Product Updates
2026

March 2026

SkyBeam AJAX Form Capture

Mar 1, 2026

SkyBeam now transparently captures AJAX and fetch-based form submissions at the edge, in addition to standard page navigation requests.

What's New:
  • AJAX POST/PUT Capture — Forms submitted via JavaScript fetch() or XMLHttpRequest are now intercepted and tracked at the edge
  • Per-Setting Control — Enable AJAX capture on individual event settings via the "Match AJAX Requests" toggle
  • Transparent Proxy — Original form submission flows through unchanged — users never see any difference
  • Automatic Deduplication — Built-in coordination with ClickBeam prevents double-counting when both systems are active
Impact:

Modern single-page applications using AJAX form submissions are now fully tracked by SkyBeam without any client-side code changes.

February 2026

Invoca Call Tracking Integration

Feb 2, 2026

New platform integration for Invoca call tracking. Match phone conversions back to original ad clicks for full-funnel attribution.

New Features:
  • Full Platform Integration — Invoca joins as the 10th advertising platform with auto-discovery, configuration, and optional Signal API
  • Webhook Receiver — Receives post-call webhooks from Invoca for automatic event creation
  • Session Linking — Phone calls are matched back to the original web session and ad click for complete attribution
  • Phone Call Event Type — New phone_call event type visible in Intelligence Dashboard
  • Phone Attribution — Opt-in forwarding of phone sales to ad platforms (Meta, Google Ads, etc.) as offline conversions
  • Easy Setup — Copy-ready webhook URL shown directly in platform configuration
How It Works:

Visitor clicks ad → lands on page with Invoca → calls later → Invoca webhook fires → Beam matches call to original session → phone sale inherits full attribution → optionally forwarded to ad platforms as offline conversion.

Data Integrity Update

Feb 26, 2026

Comprehensive audit and verification of all analytics metrics across the platform.

Verified:
  • Business Intelligence — All CAC, LTV, ROI, and cohort retention calculations now use real campaign data
  • Attribution Chains — Historical attribution data reflects actual customer touchpoints
  • Dashboard Metrics — Platform performance scores, customer journey data, and conversion funnels derived from verified data
  • Token Management — Platform API token operations (create, refresh, revoke) fully functional
  • Platform Validation — Configuration validation checks actual platform requirements
Impact:

Every metric displayed in the platform is now verified against real data. 539+ automated tests ensure ongoing accuracy.

Real-Time Event Monitor

New beam:live command provides real-time visibility into event flow.

Features:
  • Live event stream with attribution details and device information
  • Platform dispatch status for each event
  • Queue health statistics and processing rates
  • Session coordination verification (SkyBeam + ClickBeam)

Event Deduplication Improvement

Feb 21, 2026

Improved duplicate event prevention for page refreshes. Navigation-aware filtering ensures each user action is tracked exactly once, even when users refresh the page.

Queue Performance Optimization

Feb 4, 2026

Streamlined event processing architecture for faster platform delivery. Per-platform queue isolation ensures one slow platform API doesn't delay delivery to others.

December 2025

Value Attribution Dashboard

Dec 20, 2025

New ROI-focused dashboard showing which platforms and campaigns drive real revenue.

Features:
  • Hero Metrics — Total revenue, conversions, conversion rate, and average order value at a glance

  • Date Range Filtering — 7, 30, 90 days, or custom date ranges

Value Attribution API

November 2025

ClickBeam Installation Script Cleanup

Nov 14, 2025
