June 2026 releases: Stensul MCP, Accessibility QA, and more.

June 2026 releases: Stensul MCP, Accessibility QA, and more. Every CMO Stensul, Inc. talk to is carrying the same question right now. How do you actually adopt AI across a marketing organization without losing control of what ships? More tools, more agents, more people generating drafts - that part is solved. Getting that work on-brand, compliant, accessible, and approved before it reaches a customer is where enterprise marketing organizations are getting stuck. The volume of creation goes up. The review process breaks under it. Stensul was built for that problem. AI just made it urgent for everyone. This month's releases are proof of what the solution looks like in practice. Each one moves governance into the places where AI-assisted work is now happening - the tools where agents create, the builder where accessibility used to be caught too late, the dynamic variants where governance most often falls behind, and the regulated environments where AI features were previously locked out entirely. Here's what Stensul, Inc. shipped. * Stensul MCP Server Early Access Program - Open today: The governance layer is now callable by AI agents, from any tool a marketing team is already using. * Accessibility QA Check - Beta: Real-time WCAG 2.1 AA checks, built into the builder, before send. * Bring Your Own LLM - Beta: Regulated customers can now run Stensul's AI features on their own approved LLM, inside their existing compliance environment. * Dynamic Content Review & Approval - Now available: Review every variant of a dynamic email in one place, without screenshots, PDFs, or a separate proofing tool. Stensul MCP: the governance layer, now callable. Stensul recently announced the Stensul MCP Server Early Access Program, giving enterprise marketing teams a way to bring Stensul governance to more places where AI-assisted creation is happening, starting with email. The significance isn't just the connection, but what sits behind it. A marketer drafts in Claude. A designer starts from a brief in Figma. A business user asks an agent to generate a campaign variant. All of that creation now has real leverage - and a real governance problem. In enterprise marketing, work has to meet standards before it reaches the customer. Brand rules. Compliance. Accessibility. Approval paths. And more creation doesn't help if more of it gets stuck in review, sent back for rework, or never ships at all. Stensul MCP makes that possible. AI agents operating in any MCP-connected tool can now create inside Stensul's governance - the same templates, brand rules, compliance checks, and approval workflows your team already trusts, regardless of where the work started. AI-assisted creation happens inside the controls required to ship, not around them. The Early Access Program is open today. If your team is building AI into your marketing workflow and wants to help define what governed AI creation looks like in practice, request access here. Accessibility QA Check, a Governance Agent. Accessibility has always been part of enterprise marketing governance. Until now, enforcement has happened late - in spreadsheets, in post-export point tools, or in legal review when something had already shipped. That's not governance. That's cleanup. Accessibility QA Check is a Governance Agent that runs inside the builder and checks emails against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards in real time as they're being created. Checks including color contrast and alt text get flagged on the canvas before the email ships - automatically, every time, regardless of who built it or when. The governance moves to where the work happens, not where it ends up. For regulated industries facing ADA enforcement, EAA compliance, or procurement requirements gating renewals on accessibility, that shift matters. Accessibility QA Check is available for all customers in the Stensul platform. Bring Your Own LLM. In case you missed it, Stensul, Inc. rolled out BYO LLM in April. For many regulated marketing teams in financial services, healthcare, and life sciences, AI can only run through models their organization has already vetted and approved. With BYO LLM, customers connect their own approved LLM (OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini via major cloud providers) directly to Stensul's governed templates and workflows. Every AI request routes through the customer's managed environment, under their existing contracts and controls, and never leaves it. The creation experience is identical. The only thing that changes is which AI is doing the generating. BYO LLM is now available in beta. Dynamic Content Review & Approval. The new dynamic content review and approval experience is available for customers. Reviewers can now preview every segment combination of a dynamic email, comment in context, and approve - all without leaving Stensul. Dynamic content is where governance is notoriously difficult to maintain. When an email has multiple versions for multiple audiences, review and approval processes struggle to keep up - and governance gaps tend to show up there first. This brings governance into every step of the review process regardless of how many variants an email has. Every combination is visible, every comment is tied to the right version, and approval accounts for the full picture. See its releases in action at Salesforce Connections. At Salesforce Connections, Stensul, Inc.'ll be on the ground doing live demos of Stensul MCP, and more. Get an exclusive look at what governed AI creation looks like for your team at Booth #411, or sign up for a custom demo here. In summary. These four releases share a single logic. AI changes who and what can create. Stensul governs what can ship. For enterprise marketing teams that can't afford to lose control of brand, compliance, or quality when they scale creation - that's what this month is about.

Introducing Accessibility QA Check, Stensul's Governance Agent.

Introducing Accessibility QA Check, Stensul's Governance Agent. Email accessibility has never been optional. For teams in regulated industries, the legal and compliance pressure around it is growing fast. To help its customers ensure compliance with new accessibility regulations, Stensul is excited to introduce Accessibility QA Check, a Governance Agent that runs inside the builder and checks emails against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards in real time as they're being created. Checks including color contrast and alt text get flagged on the canvas before the email ships - automatically, every time, regardless of who built it or when. Accessibility QA Check is the latest addition to its governance suite - a Governance Agent built to bring the final compliance check inside the creation process, where it belongs. And Stensul, Inc. picked today to launch it on purpose. It's Global Accessibility Awareness Day. What Stensul, Inc. built. Operating as a real-time, in-builder assistant, the Accessibility QA Check evaluates emails against WCAG 2.1 AA standards while they are being built. Unlike traditional manual audits that happen at the end of a workflow, this Agent surfaces issues - such as color contrast failures, missing alt-text, and broken heading structures - directly on the canvas and in a dedicated side panel, prompting the user to fix the issues. By providing immediate feedback, it ensures that inclusive design is a default setting rather than a final hurdle, allowing teams in regulated industries to ship accessible content at scale without sacrificing speed. Why this matters now. Email accessibility has been a legal requirement for years, but the stakes have increased recently. The European Accessibility Act came into force in June 2025, extending digital accessibility requirements to private companies across the EU. ADA litigation targeting digital properties has been climbing in the US for years. Healthcare teams are navigating Section 1557 of the ACA. Financial services firms face growing legal and regulatory pressure around accessible customer and investor communications. About 1.3 billion people globally live with some form of disability. An inaccessible send doesn't just shut out a significant portion of your audience from content, it also creates legal exposure. Moving the accessibility check to be a real-time assistant changes the workflow so accessibility flags issues the whole time a user is building, rather than being reserved for the end where critical requirements could be missed. Built on governed ground. Stensul already handles governance upstream: templates, locked modules, required fields, and approval logic configured before anyone starts building. Most compliance decisions happen before a creator opens a canvas. The Governance Agent sits at the next layer. The template already handles most of it, but the agent catches what's left, verifying that a governed system is held across every send. The final review step before a campaign ships is still manual at most companies, dependent on a final person to catch every error. Governance Agents are how that step becomes a governed process, prompting users throughout creation of errors that could get missed if they're left at the end. The Accessibility QA Check is available for all customers in the Stensul platform.

Stensul Unveils New Figma Plugin to Streamline Brand-Compliant Design for Enterprise Email Creation

Stensul unveils new Figma Plugin to streamline brand-compliant design for enterprise email creation. Announced at Dreamforce 2025, the Stensul - Figma Plugin eliminates creative and operational bottlenecks across the campaign creation lifecycle SAN FRANCISCO-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Stensul, the Campaign Creation Platform for enterprise marketing teams, today announced new functionality designed to eliminate a key source of friction in the enterprise email creation process: turning designs into brand-compliant emails. First announced at Dreamforce 2025, the company is launching an all-new Stensul - Figma Plugin that will allow creative teams to quickly generate email designs that adhere to established brand guidelines. By embedding Stensul's enterprise-grade guardrails directly into Figma, email standards are built into the design process from the start. This helps designers deliver high-quality, brand-compliant outputs faster, with fewer revisions and less rework required for marketing operations teams. "Stensul exists to speed up the campaign creation process, so teams can produce high-quality work with less friction and frustration," said Noah Dinkin, Founder and CEO of Stensul. "For many companies, a key bottleneck in this process lies at the intersection of creative and operations teams. Designers build emails visually in Figma, then hand off those design files and instructions to coding or operations teams, who then spend hours reconstructing those Figma designs into actual, coded html emails that can be deployed. Any change often triggers rounds of rework, resulting in costly delays. With the new Stensul - Figma Plugin, creatives can continue to design emails visually in Figma, and the plugin automatically brings those brand-compliant designs into Stensul. The step of manually recreating email designs into html is eliminated. The whole process moves faster." Stensul Delivers Innovation to Accelerate Enterprise Campaign Creation With the new Figma Plugin, Stensul continues to realize its vision as the leading governance-enabled Campaign Creation Platform for enterprises, empowering cross-functional teams to produce high-quality, multi-asset campaigns, at scale. Stensul is committed to deeply understanding the challenges that enterprises face today, and is investing in solutions that make campaign creation faster, easier, and more collaborative. Recent product updates, such as the expanded capabilities of our Landing Page Builder and AI-powered Email Builder, reflect the company's ongoing commitment to delivering the innovation and functionality that modern marketing teams need to be successful.
