Changelog

This month, we’re introducing powerful new connectors and enhancements to help teams work more efficiently

Glean makes AI-driven search and document management seamless, while Bizzabo simplifies event tracking and registration. Citeline brings real-time clinical trial and pharmaceutical insights for data-driven decision-making.

On the enhancement front, Iterable now offers improved record handling for greater accuracy and reliability.

These are just a few of the updates—check out the full list here!

For February 2025, Oracle Fusion connector now supports JWT authentication, while Shopify enhances order triggers for high-volume sales. RPA by Workato v0.1 has been introduced for automation workflows, and Microsoft SharePoint introduces a new trigger to handle large sites, improving file management for enterprise users. API migrations for Facebook, LinkedIn, and Salesforce ensure continued platform compatibility. Curious about these updates? Learn more here!

We are excited to introduce a new parameter, shell_connection, which allows users to specify the nature of a connection when established via API. 

• shell_connection:false  (Default behavior)
  • Credentials are passed in via API, and the connection is tested and established accordingly.
  • Note: If the parameter is not specified, the API will behave as though shell_connection:false.
• shell_connection:true
  • Credentials are passed in via API, but the connection is not tested or established. Additional action is required to fully authenticate the connection.

Specifying shell_connection:true Workato will not automatically attempt a test authentication and, thus, no “Connection Lost” banner will display within the connection page.

This new parameter will provide greater flexibility in how connections are managed and established through our API, enhancing user control over connection authentication processes. Learn more here.

Users can now clone widgets on apps pages, making it easier to replicate and modify components without starting from scratch. This update improves efficiency when designing and managing multiple widget instances.

Users can now resend invitations if they expire, ensuring a seamless onboarding experience. The new invitation link will be regenerated with a fresh expiration period, allowing recipients to access it without delays.

Copilot now makes it easier to update and understand recipes with enhanced automation and documentation features:

• Builders can update existing recipes by entering a prompt, and Copilot will generate an update sketch.
• Step comments can be automatically added to improve recipe documentation.
• Copilot can generate a description of the recipe to help builders understand its functionality.

This feature is now available to all customers with Recipe Copilot enabled. Learn more in our Recipe Copilot documentation.

Introducing API Developer Portal, a centralized platform to streamline API consumption and management:

• Centralized API Catalog: Securely discover and share APIs with a centralized catalog.
• Self-Service Credential Generation: Enable users to generate and manage API keys independently.
• Comprehensive API Documentation: Access detailed endpoint specifications, including request/response schemas, directly within the portal.
• In-Portal API Testing: Test and validate APIs directly within the portal for faster debugging and development.
• Magic Link Access: Secure, frictionless access using email-based Magic Links, ensuring only authorized users interact with APIs.

Benefits include streamlined API adoption, enhanced security, and an improved developer experience.

To prevent unauthorized access to your Workato workspaces, password reset links will have a validity period of 10 minutes from the time of request. This update is now in effect for all users.

The tasks due date picker in the Workflow Apps connector now supports options for 3 months, 6 months, and up to 365 days, going well beyond the previous 65-day limit. This update enables better handling of long-running tasks with clearly defined support for durations up to a full year.

File uploads on public pages using the file widget now support automated virus scanning. This enhancement improves security and ensures safe handling of uploaded files before submission.
