Release Notes

Saltbox Platform Release Notes for May 14, 2025

This monthly feature release includes several major features, including the express connect assistant, a greatly-improved messages page, asset groups, and more!

New Features

• Organize project assets using groups. This hierarchical organization is displayed on the project assets page and is similar to folders, however, these are not actual folders so will not appear on the project files page. A feature walkthrough can be found on the help site.

• Messages page improvements including:

  • Data Insights: At-a-glance insights provide a quick view into your message data.

  • Filtering: Filters are now automatically applied to both in-page data and related data insights and return results quickly.

  • Larger Data Sets: More data is loaded at once to provide a better foundation for data insights.

  • Data Groups: Data is now grouped by Project (at the tenant level), Workflow (at the project level) and Status, making it easier to see the information that’s most relevant to you.

  • Usability updates have also been applied, including:

    • Export as Excel or CSV.

    • “Go to workflow design” from any message type.

    • Filter by environment using the global environment picker.

  • A detailed feature walkthrough can be found on the help site.

• Express Connect Assistant helps get your data flowing quickly. Under the Projects menu, press the + button to launch the Express Connect Assistant. Key features include:

  • Select from available templates that support common business scenarios.

  • Set up Connector Configs in the assistant as prompted. Configs may continue to be accessed from the Project Settings page after installation.

  • For more info, visit help documentation.

The following early-access features have been released generally:

• Certain Connectors can launch their own apps. When a supported connector is installed, “Connector App Screens” are available in project assets.

• Generate schemas for triggers or actions without running the workflow, which can be used during Visual Data Mapper setup. Use the “Generate Schema” button on the trigger details pane or action details pane, and a sample file will be created in your workflow files.

• Manage access to your tenant, including all consultants. Add or remove consultant access via the Users page (Settings menu), and view audit logs to see who has accessed your tenant over time via the User Login Audit page (Settings menu - System Information sub-menu).

• Manage access to projects using the new project-oriented access page via the Access page (Settings menu), or via the Project Settings page in the new User Access section. This replaces the former Manage Groups page.

• Use the “Stagger the scheduled start time” option to offset your workflow’s start time. This option helps to avoid overlaps in similarly-scheduled triggers that use the same resource. For example, development verses production workflows that connect to the same SFTP host to download files.
