March 2026

Mar 1, 2026

Concise monthly summary for March 2026 (repo: openedx/enterprise-integrated-channels). Key features delivered include Percipio Integration Payload Enhancements, improving explicit user and organization IDs, and reliable user UUID extraction from SSO metadata; also includes a version bump to 0.1.48 to reflect the release. Skillsoft Payload Alignment implemented by renaming the payload key from userid to user and ensuring event dates are formatted in UTC to meet Skillsoft specifications. User Region Mapping Enhancement refined SSO processing by prioritizing country metadata over explicit region values and adding support for array-based country values to improve accuracy. These changes collectively enhance data fidelity, event accuracy, and integration reliability across Percipio and Skillsoft channels, enabling more trusted analytics and downstream automation.
