Summary

Continuous Workflows. Always Ready.

Type: Enhancement| Feature: Productivity Scalability | Packaging: Advanced Premium | 📖 Read the doc

We're introducing the option to choose between a one-time and a continuous workflow for ultimate process control. 

One-time workflows (default): Execute once for straightforward tasks, like product onboarding. 

Continuous workflows: Switch to continuous if you need a workflow to monitor data and trigger review actions with re-entry logic on new, updated, or attention-needed attributes as they appear.

What is re-entry logic? For continuous workflows, you can specify when an attribute trigger should re-enter the workflow, such as whenever it changes or only if a specific condition is met. This enables detailed automation, ensuring that workflows run precisely as intended.

That also means no more duplicating processes or missing critical changes. Every update in a continuous workflow undergoes the same validation as the initial one, ensuring your data remains compliant, accurate, and market-ready. Cosmetics brands use it to validate ingredient changes. Food companies rely on it for nutrition labels. Manufacturers trigger sustainability checks automatically.

Architectural AI. Smarter by Design.

AI that's robust, transparent, and collaborative is the foundation for this month's updates to Data Architect Agent. These updates include:

  • Context-aware follow-ups: The agent now prompts with focused questions (e.g., "Should 'blue leather' become two attributes?"), adapting models to your exact business logic.
  • Shared workspace: All models live in a shared environment. See colleagues' work, collaborate, and stay in sync. At the same time, edits are limited to your own models.
  • Source-linked transparency: Every data point links directly to its source file, making validation seamless.
  • Clear decision logic: The agent now explains its logical choices in plain language with the "why" behind each entity or structure, so you're never in the dark.
  • Automatic reference entities: Upload data and receive fast, relevant recommendations for reference entities and records.
