Saleshandy halves the API price of profiles and allows same-day multichannel follow-ups.
Saleshandy combines a cold outreach sequencer with its Lead Finder prospect database. Two November releases touch both halves: sequence steps can now be spaced in hours and minutes, so email, WhatsApp and call tasks can run the same day, and the Open API returns people profiles without an email reveal at 0.5 credit per row.
RewardsWP now collects product reviews from inside its rewards widget.
RewardsWP lets customers review purchased products from the rewards widget and shows the points they will earn before they write, on every plan. Last week it added product exclusions from points and discounts. October connected AffiliateWP and RewardsWP to AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, and VIP Tiers arrived for RewardsWP Pro.

Two November releases touch both halves: sequence steps can now be spaced in hours and minutes, so email, WhatsApp and call tasks can run the same day, and the Open API returns people profiles without an email reveal at 0.5 credit per row.
Lead Finder is turning into a data product sold beyond the app, with monthly refreshes, CSV exclusions and now cheaper API access for CRM enrichment. The sequencer is moving toward multichannel cadences where WhatsApp and calls sit next to email.
Expect more Open API endpoints or pricing tiers for Lead Finder data, and the November data refresh post around late month.
RewardsWP lets customers review purchased products from the rewards widget and shows the points they will earn before they write, on every plan. Last week it added product exclusions from points and discounts. October connected AffiliateWP and RewardsWP to AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, and VIP Tiers arrived for RewardsWP Pro.
RewardsWP is getting the bulk of the shipping, widening from points into reviews and controls that store owners would otherwise need separate plugins for. AffiliateWP's payout work from the summer has gone quiet since the August bank payouts.
Expect RewardsWP to keep adding earning actions inside the widget; the entries give no sign of the next AffiliateWP feature.
