Metricool's October update adds campaign goals, Instagram collab reporting and X support in Flows.
After weeks of blog-only entries, Metricool published its October product update. It adds goal-setting to Campaign Dashboards, collab content in the Instagram report, X support in Flows through the X add-on, more review and publish controls in the Planner, and more per-brand settings. The rest of the feed is still SEO content on paid ads and platform how-tos.
Saleshandy adds 7.7M people in October's Lead Finder refresh and reports on recent web flaws.
Saleshandy's recent releases center on Lead Finder: monthly data refreshes with published counts, ~8x faster contact reveals and CSV-based exclusion of contacts users already own. The October refresh added 7.7M people and updated 190M records, slightly below September's 8.08M and 249.8M. A separate post says the eMudhra key issue and the PHP and Node.js flaws did not affect accounts, and that services and servers were patched.

The shipped work leans toward agencies and teams running campaigns across many brands: goals per campaign, per-brand settings and review steps before posts go out. Creator collabs getting their own reporting suggests influencer work is becoming a tracked line item rather than a side activity.
Expect more approval and multi-brand workflow controls in the Planner and Flows, released in monthly roundups. The blog will keep carrying paid-ads comparisons between those roundups.

Lead Finder is becoming the product's core, with data freshness reported like a metric and features aimed at saving reveal credits. The security post continues a habit of plain-language customer communication seen in the monthly data updates.
Expect a November data refresh with published counts and more Lead Finder filtering or credit-saving features. The entries don't show new work on sequences or the dialer.
