AcyMailing vs Formaloo: at a glance
What is AcyMailing?
AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.
What is Formaloo?
Formaloo lets you bring your own form UI, and opens a door in from ChatGPT and Claude
Formaloo runs a monthly release train that has been steadily converting a form builder into a workspace platform: portals with domain-restricted signup, workspace Themes, teams, timezone-consistent records, board voting. July's Magic Logic release moved rule authoring from configuration to description. The latest entry opens two surfaces the product did not have: forms whose UI you build yourself with submissions still kept in Formaloo, and project creation started from inside ChatGPT or Claude, plus private AI analysis and automated scoring and assignment. That entry is a teaser of roughly two hundred characters, so its direction is legible but its scope is not.

AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
◆ Current state
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the 11.0 security rework in July, AcyMailing's releases alternate between privacy features and fixes for flaws in how subscriber actions are authorized. 11.1.2 shows the 11.0 rework left gaps in the subscription paths, now patched with ownership checks and security tokens.
◆ Prediction
A security advisory with full details is promised once users have had time to update, and further 11.1.x patches are likely as those details invite scrutiny of related code paths.

Formaloo lets you bring your own form UI, and opens a door in from ChatGPT and Claude
◆ Current state
Formaloo runs a monthly release train that has been steadily converting a form builder into a workspace platform: portals with domain-restricted signup, workspace Themes, teams, timezone-consistent records, board voting. July's Magic Logic release moved rule authoring from configuration to description. The latest entry opens two surfaces the product did not have: forms whose UI you build yourself with submissions still kept in Formaloo, and project creation started from inside ChatGPT or Claude, plus private AI analysis and automated scoring and assignment. That entry is a teaser of roughly two hundred characters, so its direction is legible but its scope is not.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI thread has changed shape. Magic Logic and the Update Record action both put more capability inside Formaloo's own editor; this release instead loosens Formaloo's hold on where the work starts and what renders it. If forms no longer require Formaloo's interface, the product's centre moves from the builder to the submission store, the workflow engine and the analysis on top — which is consistent with the platform thread that has been replacing per-form configuration with workspace-level systems for months. The assistant entry point points the same way: the dashboard stops being the only front door.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next cycles to say what the headless path actually is — an API, an embed, or a component library — since the teaser names the capability without naming a mechanism, and to extend the assistant integration past project creation toward the logic and analysis surfaces Magic Logic already automates. On this feed's evidence alone the scope of either is not yet readable.
