Features & Enhancements

Item Description
Feature Editor UX improvements

Updates were made to the editor to make navigation more intuitive and aligned with Google patterns. Editor changes include:

  • Undo and redo buttons are now part of the navigation bar next to the Save button
  • The delete confirmations have been updated. For items whose deletes are undoable, after clicking on "Delete" you will see a pop up in the center bottom of the Editor, where you will be able to click "Undo" immediately after removal. For elements where deletes are automatically saved, for example Tables, you will now see a confirmation dialog to let you know the delete cannot be undone.
  • Snackbars (notification bars) now match Google material and are placed in the center.

    Deployed to 30% of free users.

Feature Call Process automation tasks can now supply input by either adding a new record or performing a lookup for an existing record.

Bug Fixes

Bug Uploaded text files will now open with the UTF-8 charset, enabling some characters that were not rendered properly before.
