Changelog
Keep up with the latest updates we’ve made in Workato.
Data Tables: Table-Manipulation Developer APIs
A new set of public-facing Developer APIs is now available for Data Tables, allowing external systems to programmatically manage table structure and metadata at scale.
- Supports listing, creating, deleting, and truncating Data Tables via API.
- Includes metadata management, providing control over table setup from outside the platform.
- APIs follow existing Workato authentication and access controls for security and consistency.
- Fully compatible with Embedded use cases to support partner integrations.

Data Tables: Formula Lookup
You can now perform direct lookups on Data Tables using formulas, similar to Lookup Tables (LUT), making recipes cleaner and more efficient.
- Use the new data_table_lookup() formula to fetch records inline without extra steps.
- Reduces task count by eliminating separate search/get actions.
- Matches the familiar LUT pattern for consistent, intuitive recipe building.
- Great for scenarios requiring multiple lookups with minimal complexity.
Learn more in the formula documentation.
Data Tables – Move to Assets
Data Tables are now categorized as assets and have been moved out of their dedicated project tab and into the Assets section alongside other components.
- Aligns Data Tables with Workato’s standardized asset structure, improving project organization.
- Enables builders to group and manage Data Tables within folders, just like recipes, connections, and other asset types.
- Supports a more consistent experience as Workato introduces new asset types like Data Pipelines.
Learn more in the Data Tables documentation.
Data Tables – Batch Triggers
The Data Tables connector now supports batch triggers, complementing its existing real-time capabilities and enabling new use cases like periodic syncing and batched recaps of data changes. Two new triggers have been introduced:
- New records (batch)
- New/updated records (batch)
These follow the same familiar design experience as other Workato batch triggers. Each batch supports up to 200 records and is available out-of-the-box.
