MCM360 Updates: November 2, 2026

Two updates landed in the MCM360 platform over the last couple of weeks that are worth knowing about. As always, these are already live for our clients. Nothing to install, nothing to buy. Here is what changed, in plain English.

All Your Connected Tools, On One Page

Your MCM360 Business App connects to the other tools your business runs on: your calendar, your payment tools, your social accounts. Until now, managing those connections meant hunting through different screens. That is over. Every connection now lives on a single page, with search and filters, so you can see at a glance what is hooked up and what is not.

Two details make this more useful than it sounds. You can now connect more than one account to the same tool, which is handy if you run two calendars or a personal and a business account. And if a connection breaks (passwords change, tokens expire, it happens), you can fix it right from your phone instead of waiting until you are back at a desk.

In plain English: one page shows every tool your account talks to, and you can repair a broken connection from the parking lot between jobs.

Your AI Employee Can Now Connect to Almost Anything

The AI employees we set up, like the receptionist that answers your phone or the assistant that chases reviews and follow-ups, have always worked with the tools the platform supported directly. A new open connection standard changes that. An AI employee can now be wired into tools that never had a direct connection before, including the niche industry software a lot of trades businesses live in.

What that means in practice: if your scheduling, dispatch, or job-tracking tool was the reason an AI employee could not see part of your business, that wall just got a door. Setup is done on our side, one tool at a time, and not every tool qualifies. But far more do now than did a month ago.

In plain English: the AI answering your phone can now check and update more of the software you already use. If there is a tool you have wished it could reach, ask me about access.

Questions about either update, or about what MCM360 Marketing Portal clients get? Call (920) 383-3387. The AI receptionist that answers is running on the same platform.
