Hi there,

For everyone building powerful workflows on top of our API, we know that data integrity is everything. That’s why we’re launching a new feature designed to make your automations more robust and error-proof: Mandatory Layers.

You can now designate specific layers in your templates as "mandatory." This acts as a powerful safeguard, ensuring that critical data is never missed during an API generation, preventing accidental generations with placeholder content.

What's New?

• Enforce Required Fields: When a layer is marked as mandatory, our API will require that you provide a new value for it in every single generation call. The template's default value will not be accepted, guaranteeing each visual is populated correctly.
• Clear & Actionable Error Responses: If you attempt a generation without providing data for a mandatory layer, the API will return a 422 error with a clear message, making debugging your integration a breeze.

Invalid parameters: elements.layer_name.payload: Mandatory field is required. Default value is: [default value]

• Programmatic Discovery: You can now easily identify which layers need to be filled. When querying the API for design details, each layer's data will include a settings object with an is_mandatory flag.

How to Use It?

1. Configure the setting in the editor:

• Open your design and navigate to Design Settings on the left.

• Go to the "Layer Configuration" section.
• Select the layer you wish to enforce from the list.
• Enable the option: "Mark Layer as Mandatory (API Generation Only)".
• Save your settings.

2. Implement the logic in your code:

• Query the design details endpoint to check for layers where is_mandatory is true.
• When calling the generation endpoint, ensure you are always passing a new value for each mandatory layer to avoid errors.

This feature is designed to give you more control and confidence when generating visuals at scale. Build smarter, more reliable automations today!

Hi there,

The fallback image is your ad's most critical safety net, it's what users see before the animation loads or if it's blocked. So why settle for the default first or last frame?

We're excited to announce a highly requested update that gives you complete creative control: the ability to set a custom Fallback Frame directly on the timeline! Now you can choose the single most impactful moment of your animation to serve as your static image.

What's New?

• Intuitive Timeline Control: No more hunting through settings! The option to set your fallback is now a simple, visual marker right where you build your animations.
• Drag-and-Drop Simplicity: Simply drag a dedicated keyframe marker on the timeline to pinpoint the exact moment you want to capture. It’s fast, precise, and incredibly easy.
• Choose Your Hero Shot: You now have the power to select the perfect frame—the one with the clearest call-to-action, the most compelling visual, or the strongest branding—as your fallback image.
• Guaranteed Impact: Ensure your ad communicates its message effectively from the very first impression, even before the animation plays.

How to Use It?

1. Open your animated design in the Abyssale Design Builder.
2. Look at the timeline at the bottom of the editor. You will see a new Fallback Frame marker.
3. Simply click and drag this marker along the timeline.
4. Position it at the exact frame you want to use as your fallback image.
5. That’s it! When you export your design as an HTML5 ad, this precise frame will be automatically generated as the fallback.jpg in your ZIP file.

This feature is all about giving you the control to create more effective and professional-looking ads. Your campaigns just got another layer of polish. ✨

Hi there,

Get ready for crisper, faster, and more professional HTML5 ads. We're excited to introduce a game-changing update for your ad exports: the ability to render text layers as SVG!

Say goodbye to pixelated text and bulky files. This new option embeds your text as scalable vector graphics directly within your HTML5 ad package, ensuring your message is always sharp and your file size stays lean.

What's New?

• Crystal-Clear Quality: By exporting text as inline SVG, it remains perfectly sharp and readable on any screen, at any resolution. No more blurry headlines or calls to action!
• Optimized for Performance: Vector text can often be significantly smaller in file size than a traditional image (like a JPG or PNG), helping your ads load faster and easily meet the strict size requirements of platforms like Google Ads.
• Set-and-Forget Workflow: Define your text rendering preference once in your design settings, and every future HTML5 export will automatically follow that rule.

How to Use It?

This powerful option is now available in your design's export settings.

1. Open your design
2. Navigate to Design Settings
3. Go to the "HTML5 Export" section.
4. Enable the toggle for "Render text as SVG".
5. Save your changes.

That's it! From now on, every HTML5 ad you export from this tdesign will automatically be generated with high-quality SVG text.

This update gives your ads a significant quality boost, ensuring they look professional and perform brilliantly. Your HTML5 exports just got a major upgrade. ✨

Hi there,

Tired of inconsistent capitalization in your automated visuals? We’ve got the perfect solution. Introducing our latest update: Automatic Text Case Transformation!

This powerful new feature gives you full control over your typography, ensuring perfect brand consistency across every single design you generate. Now, you can set a text or button layer to be uppercase, lowercase, or title case directly within the editor, and we’ll handle the rest.

What's New?

• Set-and-Forget Formatting: Choose from Uppercase, Lowercase, or Title Case in the text panel. This setting is saved directly into your design.
• Automatic Generation Magic: When you generate visuals using any generation methods, our system will automatically convert your input text to match the case you selected. If your spreadsheet says "hello world" but your design is set to Uppercase, it will automatically appear as "HELLO WORLD".
• Total Brand Consistency: This is perfect for campaign headlines, product names, or calls to action. Ensure your branding rules are followed flawlessly, no matter the source data.

How to Use It?

1. Open your design in the Abyssale Design Builder.
2. Select the text layer you want to format.
3. In the right-side panel under "Text" settings, you’ll see the new "Case" options.
4. Simply select your preferred case (e.g., Uppercase).
5. That's it! Your choice is saved.

This update is all about removing friction from your workflow and giving you more creative control. No more manually cleaning up spreadsheets or worrying about inconsistent text. Your automated design process just got a whole lot smarter. ✨

Hi there,

We're excited to announce two significant improvements to text handling in our generation system:

What's New?

1. Improved Button Text Vertical Alignment

• Issue Resolved: Our previous alignment algorithm didn't properly account for typographic variations that affect visual centering

• Dynamic Alignment: The new system now intelligently adjusts vertical centering based on: Capital letters and their increased height Descenders in lowercase letters (g, j, p, q, y) that extend below the baseline Mixed case text that previously created optical alignment issues Font-specific characteristics that affect the perceived center point

• Optical vs. Mathematical Centering: We've implemented optical centering rather than pure mathematical centering, ensuring text appears properly balanced to the human eye

Note: This improvement applies to the generation system only, not in the Design Builder

2. Enhanced Diagonal Strikethrough

• Continuous Strikethrough: Diagonal strikethrough lines now flow smoothly across text without interruption

• Consistent Across Text Styles: Works seamlessly across: Different font sizes in the same text block Superscript and subscript text Mixed text decorations Color-split text

Why You'll Love It

• Professional-looking buttons with text that appears properly centered regardless of character composition
• No more manual adjustments needed for buttons with descenders or all-caps text
• Cleaner, more consistent strikethrough effects for price comparisons and promotions
• Improved visual coherence in your designs

These improvements are live now for all users in the generation system. We're continuously working to refine text handling to give you the most professional results possible.

As always, we appreciate your feedback as we continue to enhance your design experience!

Happy designing! 🎨
