Changelog

We’re excited to announce that batch actions have been introduced to the Data Tables Connector! This highly requested update empowers users to create, update, and delete records in batches, reducing complexity in recipe design and improving task efficiency. Key updates include:

• Batch Actions for Data Tables: Users can now perform batch operations to create, update, and delete records, enabling more streamlined workflows.
• Improved Efficiency: Batch actions eliminate the need for looping, helping reduce task consumption and enabling broader use cases.
• Limitations: Each batch supports up to 200 records, ensuring consistency with existing data-fetching limits.

Workato has introduced the Recipe Widget, a new iframe widget for the Embedded Platform. This feature allows partners to embed a streamlined view of an individual recipe page into their own product via an iframe, enhancing the seamless integration experience:

• Focused Embedding: Displays only the recipe canvas, jobs table, and version history, removing unnecessary UI elements.
• Enhanced Customization: Partners maintain full control over navigation and user experience.
• Optimized for Embed Partners: Designed based on high demand, including from Freshworks and other leading partners.

We are excited to announce we now provide schema validation for API endpoints to improve data integrity.

This new functionality validates API requests for presence of fields and their field type for API recipe endpoints, allowing users to 'filter out' or reject API requests that don't meet pre-defined constraints.

Learn more in our API platform documentation.

Workato has fully migrated all JavaScript and Python connectors to MessagePack serialization, enhancing efficiency and expanding data handling capabilities. V1 containers have also been decommissioned across all data centers:

• Improved Data Handling: Supports non-UTF8 encoded data, eliminating previous JSON serialization limitations.
• Optimized Performance: More efficient serialization/deserialization for faster processing.
• Seamless Transition: No changes required for customers—everything continues to work as expected.

PyPDF has been added to the Python connector library suite. This powerful addition significantly enhances document processing capabilities and opens up new possibilities for automation.

API custom authorization allows you to enforce an additional set of authorization claims on API endpoints. Workato’s API Gateway evaluates the custom authorization expression after an API request is made to an endpoint and authenticated with a valid token. This feature adds an extra layer of security by enabling you to create additional role-based access control, locale restriction, and business logic rules.

This feature is in private release. Contact your Customer Success Manager to enable this feature. Learn more in our API Platform documentation.
