Designing workflows is easier, and daily activity is easier to follow
Flow now has faster workflow design tools, tasks you can answer in chat, and a live Operations Center for administrators. Access controls, reports, and data-driven steps have also improved.
In the workflow designer, you can choose a light, dark, or system theme and follow numbered steps and return paths more easily. Keyboard shortcuts, undo, quick command search, an add-step menu beside the workflow, and hideable panels give you more room to work. The new “Ask in Chat” step collects answers in a conversation and uses them in the workflow; the AI design assistant recognizes this step too. Formatted messages are easier to read on the portal and mobile, and read-only tables in task forms are clearer.
Administrators can follow activity live in the new Operations Center and see the names and details of the workflows and tasks that are moving forward. The data source name, a masked query outline, and the row count are shown. Organizations can restrict user access by approved network addresses and selected hours, while routine access checks no longer reload open web pages unnecessarily. Administrators can create free dealer accounts, and new customers who sign up through a dealer link are placed under that dealer's organization.
Dataset previews work again and preserve date and time values. Report settings can use workflow information, and a workflow ending with a report opens its result in a new tab. An AI step can fill in values for a predefined, read-only data query without changing the query itself. Data work in dashboards and customer apps is smoother; connections in older apps, intermittent data access failures, and incorrect success or error paths have been fixed. Attempts to start workflows from external triggers with invalid keys and to impersonate official workflow messages in chat are now blocked.
