New features, updates, and enhancements of note are summarised by product area, below:

• ​Process flows​​​

• ​General UI​

Process flows

Type	Summary	Ref #
New	Notify shape Use this shape to send a custom notification message into the run logs and (if required) as an email alert to selected notification groups. Notify shape	CPT-3167
New	Track data shape The existing track data shape has been completely overhauled with new functionality within the shape itself, and related dashboard areas. In shape settings, you can now define your own success criteria to determine if a tracked entity was processed successfully or not. This can be particularly useful when sending data to systems that return 'successful' response codes even when there are data issues - now you can examine the payload and apply filters to mark a success/failure outcome for viewing in tracked data summaries. Track data shape	CPT-2515
New	Tracked data page A new tracked data page is available from the left-hand navigation menu. Use this to search for tracked entities and view their processing journey. Tracked data page	CPT-3345
New	Save response in payload A new save response in payload option is availabe in the response handling section of connector settings. Use this option to add the response from a request to the payload (meaning it can be interrogated subsequently using payload variables). By default, response information is added to payloads in a field named response but you can define your own field name if needed. The connector shape	CPT-2590
Change	Process flows home/overview page - tracked data The tracked data panel has been removed from the right-hand side of this page. Tracked data (tracked via the track data shape or tagged endpoints) is now accessed from the new tracked data page. Process flows home page	CPT-2869
New	Process flow settings - remove failed payloads A new remove failed payloads option is available from process flow settings. Now, when multiple payloads pass through a flow (for example, when receiving paginated data or batching one payload to many using flow control), you can use this option to remove any problematic payloads so the process flow can complete successfully. If a process flow completes with failed payloads, its status is set to partial success - any failed payloads can be viewed and downloaded from run logs. Process flow settings	CPT-3418
Enhancement	Run process flow shape When a run process flow is configured, you can now access the 'called' flow from a link included in shape info on the canvas. Run process flow shape	CPT-3145
Change	Settings drawer behaviour Previously when updating the settings drawer for any process flow shape, clicking outside of the drawer caused it to close - sometimes resulting in the loss of unsaved changes. Now, you must actively choose to save or cancel settings for the drawer to close. Process flow shapes	CPT-2912
Bug	SFTP connector - allow unsuccessful statuses Fixed an issue where the SFTP connector was not honouring the allow unsuccessful statuses option, so a flow would fail if a file could not be moved. SFTP connector setup	CPT-2607

General UI

Type	Summary	Ref #
Enhancement	Platform status information The status link in the left-hand navigation menu has been updated and now navigates to our refreshed status page.	CPT-3443
