Changelog

We are excited to introduce a new parameter, shell_connection, which allows users to specify the nature of a connection when established via API. 

• shell_connection:false  (Default behavior)
  • Credentials are passed in via API, and the connection is tested and established accordingly.
  • Note: If the parameter is not specified, the API will behave as though shell_connection:false.
• shell_connection:true
  • Credentials are passed in via API, but the connection is not tested or established. Additional action is required to fully authenticate the connection.

Specifying shell_connection:true Workato will not automatically attempt a test authentication and, thus, no “Connection Lost” banner will display within the connection page.

This new parameter will provide greater flexibility in how connections are managed and established through our API, enhancing user control over connection authentication processes. Learn more here.

Copilot now makes it easier to update and understand recipes with enhanced automation and documentation features:

• Builders can update existing recipes by entering a prompt, and Copilot will generate an update sketch.
• Step comments can be automatically added to improve recipe documentation.
• Copilot can generate a description of the recipe to help builders understand its functionality.

Introducing API Developer Portal, a centralized platform to streamline API consumption and management:

• Centralized API Catalog: Securely discover and share APIs with a centralized catalog.
• Self-Service Credential Generation: Enable users to generate and manage API keys independently.

Benefits include streamlined API adoption, enhanced security, and an improved developer experience.
