Changelog
Keep up with the latest updates we’ve made in Workato.
Community Connectors: What’s new in October
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.
Better Observability when Working Webhooks
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.
Increased timeout limits for the HTTP Universal Connector
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.
Unveiling our Australia data center
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.
