New RESTful API to fetch application events
Available in our new RESTful APIs, we’re adding a call that allows an app admin to pull a list of all trigger-based events. This will include the primary meta-data, such as who owns it. This API call helps builders when documenting or governing applications. The following types of event triggers are covered:
- Webhooks
- Quick Base Actions
- Event-based Automations
- Notifications
- Subscriptions
- Reminders
Note: For each type of event, only the base trigger information is included. Full details on what actions the events perform are not included.
New formula functions: NameOfMonth and GetFieldProperty
To assist builders both in simplicity of creating applications and more advanced use cases, we have added two new formula functions.
- NameOfMonth: Many builders create “if” and “case” statements combined with the Month() function to output the name of the month (“January” instead of “1”). This formula function simplifies that for builders.
- GetFieldProperty: For when builders are creating advanced use cases that require that application data be dynamic and configurable, this function allows builders to pull a subset of field properties for fields on the same table.
New table report enhancements
We updated the look and feel of our checkboxes to increase the color contrast and make them easier to read.
We also improved the interaction of our column headers:
- Click on the entire header cell to initiate a sort rather than just on the field name
- Visualize sort direction with improved indicators
- More easily resize columns with wider handles.
Data classification: Additional preset classification
We added "Public” and an associated description as a preset data classification.
IP filtering: Additional notes field
We've added a free-text notes field that customers can fill out when adding or modifying an IP filter. Now admins can leave relevant notes about the IP addresses they’re adding to their list, giving more visibility into why they’ve been added.
Pipelines enhancements
-
The Jira channel supports custom fields - if you have custom fields in Jira, now you can search and edit them.
-
In the Outlook Channel you can search through all the calendar events without having to enter a subject field.
-
Webhooks Channel’s DELETE method now lets you send a BODY. This is especially useful if you want to use our new RESTful API Delete records call.
-
If your filter is not valid, a message will display to let you know.
