+## April 30, 2024 release
+
+### Permissions to create or update promotion code lists
+
+As of April 2024, users will need the “Access Campaigns, Canvases, Cards, Segments, Media Library” permission to create or update promotion code lists. Refer to [Managing limited and team role permissions]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/administrative/app_settings/manage_your_braze_users/user_permissions/#managing-limited-and-team-role-permissions) for a list of permission names and their descriptions.
+
+### Data flexibility
+
+#### SAML just-in-time provisioning
+
+{% multi_lang_include release_type.md release="Early access" %}
+
+[Just-in-time provisioning]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/administrative/access_braze/single_sign_on/saml_jit) works with SAML SSO to allow new dashboard users to create a Braze account on their first sign in. This eliminates the need for administrators to manually create an account for a new dashboard user, choose their permissions, assign them to a workspace, and wait for them to activate their account.
+
+#### Permission sets and roles
+
+Use [permission sets]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/administrative/app_settings/manage_your_braze_users/user_permissions/#permission-sets-and-roles) to bundle permissions related to specific subject areas or actions. These permission sets can be applied to dashboard users who need the same access across different workspaces.
+
+#### Cloud Data Ingestion Segments
+
+Braze [Cloud Data Ingestion segments]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/engagement_tools/segments/segment_extension/cdi_segments) allow you to write SQL that directly queries your own data warehouse by using data made available via your CDI connections, and create a group of users that can be targeted within Braze.
+
+### Unlocking creativity
+
+### Query Builder templates
+
+{% multi_lang_include release_type.md release="General availability" %}
+
+Using Query Builder templates, you can create reports using Braze data from Snowflake. To access [Query Builder]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/data_and_analytics/query_builder/) templates, select **Query Template** when creating a report. All templates surface data from up to the last 60 days, but you can directly edit that and other values in the editor.
+
+### Performance data by segment
+
+{% multi_lang_include release_type.md release="General availability" %}
+
+You can break down [performance data by segment]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/data_and_analytics/reporting/viewing_and_understanding_segment_data/#performance-data-by-segment) in Query Builder report templates for campaigns, variants, and Canvases and Canvas steps by segments.
+
+### Robust channels
+
+#### Automatic link shortening for SMS messaging
+
+{% multi_lang_include release_type.md release="General availability" %}
+
+Use [automatic link shortening]({{site.baseurl}}/user_guide/message_building_by_channel/sms/keywords/keyword_handling/?tab=manage%20responses#managing-keywords-and-auto-responses) to automatically shorten static URLs in your response. This can help shape your response as the character counter will update to show the expected length of the shortened URL.
+
+### New Braze partnerships
+
+#### Friendbuy - Loyalty
+
+Leverage the integration between Braze and [Friendbuy]({{site.baseurl}}/partners/message_orchestration/channel_extensions/loyalty/friendbuy/) to expand your email and SMS capabilities while effortlessly automating your referral and loyalty program communications. Braze will generate customer profiles for all the opted-in phone numbers collected via Friendbuy.
+
+### NiftyImages - Dynamic Content
+
+The Braze and [NiftyImages]({{site.baseurl}}/partners/message_personalization/dynamic_content/niftyimages/) partnership allows you to create dynamic and personalized images for your email campaigns by mapping your existing Braze personalization tags to your NiftyImages URLs.
