Release Notes 3-1-2026

We are excited to announce our latest feature release, live as of March 1, 2026. This release brings massive architectural upgrades to our backend, highly requested integrations for Google and Microsoft ecosystems, a brand new email builder, and vital bug fixes to keep your workflows running smoothly.

Here is the breakdown of what is included in this release:

New Features

Custom Async Worker Queue System: We have completely replaced Celery with a custom, high-performance, pure Python async worker queue using a caching database. This overhaul resolves past async limitations and fully supports delayed execution, automatic retries, rate limiting, and cron scheduling natively.
Microsoft Graph Integration (Phases 1 & 2): You can now securely connect Microsoft 365 accounts via OAuth2 to fetch user profile data and list recent emails. This lays the groundwork for deeper calendar and inbox syncing in the future.
No-Code & Pro-Code Email Builder: A brand new drag-and-drop template builder that supports Mustache templates for dynamic data injection (e.g., {{contact.first_name}}). It includes advanced block types like multi-column layouts and features a split-view HTML editor for power users.
Automation & Drip Execution Logs: We have introduced a detailed automation_execution_log to track every workflow run. You can now easily inspect steps taken, inputs, outputs, errors, and actual scheduled run times for future drip campaigns.
Google Workspace Manager: A new suite of synchronization engines and real-time watch controls for Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive. This update also allows for dynamic React component injection for customized app-building.
Calendar Sync Upgrades: Valstorm now respects Google Calendar as the source of truth—deleting an event in GCal will properly delete it in Valstorm. Additionally, calendar attachments (like recordings and meeting notes) are now synchronized.
Flow Mustache Editor: A context-aware autocomplete editor has been added to the automation flow builder, making it easier to reference system variables and step outputs without guessing the schema path.
Web Worker Nodes: New nodes are available in the builder for website scraping and converting HTML to Markdown.
LinkedIn Profile Fetcher: Automatically parse and fetch data from LinkedIn profiles and company pages.
Inbound Call Notifications: You can now toggle desktop notifications for incoming calls.
Draggable Alerts: You now have the ability to freely move UI alerts around your screen so they don't block your work.

Feature Improvements

Advanced UI Query Builder: We replaced the legacy SQL builder with a high-density, schema-aware visual query builder. It features dynamic filter rules, real-time previews, and an "eject" mode for manually writing custom SQL or Mongo queries.
Notification Bell Upgrades: You now have the ability to clear individual notifications, bulk-clear groups, check specific details, and navigate directly to the applicable record from the notification tray.
Backend Performance Enhancements: Upgraded core dependencies to fully support asynchronous operations.
Phone Field Advancements: The phone field now supports country code selection, phone number verification, and an advanced review mode.
Persistent URL Filters: Active filters are now saved to URL parameters. This prevents the UI from jarringly "flipping around" on refresh and makes filtered views easy to share.
Dashboard & Component Updates: Overhauled report and dashboard structures, improved Kanban board behavior (modals now open in "New" mode appropriately), and transitioned record page components to use direct Mongo Queries.
Navigation: Deployed general upgrades to platform navigation for smoother, faster routing.

Feature Requests

Mobile-Optimized Click-to-Text: Clicking to text from the main app will now appropriately open your device's native messaging app instead of a main window modal, speeding up communication.
Expanded Emojis: Added a wider variety of emojis to use across the platform!

Bug Fixes

Google Sync Reliability: Fixed a major issue where Google Calendar and Drive subscription renewals were dropping prematurely due to strict 24-hour expiration windows. Subscriptions are now safely buffered and renewed across all environments. We also fixed a URL encoding bug preventing the Dev Console from starting the sync.
Salesforce Click-to-Call: Restored functionality for dialing out directly by clicking phone numbers in Salesforce, and fixed an issue where contact details views were missing or unclickable.
Multi-Lookup Typing: Resolved an issue preventing users from typing to search and add contacts during ticket creation.
Marketplace Registration: Fixed a backend glitch where marketplace registration would occasionally miss the base app installation.
Percent Fields: Addressed formatting and save errors associated with percent-based data fields.

Epics

Major Release Logistics (3-1-2026): Tracked the successful deployment of IO-workers, execution script updates, Kubernetes scheduler integrations, and app subscriber updates to facilitate this major milestone.
