About Pushwoosh
Pushwoosh is wiring itself into the storefront it used to just message
The dated August batch gave SMS and WhatsApp the send events and standalone send path email already had, and let journeys consume webhook response data mid-run. A larger undated wave has landed since, and it points somewhere else: Shopify storefront event tracking pulls product views, add-to-cart and checkout steps in through the theme embed, YML joins the Product Catalog feed formats, and per-product clicks and revenue now appear in email statistics. Journey logic also grew more relative, with Condition split able to compare two attributes on the same user and to filter dates by days ago or ahead.
