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.
Umbraco 19 reaches its first release candidate on .NET 11 GA.
Umbraco 19.0.0-rc1 arrived on 12 November, two weeks after the first beta, and moves the release onto .NET 11 GA. The beta brought reusable Library content to every block editor and search into core; rc1 adds Entra ID SQL authentication, action groups in menus, an API switch that lets code block schema changes per environment, and a fix that admits one request per process into the content write path on load-balanced sites. The 18.3 and 17.8 candidates are still on rc2, which resolved seven security advisories.

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.
Umbraco 19.0.0-rc1 arrived on 12 November, two weeks after the first beta, and moves the release onto .NET 11 GA. The beta brought reusable Library content to every block editor and search into core; rc1 adds Entra ID SQL authentication, action groups in menus, an API switch that lets code block schema changes per environment, and a fix that admits one request per process into the content write path on load-balanced sites. The 18.3 and 17.8 candidates are still on rc2, which resolved seven security advisories.
The 19 cycle is moving quickly from beta to candidate, and rc1 is about hardening rather than new editor features: dependencies on GA, environment-level permissions and load-balancing performance. The 17 and 18 lines are kept in step on security fixes while 19 matures.
Expect 18.3 and 17.8 to go stable, followed by further 19 release candidates and a 19.0.0 stable release built on .NET 11.
