We've got a helpful safeguard for you this month: Spark now checks for mapping changes when you upload an updated file, giving you an early heads-up before anything reaches your integrations.

And don't miss our latest customer spotlight and case study with Óptima Mayores, whose two-person IT team runs an entire business on Spark.

Mapping differences highlighted on upload

When updating Spark services, Spark will inform you if the uploaded file includes new or removed mappings. This provides an additional check to the user to inform of any consequential changes to their Spark integrations and testing.​

Spark will also suggest users to choose a major version update to indicate that there are incompatible API changes. This follows semantic versioning guidelines.
