Week of Aug 17

New Features

Distribution Caps

We introduced 6 new types of caps (Per Transaction, Daily User, Weekly Point Source, Monthly Point Source, Referral User, and Referral Point Source) that give customers fine-grained control over point distribution. Combined with multipliers, processors, and referrals, customers can now design nearly any distribution system they can imagine.

New Branding

A refreshed identity with a bolder, more vibrant green now makes Absinthe stand out and feel more modern. It’s a stronger foundation for how we present ourselves across the site and in future materials.

Improvements & Fixes

  • Zero downtime during rollout of new caps.

  • Subtle refinements across the website for consistency, accessibility, and responsiveness.

  • Fixed an edge case in S3 connectors where recent data wasn’t being updated properly.

Why It Matters

These changes make it easier for teams to run flexible, controlled loyalty campaigns while enjoying a smoother platform experience. From brand refresh to behind-the-scenes fixes, everything adds up to more reliable tools and stronger confidence in Absinthe.

What’s Next

Next week we’ll be rolling out a Ecosystem page to highlight success stories from campaigns using Absinthe.
