Bloomreach supports OAuth 2.0 authentication

July 6, 2023 /

Bloomreach, provider of a Commerce Experience Cloud, announced the support of Open Authorization (OAuth) 2.0 authentication for webhooks, an industry standard protocol for authentication that enables third-party applications to access a user’s data without sharing their credentials. Businesses will now have the ability to integrate Bloomreach Engagement with third-party applications that require OAuth through webhooks, safely connecting real-time data in and out Bloomreach and boosting marketing personalization without the need to switch platforms.

The use of webhooks plays a crucial role in facilitating real-time data synchronization and triggering actions across multiple marketing channels. By leveraging webhooks effectively, marketers can deliver personalized, timely, and consistent experiences across touchpoints, to improve customer engagement and satisfaction. As marketers deliver these enhanced experiences, the OAuth 2.0 authentication method for webhooks maintains the security and integrity of the exchanged data. By enabling controlled access to protected resources, it mitigates the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

OAuth 2.0 authentication via webhooks opens the door for brands to frictionlessly integrate Bloomreach Engagement with third-party platforms and applications in their tech stack that require this authentication method. This includes Microsoft Azure, Commercetools, Criteo Marketing, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Listrak, and Talkdesk, among others.

Databricks announces LakehouseIQ

June 28, 2023 /

Databricks announced LakehouseIQ, a knowledge engine that learns what makes an organization’s data, culture and operations unique. LakehouseIQ uses generative AI to understand jargon, data usage patterns, organizational structure, and more to answer questions within the context of a business. Anyone in an organization can interact with LakehouseIQ using natural language to search, understand, and query data. LakehouseIQ is fully integrated with Databricks Unity Catalog to help ensure that democratizing access to data adheres to internal security and governance rules.

Using large language models with care

This is not news, but researchers Maria Antoniak, Li Lucy, Maarten Sap, and Luca Soldaini from The Allen Institute provide an important public service with their “introductory outline of the risks of LLMs, written for the everyday user.” This will be directly helpful to some of us, but especially useful for sharing with certain colleagues, or family and friends.

Snowflake unveils large language model to extract data from documents

June 27, 2023 /

Snowflake announced new advancements to its single, unified platform that make it easier for organizations to get value from all of their data. With Document AI (private preview), Snowflake is launching a new large language model (LLM) built from Applica’s generative AI technology to help customers understand documents and put their unstructured data to work. Building on Snowflake’s support for unstructured data, Snowflake’s built-in Document AI will make it easier for organizations to understand and extract value from documents using natural language processing.

Document AI stems from Snowflake’s acquisition of Applica (Sept. 2022) and leverages its purpose-built, multimodal LLM. By integrating this model within Snowflake’s platform, organizations will be able to easily extract content like invoice amounts or contractual terms from documents and fine-tune results using a visual interface and natural language. Customers are using Document AI to help their teams be smarter about their businesses, and enhance user productivity in secure and scalable ways. Snowflake is starting with Document AI and plans to expand these capabilities to more types of unstructured data.

Drupal 10.1 is now available

June 22, 2023 /

Drupal released Drupal 10.1, which makes customizing the look of your site easier, adds support for decoupled navigation, improves content modeling and editing, block management, performance, and more. A sample of the changes include:

  • New APIs for retrieving menus configured in Drupal using the Linkset standard.
  • Various CKEditor improvements including an autoformat feature.
  • A unified entity revision editing experience was added. This makes prior versions of content easier to manage regardless of whether they are in content blocks or nodes or other entities.
  • You can create custom blocks directly under Structure in the administrative interface. More granular permissions allow granting block management per type and revisions to block content can be reviewed and rolled back.
  • BigPipe supports serving interface previews for delayed content, which makes the user experience smoother.
  • HTML pages and AJAX responses can now be served before dynamically processed JavaScript and CSS assets have been generated.
  • The request type used for making AJAX requests can be configured allowing certain dynamic requests to be cached using render and edge caching capabilities, enabling faster response times.
  • Drupal 10.1 is also approved as a Digital Public Good (DPG) by the Digital Public Good Alliance (DPGA).
