Workflow Orchestration: Multi-Step Automation with Visual Editing

Build complex multi-step workflows without writing code. Chain compute functions together, add conditional branching, schedule delays, and monitor every execution with detailed observability.

Added
  • Workflow Orchestration — visual editor for building multi-step workflows that chain compute functions with automatic retry and error handling.
  • Decision Steps — route workflows based on data conditions with 10 comparison operators (equals, greater than, exists, in array, etc.) and support for multiple conditions per case.
  • Delay Steps — pause workflow execution for specified durations, perfect for reminder emails, approval timeouts, or rate-limited API calls.
  • Event-Driven Triggers — automatically start workflows when records are created, updated, deleted, or restored.
  • HTTP Webhook Triggers — expose public webhook endpoints with optional HMAC-256 signature validation for secure integrations.
  • Scheduled Triggers — run workflows on cron schedules, fixed intervals, or one-time execution with timezone support.
  • On-Demand Triggers — start workflows manually via API with custom input data.
  • Run Observability — track every workflow execution with step-by-step history, input/output inspection, activity logs, and execution traces.
  • Available Paths Reference — in-editor documentation showing how to reference trigger input, context variables, and step outputs in decision conditions.
Improved
  • Console UI gains new Orchestrations section with workflow list, visual editor, and run history views.
  • Compute functions can now be chained in orchestrations with automatic context passing between steps.
v2.8.0Jan 7, 2026

Permission Introspection, Compute Job Queues, and Security Enhancements

Debug and fix permission issues in seconds with the new Permission Introspection feature. Simulate authorization checks, see exactly why access is denied, and apply fixes with the guided remediation wizard.
