What is MailBeez?

MailBeez V5 arrives with a redesigned workspace, dark mode and V5-ready modules.

MailBeez is an email-marketing plugin for Zen Cart and similar shops. After weeks of 4.9.99 patches and module compatibility updates, V5 shipped with V5.0.1 on November 11: a redesigned workspace with clearer insights, dark mode and simpler navigation, plus V5 support across opt-out, web view, bounce handling, review importers and throttling modules.

What is 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.

MailBeez V5 arrives with a redesigned workspace, dark mode and V5-ready modules.

◆ Current state

MailBeez is an email-marketing plugin for Zen Cart and similar shops. After weeks of 4.9.99 patches and module compatibility updates, V5 shipped with V5.0.1 on November 11: a redesigned workspace with clearer insights, dark mode and simpler navigation, plus V5 support across opt-out, web view, bounce handling, review importers and throttling modules.

◆ Where it's heading

The V5 rewrite that started with the September addon wave and the MAIA assistant is now the default experience. Releases should shift from compatibility work toward features built on the new workspace.

◆ Prediction

Expect quick 5.0.x fix releases and further modules gaining V5 support; whether MAIA gets deeper use in the new workspace is not yet clear from the entries.

Pushwoosh is wiring itself into the storefront it used to just message

◆ Current state

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.

◆ Where it's heading

Two projects are converging. The channel-parity work is close to finished, with SMS and WhatsApp now carrying the events, standalone sends and attribution that email had. The newer and more consequential one is commerce: having added a Product Catalog, Pushwoosh is now collecting the storefront behaviour that catalog is meant to act on and reporting revenue back per product. That gives it the ingest, the data and the measurement for the commerce loop rather than only the send step in the middle of it. Journey conditions are meanwhile shifting from fixed comparisons toward per-user relative ones.

◆ Prediction

With storefront events arriving and catalog data in place, triggered abandoned-cart and browse-abandonment journeys built on those events are the obvious next assembly. Expect the Shopify path to be generalised to other storefronts, since the catalog feed formats already are.
