Earlier this month, our entire team came together for a summit. We spent time working together in-person (we're all-remote) and discuss priorities for the coming months. That didn't hold us off from shipping product updates! Below are some highlights that I’m personally very excited about 🙂
Webhook upgrades
Firstly, we made many improvements to our Webhook integrations. Webhooks let you integrate Relay.app with any other flexible tool like your company’s own internal systems. You can use webhooks in 3 ways:
- Use the Webhook Trigger to kick off runs when an HTTP request is made to a unique playbook URL
- Use the Wait for incoming webhook step to “pauses” a playbook run until a request is received
- Use the Call webhook step to make a custom HTTP request, i.e. to kick off an action in another system
In March we completely revamped the ‘Call webhook’ step and we introduced support for using the server response in the remainder of your playbook. This has been a highly requested feature!
Setting it up is straightforward – you can either specify the response format manually, or you can simply paste an example response from a test request, and we will infer the structure. Definitely the easiest way to go!
Re-introducing step numbers
The second update is a small but effective one. We (re-)introduced showing step numbers before each step in the playbook editor, and these step numbers are also reflected in the variable chips. This makes it very easy to spot where a specific field came from.
This is especially helpful when your playbook contains multiple resources from a single app. More usability improvements to chips are in the works.
Finally, I’ll leave you with a teaser… 🤫 We’re currently testing an early version of the most requested feature to date. More on that soon!
See the full list of updates below, and don’t hesitate to reach out with your top feature requests!
