Changelog
Keep up with the latest updates we’ve made in Workato.
Event Streams — Large Payload Support
Event Streams message size limits are raised from 512KB (recipe) / 1MB (API) to 10MB — large JSON payloads publish natively, no splitting or trimming required.
- 10MB Max Message Size — Publish large payloads directly across both connector actions/triggers and public APIs, with consistent behavior no matter how you publish.
- Dynamic Batching in recipes — Batches are capped at 50MB total payload; when messages approach the 10MB limit, Workato automatically returns remaining messages in subsequent batches with no data loss.
Learn more in Event Streams.
Undo/Redo — Now Available in the Recipe Editor
Native undo and redo support is available in the recipe editor. Experiment freely, backtrack instantly, and iterate without fear — no manual reversals, no restoring to a previous version.
- Full Action Coverage — Step additions, deletions, connection swaps, field-level changes, and AIRO-made changes all flow through a unified undo/redo stack.
- Familiar Shortcuts — Ctrl+Z to undo, Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo — just like any other editor you already use.

Native SOAP Services, Workato Resources & XML Streaming
Enterprises running heavy XML — SOAP services, SAP IDocs, EDI batches, legacy middleware — now have first-class platform support. Three pieces, one story.
- Native SOAP Services — Host SOAP API endpoints natively on Workato by providing a WSDL, the same way REST APIs are hosted today. The WSDL is read directly from a governed Workato Resource.
- Workato Resources — WSDLs, XSDs, and XSLTs are now versioned, governed assets living in the project folder — referenced everywhere instead of pasted inline, and portable across environments with nothing to re-wire.
- XML Connector — Resource Support — Transform, Validate, and Generate from Sample XML actions can now reference resource assets instead of inline content, with full reuse and no UI lag.
- XML Streaming — Up to 200 MB — Large XML payloads stream natively, handling SAP IDocs, EDI batches, and other high-volume XML flows without size constraints.
- Generate XML from Sample — A new action generates a working XML shape from a representative sample, enabling mapping even when the schema is non-deterministic (anyType).

Tool-Level RBAC for MCP Servers — Now Generally Available
Share one MCP server across your entire org and control exactly which tools each user group can call — reads for everyone, writes and destructive actions only for the roles that need them. No duplicate servers, no code changes.
- Per-Tool, Per-Group Access — Grant a group access to a server, then scope it to specific tools, so each person's agent sees only what they're authorized to use.
- One Server, No Sprawl — Share a single mixed-sensitivity server across the whole org instead of maintaining watered-down copies per role.
- Contained Blast Radius — A hijacked or over-eager agent can only reach tools within its user's authorized scope — nothing outside it.

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.

AIRO: Stop Generation
A stop button is now available in the AIRO input bar whenever AIRO is actively thinking or executing — click it and AIRO halts within a few seconds, preserving everything up to your last completed turn as context.

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.
