What is Pushwoosh?
Pushwoosh is wiring itself into the storefront it used to just message
The dated August batch gave SMS and WhatsApp the send events and standalone send path email already had, and let journeys consume webhook response data mid-run. A larger undated wave has landed since, and it points somewhere else: Shopify storefront event tracking pulls product views, add-to-cart and checkout steps in through the theme embed, YML joins the Product Catalog feed formats, and per-product clicks and revenue now appear in email statistics. Journey logic also grew more relative, with Condition split able to compare two attributes on the same user and to filter dates by days ago or ahead.
What is Gumloop?
Gumloop 13.6 gives admins one set of rules for every tool an agent touches.
Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days. 13.0 rebuilt the agent harness, 13.3 published agents to Okta, 13.4 cut agent tokens per step by about 40% and 13.5 added live multi-user tasks. 13.6 extends admin guardrails from connectors to every tool, redacts card numbers and passwords before models see them, warns when agent instructions contain credentials, adds browser allow and block lists and domain-restricted API keys, and introduces Workforce Atlas, a board of every agent and skill in the organization.

Pushwoosh is wiring itself into the storefront it used to just message
◆ Current state
The dated August batch gave SMS and WhatsApp the send events and standalone send path email already had, and let journeys consume webhook response data mid-run. A larger undated wave has landed since, and it points somewhere else: Shopify storefront event tracking pulls product views, add-to-cart and checkout steps in through the theme embed, YML joins the Product Catalog feed formats, and per-product clicks and revenue now appear in email statistics. Journey logic also grew more relative, with Condition split able to compare two attributes on the same user and to filter dates by days ago or ahead.
◆ Where it's heading
Two projects are converging. The channel-parity work is close to finished, with SMS and WhatsApp now carrying the events, standalone sends and attribution that email had. The newer and more consequential one is commerce: having added a Product Catalog, Pushwoosh is now collecting the storefront behaviour that catalog is meant to act on and reporting revenue back per product. That gives it the ingest, the data and the measurement for the commerce loop rather than only the send step in the middle of it. Journey conditions are meanwhile shifting from fixed comparisons toward per-user relative ones.
◆ Prediction
With storefront events arriving and catalog data in place, triggered abandoned-cart and browse-abandonment journeys built on those events are the obvious next assembly. Expect the Shopify path to be generalised to other storefronts, since the catalog feed formats already are.
Gumloop
6.3MKT AUTO
Gumloop 13.6 gives admins one set of rules for every tool an agent touches.
◆ Current state
Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days. 13.0 rebuilt the agent harness, 13.3 published agents to Okta, 13.4 cut agent tokens per step by about 40% and 13.5 added live multi-user tasks. 13.6 extends admin guardrails from connectors to every tool, redacts card numbers and passwords before models see them, warns when agent instructions contain credentials, adds browser allow and block lists and domain-restricted API keys, and introduces Workforce Atlas, a board of every agent and skill in the organization.
◆ Where it's heading
Since 13.2 the releases have moved from what agents can do toward how a company controls them. 13.6 is the broadest step yet: approval rules, data redaction and secret handling now cover all agent activity, which is what security teams ask for before a wide rollout.
◆ Prediction
Expect Workforce Atlas to leave beta with more tags and reporting, and more enterprise controls such as audit exports built on the new guardrail records.
