We are excited to announce the expansion of Custom Objects Personalization, available now in your automations. This update enhances automation capabilities by allowing you to leverage Custom Objects across every relevant action, providing deeper personalization and more dynamic workflows.

== Key Features ==

=== Available in more actions ===
Now supported in actions like sending SMS, internal notifications, if/else, webhook, and more.

=== Dynamic personalization ===
Automatically select the triggering Custom Object record or the most recent record if no trigger is available.

=== Broader control ===
Use custom objects to personalize deals, tasks, emails, and notifications seamlessly.

== Benefits ==

* '''Improved personalization''': Custom Objects can now be used in any action that supports personalization, ensuring tailored messaging and automation flows.
* '''Greater flexibility''': Users can now integrate Custom Object data in various automation steps, making workflows more dynamic.
