Changelog
Keep up with the latest updates we’ve made in Workato.
Enterprise Context by Workato
Builders can manage knowledge base documents directly from a recipe — keeping the knowledge agents reason over current, governed, and citable, without leaving the recipe editor.
- Recipe-Native Document Management — Upsert, delete, list, and search knowledge base documents from any source without crawlers or manual uploads.
- Idempotent Batch Upserts — Insert or update up to 100 documents per call, matched by document ID, so re-runs update in place with no duplicates.
- Cross-Knowledge-Base Search — Run natural-language or keyword search across one or more knowledge bases with metadata, content-type, and date filters plus paged results.
- Any Source, Any Format — Ingest text plus PDF, DOCX, and PPTX with server-side text extraction, with source URLs cited back in Genie answers.
- Seamless Migration — Replaces the Genie connector's Store knowledge action 1:1; existing recipes keep running with no action required.

Credit Model for Workato Embed — Now Generally Available
The Credit Model is now fully supported for Workato Embed, unlocking Agent Studio, MCP, Data Pipelines, and more for Embed customers — at full parity with Direct.
- Full Credit Model Support — Embed supports all aspects of the credit model: platform editions, usage metering, reporting, and observability. New credit capabilities light up in Embed on day one going forward.
- Credit Billing & Usage Dashboards — Embed Partners get aggregate account-level reporting across all End Customers with drill-down per workspace; End Customers get their own self-serve dashboard to monitor usage and manage billing.

- Platform Editions + New Starter Tier — Platform Editions are now fully aligned between Embed and Direct, with a new Starter edition introduced exclusively for Embed to support smaller, emerging deals.
Access requires a credit-based contract. Reach out to your AE/CSM to learn more.

Intermediate Messages & Persistent Tool Call Feedback — Slack
Genies in Slack show end users exactly what's happening — step by step — while processing their requests. Tool calls are paired with real-time, collapsible stream of Genie actions in plain language, replacing confusing internal monologue with clear, contextualized feedback.
- Intermediate Messages Always Shown — Any response-relevant content the LLM returns is surfaced in Slack and Test Mode, ensuring full parity with what the Genie intends to communicate.
- Persistent Tool Call Stream — Intermediate messages are accompanied by real-time streams 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 like KB search and file analysis display plain-language labels (e.g. "Searching knowledge base [My KB] for [query]…") instead of raw function names, ensuring that they are human readable and understandable.

VUA Connection Flow — Streamlined OAuth UX
Connecting to Workato MCP Servers with Verified User Access is faster and friction-free. The connection flow auto-routes users directly to the third-party OAuth screen and auto-closes the VUA window once all connections are granted — putting users straight back in their MCP client.
- Auto-Redirect to OAuth — When an MCP server requires a single VUA connection, users go straight to the app's OAuth consent screen after Workato ID authentication — no intermediate landing page.
- Auto-Close on Completion — The VUA window closes automatically once all required connections are granted, returning users to their MCP client without any manual steps.
- Clean Failure Handling — Denied consent or failed OAuth redirects back to the MCP client with a structured error response, so users are never left stranded.
- Clearer UI Copy — The "Close window" button is renamed to "Cancel connection" to accurately reflect the action and reduce drop-off.

Workato Identity Branding Now Available
Workato Identity is now brandable. Builders can customize the sign-in and connection experience with their own logo, favicon, app name, colors, and help text — so end users see a login and consent flow that reflects the customer's product, not Workato's.
- Custom Logo, Favicon & App Name — Uploaded logo renders on the Identity login and VUA connection pages; custom favicon appears in the browser tab; app name replaces "Workato" across the entire flow.
- Custom Colors & Help Text — Accent, font, and background colors carry across the full login and consent flow, with Markdown-supported help text for SSO instructions, support contacts, or consent context.
- Cleaner VUA Copy for MCP — The connection page reads "Connect your accounts to use [MCP Server Name]" so end users know exactly which server they're authorizing.
- Configured in One Place — All branding lives under Workspace Admin → Access Control → Login Experience.
