Marketplace

Type	Summary	Ref #
Bug	App install failure Fixed an issue where an app would fail to install due to an anomaly in the original creation process. This was a niche scenario around URL parameters not being cleared for connectors if the connector was changed prior to the app being uploaded to the marketplace. The Patchworks marketplace	CPT-2668
Bug	Missing connector information after app install Fixed an issue where connector information was sometimes missing for connectors that were installed as part of an app. This happened when the app included a process flow utilising a connector that was uploaded to a private marketplace. The Patchworks marketplace	CPT-2569

Process flows

Type	Summary	Ref #
New	Track data shape Use this shape to track data, either from a connector source, or a non-connector source (e.g. Inbound API, webhooks, or manual payloads). Tracked data is available for searching from the Process Flow Overview page. Track data shape	CPT-1536
Enhancement	Payload variables Payload variables now support any incoming data format (for example, JSON or text). Payload variables	CPT-1322
Enhancement	Connector shape - configurable retries It's now possible to configure the number of retries (between 0 and 2) that should be made when attempting to make a connection in a process flow. To mitigate connection issues due to rate limiting, you can also define a backoff value (in seconds). The connector shape	CPT-2333
Enhancement	SFTP logging Improved logging information for cases where a specified FTP path cannot be found. SFTP connections	CPT-2702
Change	Add to cache shape The way in which flow run caches are cleared has changed. For process flows that are NOT deployed, the cache is cleared in a 2-hour TTL window. However for deployed process flows, flow run caches are cleared as soon as the process flow completes. Add to cache shape	CPT-2370
Bug	Error logging Fixed issue where internal error was being reported following the failure of a flow where there was a valid reason for the failure. HTTP errors are now shown at the end of a failed flow run, including the status code and body of the response from the endpoint. Run logs	CPT-2511
Bug	Run logs scroll Fixed issue where auto-scrolling stopped after 1000 logs. The run logs page now continues to scroll after 1000 entries. Run logs	CPT-2440
