Activity log information in Console Console​

In the Console activity logs you can now see information about changes made to secrets (add, update, remove), and user removals from Console (users unregistered from the organization).

Email Connector Connectors​

The Email Connector allows you to integrate your BPMN service with any email server using POP3, IMAP, or SMTP. This new Connector enables you to automate the retrieval, deletion, search, and organization of emails directly within your processes.

To learn more about this Connector, see Email Connector.

Generate Connector templates (OpenAPI + Postman) SaaSConnectors​

You can now configure and automatically generate a custom Connector template in Web Modeler. This feature simplifies creating consistent, deployable templates, making Connector setup quicker and more flexible.

  • You can start from a blank template or import an existing API definition such as an OpenAPI specification, Swagger specification, or a Postman collection.
  • For example, download a Postman collection as a YAML file, import this into the generator, and choose which methods to include in the generated template.

To learn more about generating Connector templates, see generate a Connector template.

Monorepo Git sync Modeler​

When configuring Git sync in Web Modeler, define the optional /path option to unlock new use cases.

  • This option allows you to specify the path to the folder containing your process application files.
  • Sync with your main branch to perform visual diffing, collaboration, and manual testing in Web Modeler. Remember not to make any changes in this branch.
  • Vary the /path for multiple process applications to integrate Web Modeler with your existing monorepo containing all your code assets.

To learn more about configuring Git sync, see Git sync.

Resize clusters on SaaS SaaSConsole​

Enterprise customers can flexibly resize their clusters to adjust capacity and performance.

  • Increase or decrease the cluster size at any time by adding or removing hosting packages.
  • For example, increase the cluster size to improve performance and add capacity, or decrease the cluster size to free up reservations for another cluster.

To learn more about this feature, see resize a cluster.

Unified deployment experience for Web Modeler Self-ManagedModeler​

Deployment stages​

Predefined deployment stages for process applications are now also available in Web Modeler Self-Managed.

  • Select your dev, test, stage, and prod clusters to ensure process applications flow easily and predictably through your deployment pipeline.
  • For added control, do not assign a stage or prod environment to enable rapid iteration in Web Modeler while still ensuring deployments run through your approved pipeline.

Simplified deployment​

The deployment experience for Enterprise customers running Web Modeler Self-Managed is simplified.

  • During Camunda installation, you can configure your Helm chart to decide which clusters are available from Web Modeler by default, and save their connection information.
  • With this setup, you only need to select a cluster, and add secrets and a tenant ID as required.
