Changelog

We’ve introduced updates to make managing user groups and creating dynamic user experiences more efficient:

• Updating User Group Membership Upon Sign-In: Automatically update user group membership from identity provider attributes each time a user logs in.
• Current User Groups in Pages: A new "Group Names" pill displays all groups the current user belongs to, enabling interfaces to adjust dynamically based on group membership.

Learn more in our Workflow Apps documentation.

The latest Workflow App updates introduce new customization options and validation capabilities to optimize your workflows:

• Configurable Task Reassignment: Ability to reassign tasks can now be configured directly in recipes to fit various business cases.
• Required Checkboxes: Ensure compliance by making checkboxes mandatory for policy agreements or other forms of consent.
• Conditional Button Enablement: Buttons can now be enabled or disabled based on specific conditions. For example, rejections can require mandatory comments, while approvals may not need them.
  Improvements for Input Widget Validations: Now in addition to number inputs, you can also validate date inputs to guardrail users and ensure that you get only expected information.

New multi-select component in Workflow Apps allows you to easily select multiple options from a dynamic list. This new capability allows you to:

• Capture multiple selections with a single component
• Choose your data source: manual entry, data tables, or recipes
• Validate minimum and maximum selections based on your needs
• Process results in recipes to build robust workflows
• Use selected values to define page behaviour with data pills

Learn more in our Workflow Apps documentation.

You can now store multiple values in one column, enhancing the build experience of Workflow Apps. When creating a new column type, a new option - "Multi-value" - is now available for selection. Multi-value column types support use cases such as records tagging. Each table can have up to 20 multi-value columns and each multi-value column can store up to 20 values. 

Learn more about multi-value column types in our Workflow Apps documentation.

We’re excited to announce that batch actions have been introduced to the Data Tables Connector! This highly requested update empowers users to create, update, and delete records in batches, reducing complexity in recipe design and improving task efficiency. Key updates include:

• Batch Actions for Data Tables: Users can now perform batch operations to create, update, and delete records, enabling more streamlined workflows.
• Improved Efficiency: Batch actions eliminate the need for looping, helping reduce task consumption and enabling broader use cases.
• Limitations: Each batch supports up to 200 records, ensuring consistency with existing data-fetching limits.

Recipe-powered dropdowns allow you to dynamically retrieve and display data from any source using recipes. This new capability allows you to:

– Connect to and retrieve data from virtually any source as a recipe data source
– Load dropdown options in real time, reflecting the latest data
– Ensure secure integration for safe and reliable data retrieval
– Apply filters and custom input parameters to tailor dropdown options
– Enable typeahead mode to narrow down options as users type

If this feature not yet enabled in your account and you would like access, contact your Workato representative. Learn more in our Workflow Apps documentation.

Within the Workflow App page builder, you can now define custom validation rules for input fields by selecting an input type, then further specifying a minimum or maximum length, or a regular expression rule to match in the field.

Within Workflow Apps, you can now import/export and deploy the dashboard pages configured with Workato Insights.

This enhancement is available to workspaces in the Insights private beta, with Workflow Apps enabled.

When assigning a task to a user or user group in a Workflow App recipe, you can now select if you would like to send an email notification or not. 

Additionally, a request’s dataset now includes a Task URL. This URL can be retrieved from a Search requests action, within the Active Task object.

Workflow Apps data tables can now have a maximum of 100 columns, versus 50 columns previously.

Additionally, checkboxes and dropdowns can now serve as purely page controls and not be linked to a table column, to preserve data columns and increase readability of the table.
