Changelog
Keep up with the latest updates we’ve made in Workato.
New Feature: Tags on Assets
Tags are now available for Recipes, Connections, Pages, and Data Tables. This feature helps organize assets, improve searchability, and group assets across projects. Tags also contribute to the business value dashboard.
•Permissions: Tag creation is managed in workspace settings.
•Tagging & Managing: Add, edit, or remove tags via UI or APIs. Bulk actions are supported.
•Tag Filtering: Search by tags on assets/projects pages, with future support in the Operations Hub.
Improved Assets Search
You can now perform a search across all assets and projects. Search asset names, descriptions, apps used, and actions used. Results are sorted by relevance to help you find what you need quickly. Refine your search results with filters and toggle between different sorting options.
Expanded conditional logic with If / Else If / Else
This update breaks up the If and Else blocks into separate actions, that can be added and removed independently without having to reset the logic block type. To create a conditional logic block, start by adding an If statement; after the first condition is added, adding an additional action at the same level will give two options: Else If, or Else.
Else If is a new operator, providing flexibility in the conditional logic flows of your recipe.
Page Data Pills and Conditionals in Workflow Apps
Users can now build dynamic pages in Workflow Apps by using data pills in their pages. Available data includes:
- User data (e.g. user name, user id, and email)
- Request data (e.g. request stage, request created by user, request data columns)
- Page data (e.g. any editable fields on the current page)
Data pills can be used to create conditional logic in pages just like with recipes. This enables dynamic functionality like:
- Personalizing page messaging to the current user
- Showing/hiding certain components based on page data (e.g. display an input field if other is selected in drop down)
- Constructing dynamic URLs with embedded data from current page
- Making page components required or readonly based on other answers within a page
‘Repeat While’ loops added for all workspaces
Users can now set any condition using the standard interface to decide if actions inside loop should be executed an additional time. Actions inside the loop will be executed at least one time. Applications include pagination, repeating a fixed number of times, and repeating until condition is met. Read more about Repeat While loops here.
Relation columns in Table Storage now included in import/export
Tables imported or exported through Recipe Lifecycle Management (RLCM) now include relational/linked column data if present.
Search/filter by relations column in Table Storage
Relations columns allow you to link multiple data tables together with Workato Table Storage. Now, you can search and filter by the values in those relations columns, unlocking many use cases involving interconnected data tables. This functionality is available both in the Table Storage connector and UI, creating a seamless navigation experience for linked data tables.
Error Info Datapills Update
We've added three data pills to the on error step of the error catch block: errored app, errored action, and errored step number.
These new datapills allow you to expand your error handling with conditional logic based on the which part of your recipe encountered an error.
