Customers can subscribe to one of three Patchworks BI tiers: standard, professional and enterprise.
Patchworks BI launches at the end of January 2023, whereupon Patchworks customers can upgrade to a BI subscription plan. To read more, please see our product documentation. If you would like a demo, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Patchworks Sales team.
Payload-level custom scripts can be used for cases where you need to manipulate the payload that gets pulled from a source system before it is pushed to your required destination.
For example, you might add a Patchworks service to sync products between two systems, but need to exclude certain SKUs from the sync. If your source system does not support filtering at this level, a payload-level custom script can be defined to perform this operation.
Payload-level scripts are added and tested within the custom scripts area, before being added to required services.
For further information, please see our product documentation.
An audit log is now available for every custom script. If an existing script is changed and saved, those changes are logged and differences can be viewed in an audit log via a new view changes button:
From here, you can choose to restore a previous version.
