Changelog
Keep up with the latest updates we’ve made in Workato.
Specify personal date and time format from profile settings
You can now choose between 12 and 24 hour and between m/d/y and d/m/y formats from your profile settings. Available formats are:
- Dec 31, 2024 1:00 PM (%b %d, %Y %l:%M %p)
- Dec 31, 2024 13:00 (%b %d, %Y %H:%M)
- 31 Dec, 2024 1:00 PM (%d %b, %Y %l:%M %p)
- 31 Dec, 2024 13:00 (%d %b, %Y %H:%M)
The option you choose here is reflected across your workspace, but will not affect date and time format for other users in this workspace.
Formula generation added for Recipe Copilot
For workspaces with Recipe Copilot enabled, you can now use natural language to ask Copilot to generate a formula to accomplish your goal. Copilot evaluates what combination of data pills and/or formulas will best satisfy your request, before offering you a suggestion to accept or revise as needed.
This functionality receives data about your current recipe, which may include metadata about custom fields in your systems, but does not receive any job data.
Wait for Response available for HTTP Connector
If you know an endpoint will take more than a few seconds to respond, you can now configure the HTTP action as a long action. The action will wait for a response for up to an hour, but does not guarantee ordering of job execution.
HTTP long action is a a beta release, available to everyone using Workato's HTTP connector.
Audit log streaming retry
In the event Workato is unable to stream a log to the specified destination, Workato will retry sending the log repeatedly using an exponential backoff formula. To enable this, logs are kept in a persistent cache until:
- The audit log reaches its destination successfully, or
- Seven (7) days have passed.
Each retry attempt is logged in the Workato Logs service for visibility into the process.

SAP OData Connector now supports catalog service for easy recipe building
Previously, working with the SAP OData connector required entering the internal technical name of the desired service and manually checking permissions to said service. Now, when the catalog service is enabled, creating an action or trigger will prompt a user-friendly dropdown menu, offering a selection of OData services and enhancing efficiency and reducing errors.
New Wait for resume action for Connector SDK
Wait for resume actions allow you to define actions that can suspend jobs until an event takes place in an external system, such as waiting for an invoice to be approved, or waiting for an email to be opened. With this new action, builders and partners alike can better model workflows and simplify their recipe build experience.
Automatically generate assets when creating a manifest with the Developer or Embedded API
The new auto_generate_assets
property can be used to automatically generate the assets list of the specified folder when creating (Developer API / Embedded API) or updating (Developer API / Embedded API) a manifest. This new property eliminates the need to manually list each asset to be included in the created manifest. The auto_generate_assets
property can be used in conjunction with the following new properties:
include_test_cases
: include test cases if specified, false by defaultinclude_data
: include data if specified, false by defaultauto_run
: start package generation automatically, false by default

Embedded deployment environments for Embedded Partners
Beginning today, new Embedded Partners will have the ability to provision Environments for their customers. The Environments feature allows built-in access to Development, Test, and Production deployment environments, giving way for a well-structured change management process within the automation framework.
For existing Embedded Partners, this functionality will be rolled out in the next 2-4 weeks upon request, or to all partners in general availability after that. You can read more about Embedded Environments on our Product Hub.
