Saleshandy adds native CRM automation, eliminating Zapier for outbound teams.
Saleshandy has expanded from an email sequence tool into a multi-channel outbound platform with a built-in dialer, click-to-call Chrome extension, CSV enrichment, personal email discovery, and email infrastructure provisioning. The Lead Finder database refreshes monthly at a scale of hundreds of millions of records. Contact lookups now resolve in 2–5 seconds, down from 20–40. The platform covers email, calls, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp under one roof.
Umbraco runs parallel release candidates across v13, v17, and v18, with both current tracks approaching their next minor GA.
Umbraco is running a steady cadence of release candidates across three active version tracks: v13 (LTS), v17 (current stable), and v18 (latest). The visible changes are mostly dependency updates and targeted bug fixes. The installer connection string fix — writing to the correct appsettings.*.json fallback — appears across both the v17 and v18 RCs, indicating a shared backport.

The platform covers email, calls, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp under one roof.
Saleshandy is systematically eliminating the external tools that outbound teams bolt onto email automation: first the dialer (removing the need for a separate calling tool), then email infrastructure (removing the need for separate domain/mailbox provisioning), and now native CRM automation (removing the need for Zapier or Make). Each addition increases switching costs and broadens the platform's claim to own the full outbound workflow, not just the sending layer.
The next likely move is deeper AI involvement — Sage AI already applies search filters in Lead Finder, and the natural extension is AI-generated sequence steps or reply handling. A LinkedIn native integration (currently listed but not detailed) would be the other gap worth watching.

The parallel RC activity across v17 and v18 suggests both tracks are close to minor GA releases. The v18 track removed the @hey-api/openapi-ts dependency from the login module, a sign of ongoing internal housekeeping as the v18 API surface stabilizes. No large feature work is visible in recent entries; this is a stabilization and maintenance phase.
v18.2.0 and v17.7.0 will ship to stable shortly after the RC cycle, with v18 continuing to accumulate UX and developer experience improvements while v17 and v13 receive security and compatibility maintenance.
