What is ClickFunnels?

ClickFunnels is closing its measurement gap: which funnel earned the sale, step by step.

ClickFunnels is spending its releases on attribution and reporting rather than new selling surfaces. Orders can now be filtered by the funnel that produced the payment, the Opt-ins tab records every opt-in a contact submits with the funnel step that captured it, and funnel sales totals roll all order types into one figure with longer date ranges. Alongside that, Under Attack Mode gained a Strong tier aimed squarely at card-testing bots.

What is SendPortal?

SendPortal resurfaces with a v4 patch release, its first tag since 2020.

SendPortal's last tagged release before this month was v1.0.3 in July 2020. On October 22 it published v4.0.0.1, which fixes sp:install skipping migrations on fresh installs and a route-caching failure from a duplicate logout route. The changelog link implies a v4.0.0 release just before it, which isn't in the tracked entries.

5.0

ClickFunnels is closing its measurement gap: which funnel earned the sale, step by step.

◆ Current state

ClickFunnels is spending its releases on attribution and reporting rather than new selling surfaces. Orders can now be filtered by the funnel that produced the payment, the Opt-ins tab records every opt-in a contact submits with the funnel step that captured it, and funnel sales totals roll all order types into one figure with longer date ranges. Alongside that, Under Attack Mode gained a Strong tier aimed squarely at card-testing bots.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is turning a page builder into something a marketer can audit. Each release answers a question an operator was previously exporting data to answer — which funnel is profitable, where in the step sequence people convert, what a funnel earned all-time. A parallel push widens API coverage over workflows, filters, and community so integrations and the agents built on them can reach more of the product.

◆ Prediction

Reporting is likely to keep consolidating into comparative views — funnel-versus-funnel and per-step conversion built on the attribution data these releases started capturing. The entries do not indicate whether that becomes a distinct analytics surface or stays layered onto the existing index pages.

2.5

SendPortal resurfaces with a v4 patch release, its first tag since 2020.

◆ Current state

SendPortal's last tagged release before this month was v1.0.3 in July 2020. On October 22 it published v4.0.0.1, which fixes sp:install skipping migrations on fresh installs and a route-caching failure from a duplicate logout route. The changelog link implies a v4.0.0 release just before it, which isn't in the tracked entries.

◆ Where it's heading

A major version followed by fixes to the installer suggests the project is active again and new installs are being tested. With two tagged releases six years apart, there's no cadence to read yet.

◆ Prediction

If v4 is a real revival, more point releases should follow within weeks; another long silence would mean v4 was a one-off.
