Top 10 Releases 

SAP Concur 

[Enhancement] CRUD capability for user provisioning 

We have now added the ability to create, update, and deactivate users in SAP Concur. This includes creating a new user, replacing an existing user, and deactivating a user by updating their active status. 

OpenAI 

[Enhancement] Add summarize action 

We added a "Summarize text" action to the OpenAI and "Ai by Workato" adapters. This new feature uses an underlying function to generate a set of parameters. Additionally, users can now configure the length of the resulting summary through the 'max_words' input field. 

Workday 

[Enhancement] Workday report feature enhancement 

We have made some improvements to improve our Workday report feature's user experience and functionality. 

1. For the "Scheduled Report Trigger", when the "Detect Report Schema Automatically" is set to "NO", the report schema inserted using schema designer will now generate datapills. This resolves the previous issue where the datapills were not produced. 2. We have updated the hint for the "Detect Report Schema Automatically" feature. It states that this function only works if the report URL is a string. 
2. We have also enhanced the "Report Columns" field to support JSON schema, aligning with our recent JSON format output support release. 

OneDrive 

[Enhancement] Bidirectional sync support 

We have significantly improved our OneDrive connector by introducing three new features to support bidirectional sync: 1. List Files and Folders: This feature allows users to list files and folders within OneDrive. 

1. Delete File or Folder: This feature allows users to remove unwanted files or folders, providing better control over their OneDrive content. 3. New Event Trigger: This new feature will alert users to specific events within their OneDrive, improving overall workflow and efficiency. These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to meet our customers' needs and enhance their experience with our product. 

Outlook 

[Enhancement] Pagination support 

We now support this by introducing two key changes. Firstly, an offset field has been added to provide the next page offset. Secondly, using the Outlook API, a timezone picklist has been incorporated to display the supported time zones.

Amazon S3 

[Enhancement] Support of custom action 

The connector has now been updated to include custom action support. This enhancement allows for more flexibility and customization in the use of Amazon S3. 

[Enhancement] Support extensive search objects operation with pagination 

We're excited to announce an upgrade to our S3 support, enhancing the search objects operation with broader search capabilities and pagination. Previously limited to returning up to 1000 records without search options. With this update, users can now: 

1. Search by providing delimiters and prefixes on the keys 
2. Specify "search-after" to fetch keys after a specific key 
3. Perform pagination by providing max results, next page token 

Google Sheets 

[Enhancement] Support Google sheet update rows in bulk 

Our ability to update Google Sheets is restricted by Google's API, which caps at 100 actions per minute, hindering updates for large data sets. We can only update one row at a time and require a batch update solution akin to the "add rows in bulk" feature. 

We've introduced a feature for bulk row updates akin to the "add rows in bulk" function, which only updates consecutive rows. The UI resembles adding rows in bulk, with 'row number' marking where updates start. If multiple items are listed and a starting row is chosen, all subsequent rows up to the list's end get updated. This feature supports a maximum of 50,000 records. 

LinkedIn 

[Enhancement] Upgrade to API Version 202401 

We have upgraded the LinkedIn version to 202401 and updated the associated actions and triggers. We have also deprecated some non-backward compatible actions/triggers and introduced new ones. Customers are advised to prepare for the deprecation of the old version by LinkedIn by adding r_marketing_leadgen_automation scope into their connection. 

SuccessFactors 

[Enhancement] Update environment picklist and documentation link 

The SuccessFactors environment picklist and SAP documentation link have been updated. The endpoint of DC4 (DC68) SalesDemo has also been updated. 

Custom Action/HTTP 

[Enhancement] Parsing for XML inputs outputs into schemas 

We've fixed a parsing issue for XML inputs in Custom Actions and HTTP, eliminating the need for manual XML output parsing. Our system automatically generates a schema from sample XML documents, simplifying the process by auto-generating output datapills when users paste a sample XML. Also, we've introduced support for converting JSON input into XML in the execute block.
