API

• To enhance stability and optimize usage, thresholds are now enforced on requests to the Public Query API. These thresholds apply to all clients.

Conversations

• To improve responsiveness and reduce processing time when working with large datasets, the total count of customer records has been removed from the Customers screen header and pagination footer. Instead, the footer now displays the count of records currently loaded or updated as the user navigates through pages.

• Channel Diagnostics have been improved export performance and usability as follows:

  • Enhanced search and filtering: Optimized options to reduce processed data and speed up exports.
  • Improved CSV export process: Exports now run asynchronously, avoiding UI blocking and improving reliability for large datasets.
  • New Download Center: A dedicated section under Conversations where you can view all requested downloads, check their status, search or filter past exports, and download completed files.

Emails

• Feedback Responses emails and Adhoc email inviters now support configuring domain-aligned Return-Paths. Clients using custom email domains (email masking) can now assign a unique Return-Path per domain and ensure compliance with email authentication standards such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.

Feedback

• Smart Response is now supported for Conversation Records with an associated email value. This enhancement expands Smart Response availability across more record types and enables users to respond more effectively using GenAI.

• The Activity Log in the Responses Form, Invitations Form, and Responses Feed now displays timestamps based on the local timezone user's device, improving clarity and consistency across workflows. This update applies only to the in-product view; export files and the a_log_notes field continue to show timestamps as before. For information, see Responses Form, Responses Feed, and Invitations reports.>

Medallia Mobile

• Medallia Voices and Medallia Mobile now support customization of email templates for Voices Congratulate, Voices Forward, and Medallia Mobile Forward actions. Each can have their own unique templates.

  • Big number

Security

• All new accounts are blocked from using the login form (username & password) to sign in; existing accounts are not restricted.

  • Administrators can enable the form for an account via Admin Suite (option Block user from using login form) or Setup (option User is blocked from using the login form).
  • Accounts created via "SSO on-the-fly" provisioning or through an import operation can enable the form via the fieldId="blocked" target-field in an Auto Importer specification.
  • Accounts created via API can enable the form via the login_blocked option.

  After January 2027, use of the login form — even for existing accounts — will require multi-factor authentication (MFA).

  • Clients wishing to opt out of the MFA enforcement must engage their Medallia Sales contact to execute an "Insecure User Access" addendum to your software agreement. Please do so before January 2027 to ensure no impact on your program.

  Additionally:

  • All new and existing accounts with a role that includes the Do Anything permission now require either SSO or MFA.
  • Clients using SSO are encouraged to work with your Identity Provider (IdP) to use some form of MFA.

  This notice was updated 4 March 2026.

• New e-fields allow better visibility into Speech processing. Four fields contain date stamps for the beginning and completion of the Speech process for a given record, and the fifth provides a concrete Success or Failure value to determine the disposition of the record.
