SDK Updates
CLI Integrations Commands – The Outlit CLI now supports integrations management commands for listing, adding, removing, and checking the status of integrations, with separate API-key and OAuth connection flows.
Agent Skill Setup in CLI – Added outlit setup skills and related doctor checks so agent skills can be installed and verified more easily during setup.

Outlit Changelog - Early March 2026
Outlit's early-March 2026 release brings a new internal backoffice, richer Slack and Pylon workflows, stronger PostHog ingestion reliability, and SDK fixes for hash-routed apps and ingest retries.
New Features
Pylon Integration – Introduced Pylon support with ticket syncing, AI processing, and stronger backfill/customer resolution for support workflows.
Slack Connect Expansion – Added Slack Connect channel backfill with batch fact extraction, public Slack Connect channel auto-join, and weekly report channel overrides.
Insights Surface Updates – Added /insights to navigation, shipped finding detail pages, and attached agent findings/insights directly in the customers table.
SDK Updates
Browser Path Extraction Reliability – Improved path extraction for hash-routed apps and prevented anchor hashes from being treated as route paths.
Node SDK Flush Stability – Stopped flush retry loops on non-retryable ingest errors to reduce noisy retry behavior.
Dependency & Release Packaging Cleanup – Replaced workspace:* published dependency ranges with concrete versions and cut new package versions.
Improvements
PostHog Backfill Pipeline Hardening – Expanded backfill job tracking/progress, switched to Query API + batch queue processing, and tightened cursor/retry/idempotency behavior.
Event Path Normalization Across Platforms – Normalized event paths for Electron and hash-routed apps to improve consistency in downstream analytics.
Onboarding & Platform Operations – Added a dedicated API Keys settings page and improved churn review queue filtering.
Bug Fixes
Fixed Slack ingestion edge cases by quickly acknowledging forwarded events and deduplicating by event ID.
Fixed calendar external ID overflow.
Fixed PostHog contact resolution issues, including whitespace-only email handling and preserving original event names through the pipeline.
Fixed duplicate customer activity creation from repeated SDK ingestion.
Fixed integration UX regressions by restoring connect-flow toast feedback and surfacing clearer PostHog validation errors.
Outlit Changelog - Late February 2026
Outlit's late-February 2026 update adds Fireflies transcript syncing, richer context indexing and search tooling, onboarding and customer-table UX upgrades, and browser SDK stability fixes.
New Features
Fireflies.ai Integration – Added real-time transcript syncing so meeting transcripts can flow directly into Outlit for downstream analysis and customer context.
Customer Context Indexing Pipeline – Shipped an expanded context indexing pipeline with improved extraction and tracing, plus support for occurred-before/after filtering through context search.
PostHog Historical Backfill – Added support for historical PostHog event backfills to improve historical coverage for newly connected workspaces.
SDK Updates
Duplicate Instance Shutdown Fixes – Improved browser SDK shutdown handling by clearing duplicate-instance sentinels and cleaning up exit listeners.
MCP Docs Refresh – Updated SDK-facing MCP setup docs, including install command guidance and Codex MCP setup instructions.
Improvements
Onboarding UX – Added a skip button to the onboarding installation flow for faster setup paths.
Customers Table Status Filter – Added a status filter to the customers table with localStorage persistence and optimistic archive behavior.
Integration Cards Redesign – Refreshed integration cards with a more cohesive card layout.
Bug Fixes
Fixed bulk contact resolution to correctly accumulate PostHog identifiers.
Fixed context search and MCP tool consistency issues, including customer optionality and filter handling.
Outlit Changelog - Mid-February 2026
Outlit's mid-February 2026 update adds a Slack bot with AI fact extraction, Clerk authentication integration, SDK consent management, agent-assisted SDK setup, and MCP security improvements.
New Features
Slack Bot – @mention Outlit in any Slack channel to ask questions about your customers. The bot streams responses directly in-thread, with full access to your customer data, timelines, and revenue metrics via the same tools powering the MCP server.
Fact Extraction – Outlit now passively listens to your Slack conversations and uses AI to automatically extract customer facts — feature requests, pain points, product feedback, sentiment signals, and more. Facts are categorized, linked to the right customer profiles and contacts, and stored as structured evidence so nothing slips through the cracks.
Clerk Authentication Integration – Connect Clerk to import your existing users and organizations as customers, just like Stripe and Supabase. Available from the customers page.
Agent-Assisted SDK Setup – Setting up the Outlit SDK is now guided entirely by an installable agent skill. The onboarding flow and tracking settings page point users to install the skill, which handles framework-specific setup through your AI assistant. Manual installation tabs have been removed in favor of this streamlined experience.
MCP Skill Recommendations – The MCP integration settings page now recommends installing Outlit agent skills for better query guidance and best practices when using AI assistants.
SDK Updates
Consent Management & disableTracking() – New privacy-first API for managing user consent. Call disableTracking() to immediately stop all tracking, flush pending events, and persist the consent state across sessions. Available in React hooks, Vue composables, the singleton API, and the CDN script.
Client Prop for OutlitProvider – Pass a pre-configured Outlit client instance directly to the React OutlitProvider via a new client prop, matching PostHog's provider pattern. When provided, the provider skips creating a new instance and the caller owns the lifecycle.
Auto-Identify from Unnamed Email Inputs – The browser SDK now detects email addresses from form inputs that don't have a name attribute. React/JSX controlled components often omit name attributes, causing auto-identify to miss them — this is now handled.
Configuration options trackCalendarEmbeds, trackEngagement, and idleTimeout are now correctly forwarded to the tracker when set via the provider.
Bug Fixes
Fixed identifier source for browser-identified customers, ensuring the correct identity is attributed.
Fixed duplicate Slack app_mention events from being processed multiple times via a deduplication guard.
Fixed session ID preservation when flushing events during a disableTracking() call.
MCP API endpoints now use a restricted, org-scoped database client with row-level security policies enforced per query.
Outlit Changelog - February 2026
Outlit's February 2026 update introduces AI-powered anomaly detection for early churn signals, an MCP server for querying customer context from AI assistants, a Rust SDK, Vue 3 support, Supabase Auth integration, and contact traits for richer customer profiles.
New Features
Anomaly Detection (Private Beta) – AI-powered behavioral analysis that monitors your customers for early churn signals, activation drops, and usage anomalies. Detectors run daily and alert you via Slack and in-app notifications when something needs attention. Currently in private beta — reach out to leo@outlit.ai if you'd like access.
MCP Server – Connect AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Cursor directly to your Outlit customer data. Generate API keys from your workspace settings and query customers, revenue, and timelines from your AI tools. One-click setup with a ready-to-use claude mcp add command. Docs.
Supabase Auth Integration – Import your existing users from Supabase Auth to bootstrap your customer database without manual data entry.
Contact Traits – Store custom key-value attributes on contacts via SDK identify calls. Traits are automatically merged — new keys are added, existing keys are updated, and keys set to null are removed.
SDK Updates
Rust SDK – Track customer events from your Rust backend. Includes async methods, event batching, and a fluent builder API. Available on crates.io.
Vue 3 Support – First-class Vue 3 integration with a plugin and composables for easy setup in your Vue apps.
Fingerprint Support – Anonymous visitors can now be tracked across sessions before they identify themselves, giving you a fuller picture of the customer journey.
Server SDK events now support fingerprint backfill for improved identity resolution across browser and server contexts.
Traits from identify calls are now persisted on contacts in both browser and server SDK flows.
