What is Omnisend?

Omnisend is quietly rebuilding itself around the agencies that run its stores.

Omnisend remains an ecommerce email and SMS automation platform, but the visible work has shifted to the Partner Portal: templated accounts, access management, and workflow copying across accounts. Alongside that, segmentation gained Total Spent and AOV filters, and a Blotout EdgeTag integration adds server-side event capture for automations that browser pixels miss. The core campaign builder is stable; the surrounding operator layer is where the changes are landing.

What is Pimcore?

Pimcore 2026.3.3.1 tightens the Twig sandbox again, two days after 2026.3.3.

Pimcore's 2026.3 line is in a security-heavy patch cycle: 2026.3.3.1 restricts what the Twig sandbox can reach (the request object and pimcore_dump), two days after 2026.3.3 fixed a Custom Reports SQL-denylist bypass and object injection. 2026.3.2 had already patched an earlier Twig sandbox bypass.

Omnisend is quietly rebuilding itself around the agencies that run its stores.

◆ Current state

Omnisend remains an ecommerce email and SMS automation platform, but the visible work has shifted to the Partner Portal: templated accounts, access management, and workflow copying across accounts. Alongside that, segmentation gained Total Spent and AOV filters, and a Blotout EdgeTag integration adds server-side event capture for automations that browser pixels miss. The core campaign builder is stable; the surrounding operator layer is where the changes are landing.

◆ Where it's heading

The Partner Portal releases stack into a coherent argument: build once, replicate across client stores. Templated accounts, cross-account workflow copying, and per-member access control are the three pieces an agency needs to run dozens of merchants without rebuilding each one. Read together, Omnisend is moving from a single-store SMB tool toward a platform operated on behalf of merchants rather than by them.

◆ Prediction

Expect the agency layer to keep filling in — cross-client reporting or billing roll-ups are the obvious gaps once templating and access control exist. The segmentation and tracking work suggests a parallel push on data fidelity, but the entries don't yet show which of the two gets priority.

5.0

Pimcore 2026.3.3.1 tightens the Twig sandbox again, two days after 2026.3.3.

◆ Current state

Pimcore's 2026.3 line is in a security-heavy patch cycle: 2026.3.3.1 restricts what the Twig sandbox can reach (the request object and pimcore_dump), two days after 2026.3.3 fixed a Custom Reports SQL-denylist bypass and object injection. 2026.3.2 had already patched an earlier Twig sandbox bypass.

◆ Where it's heading

Every 2026.3 patch since 2026.3.1 has carried security fixes, and the Twig sandbox has now been hardened twice. Feature work has paused after the 2026.3.0 workflow extension slots, and the weekly patches are going to template and reporting surfaces that admins expose to editors.

◆ Prediction

Expect more weekly 2026.3.x patches with advisories on template and reporting surfaces before any 2026.4 feature release.
