- v2.42.0 Broadcasts, sequences and Autopilot can exclude segments, so nobody in an excluded segment gets the email, even when they are in the audience.
- v2.42.0 A segment that a broadcast, sequence or autopilot excludes cannot be deleted, and the message names what uses it.
- v2.42.0 The API can create a subscriber who has already unsubscribed in one request, so a migration keeps its opt-outs with no gap.
- v2.42.0 The API accepts excluded_segment_ids on broadcasts, sequences and autopilots.
- v2.41.2 The "Send Broadcast?" dialog now says how many subscribers the broadcast goes to.

## Broadcast vs your email provider (SES, SendGrid, Mailgun)

SendGrid, Amazon SES, and Mailgun send the email, but they're sending infrastructure, not a marketing platform. Broadcast is the layer on top: lists, campaigns, automations, and unsubscribe handling, running on your own server and sending through the provider you already use.
