What is Pushwoosh?
Pushwoosh ships an MCP server and AI-powered segments — agents can now run the platform.
Two AI moves anchor the recent stream: a ManyMoney AI MCP server that lets Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf drive a Pushwoosh project end-to-end, and AI-powered segmentation built around natural-language prompts. Around them, Pushwoosh added Telegram as a Customer Journey channel, passkey sign-in, marketing-vs-transactional message typing, resend-to-non-openers, journey change history, custom tracking domains, and a redesigned billing page.
What is Mautic?
Mautic patches a SQL injection CVE across three release lines and previews 7.2 'Lynx' for the next major.
Mautic shipped coordinated security releases on May 28 fixing CVE-2026-4776, a SQL injection in API contact filtering, across 7.1.2, 6.0.9, and 5.2.11 — covering every supported branch. Days later the project posted the 7.2.0 'Lynx' Release Candidate, signaling the next minor is close. Cadence shows the steady volunteer-driven release rhythm typical of mature open-source marketing automation.

Pushwoosh
7.5MKT AUTO
Pushwoosh ships an MCP server and AI-powered segments — agents can now run the platform.
◆ Current state
Two AI moves anchor the recent stream: a ManyMoney AI MCP server that lets Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf drive a Pushwoosh project end-to-end, and AI-powered segmentation built around natural-language prompts. Around them, Pushwoosh added Telegram as a Customer Journey channel, passkey sign-in, marketing-vs-transactional message typing, resend-to-non-openers, journey change history, custom tracking domains, and a redesigned billing page.
◆ Where it's heading
Pushwoosh is doing two things in parallel — making the marketing surface AI-operable from outside the product (MCP) and inside it (NL segments) — while filling out the omnichannel orchestration story with Telegram, transactional toggles, and email-side conveniences. The platform is positioning itself as a backend that humans, internal automations, and external agents all act on equally.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP tool surfaces (campaign creation, journey publishing, analytics queries) plus AI assistance inside the journey builder itself — auto-design a journey from a goal description. Telegram is likely to be followed by additional regional channels like LINE or RCS to round out omnichannel.
Mautic
6.3MKT AUTO
Mautic patches a SQL injection CVE across three release lines and previews 7.2 'Lynx' for the next major.
◆ Current state
Mautic shipped coordinated security releases on May 28 fixing CVE-2026-4776, a SQL injection in API contact filtering, across 7.1.2, 6.0.9, and 5.2.11 — covering every supported branch. Days later the project posted the 7.2.0 'Lynx' Release Candidate, signaling the next minor is close. Cadence shows the steady volunteer-driven release rhythm typical of mature open-source marketing automation.
◆ Where it's heading
Mautic continues to maintain three release lines in parallel, which is unusual for a community OSS project and signals real production use across long-lived self-hosted deployments. The simultaneous CVE patches and the new RC suggest a maintainer cohort with bandwidth for both security response and forward feature work. The Lynx RC will likely shape the second half of 2026 for self-hosted marketing-automation deployments seeking a HubSpot/Marketo alternative.
◆ Prediction
Expect 7.2 GA within a month, followed by 7.1.x and 6.0.x bug-fix releases as Lynx changes percolate. The next visible move beyond patching will be community-led work on AI-assisted email content or segmentation, given the broader marketing-automation peer set is shipping those features.
