Batch publish and new API for Workato PubSub
First, the new batch publish action allows you to send a batch of up to 100 events to a PubSub topic within one action. It's a valuable addition the Workato PubSub connector to go alongside the existing batch trigger.
Second, the PubSub API was moved to a totally new microservice resulting in increased throughput and up to a 50% latency decrease. The new API is now available on a new domain, event-streams.workato.com. Note that the old API version is still in operation and that both versions share the same auth tokens, data format, and endpoints to make it simple to migrate to the new API.
Custom webhook responses for custom connectors
With custom webhook responses, Workato Connector SDK developers can now build webhook triggers with custom responses to ensure triggers conform to their destination application.
This allows developers to create real-time triggers to applications like Microsoft, Facebook, and Adobe that require targets to respond in a specific format, making the Workato Connector SDK even more flexible.
This feature is available today for any dynamic webhook triggers created with the Workato Connector SDK.
Private communities now ready for EU data center
Our Embedded Private Community feature is now available in all of Workato's data centers, including US, EU, JP, SG, and AU data centers. With Private Community, users can choose the apps and recipes customers see as they browse for community recipes.
Streamline asset management with new filtering options
Discover assets more efficiently with our enhanced filters. Previously, you could only filter assets by type and status. Now, you can also filter by apps, recipe trigger, and editors.
TableStorage Download as CSV
We are excited to announce that data tables in Workato TableStorage can now be downloaded as a CSV! This allows users to extract data stored in Workato TableStorage as CSVs and easily import to popular apps such as Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets with protection against formula injection.
New App Management Experience for Workflow Apps
We have made our Workflow Apps so much easier to create from scratch and manage with the new App view! Everything related to a workflow app now resides in a single project tab: stages of a workflow process, related app pages, data layer for the app, and automation recipes with business logic.
The updates include:
- New App View that is available for all your existing and future app-based projects
- Configurable tabs to show additional information for the app or design alternative request pages
- Selection of a page became optional in Workflow Apps connector actions since pages are now directly assigned to specific workflow stages
