Changelog

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.

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.

We've released 15 new or updated connectors, including Trustcruit, streamlining recruitment feedback loops, and HeyMarket, enabling batch imports from Salesforce. We've also fine-tuned the SmartRecruiters connector, adding new actions related to job and candidate properties, enhanced the universal GraphQL connector, and more. Read our full update here.

Native webhook triggers configured for JSON payloads will now return a 400 bad request status code if the payload wasn't valid JSON. Additionally, to ensure consistency, starting from 6th November 2023, we will also start validating webhook triggers within the same workspace using the event name and webhook URL. If they have different configurations, we will prevent the recipe from starting.

These updates allow senders to see when events are not accepted so they can intervene and investigate immediately.

We are excited to introduce a new action in the HTTP connector - "Send request and wait for response" - which can now handle requests requiring us to hold connections for up to 1 hour. This update removes the pain of dealing with timeouts when working with legacy APIs which require long timeouts, or when requests that worked with small loads in DEV and TEST start to timeout in PROD with larger loads.

This feature is currently in beta and access can be requested through your customer success representative.

Exciting news — we’ve launched an Australia data center to enhance data control and performance for our customers in the region. This expansion caters to our growing customer base in Australia and New Zealand, offering them the power to choose the hosting location for their Workato account, alongside our existing centers in the US, Europe, Singapore, and Japan.
