### 2026-02-24 — Data Engineering: SQL Transformer (Features)

Source: https://tray.ai/documentation/releases/features/data-engineering-sql-transformer.md

We’ve introduced **SQL Transformer** as part of **Tray Data Engineering** capabilities - enabling you to run SQL queries against data loaded from files within your workflows.

Instead of building complex, multi-step data-shaping logic using loops, list helpers, and script steps, you can now use a single SQL query to join, filter, aggregate, and reshape datasets. This makes workflows easier to read, maintain, and scale.

**What you can do**

* Join data from multiple files
* Filter and transform large datasets in a single query
* Perform aggregations and grouping operations
* Reshape data before sending it to downstream systems or AI tools

**Why it’s useful**

* Reduce workflow step count and complexity
* Replace row-by-row processing with set-based logic
* Improve maintainability of data-heavy workflows
* Prepare structured data for AI, analytics, or external systems

If you can express the outcome in SQL, you can execute it in one step.

If you're interested in using SQL Transformer, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or Account Executive to request access.

You can learn more in the [**documentation**](https://tray.ai/documentation/platform/automation-integration/advanced-use-cases/sql-transformer).

Source: https://tray.ai/documentation/releases/deprecations/connector-builder-deprecation.md

## Overview

We are deprecating Connector Builder and advising customers to migrate to the Connector Development Kit (CDK) for building connectors.

## Timeline

* **February, 2026**: Creating new connectors in Connector Builder is no longer available.
* ***Date to be confirmed***: Editing for existing Connector Builder connectors will be permanently disabled (Connector Builder fully deprecated).

## Impact

* Existing Connector Builder connectors will continue to run in workflows without disruption.
* **When the depreciation date is confirmed**, you will not be able to edit or update Connector Builder connectors.
* Any future connector development or updates must be done using CDK.

## Recommended action

If you maintain Connector Builder connectors that may need updates in the future, review your connector inventory and plan your transition to CDK. We will notify you once a new depreciation date has been confirmed. We plan to invest in the CDK to support your transition.

### 2025-05-09 — Manual Error Handling Improvements (Features)

Source: https://tray.ai/documentation/releases/features/manual-error-handling-improvements.md

You now have more control over errors when choosing manual error handling. With this change, Tray will follow the failure paths for all errors without any automatic retries and backoffs. This now allows you to reference the error message allowing you to action errors in the manual handling path.

Your workflows will continue to use the existing error behaviours unless you explicitly disable it in the workflow settings. This gives you full control over when and where to adopt the new behaviours, without any risk of disruption to your current workflows.

For full information, including on how to enable this please visit our [What is an Error](https://tray.ai/documentation/platform/automation-integration/building-workflows/configuring-steps/error-handling) documentation.

### 2025-04-03 — Create and Retrieve Namespace CDK Commands (Features)

Source: https://tray.ai/documentation/releases/features/create-and-retrieve-namespace-cdk-commands.md

You can now create and retrieve namespaces for your organisation using the following new commands introduced to the tray CDK. You no longer need to contact support desk before deploying your first CDK connector deployment to the platform.

To create a new namespace for your organisation:

`$ tray-cdk namespace create ORGID NAMESPACE [--us] [--eu] [--ap]`

To retrieve a namespace from your organisation:

`$ tray-cdk namespace get ORGID [--us] [--eu] [--ap]`

Where ORGID is the unique identifier of your organisation, which can be found in the tray app URL, for example `https://app.tray.io/workspaces/ORGID`

When creating a namespace we recommend:

* Associating with your company’s legal entity or brand name
* Choose a shorter name over a longer one
* Hyphens are supported, numbers and other symbols are not supported
* For example `enter-company-name`

### 2025-02-27 — New Variables in Alerting Workflows (Features)

### 2025-02-26 — SDLC: Improved Workflow Cleanup During Project Import (Fixes)

Source: https://tray.ai/documentation/releases/fixes/sdlc-improved-workflow-cleanup-during-project-import.md

We've updated how workflows are handled during project imports to ensure better consistency and prevent unintended workflow execution. When importing a project that has had workflows removed, those workflows will now be deleted in the destination project rather than being detached and preserved as standalone workflows.

For example, when importing a project from development to production, any workflows deleted in development will now be automatically removed from the production project, maintaining perfect synchronization between environments.

This change helps prevent potential confusion and security risks from orphaned workflows that previously would have continued running outside project scope.

### 2025-02-20 — Instantly Test Workflows with Mock Data (Features)

Source: https://tray.ai/documentation/releases/features/instantly-test-workflows-with-mock-data.md

You can now easily test workflows that start with non-manual triggers - no more complicated workarounds.

Simply provide **mock trigger output data** and run the workflow immediately, just as if the real event had occurred.

To make this even easier, we’ve added **Raw JSON input**, allowing you to define test data freely - no UI restrictions. Use the **Basic editor** for structured input or switch to **Raw JSON** for full control.

This feature is currently available for a subset of non-manual triggers:

* Alert
* API Operation
* Callable
* Email
* Form
* Schedule
* Webhook

Source: https://tray.ai/documentation/releases/features/optional-strict-mode-for-schema-validation.md

We've introduced the ability to disable Strict Mode in API Operation triggers, offering more flexibility in handling JSON payloads. This enhancement allows fields not defined in the schema to flow through to your workflow instead of being filtered out.

![non-strict-mode](https://tray.ai/documentation/images/releases/features/optional-strict-mode-for-schema-validation/non-strict-mode.png)

### 2025-01-23 — SDLC: Custom Project Version Numbers (Features)

Source: https://tray.ai/documentation/releases/features/sdlc-custom-project-version-numbers.md

We've enhanced the Project Versioning functionality in our SDLC toolset to provide greater flexibility and control over version management. This update builds on the existing versioning capabilities by introducing the ability to save **custom project version numbers**, allowing you to align version numbers with your environment promotion processes or external systems.

What's new- **Custom Version Selection**: Manually specify version numbers when saving a project version, breaking free from previous auto-incrementation constraints. Version numbers must still follow the `major.minor `numeric pattern.

* **Consistent Versioning**: Create new versions regardless of the previous version number (ensuring uniqueness), enabling better alignment with external systems and in multi-environment setups.

![custom-version-number](https://tray.ai/documentation/images/releases/features/sdlc-custom-project-version-numbers/custom-version-number.png)

### 2025-01-21 — SDLC API Suite (Features)

Source: https://tray.ai/documentation/releases/features/sdlc-api-suite.md

We have added new API endpoints to our Connectivity API suits, for all recently added SDLC features, including project version management, dependencies and deployment management. These new capabilities allow you to integrate deployment of Tray into existing CI/CD pipelines, eliminating the need for manual UI-based steps.

This is especially beneficial for cross-region deployments and embedded use cases, where managing multiple organizations was previously a tedious process.

**What this enables:**

* Automate **version management**, including creating, listing, exporting, and importing project versions.
* **Customize deployment pipelines** instead of relying on fixed UI experience.
* Promote projects\*\* across environments, regions, and organizations \*\*programmatically.
* **Validate import** requirements and preview changes before committing deployments.
* **Handle dependencies** such as authentication and service mappings in an automated way.

### 2025-01-16 — Auto-Named Steps Based on Connector Operation (Features)

Source: https://tray.ai/documentation/releases/features/auto-named-steps-based-on-connector-operation.md

Steps are now **automatically named based on their operation**, giving you a clear, at-a-glance understanding of what each step does.Here’s what’s new:

* Instead of generic names like “Gmail” or “Text Helpers,” steps are now auto-named by their specific operations, e.g. "Send message", "Concatenate" or “List reports”.
* When you change the operation of a step, its name updates automatically to reflect the new operation - unless you’ve given it a custom name, which we preserve.

Workflows now essentially document themselves, making it easier to understand their functionality at a glance. This means less time spent naming steps and more time building powerful automations.

### 2025-01-07 — Building schemas from JSON (Features)

Source: https://tray.ai/documentation/releases/features/building-schemas-from-json.md

We’ve introduced a faster way to define and edit complex data structures in step properties, callables, config, and API schemas: **Building schemas from JSON.**

* **Step Properties**: Quickly generate objects and arrays by pasting JSON.
* **Callable Workflows & APIM Schemas**: Easily create input/output schemas with a JSON sample.
* **Project Config**: Edit your configuration directly with the new *Raw JSON*\*\* \*\*tab.
