What is Pushwoosh?
Pushwoosh journeys can now read what a webhook says back and act on it mid-run.
The current release batch is broad but coherent. Journeys gained the ability to consume webhook response data and use returned values to personalize later steps in the same run. Messaging coverage evened out across channels, with PW_SMSSent and PW_WhatsAppSent events matching what email already emitted, and one-time WhatsApp sends no longer requiring a journey. On the web side, subscription forms can be dropped into any popup as lead capture, form field labels are editable without code, and the popup editor and targeting both got more room to work.
What is ClickFunnels?
ClickFunnels is closing its measurement gap: which funnel earned the sale, step by step.
ClickFunnels is spending its releases on attribution and reporting rather than new selling surfaces. Orders can now be filtered by the funnel that produced the payment, the Opt-ins tab records every opt-in a contact submits with the funnel step that captured it, and funnel sales totals roll all order types into one figure with longer date ranges. Alongside that, Under Attack Mode gained a Strong tier aimed squarely at card-testing bots.

Pushwoosh
6.3MKT AUTO
Pushwoosh journeys can now read what a webhook says back and act on it mid-run.
◆ Current state
The current release batch is broad but coherent. Journeys gained the ability to consume webhook response data and use returned values to personalize later steps in the same run. Messaging coverage evened out across channels, with PW_SMSSent and PW_WhatsAppSent events matching what email already emitted, and one-time WhatsApp sends no longer requiring a journey. On the web side, subscription forms can be dropped into any popup as lead capture, form field labels are editable without code, and the popup editor and targeting both got more room to work.
◆ Where it's heading
Two things are being closed at once. The channel gap is narrowing — SMS and WhatsApp are being given the same event surface and standalone send path email has had, which makes them first-class for segmentation and triggering rather than journey-only endpoints. The bigger change is that journeys are becoming stateful against the outside world: a webhook step that can return a value into the run turns the journey builder from a sequencer into something closer to orchestration.
◆ Prediction
Now that webhook responses can feed a running journey, the natural extension is branching on those values and handling failure paths when the external call does not answer as expected. Expect the remaining email-only capabilities to keep arriving for SMS and WhatsApp until channel parity is complete.
ClickFunnels
5.0MKT AUTO
ClickFunnels is closing its measurement gap: which funnel earned the sale, step by step.
◆ Current state
ClickFunnels is spending its releases on attribution and reporting rather than new selling surfaces. Orders can now be filtered by the funnel that produced the payment, the Opt-ins tab records every opt-in a contact submits with the funnel step that captured it, and funnel sales totals roll all order types into one figure with longer date ranges. Alongside that, Under Attack Mode gained a Strong tier aimed squarely at card-testing bots.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is turning a page builder into something a marketer can audit. Each release answers a question an operator was previously exporting data to answer — which funnel is profitable, where in the step sequence people convert, what a funnel earned all-time. A parallel push widens API coverage over workflows, filters, and community so integrations and the agents built on them can reach more of the product.
◆ Prediction
Reporting is likely to keep consolidating into comparative views — funnel-versus-funnel and per-step conversion built on the attribution data these releases started capturing. The entries do not indicate whether that becomes a distinct analytics surface or stays layered onto the existing index pages.
