Changelog
Keep up with the latest updates we’ve made in Workato.
Teams Workbot: Support for long actions
When using the Teams Workbot, you can now handle user button clicks in messages within the same recipe, without invoking a separate command and recipe. This allows for modeling a whole conversation in one recipe.
This feature is available to both Standard and Enterprise Workbot users.
Timeout added to prevent simultaneous Recipe Lifecycle Management imports
To ensure consistent import behavior, we've added a 15 minute buffer between Recipe Lifecycle Management imports to the same environment. This buffer will prevent potential race conditions created by running multiple simultaneous imports.
Retention period configuration now included in Event streams exports
Recipe Lifecycle Management exports involving Workato Event streams will now include retention period configurations in exports. This will help ensure consistent behavior when migrating topics.
New fields and query parameter available for the list recipes endpoint
The list recipes endpoint in both the Workato Developer API and the Workato Embedded API has had the following fields added: author_name, version_author_name, version_author_email.
Additionally, updated_after has been added as a new query parameter. Users can now filter requests to only recipes updated after the specified time.
Refresh button added to Workato Logging Service
There is now a refresh button in the top right corner of the Workato Logging Service. This allows users to get the latest logs without having to refresh the page.
Use Copilot to generate recipe descriptions
Copilot will now be able to help you generate recipe descriptions in a few seconds, so you spend less time writing and get your projects to production faster. This functionality utilizes the recipe and any called recipe functions to ensure accuracy, without accessing any job-related information. You can learn more about Copilot here.
New navigation item: Platform
Within the Workato app, you will now see a new left navigation header: Platform. Platform houses core functionality, such as API management, event streams (formerly Pub/Sub), Workflow apps, Workbot, and more.
In-app communication now available in Workflow Apps
Users can now use comments to communicate about requests in the Workflow apps portal. This addition enables users to collaborate on requests without leaving the apps portal. Comments are displayed alongside the request status changes, providing an easy view to see how a request is progressing.
Comments work out of the box and do not require any configuration. Each comment also creates an email notification for users involved in the particular request.
Workato Pub/Sub is now Workato Event Streams
Workato Pub/Sub has been rebranded to Event Streams to reflect the product capability more accurately. Here's how the rebranding will affect users:
- Workato PubSub is now Workato Event Streams
- PubSub topics are now referred to as Event topics
- In Workato’s documentation, Event Streams have been moved from the connectors section to a dedicated Event Streams section.
