Key features and improvements

Job sharing

From now on, jobs can be shared in the same manner as flows. There is a new Jobs tab under Permissions that allows the user to select and share all of their jobs, or specific ones, with read-only (RO), or read and write (RW) permission. If there are shared jobs, they appear under the Jobs tab (in a “Shared” folder) of the relevant user.

  • If a user has RO access for a job, they can see the job itself, and also all the logs produced by executions of that job.

  • If a user has RW permission for another user's jobs folder, the user can also create a new job under that user, as well as edit or delete any existing job.

Detailed information when deleting items

When deleting workflows, auths, or integrations, a dialog providing detailed information on what exactly you are deleting is shown.

SSH key authentication added to GIT

You can use SSH key auth from now on when pushing flows to GIT.

Worker groups are added to the logs

On the top of status, started and ended time, URI, and output, you can now also see the worker group for each flow executed by checking the logs.

Various bug fixes and improvements

Lots of bug fixes, stability, performance and UI/UX improvements, as well as:

  • If the user has enabled system variables, they no longer need to supply the wrap_body and wrap_header parameters

  • Improved flow importing

  • Redesigned Start block
