Workato Copilot: Build, Change, Iterate—Effortlessly!
Business, Enterprise, and Embed
Spending too much time updating existing recipes? Let Copilot take the wheel! Now, you can tell Copilot what changes you want to make, and it will generate an updated sketch of your recipe. Imagine: you want to add an approval step to your employee onboarding process. Just tell Copilot, and it’ll handle the heavy lifting.
This functionality provides two key advantages. It accelerates recipe updates, enabling users to swiftly visualize and implement changes through Copilot’s generated sketches and explanatory notes. Plus, it promotes collaboration with Copilot’s ability to insert comments and offer detailed explanations of recipes, ensuring a shared and comprehensive understanding among all team members.
💡Coming Soon: Support updating sketches for custom connectors.

See Everything, Secure Everything with API Traffic Mirroring
Private Release
Workato now offers API traffic mirroring, enabling enterprises to forward a duplicate stream of API requests and responses from designated endpoints to an external API security platform. This allows for additional real-time monitoring and analysis of Workato-generated API traffic, facilitating advanced security and governance practices.
Insights
Data-Driven Decisions: Drill down to answers faster with Dashboard Filters
Business and Enterprise
Dashboard filters are here for dynamic and interactive data exploration. Dashboard filters allow you to focus your dashboards on specific projects, time periods, or workflow stages. Now, you can slice and dice your information to gain deeper insights. Want to see project progress for a specific time period? Simply apply a filter group and get the answers you need, instantly.
💡Filter Groups are available in the Insights components panel.
Workflow Apps

Here’s what this means for you:
- Elevate Your Brand: Integrate your brand into every interaction.
- Improve Email Deliverability: Increase sender recognition and avoid spam filters.
- Effortless Security: Enjoy automated TLS certificate renewal for end-to-end protection.
Builder Experience
A Better Way to Navigate: Color-Coded Environments and Theme Switching
Experience a significantly smoother Workato workflow with our redesigned navigation. We’ve streamlined switching between workspaces and environments, reducing clicks and offering a cleaner, more intuitive interface. Plus, stay organized with color-coded environments and personalize your experience with one-click theme switching (light, dark, or system).
Connectivity
Our Connector Library is Growing!
All Plans
We’ve added new connectors for Mural, Mastercard, Walmart Seller Center, and more. Plus, we’ve enhanced our platform connectors, including RPA by Workato, Google Drive, and Oracle Fusion. For more information on recent connector additions and improvements, check out our monthly connector blogs.

Application-level Microsoft Connectivity: Secure, Compliant, Simple
All Plans
The Microsoft suite of connectors now support client credentials-based authentication! This feature is now available across applications like Excel and Outlook, strengthening enterprise security and management. By granting permissions at the application level, you gain control over who can access what, minimizing the impact of potential breaches and simplifying compliance audits. This also reduces maintenance overhead – no more updating accounts tied to individual users when employees leave or change roles.
Operations & Governance
OPA 26.0 Released – Simplified On-premise Agent Management
Standard (add-on), Business, and Enterprise
We’ve released OPA 26.0, featuring a single package for all data centers! This simplifies installation and upgrades, especially those using non-US data centers. While the packages with the suffixes (replaces -eu, -sg, -jp, and -au suffixes) will still work, they are no longer supported. This release also includes improvements for Windows-based FTP servers.
Stay tuned for March
We hope you found this month’s updates exciting, and continue to discover new ways to Workato!
