Community Connectors: What’s new in August 2026

✨ August’s spotlight is an AI voice-and-browser stack. Vapi lets recipes place outbound calls and control live conversations (speak, transfer, end). AssemblyAI handles the other half — upload audio, transcribe, export SRT/VTT, and run LLM prompts over transcripts, with webhooks when jobs finish. Airtop adds cloud browser sessions so agents can scrape pages, ask natural-language questions, extract lists, and click or type without running their own browser fleet.

Also this month: Clay for company/people lookups and ICP signals; Tanium for endpoint management via the Core Platform API; Azure Event Hub for high-throughput event publish and batch ingest; plus two OPA extensions — Keeper Secrets Manager for in-network secret retrieve/rotate, and Email (Custom) OPA for SMTP/IMAP/POP3 over a secure tunnel.

🔧 Enhancements lean on auth, schemas, and connectivity: OPA secure tunnels for Google Pub/Sub; OAuth/PKCE for Looker and Employment Hero; new Telegram actions and granular event subscriptions; hierarchical field picks and richer time-off filters in HiBob$select/$expand-aware pills in OData; multi-select job status in SmartRecruiters; Qualtrics mailing lists on XM Directory; Embedded export fixes; and Ironclad Custom action with leaner non-admin OAuth. Veeva Vault continues upload and picklist polish.

🛡 Stability fixes cover OpenAPI anyOf schema rendering, Azure DevOps Service Principal token refresh after idle/expiry, and SOAP DateTime and Boolean unmarshalling.

Genies — Scale to Longer, More Ambitious Work

Genies run support tasks up to 30 minutes — covering deep research, large document generation, and multi-step tool chains — with no setup or configuration required.

  • Built for Longer-Running Work — The platform supports Genies running up to 30 minutes across any mix of LLM generation, knowledge base search, and tool calls.
  • Real-Time Visibility — End users see agent messages, tool calls, and search calls as they happen, in the correct order, no matter how long the run takes.
  • Same Guarantees for Headless API — Teams building on the Headless Genie API get the same real-time, ordered event stream as native Slack and Teams users.

Test a Skill Without the Genie

Skills can be tested directly from the skill editor — no Genie required, no tab switching, no prompt-engineering your way into a skill invocation.

  • Test in the Skill Editor — Hit Test and run the skill in one window, exercising its logic directly without going through a Genie.
  • No Genie in the Loop — A failed run no longer leaves a Genie stuck waiting for output that never arrived; debug and re-run from the skill itself.

End-User Feedback for Genies — Now Generally Available

End users can rate Genie responses with a thumbs up or thumbs down directly in the conversation — giving builders systematic, real-time signal on what's working and what isn't. On by default, no setup required.

  • Native, Instant Capture — Feedback is captured directly on each response in Slack, Teams, and custom interfaces via API, with an optional short comment from the user.
  • Full Context on Feedback — Drill into any flagged conversation from the conversation history tab to see the exact message and full trace behind it.
  • Home Page Visibility — A feedback summary widget shows your positive/negative split and trend over a selected timeframe.
  • Flows Everywhere You Already Look — Feedback data is included in conversation exports, the Dev API, and log streaming.
  • Foundation for What's Next — Native feedback data feeds directly into the batch-run and automated grading phases of the broader Agent Studio evaluation framework.

Agent Studio — Multiple Simultaneous Client Connections

A single Genie can connect to multiple chat interfaces and triggers simultaneously — no more creating and maintaining duplicate Genies per connection.

  • Multi-Connection Support — Connect one Genie to multiple unique Slack workspaces, unique Teams tenants, Workato GO, and unique custom interfaces all at once.
  • Centralized Trigger Management — Chat Interfaces have moved to a new Trigger module, where all connected chat interfaces and recipe triggers are listed and managed in one place.

Agentic Headless API — Deploy Genies Anywhere

The Headless API removes the constraint of deploying Genies only through Slack, Teams, or Workato GO. Customers choose the surface, the authentication model, and the interaction pattern — now in open beta across all workspaces.

  • Any Surface — Embed a Genie in your own web app, mobile app, employee portal, or internal tool. Slack, Teams, and Workato GO become one option among many.
  • Your Identity Model, Your Choice — Static API key for full identity ownership, or OAuth 2.0 (PKCE) through Workato Identity for SSO-governed per-user access via Okta, Azure AD, or OneLogin.
  • Beyond Chat — Drive Genies from CI pipelines, batch jobs, recipes, and other agents — anywhere a human typing in a chat window used to be a hard requirement.
  • The Whole Lifecycle in Code — Combine the Headless API with AIRO MCP to create, configure, run, test, and deploy a Genie without ever opening the Workato UI.
  • Flexibility Without Losing Oversight — Dedicated Genie Runtime API role, per-client IP allow lists, and integration with log streaming.

Event Streams — Cross-Workspace Sharing

Event topics can be shared across workspaces within the same Automation HQ, so recipes across multiple workspaces work off the same shared topic in real time — no workarounds, no duplicated topics.

  • One Org-Wide Switch — An AHQ admin enables cross-workspace sharing once; any managed workspace can then grant topic access to any other.
  • Workspace-Managed Grants — Workspace admins select which topics to share and assign Publish, Subscribe, or both permissions per workspace.
  • Multiple Publishers & Subscribers — Several workspaces can publish to and consume from one shared topic simultaneously.
  • Clear Topic Differentiation — Shared topics carry a Granted tag so it's immediately clear which topics were shared versus owned, visible in both the topic list and the recipe's Message Topic dropdown.
  • Schema & Message History Access — All granted workspaces can view the schema and full message history of any topic shared with them.

Intermediate Messages & Persistent Tool Call Feedback — Workato GO

Intermediate messages and persistent Tool Call Streams are now available in Workato GO, completing channel parity alongside Slack and Teams. Users see exactly what a Genie is doing — step by step — while processing their requests.

  • Intermediate Messages Always Shown — Any response-relevant content the LLM returns is surfaced in GO and Test Mode, ensuring full parity with what the Genie intends to communicate.
  • Persistent Tool Call Stream — Each intermediate message is accompanied by a real-time stream of the Genie's actions, providing full observability over every step taken in response to a query.
  • Collapsible Streams — Users can collapse any Tool Call Stream to reduce visual clutter — it keeps running in the background and can be expanded at any time.
  • Human-Readable Tool Labels — Internal tools display plain-language labels (e.g. "Searching knowledge base [My KB] for [query]…") instead of raw function names.
