This is enabled through a new Connect Job Type: Import App Channel List Data.

Personalization Support for Push Notification Titles
We now enable Mobile app marketers to use extensive Personalization (RPL) in the Push Title field of Push Notification Campaigns. Previously, the maximum length of the Push Title field was 200 characters but now this limit has been relaxed to 2048 characters.
When using the URL shortener service, Responsys now checks for the presence of profane words in short URLs against a predefined list. If there is a profane word, the short-name is regenerated.
By default, in any account using short URL service, the short-name part that is generated by Responsys is checked for profanity.
If you would like to include the host-name to be part of the profanity check, log in to My Oracle Support and create a service request. If this is enabled, the profanity check will consider the host-name and short-name combination.
Responsys now supports Android app links. This enables email marketers to deep link Android end users in a standard, seamless, and secure manner into their Android apps. Similar to the existing support for Oracle Responsys iOS Universal Links, this feature enables the following:
- Responsys customers can link from a Responsys email campaign directly into their Android mobile app (if installed), using Android app links
- Achieve email-to-app deep linking on Android devices, while preserving click tracking and selective app deep linking (you choose which links in the email will open the app)
Using Multiple Push SDKs in the same App
You can now integrate and use the Responsys Push SDK in your app even if your app already uses multiple other Push SDKs.
