We are excited to announce the latest updates from our September release, packed with new features and enhancements to help streamline your workflows. From improvements to the platform and AI-powered tools to expanded connectivity and powerful updates for B2B Manager, here’s everything you need to know.

New platform features to improve builder efficiency

Our platform has been updated with several new features designed to enhance the user experience for builders and leverage AI to make the integration process smoother and more efficient.

  • Access to execution details for enhanced analytics: Builders can now access job object details and testMode via handlebars across all flow steps. This enables improved tracking and reporting of synced records in data warehouse or DevOps solutions, giving builders better insights into flow execution and performance.
  • Drag and drop for branched flows: To streamline workflow management, we’ve introduced drag-and-drop functionality for branched flows. Builders can now easily reorganize flow steps without the need to delete and re-add steps, improving both efficiency and user experience.
  • Handlebars auto-suggestion dropdown UX: We’ve made improvements to the Handlebars auto-suggestion dropdown. Now, when a field or helper is selected, it no longer overwrites existing text but is seamlessly inserted at the cursor position. This enhancement makes building expressions more intuitive and reduces manual corrections.
  • Text2SQL for Oracle DB Connector: Celigo AI is now available for the Oracle DB connector, allowing users to write SQL queries using plain English instructions. This feature bridges the knowledge gap for less technical users, reducing the time needed to create complex queries. 

Expanded HTTP connector library

With this release, we’ve added 18 new prebuilt HTTP connectors. In the ecommerce category, new connectors include Alokai (formerly Vue Storefront) and Amazon Pay Reports. For Field Service Management (FSM), we’ve introduced Oracle Field Service Cloud, ServiceMax, and Jobber. Other connectors in this release are MarketTime, ConnectWise, Aircall, Contentful, Bullhorn, Zoho Inventory, Oracle EPM, Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE Tax, Twilio SendGrid, Microsoft OneDrive, Paddle, and Microsoft Graph. 

EDI dashboard enhancements in B2B Manager

In this release, we’re excited to introduce several key updates to the EDI dashboard:

  • Search functionality: A new search feature allows users to quickly find records by Document ID, Sender ID, or Receiver ID, with Document ID set as the default. This improvement makes navigating and retrieving specific EDI data faster and more efficient.
  • Advanced filtering options: The EDI dashboard now includes more filtering capabilities, enabling users to filter records by FA Status, Document Type, Direction, and File Type. This added flexibility simplifies the analysis of EDI transactions and helps users zero in on the data that matters most.
  • Increased page size: To enhance usability, we’ve increased the maximum number of rows displayed per page from 50 to 100. This change reduces unnecessary navigation across multiple pages, making it easier to view larger datasets in one place.
  • Sticky column headers: We’ve implemented sticky column headers to help users maintain clarity as they scroll through long lists of records. This update ensures that column headers remain visible, reducing confusion when analyzing large amounts of data.

These updates are designed to optimize your experience, providing more tools to search, filter, and manage your EDI records effectively.

New trading partners for B2B Manager

As part of our efforts to support growing businesses, we’ve added new trading partners to the B2B Manager. 

  • Department stores: AAFES, Kohls, Nordstrom, Macys, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, JC Penney, Kmart, BJs Wholesale, Public Lands, Target DropShip
  • Home improvement: Ace Hardware, William Sonoma, Lowes
  • Consumer electronics: Best Buy US
  • Sporting goods: Dicks Sporting Goods, DSG DropShip
  • General merchandise: Walmart US, Amazon Direct Fulfillment, Costco Wholesale, Dollar Tree
