What is Saleshandy?
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.
What is SocialBee?
SocialBee retires category sequencing and Next Posts in its first product change in months.
After a summer of fixes for Threads, Pinterest and TikTok posting failures, SocialBee announced a scheduling overhaul rolling out over the coming weeks. Category Sequence and Random categories are being replaced by active categories, and the Next Posts view is being folded into Calendar and List views. A bug blocking deletion from the Content Categories page was fixed the same day.

Saleshandy
5.0MARKETING
Saleshandy adds 7.7M people in October's Lead Finder refresh and reports on recent web flaws.
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
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.
◆ Prediction
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.
SocialBee
5.0MARKETING
SocialBee retires category sequencing and Next Posts in its first product change in months.
◆ Current state
After a summer of fixes for Threads, Pinterest and TikTok posting failures, SocialBee announced a scheduling overhaul rolling out over the coming weeks. Category Sequence and Random categories are being replaced by active categories, and the Next Posts view is being folded into Calendar and List views. A bug blocking deletion from the Content Categories page was fixed the same day.
◆ Where it's heading
SocialBee is simplifying its category-based scheduling model rather than adding to it, consolidating views and removing modes. The promised biweekly, monthly and yearly recurrence suggests scheduling moves toward calendar-style rules instead of category queues.
◆ Prediction
Expect the recurring-schedule options announced for later this quarter to ship next; the entries don't show anything beyond scheduling.
