Workato Identity: SCIM 2.0 Provisioning Support
Workato Identity supports SCIM 2.0 inbound provisioning, enabling enterprise customers to automate the full user and group lifecycle directly from their identity provider—eliminating manual provisioning and offboarding gaps.
- Automated user & group sync — Provision users and groups from Okta, Azure AD (Entra ID), or Google Workspace directly to Workato Identity.
- Multi-environment provisioning — A single SCIM connection syncs users and groups across all environments using that IdP.
- Instant offboarding — Deactivating a user in the IdP immediately revokes access across all linked environments.
- IdP as source of truth — SCIM-managed entities are read-only in Workato, preventing configuration drift.
- Group-based access control — IdP groups replicate to environments for seamless permissions management across Genie, MCP, and GO.

- Partial search is supported on the KB Management main table for Title column, so builders can find documents with partial matches to Document Titles.
- View the cumulative storage footprint of any Custom KB based on total raw data ingested.
- View the full list of recipes feeding into a KB directly from the side panel.
- Remove files from the manual upload modal before confirming — and built-in validation prevents duplicate file names within the same batch.

Community Connectors: What’s new in Mar 2026
✨ Headlining our March 2026 release are three new connectors that expand automation across security, advertising, and public data workflows. Upwind brings runtime-powered cloud security into Workato, enabling teams to automate threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance workflows across their infrastructure. AdBook unlocks advertising and order management automation for media companies, making it easier to sync orders, retrieve pricing and targeting data, and integrate with downstream systems. gBizINFO introduces access to official Japanese corporate registry data, helping teams enrich records, support compliance checks, and power market analysis.
🔧 We also delivered meaningful enhancements across key connectors to improve flexibility and performance. Employment Hero now validates Organization IDs during setup for a smoother connection experience. Positional File Tool adds streaming capabilities for parsing and generating large flat files at scale. OpenAPI expands support for object-type query parameters, while Felix introduces batch tag management for vendor workflows. ServiceNow (Custom) enhances data access with new table search and listing actions. Google Vertex AI now supports Gemini 3 models via a global region option, Tableau adds JWT-based authentication, and Microsoft Entra ID introduces new batch triggers for improved user lifecycle automation.
🛠 Stability and reliability remain a priority. We resolved issues across UKG Pro, Freshdesk, Highspot, OData, and HiBob to improve payload handling, trigger accuracy, data formatting, authentication reliability, and schema clarity. These fixes help ensure more consistent performance and smoother day-to-day operations.
Whether you’re strengthening cloud security posture, automating advertising operations, enriching global business data, or scaling enterprise integrations, this release continues to broaden the reach and resilience of your automations 🚀

Expanded LLM models available in Agent Studio
Builders have full visibility and control over which LLM model powers their Genies in Agent Studio, with support for versioned models across Anthropic and OpenAI.
- Model selection — Choose specific versioned models across Anthropic (Sonnet 4.x) and OpenAI (GPT-5.x) directly in Agent Studio.
- Latest model access — Take advantage of the newest model releases as they become available from leading providers.
- Model audit logs — Track LLM model version changes and timestamps for each Genie, making it easier to correlate behavioral differences and troubleshoot.
- Auto-migration for deprecations — When LLM providers sunset older models, Genies automatically upgrade to a recommended replacement, preventing service disruption.
Upcoming auto-migration — April 14, 2026: Claude Sonnet 3.7 reaches end-of-life and all Genies still using it will automatically migrate to Sonnet 4.6. Rollback will not be available. Builders can upgrade early using the new model selection dropdown — testing in advance is recommended to ensure expected behavior.
