Deal ramps in Zuora
Limio now supports deal ramp, which allows you to create a series of promotional prices (known as ramp). You can find a full description of the Zuora feature .
Where: This change applies to the Pricing attribute on the Limio Offer for users of the Limio for Zuora integration.
When: This feature is available with the Spring 2021 release.

How: To set it up in Limio, all you have to do is set up at least two charges. This will automatically trigger the deal ramp in Zuora.
This pricing will create the following deal ramp in Zuora:
Deal ramps are compatible with Switch. If a switch (change_offer event) is performed, the deal ramp will be removed on the switch effective date and the new offer will be added.
Known limitation:
Deal ramps are compatible with cancel/save discounts. However, by default, a cancel/save discount will be applied at the end of a deal ramp. You cannot apply a cancel/save discount within the ramp period.

For developers
Limio SDK and updated docs
Limio is expanding the range of possibilities for developers to create custom components. We have released the Limio SDK () as well as new methods.
Where: This change applies custom components, which can be uploaded via the Asset.
When: This feature is available with the Spring 2021 release.
Why: Sometimes, a Limio Component won’t do the job and manipulating the CSS is not enough. Custom components allow developers to collaborate with marketers, and deliver to them new functionality which they can use in the Page Builder. However, until now, custom components were restricted to visual elements. With the Limio SDK and new methods, we are opening up new possibilities to retrieve data from Limio. For example, it is now possible to retrieve users, campaigns, and offers information to create a custom offer display. New methods will be gradually introduced for custom checkouts, custom Manage My Accounts, and more.
How: Head to our developer docs to get started:
Import custom components via CI/CD pipeline
Developers can import components via AWS S3 rather than manually uploading in the Limio app.
Where: This change applies custom components, which can be imported via a CI/CD pipeline,.
When: This feature is available with the Spring 2021 release.
Why: Limio users can upload new custom component via the Limio asset. However, developers would rather work within their existing tool. Now, it is possible to push custom components directly into Limio via the Assets API.
How: Once your React component is ready to be deployed, you should package it and uploaded to an S3 bucket, this can be internal or external. Once ready make the following request to the Assets API:
URL is:
/limio/catalogs/1/items/assets/<>
Body:
{ "name": "<>", "baseTemplate": "/config/templates/assets/AssetBase", "record_type": "asset", "record_subtype": null, "type": "item", "familyName": null, "attributes": { "comment": "", "asset": { "url":"public/<>", "contentType": "text/javascript", "repository": { "bucket": "<>", "key": "<>" } } } }
It will then be visible in Limio Assets.
