Auto-Named Steps Based on Connector Operation

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

This feature is currently being rolled out incrementally and may not yet be available to all users. Full availability is expected soon. If you're interested in using this feature, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or Account Executive.

Building schemas from JSON

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.

For more details, please see the feature's documentation.

Merlin Agent Builder Beta

Merlin Agent Builder is now available to users who attend one of our Agent Workshops Live or you can join the waitlist through your account manager.

Merlin Agent Builder is native tooling that sits on our iPaaS foundation to help you build agents securely that can take actions across your technology stack.

This feature includes a new UI to build and manage your agents as well as a set of connectors to invoke and power the agent.

We have three accelerators available alongside our workshops to help you get started.

Agents are a new paradigm for automation and we are just getting started.

Inline Functions: Transform Data in a Single Step

Overview

Copy

Inline Functions brings the familiarity of function-based transformations directly into your Tray workflows, enabling powerful data manipulation without leaving your connector steps. This game-changing feature optimises workflow efficiency whilst reducing complexity and task usage, allowing you to focus on building value-adding integrations.

Key Features

Copy

• Simple Syntax: Familiar function-based syntax makes data transformation accessible to users of all technical backgrounds (based on lodash library)

• In-connector Transformations: Transform data directly within connector steps, eliminating the need for additional helper connectors

• Comprehensive Function Library: Rich set of string, number, date, and boolean functions to handle complex data manipulation needs

• Dynamic Arguments: Use data from previous steps and project configuration seamlessly as function parameters (using Tray's jsonpaths)

• Intuitive Function Discovery: Built-in function search and syntax assistance helps you find and use the right transformations

Benefits

Copy

• Optimised Task Usage: Consolidate multiple helper steps into single transformations, reducing overall task consumption

• Enhanced Workflow Readability: Cleaner, more maintainable workflows with fewer steps and clearer data flow

• Reduced Technical Barrier: Perform complex transformations without requiring JavaScript or Python expertise

• Faster Execution: Streamlined workflows lead to quicker execution times and improved performance

Getting Started

Copy

Access Inline Functions through the f(x) input type option in any string-type field within your connector steps.

Visit our documentation to learn more about leveraging Inline Functions in your workflows, or watch this demo for a live walk-through of the current functionality.

Note: The current iteration supports string-type fields with date/time capabilities. Numbers and booleans are supported as string types. Additional type support will be introduced in future releases based on customer feedback.

API Reference Viewer for API Management Operations

An API reference viewer is now available in the Tray Operations UI, providing customers with a centralized, interactive view of API specifications. This feature offers an organized display of API details, including endpoint paths, request methods, parameter requirements, response formats, and error codes. The viewer enhances usability by structuring information clearly, allowing developers to quickly understand endpoint functionalities, data formats, and integration requirements.

Visit Tray API Reference Viewer for more details.

Delete all vectors from a Vector Table

If you need to quickly delete the contents of a Vector table you can - thanks to all your feedback. This makes running POCs and testing out knowledge bases even faster.

Ability to Style Individual Solutions with Custom CSS

We’re excited to announce that you can now style individual embedded solutions using CSS! 🎉 Previously, styling options were limited to global changes that applied to all solutions within an account, which made it challenging for customers with multiple embedded solutions designed for different purposes, languages, or audiences. Now, with this new flexibility, you can fine-tune the look and feel of each solution independently. This not only enables more precise styling but also makes it easier to manage changes in a controlled way, reducing the risk of unintended updates across your account.
