What is Corteza?

Corteza 2026.9.0 goes final after a week of single-fix candidates.

Corteza shipped 2026.9.0 on October 19, closing a run of release candidates that each fixed one edge: MySQL 8 cast checks in rc.4, deny rules in permission reports in rc.5 and MySQL-compatible reminder timestamps in rc.6. The release entry only links to the 2026.9 changelog. Before this, the feed was a slow patch train on the 2024.9 line, ending at 2024.9.10 in late August.

What is Weflow?

Weflow is moving its reporting inside Salesforce rather than asking reps to leave it.

A five-item release on 3 August is the substance of this window, and most of it lands in Salesforce rather than in Weflow. The new Weflow Advanced Analytics managed package builds activity analytics natively in the customer's own CRM without consuming API calls for reporting, covering company-wide activity trends, duplicate detection, and orphaned accounts. Its companion Activity Timeline drops in as a lightning component on any page. Ask AI reached the Chrome extension, so it can be triggered from a record sidebar or the extension search anywhere on the web, and a month earlier it gained stricter access guardrails, a faster model, and a 40% processing speed improvement.

Corteza vs Weflow: editorial side-by-side

C5.0

Corteza 2026.9.0 goes final after a week of single-fix candidates.

◆ Current state

Corteza shipped 2026.9.0 on October 19, closing a run of release candidates that each fixed one edge: MySQL 8 cast checks in rc.4, deny rules in permission reports in rc.5 and MySQL-compatible reminder timestamps in rc.6. The release entry only links to the 2026.9 changelog. Before this, the feed was a slow patch train on the 2024.9 line, ending at 2024.9.10 in late August.

◆ Where it's heading

The jump from 2024.9 to 2026.9 opens a new major line after two years on the old one. Two of the final three fixes targeted MySQL, which suggests the release was validated across database backends. What the new line adds for users still isn't visible in the feed.

◆ Prediction

Expect 2026.9.x patch releases to follow the same pattern as 2024.9, with occasional fixes over months. Whether 2024.9 keeps receiving patches is unclear from the entries.

W6.3

Weflow is moving its reporting inside Salesforce rather than asking reps to leave it.

◆ Current state

A five-item release on 3 August is the substance of this window, and most of it lands in Salesforce rather than in Weflow. The new Weflow Advanced Analytics managed package builds activity analytics natively in the customer's own CRM without consuming API calls for reporting, covering company-wide activity trends, duplicate detection, and orphaned accounts. Its companion Activity Timeline drops in as a lightning component on any page. Ask AI reached the Chrome extension, so it can be triggered from a record sidebar or the extension search anywhere on the web, and a month earlier it gained stricter access guardrails, a faster model, and a 40% processing speed improvement.

◆ Where it's heading

Weflow is positioning itself as infrastructure inside Salesforce instead of a destination beside it. Activity capture already ran in the background; now the reporting on that capture lives in the customer's CRM under their own ownership, and the assistant is reachable from wherever the rep already is. The admin-console work — read-only mode granularity, custom object owner logging rules, email processing delay configuration — is the unglamorous half of the same idea, giving Salesforce admins control over what Weflow writes into their system.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Advanced Analytics package to accumulate more native components on the Activity Timeline pattern, since the point of a managed package is that additions arrive without Weflow touching the UI. Whether Ask AI gets write access rather than answering questions is not something these entries settle.
