Release Notes

Install the latest version here: https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N4V00000FNBsKUAX

 

We strive to maintain backward compatibility with every release. We strongly recommend testing new app versions in a sandbox before deploying the latest version in your production org.

 

Latest Version: 7.30

  • Added ability to create more dynamic Lists of Values when generating JSON requests and responses, with values from different sources and each value having its own criteria. Learn more in the “Selecting a Source” section of this page.
  • Added formula functions that are able to parse dates and date/times that are in custom formats. See Using Formulas to learn more.
  • Support for application/x-www-form-urlencoded body format is now available in both request and response bodies
  • application/x-www-form-urlencoded body values are now URL encoded by default

 

Version: 7.25

  • We’ve  added an “Advanced Debug” option in Callout Templates and Inbound Call Templates that will generate a more advanced debug in the Call Log record. Look under Advanced tab.
  • Added ADDHOURS and ADDMINUTES functions in formulas
  • If Flow actions (for both inbound and outbound templates) you can now map the generated Call Log Id in a flow variable

 

Version: 7.19

  • When constructing a JSON body, you can now create a JSON ‘Parameter list’ of objects node, allowing you to add multiple objects to a list, with each having fields mapped individually.
  • When parsing a JSON list, you can now include a filter to select the correct object from the list.
  • In record upsert actions, there’s now an option to set a field as ‘Only on Update,’ similar to how ‘Only on Create’ works.
  • When testing inbound calls on the template page, you can choose to ‘Avoid authentication’ or run with authentication.
  • If you’re using the ‘Upsert a list of records’ action, you can now select values from outside the main list when mapping nodes to fields.

 

Version: 7.16

  • When creating or updating records through a response action (or inbound call action), you now have the possibility to set a lookup field based on an external id received in the request body.

 

Version: 7.13

  • In the process of defining the request body for outbound calls or the response body for inbound calls, you now possess the capability to choose values from related objects and delve into related lists to any desired depth. The previous restriction of being confined to a single level in related lists has been lifted. For instance, you can now map children and grandchildren, as well as related lists from associated objects. Additionally, you have the flexibility to filter any related list when mapping simple values or lists.
  • You are no longer limited to static node names. When defining the request body for outbound calls or the response body for inbound calls, you can now define a JSON or URL-encoded node name based on a field, formula, custom metadata, or custom setting.
  • You are no longer limited to a fixed request body structure in callout templates (or a fixed response body structure in inbound call templates). Now, you can define criteria to generate a node or not, using a formula.
  • The latest version of Declarative Webhooks empowers you to define the order in which response actions or inbound call actions run. If your actions depend on each other, you no longer have to worry about the sequence in which they execute.

Version: 6.16

  • New functions are now available in formulas: INDEXOF, LASTINDEXOF, LEN, LENBYTES, LEFTBYTES, RIGHTBYTES. Learn more about how to use formulas

  • You can now edit the main object of a template (and other fields) even if JSON nodes are already added, as long as there are no field mappings or formula nodes. This allows you to edit template details without having to recreate the request body or actions.

 

Version: 6.12

  • You can now use Custom Setting records as main objects in Callout and Inbound Call templates
  • Bug fixes

Version: 6.6

  • When testing an Inbound Call Template, you can now specify sample URL parameters, headers and request body to simulate an inbound call. Learn how you can test your inbound call.
  • When you are using Response Actions and Inbound Call Actions to map nodes from the callout response body or inbound call request body into Salesforce fields, you can now transform the values with the power of formulas. Additionally, formulas now support two more functions: ESCAPEHTML and UNESCAPEHTML. Learn more about how to use formulas.
  • Worried about hitting the callout/inbound call limits? With version 6.6, you will be notified by email when the number of calls are at 80% of the limit and again when the limits are reached. Make sure to set your email address in the Administration page.
  • If you are integrating with external systems that require Webhook Validation, like Zoom, you are covered! Declarative Webhooks now supports Webhook Validation!

 

Version: 6.4

  • Inbound call templates now support all HTTP methods: GET, POST, PATCH, PUT and DELETE, so you can implement a wider variety of inbound integrations
  • We added support for URL parameters in Inbound call templates. You can now use the URL parameters to identify records, map into fields and define action criteria
  • Bug fixes

 

Version: 6.2

  • Starting with this version, you can configure the response code when an inbound call authentication fails. While before, the app returns 403, now you can choose between 401 and 403

  • Small bug fixes

 

Version: 6.0

  • Starting with version 6.0, editing a template or sequence generates a Developer Name, unique to the org. This developer name can now be used to reference templates and sequences in flows, buttons or code. This helps out with deployment and avoids hardcoding record Ids in your Salesforce setup.
  • You can now define the Node Data Type for JSON nodes, instead of using the “With Quotes” checkbox. This feature makes mapping fields more reliable.
  • You can now make a callout synchronously in a flow and use the callout response in the flow logic after the callout.
