Soundcloud Block

For example:
https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1253913319&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false
that is put into former platform will not work.

You need to

a) see if you could use a new sharing url, for example:
https://soundcloud.com/workdaysc/elevating-the-employee-experience-with-mobile (and add utms if you want to)
b) you need to copy and paste the iframe into the Custom HTML block to make it work. (This is how its done in former platform as well but you didn’t have to put in all code around the iframe)

Verse

This is a strange one – no need. But would be fun to see Microsofts poems or Foundry song lyrics… Anyway a famous Haiku – “The Old Pond” by Matsuo Bashō:

An old silent pond

A frog jumps into the pond—

Splash! Silence again.
