What is Saleshandy?
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.
What is Open Web Analytics?
Open Web Analytics 1.14.7 ships unspecified security fixes and a field-clearing command.
Open Web Analytics is a self-hosted web analytics tool. Release 1.14.7 includes security fixes it does not describe, recommends upgrading, needs no schema changes and adds a clear-field-values CLI command with a dry-run mode. It follows a run of 1.14 patches that closed cross-site record access, restored heatmaps broken since 1.10.1 and 1.13.0, and fixed relative date periods that covered the wrong days.

Saleshandy
5.0MARKETING
Saleshandy halves the API price of profiles and allows same-day multichannel follow-ups.
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
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.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Open API endpoints or pricing tiers for Lead Finder data, and the November data refresh post around late month.
Open Web Analytics
5.0MARKETING
Open Web Analytics 1.14.7 ships unspecified security fixes and a field-clearing command.
◆ Current state
Open Web Analytics is a self-hosted web analytics tool. Release 1.14.7 includes security fixes it does not describe, recommends upgrading, needs no schema changes and adds a clear-field-values CLI command with a dry-run mode. It follows a run of 1.14 patches that closed cross-site record access, restored heatmaps broken since 1.10.1 and 1.13.0, and fixed relative date periods that covered the wrong days.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.14 line is cleanup after the large 1.11 to 1.13 rework (date partitioning, a job scheduler, custom reports and new admin URLs), with fixes landing every few days. The 1.13.0 notes describe it as preparation for a 2.0 branch, so the patch stream is clearing debt before that.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 1.14.x patches for regressions and access checks. The entries say a 2.0 branch is coming but give no date or scope.
