Get real-time status alerts for incidents
We have launched status pages for each region, so users can monitor our systems’ status, check for incidents—and subscribe to email updates.
Configure client access with greater security
With API Clients, users can now grant clients granular role and project-based app access. For greater security, view-once tokens are now available. Read this update’s documentation, or go to the revamped Workspace Access to start configuring.
Parse Excel files using Python
Our Python connector has been updated to support the parsing and handling of Excel files. Use xlrd and openpyxl data for reading or writing to and from Excel files.
SQL Transformations for ETL/ELT (beta)
SQL Transformations is a new connector that allows users to query through large volumes of data from multiple sources, within the recipes. The transformed data can further be loaded to any destination or stored as a file for future use within Workato.
This beta connector release is a major enhancement for ETL/ELT capabilities. To learn more please visit the documentation.
SCIM Provisioning
SCIM Provisioning allows our customers to automate the entire user lifecycle management process. From the time a user joins the company and needs access to Workato (provisioning), requires more privileges (profile updates), and finally, to the time they leave (de-provisioning). This eliminates any manual and error prone actions that IT admins must take on the Workato platform as provisioning actions will be automatically synced with their identity provider (IdP) like Okta, OneLogin etc.. This release includes:
- Full lifecycle management actions (Create users, update user attributes like workato_role, and de-provision users with supported IdP's like Okta, OneLogin, CyberArk Idaptive)
- Ability to provision single or multiple Workato Workspaces from identity platforms
- Ability to remove environment / Workspace access from identity platforms
- Ability to provision, update, de-provision users at the individual or group level
- Track all access related changes on audit logs across all environments and differentiate between automatic and manual changes
Learn more about account provisioning with SCIM by checking out the documentation.

On-Prem Agent IP Allow List
While each Workato data center has its own IPs to use for outbound allow lists, there is a need to restrict inbound requests to Workato for OPA usage. This is where the On-Prem Agent allow lists helps solve for this. Admins can easily add an IP allow list at the group level to restrict agents in the group. These additional IP restrictions will help organizations increase their security by decreasing their network attack surface.
