What Shipped in October 2026

October brings three upgrades that shorten the path from comment to customer: interactive lead capture blocks on your storefront, smoother booking management, and reliability fixes across the automation engine. Everything below is live in your dashboard now.


Lead Capture Blocks on Your Storefront

You can now drop an interactive lead capture block directly into any storefront page. A follower who lands from your DM sees a focused email capture moment instead of a generic contact form, and every submission is delivered to your inbox automatically.

Who it helps: creators running free PDFs, waitlists, and workshop signups through Instagram DMs.

How to switch it on: open your storefront editor, add the lead capture block where the traffic lands, and connect the delivery email. Pair it with a comment-to-DM campaign using a keyword like GUIDE so commenters flow straight into the capture.


Booking Management Upgrades

Managing calls gets quieter this month: rescheduling, availability reads, and reminder handling were reworked so double-bookings and stale slots stop slipping through. If you sell discovery calls or 1-on-1 coaching from your content, check the booking guides for the full playbook.

Who it helps: coaches and service sellers booking calls from reels and stories.

How to switch it on: nothing to configure. Open your bookings view and the improved flows are already there.


Automation Reliability Fixes

The automation engine picked up a round of fixes around media handling, activity logging, and webhook recovery, so campaigns keep firing cleanly while a post is going viral. If you have not reviewed your safety margins lately, read the automation safety guides next.


How to Get These Updates

All three changes are live. Open your dashboard, look for the lead capture block in the storefront editor, and review one active campaign against the safety checklist. For the running list of every release, bookmark the updates page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to update anything to get the October 2026 changes?

No. The lead capture block, booking upgrades, and reliability fixes are live in your dashboard. Just add the lead capture block to the storefront pages where your DM traffic lands.

Where do captured leads go?

Each submission is stored with your audience and delivered to your inbox email automatically, so you can follow up or import the list into your email tool.

Where can I follow future releases?

Bookmark the updates page for the running changelog, and watch the product updates collection for plain-language explainers of each release.
