What is Mailjet?
Mailjet is publishing deliverability compliance guidance, and little else.
A low-cadence blog — ten posts spanning eight months — weighted toward authentication and regulatory change rather than product. The substantive entries are two treatments of the CNIL and Garante tracking-pixel guidance in France and Italy, and a DMARC post that states a real product default: Mailjet is DKIM-first. The rest is competitive migration content, a platform comparison still labelled 2025, and research published under the sibling Mailgun brand.
What is Statusbrew?
Rules can now fire on a specific field changing, not just "post updated".
Statusbrew added a Post Field Changed trigger to both Publishing Rules and Post Monitoring Rules, letting a rule fire when a named property changes — tags, status, or a custom field — with conditions combinable through OR/AND logic. Previously triggers were limited to broad lifecycle events like post updated or post approved; the release notes compare the new model directly to how Notion and Asana handle property-based triggers. The rest of the window is the usual per-network parity grind: refreshable ad account access, warnings when Instagram drops @mentions or collaborators, identification of non-previewable media in Engage, spam and bot filters on Engage rules, and a run of bug fixes.

Mailjet
2.5MARKETING
Mailjet is publishing deliverability compliance guidance, and little else.
◆ Current state
A low-cadence blog — ten posts spanning eight months — weighted toward authentication and regulatory change rather than product. The substantive entries are two treatments of the CNIL and Garante tracking-pixel guidance in France and Italy, and a DMARC post that states a real product default: Mailjet is DKIM-first. The rest is competitive migration content, a platform comparison still labelled 2025, and research published under the sibling Mailgun brand.
◆ Where it's heading
The positioning is compliance-and-deliverability first, which is the pitch of an infrastructure sender rather than a campaign tool — the transactional-plus-marketing post argues exactly that, against teams running two platforms. The Mailchimp migration guide and the comparison roundup point at where Mailjet expects to win customers: cost and consolidation, not features. Nothing in the window describes a shipped capability.
◆ Prediction
More regulatory response content is the safest read, since two of the last ten posts already cover the same EU pixel guidance; on product direction this source is silent and a release feed would be needed.

5.0MARKETING
Rules can now fire on a specific field changing, not just "post updated".
◆ Current state
Statusbrew added a Post Field Changed trigger to both Publishing Rules and Post Monitoring Rules, letting a rule fire when a named property changes — tags, status, or a custom field — with conditions combinable through OR/AND logic. Previously triggers were limited to broad lifecycle events like post updated or post approved; the release notes compare the new model directly to how Notion and Asana handle property-based triggers. The rest of the window is the usual per-network parity grind: refreshable ad account access, warnings when Instagram drops @mentions or collaborators, identification of non-previewable media in Engage, spam and bot filters on Engage rules, and a run of bug fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
Automation is becoming the product's centre of gravity. Rules have moved outward from notifications into publishing control, and the trigger vocabulary is being rebuilt around post properties rather than lifecycle events, which is what makes conditional approval routing expressible at all. Everything else on the feed is defensive engineering against social platform APIs that change underneath it — the Instagram warnings in particular are the product telling users what the network silently dropped.
◆ Prediction
Expect the property-based trigger family to reach Conversations and Channels rules, which the notes explicitly say it cannot yet be combined with.
