Bitrix24's blog explains MCP for small teams; still no product releases.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Groundhogg and IntegCRM — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Groundhogg 4.10 ends a year of quiet with a phone app, AI setup and dark mode.
Groundhogg is a WordPress CRM and marketing automation plugin whose visible releases centre on its flow editor and broadcasts. After 4.2.6 in October 2025, the feed was quiet for a year until 4.10 on October 30, 2026, which lets users install the CRM on a phone, connect ChatGPT or Claude in a few clicks, and switch the admin to dark mode.
IntegCRM adds document folders, turning back to client records after two email releases.
IntegCRM ships roughly one feature a month across invoices, bookings, forms and marketing email. The newest release lets users organize a client's documents into folders, after a pre-send spam check and mobile view controls in the email builder. The posts are headline-only with category tags, so the depth of each change is not visible.

The 4.10 release moves beyond the flow editor toward access from anywhere and AI assistants connected to the CRM. Versions 4.3 to 4.9 are missing from the feed, so the steps in between are not visible.
Expect follow-up 4.10.x releases around the AI connection and mobile app; the feed's gaps make the cadence hard to predict.
IntegCRM ships roughly one feature a month across invoices, bookings, forms and marketing email. The newest release lets users organize a client's documents into folders, after a pre-send spam check and mobile view controls in the email builder. The posts are headline-only with category tags, so the depth of each change is not visible.
The recent run of releases points at email marketing as the active build area, after a year spent on invoicing and bookings. Back-to-back email-builder releases suggest IntegCRM wants campaigns to work inside the CRM without a separate email tool.
More email-builder work looks likely, plausibly deliverability or campaign reporting, though the headline-only changelog makes the specifics hard to call.
