Release notes

Release notes record what changed in the Vendlen App: new capabilities, changes to existing behaviour, and fixes.

How to read them

Each entry is grouped under three headings:

• New — capabilities that did not exist before.
• Improved — existing behaviour that changed. Read these carefully if you have rules configured, since a change here can change what a rule decides.
• Fixed — defects corrected.

Where they start

Release notes begin with the first entry published on this site. Changes made to the App before that point are not reconstructed here.

3 November 2026

This entry covers everything since 21 September.

New

• Amazon DSP (Beta). Connect an advertiser, read orders, line items and creatives beside your Sponsored Ads, change them from the App and build new ones. New orders and line items start paused. DSP Automation adds Objectives and rules that change line items for you. See Amazon DSP.
• Term Groups is now the first and default view under Search terms. It gathers search terms across every ASIN and ad group, with a daily chart and Add negation, Remove negation and Add as keywords on the selection.
• Competing, under Performance, lists targets on the same ASIN that Amazon treats as close variants of each other, and lets you enable or pause them from the row’s Details.
• Details on Keywords and Search Terms rows opens a daily chart for that row, and shows where a search term ran.
• Add as keywords lets you send selected search terms to an ad group, or to Campaign Builder when no ad group fits. See Harvest, negate and unnegate.
• Remove negation is available from Performance on Ad Groups and Campaigns.
• Campaign and Ad Group names can be edited inline, and the Keywords tab can change a campaign’s placement adjustment with a preview of the targets it affects.
• Inventory: purchase orders now carry unit prices, currency, VAT, discounts, extra fees and what has been paid. Finished SKUs can have their own suppliers. A purchase order can be received in parts, matched to an Amazon shipment and followed through Inbound Pipeline, which now also shows Walmart and TikTok shipments.
• Stock after lot records what the factory has left after a production lot and compares it with what the App calculated.

Improved

• Selling rate is no longer dragged down when a SKU runs out. The rate is held for 14 days, then steps down 10% a week and stops at 50% of the rate before the stockout. See Selling rate and buffer weeks.
• Supply setup is off by default, so sellers who do not use co-packing or raw materials no longer see those screens until they turn it on.
• Advertising cost on the Dashboard includes Amazon DSP, on its own line. Walmart and TikTok have their own Refund cost block, as Amazon does.
• Applying a Bid, Pause or Enable brief from the AI Analyst now holds that target from Automation for 7 days. See Reviewing, rejecting and blocking.
• A new SP-API connection pulls 92 days of order history, and it can also be started from the Amazon Appstore. When Amazon refuses a part of the data, the screen that uses it says so.
• The Bid cell shows the Dayparting bid when it differs from the base bid.
• Downloads warn you before a file is cut off at 100,000 rows.
• Keywords containing an inch mark " are stopped before they reach Amazon on Sponsored Products.
• Monthly ad spend on the Ads plans now includes Amazon DSP spend on your own DSP advertiser.

Fixed

• Reconnecting after access was revoked now restarts scheduled data syncs.
• A Walmart shipment marked Arrived or Receiving that is not fully received stays counted as inbound.
• A purchase order that has been paid in full moves to Closed straight away.
• Week codes around the new year no longer roll into the wrong year.
• The Dashboard says updates are paused when a plan has expired, rather than showing that it is still loading.

21 September 2026

New

• Exclude from Automation can hold selected keyword/targeting actions or negative actions for 7, 14 or 30 days, a custom 1–365 days, or indefinitely. Held rows are omitted from Preview’s action list and scheduled runs; Rule Health can identify the exclusion as the reason Automation stopped. Holds do not cover Dayparting, Agent proposals or direct user changes.
• Possibly blocked identifies a previously converting keyword or search term whose traffic has dropped abnormally even though the App cannot find an active negative. Search-term detection also requires the term to remain active in another ad group. The signal is rebuilt nightly after a complete data fetch.
• The Keywords table now includes Last activity and Last order, with numeric-style date operators and two-condition AND/OR filters.
• Rule Health now shows Firing, Stopped by and the optional Days silent column in Preview Changes and the Rules table.

Improved

• Negation and Unnegation now treat Amazon-style close variants as one term in both directions, so equivalent terms no longer look unrelated.
• Negation and Unnegation criteria now evaluate the summed performance of a close-variant family within its campaign and ad group. Each family produces at most one negative, while Preview still lists the individual search terms behind the decision.
• The App now rejects Negative Phrase candidates above 4 words and Negative Exact candidates above 10 words before delivery, and records them as permanently skipped.
• Preview warns when either a bid change or an enable/pause change targets a keyword covered by an active negative.
• Rule Health can report when Amazon repeatedly reversed an applied change, Amazon permanently rejected keyword text, or a user excluded the row from Automation.
