OMS connect via event-driven APIs not fragile point-to-point integrationsAnd the new frontier nobody's talking about enough: Zero-Click Commerce.AI agents are starting to shop on behalf of consumers. They don't browse. They decide. If your product catalog isn't structured, API-accessible, and compatible with AI reasoning models, you won't even be in the consideration set.Your competitors aren't just competing for clicks anymore. They're competing to be the brand that AI recommends.65% of brands report higher conversion rates after implementing personalization. 67% of enterprise retailers are already on headless. The window to get ahead of this is closing.The stack you build in 2026 will determine your commerce revenue in 2028.

Analysis Workspace - Dynamic "Previous Date Range"New

Description - (I am sure this has been asked many times, so I just wanted to revive the idea) We need an automatic "Previous Period" date range component that automatically creates a dynamic lookback window relative to the selected date range on the panel.   Why is this feature important to you It is basically not practicable to have fixed previous date range components in place that only work until one changes the panel date range. Example Freeform table using the last 7 full days (Panel date range) vs the previous 7 days (custom date range in the workspace project). Now, someone decides to change the date range on the panel to "last 30 full days" Result the custom date range still displays only 7 days, the rest is 0 the comparability between panel date range and freeform table is completely useless this becomes even more obvious / erroneous if you are applying a summary change visualization on the two columns, not taking the same number of data points into consideration How would you like the feature to work The "Previous Period" date range automatically calculates the previous x days  / weeks / months before the currently selected date range, based upon that value. Should I change the panel date range, this will automatically update the data that has been filtered by this date range e.g., in a "Summary change" visualization Current Behaviour once you change the panel date range, your data is messed up, becoming unusable this is extremely annoying for all levels of analytics consultants. I don't know how many times I have explained this to clients or had the same issues myself other analytics tools like Looker Studio do not seem to have that problem, see https://support.google.com/looker-studio/answer/9272806?hl=en For an analytics solution as mature as Analysis Workspace, this should be a standard feature.   @ericmatisoff your two cents on this idea would be amazing. You seem to have the best connections to the product team

Populate executionMetadata in Tracking Datasets for Complete CJA Funnel ReportingNew

DescriptionThe executionMetadata helper function in AJO is extremely valuable for dynamically capturing and storing custom key-value pairs in the message execution context.In our organization, the primary use case is tracking user exposure to specific fragments and enabling downstream personalization logic without the need to create additional journey branches or duplicated nodes.However, currently the execution metadata is only populated in the Feedback dataset (Sent, Delivered, Bounce, Error, Exclusion). It is not populated in the Tracking dataset for interactionType events (Opens, Clicks, Spam, and Unsubscribe). Why is this feature important to youThis limitation significantly reduces the analytical value of execution metadata.Today, if organizations want complete reporting across both delivery and engagement metrics, the only viable option is to create separate journey nodes for each variation or fragment exposure scenario. This increases journey complexity, maintenance effort, and operational overhead.If execution metadata were also propagated to the Tracking dataset, organizations could:Build full-funnel CJA reports using metadata dimensions Analyze opens, clicks, unsubscribes, and spam events by fragment exposure Reduce the need for duplicated nodes and branching logic Enable more scalable personalization and experimentation strategiesThis would make execution metadata far more powerful as both an orchestration and analytics capability. How would you like the feature to work?Ideally, any key-value pair defined through executionMetadata should automatically persist across both the Feedback and Tracking datasets. Current behaviorCJA reports based on execution metadata return zero values for engagement metrics, making it impossible to build complete funnel analyses using metadata-driven logic. As a result, organizations are forced to create additional journey nodes to enable proper reporting.

Support OIDC / workload identity federation (secretless auth) for Workfront Fusion Azure DevOps integrationsNew

Idea summary:Workfront Fusion should support non-client-secret authentication patterns for Azure DevOps integrations using Microsoft Entra ID, specifically OIDC-based federated authentication / workload identity federation.Problem:Today, the Fusion Azure DevOps Entra authentication flow depends on client secrets. In our environment, client-secret authentication is no longer permitted under enterprise security policy. Because of that, we cannot use the current Fusion connection method in a compliant way.Requested capability:Add support for secretless authentication so Fusion can obtain tokens from Microsoft Entra ID without relying on client secrets.Why this matters:- Our current integration path is blocked by security policy- This has been a long-running blocker for our Fusion to Azure DevOps use case- It affects business operations and slows our ability to expand Workfront usage- We need either native support for this auth pattern or a clearly supported alternativeDesired outcome:Support OIDC-based workload identity federation / federated credentials for Microsoft Entra ID in Fusion integrations where client-secret authentication is not allowed.Additional context:This request is tied to enterprise security requirements and is not just a convenience enhancement. A supported secretless authentication model is required for compliant implementation in our environment. 

AEM CF Editor – Tag Selector UX Issues leading to incorrect tag selection and confusing UI behaviorNew

DescriptionWe have identified UX inconsistencies in the Tag Selector component within the new Content Fragment Editor in AEM as a Cloud Service.These issues are causing confusion for authors and may lead to incorrect tagging of content.We have identified UX inconsistencies in the Tag Selector component within the new Content Fragment Editor in AEM as a Cloud Service.These issues are causing confusion for authors and may lead to incorrect tagging of content. Issue 1: Tag Selection and Expansion BehaviorCurrent BehaviorClicking on a tag label performs two actions simultaneously: Expands the tag hierarchy Automatically selects/adds the tag value Clicking specifically on the left arrow icon only expands the tag (expected behavior)Expected BehaviorClicking on a tag label should only expand/collapse the hierarchy Tag selection should be a separate explicit action (e.g., checkbox selection)ImpactAuthors may unintentionally select incorrect tags Leads to data inconsistency in content tagging Increases manual correction effort and validation overheadIssue 2: Incorrect Expansion Indicator (Arrow Icon)Current BehaviorTags display an expand arrow icon, even when: No child tags are available Expected BehaviorExpand arrow should be displayed only for tags that have child nodesImpactCreates confusion for authors Leads to unnecessary clicks and poor user experience Comparison with Classic EditorClassic CF Editor provides: Clear separation between expand vs select actions Checkbox-based selection, making intent explicit More intuitive and predictable UI behavior Steps to ReproduceOpen Content Fragment in the new CF Editor Navigate to the Tag Selector Click on a tag label Observe that the tag is both selected and expanded Expand tags that do not have children Observe that an arrow icon is still displayedProposed Enhancement / RecommendationDecouple tag expansion and selection behavior Introduce explicit selection mechanism (checkbox or similar) Remove expansion arrows for tags without children Align UX with classic CF editor behavior

AI Without Control Is Chaos: Governance Frameworks for Agentic MarketingNew

Agentic AI is rapidly transforming marketing by enabling autonomous decisioning, content generation, audience creation, and journey orchestration at unprecedented speed. Within Adobe Experience Platform (AEP), Adobe Journey Optimizer (AJO), and Real-Time CDP, these capabilities are becoming increasingly real—not theoretical.However, with this acceleration comes a critical challenge: control, trust, and governance have not evolved at the same pace as AI capabilities.Without the right governance framework, agentic AI can introduce unintended risks across:Brand safety and consistency Regulatory and compliance adherence Customer experience integrity Decision transparency and explainabilityThe key question is no longer “Can we use AI?” but rather:“How do we scale AI responsibly while maintaining control, trust, and accountability?”This article outlines practical governance models that enable organizations to scale agentic marketing safely and effectively.Why Governance Becomes Critical in Agentic MarketingTraditional marketing workflows were built around:Human approvals Linear campaign execution Static segmentation Pre-defined journeysAgentic AI introduces a fundamentally different paradigm:Autonomous agents making decisions Real-time audience evolution Dynamic journey orchestration Continuous optimization loopsThis shift removes friction—but also removes traditional control points.Without governance, organizations risk:AI-generated content deviating from brand tone Audience misuse or unintended targeting Regulatory violations in real-time decisioning Lack of visibility into “why” an AI made a decisionGovernance is no longer a checkpoint.It becomes an embedded system design principle. From Approval Workflows to AI GuardrailsTraditional marketing governance relies heavily on approval workflows:Content review cycles Campaign sign-offs Manual QA processesWhile effective in deterministic environments, they do not scale in agentic systems.In AI-driven marketing, governance must evolve into guardrails, such as:Policy-driven decision constraints Real-time content validation Identity and audience usage rules AI model usage boundaries Automated compliance enforcementInstead of asking:“Did someone approve this?”We must ask:“Did the system operate within defined safe boundaries?”This shift enables speed and safety simultaneously.Human-in-the-Loop vs Human-on-the-LoopA key distinction in agentic governance is the operating model for human involvement.Human-in-the-Loop (HITL)Humans actively participate in every decision cycle:Review before execution Approval-based workflows Manual intervention requiredBest suited for:High-risk regulated decisions Sensitive customer communications Early-stage AI adoptionHuman-on-the-Loop (HOTL)Humans define constraints, monitor outcomes, and intervene when needed:AI operates autonomously within guardrails Humans supervise system behavior Exception-based intervention modelBest suited for:Real-time personalization Journey optimization Audience activation at scaleThe Future: Hybrid Governance ModelThe most scalable model is a hybrid approach:HITL for strategy and policy definition HOTL for execution and optimization AI agents operating within governed boundariesThis is where true agentic marketing becomes viable at enterprise scale.A Practical Governance Framework for Agentic AI in MarketingA scalable governance model for AI-driven marketing typically includes four layers:1. Data Governance LayerIdentity resolution rules Consent and privacy enforcement Data quality validation Audience eligibility constraints2. AI Governance LayerApproved model registry (LLMs, decision models) Prompt and output constraints Model usage policies (what AI can/cannot do) Explainability requirements3. Experience Governance LayerBrand tone and content guidelines Journey logic constraints Channel-specific rules Personalization boundaries4. Operational Governance LayerHuman oversight mechanisms Audit logs and traceability Exception handling workflows KPI monitoring and drift detectionScaling AI Responsibly Across Marketing OrganizationsOrganizations that successfully scale agentic AI do three things well:They embed governance into architecture, not processes They shift from manual approvals to automated guardrails They define clear boundaries for autonomous AI behaviorThe goal is not to slow AI down—but to make it safe to scale it faster.Final ThoughtAgentic AI represents a fundamental shift in how marketing operates. But without governance, speed becomes risk.The winning organizations will not be those who adopt AI the fastest—but those who design systems where AI can operate safely, transparently, and responsibly at scale.Governance is no longer a constraint on innovation.It is the foundation that makes innovation sustainable. I’d be interested in hearing how others in the community are approaching governance for agentic AI in marketing. What frameworks or guardrails are you putting in place to balance speed, control, and trust?

Mask OAuth Consumer Key and Consumer Secret in Salesforce Sync Admin PageNew

In the Marketo Admin panel under Integration > Salesforce > Edit OAuth Consumer Info, both the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret fields  are displayed in plain text.  This is a security concern — OAuth secrets should be masked by default (e.g., ••••••••••) with an optional "Show" toggle, consistent with   how most platforms handle sensitive credentials.  Current Behavior:  - Navigate to Admin > Integration > Salesforce  - Click "Edit OAuth Consumer Info"  - Both Consumer Key and Consumer Secret values are fully visible in plain text  Expected Behavior:  - Consumer Secret should use a password-type input field, masked by default  - Consumer Key should ideally also be masked  - An optional "Show/Hide" toggle would allow authorized admins to reveal the value when needed  Why this matters:  - Screen sharing, screenshots, and over-the-shoulder exposure can inadvertently leak credentials  - Security audits and compliance reviews (SOC 2, ISO 27001) flag plain-text credential display as a finding  - Other Adobe products and most SaaS platforms already mask API secrets in their admin UIs  - This is a low-effort, high-impact UX improvement that aligns with OWASP secure design principles  Workaround: None — there is no way to mask these fields today.  Reference: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/marketo/using/product-docs/crm-sync/salesforce-sync/log-in-using-oauth-2-0

Control Notifications for Document ProofsNew

Document Proofs do not currently “honor” the User Settings around notifications. This is an issue for users who need broader visibility to Document Proofs, but do not require detailed summaries. Is this something Adobe Workfront team can look into resolving? This resolution would help prevent unnecessary email disruption for our management/leadership team that need visibility to Document Proofs without the detailed email summaries.More detail on case study: We have Workfront contributors that will view a monthly report that contains a proof link, where they can view a document proof. For these users, all User notification settings set to off. However, when they click to view the Document Proof, Workfront is adding them as a “Reviewer” to the Document Proof and automatically subscribing them to receive Daily Summaries for that project. We tested resolution by keeping them as Reviewer with Proof notification settings disabled. [However note: this resolution would be a challenge, as Document Proofs do not recognize Group settings, and would require us to setup each user as Reviewer with Disabled notifications for every project. This would be incredibly cumbersome for every project]  This is an issue for our process, as these particular users require unnecessary email disruption and do not need visibility to all the detailed comments in the Document proofing process / daily summary.
