Opal in Work Requests (October 2025)
Added the ability for Opal to read Work Request details (form submission, assignees, priority level, and status).

Optimizely Data Platform
Homepage Redesign (September 2025)
Redesigned the homepage for new and existing customers. New customers can access a toolkit to configure integrations, build audiences, and activate campaigns. Afterwards, you can view summaries of key elements like monthly active users, the number of audiences, and get suggestions on relevant third-party integrations. You can also learn more about ODP by accessing resources in Optimizely Academy and stay updated on the latest ODP releases.
Opal real-time audiences (September 2025)
Added Opal-suggested real-time audiences to help customers automatically create and generate ideas for real-time audiences. This can help you deliver a data-driven, personalized customer experience without manually creating a real-time audience from scratch.
