Ruby Mountain Release

This Year's Grand Finale: An Update That Shines Like a Ruby!

Take Your App Customization to the Next Level!

We’re thrilled to unveil exciting new customization options for the Info Alert and Start Screen, giving you unparalleled control over how tasks and information are displayed in your app!

Now, you can fine-tune dynamic titles and subtitles, add eye-catching custom icons, AND choose background and foreground colors that perfectly align with your brand or app aesthetics.

But that’s not all—our new f(x) mode lets you use dynamic color pickers to create adaptable visual cues based on conditions. Imagine colors changing automatically based on criteria, like using IF({{Something}}, '#FFFFFF', '#000000') to adjust shades on the fly.

Here’s the game-changer: no more relying on static info alerts at the bottom of the Start Screen to track task counts and navigate to the Task Screen. Now, you can configure the alert to open your very own custom Task List Screen, making task interaction smoother, smarter, and more personalized than ever.

Simplified Folder Selection for Google Integrations!

Say hello to a streamlined workflow with our brand-new Google Folder Picker for Google Drive and Spreadsheets integrations! Soon, you'll be able to effortlessly browse and select files or folders from your Google Drive—directly within the platform.

But here’s the best part: this update eliminates the need for CASA (Client Access Security Assessment) Certification, which was previously required for apps accessing Sensitive or Restricted API scopes. With CASA certification no longer free, this change is a game-changer for many users.

Now, you can skip the hassle, enjoy seamless file browsing, and keep your focus where it belongs—on getting things done! 🚀

**Stay In the Know with Real-Time Progress Upload Tracking!** 

We’re excited to roll out **real-time progress tracking** for your form submissions! With this new feature, you’ll have complete visibility into the status of your uploads from start to finish. No more second-guessing or waiting in uncertainty—now, you can watch your submission progress in real-time and know exactly when it’s successfully uploaded. 

Whether submitting data from the field or managing critical tasks in the office, this update brings peace of mind and ensures every submission is accounted for. It’s all about giving you the tools to stay informed, confident, and in control of your workflow. 🌟

Introducing Dynamic Text Evaluation with the EVAL Formula!

Get ready to take your forms to a whole new level of adaptability and intelligence with our latest feature: Dynamic Value Evaluation Using Indexed Placeholders. The game-changing EVAL formula empowers you to create smarter, data-driven forms that respond dynamically to user input and data sources.

How Does It Work?
EVAL lets you use indexed placeholders (like {{0}} , {{1}} , etc.) to dynamically populate field values. These placeholders automatically reference specific fields, making even the most complex background calculations simpler than ever.

Let’s See It in Action:

• {{0}} is dynamically replaced by the value in {{textfield1}} .
• {{1}} is replaced by {{textfield2}} .

This means you can now reference formulas stored in a data source to populate field values dynamically!

Example Scenario:
Say you fetch a formula from {{ds[0]}} and evaluate it using values from {{textfield1}} and {{textfield2}} .

Use Case Highlight:
Imagine a choice field linked to a data source where:

• The display column has options like Yes or No.
• The value column contains formulas to execute based on the selection.



If a user selects Yes, the corresponding formula might be:
  CONCAT("{{0}}", " and ", "{{1}}")

The dynamic value property would then be configured to evaluate this formula, generating a fully customized response based on the user's input.

Why Is This Exciting?
This feature unlocks the ability to create highly dynamic and adaptable forms, where content and workflows adjust in real time based on user inputs or underlying data sources. Whether you're tackling complex calculations or creating personalized experiences, the EVAL formula ensures your forms work smarter, not harder. 🚀

Streamline Your Workflows with the New Task Recurring API!

Here’s What You Can Do:

Smoother Password Resets for App-Only Users!

We heard you! Some of you using the app exclusively ran into a frustrating loop after updating your password via a web browser. You’d get redirected to the web portal login screen—only to hit a roadblock. We get it—confusion like that can be a real headache.

Here’s how we’ve fixed it:

• Password Reset Success Screen: After resetting your password, you’ll now see a dedicated success screen with a convenient “Redirect to App” button, allowing you to jump back into the app seamlessly—no more detours through the web portal login screen.
• Improved Web Portal Error Message: For app-only users, we’re introducing a clearer, more helpful error message that explains access is limited to the app, reducing confusion and guiding you in the right direction.

These updates are about reducing frustration, improving clarity, and ensuring you can return to the app smoothly. Your time matters, and we’re here to make things easier.

Obtain User ID from API Explorer/API Response

Good news! We’ve made a significant upgrade to our API responses to make your workflows smoother and more efficient. Previously, API responses only returned a GUID, which, while useful, made it tricky to identify users without additional steps. With this update, the User ID will be included in the API response—available when using an API Full Access Key.

Why is this important?
This improvement simplifies and streamlines a range of tasks, such as:

• Automatically Creating Contacts in CRMs: With the User ID readily available, you can seamlessly sync user data into external customer relationship management systems or other platforms that depend on precise user identification.
• Enhanced Integration with External Platforms: No more jumping through hoops to match GUIDs to User IDs. The process is now more intuitive, making it easier to connect and integrate your workflows with third-party systems.
• Time and Hassle Saved: By reducing the complexity of managing user data in your integrations, you’ll save valuable time and eliminate potential errors caused by manual data matching.
• This update is a game-changer for anyone managing complex workflows or leveraging external platforms. It ensures better compatibility, smoother automation, and less time spent on tedious manual tasks. Your integrations just got a whole lot smarter!

Unlock Greater Flexibility with the New AWS Custom S3 Endpoint Option!

We’re excited to announce the addition of a **AWS Custom S3 Endpoint** option in the Region settings. With this new feature, you’ll have the ability to specify your own custom S3 endpoint, giving you the freedom to integrate seamlessly with **S3-compliant third-party services**. 

Why is this update a big deal?

This enhancement is all about choice and control. It allows you to: 

- 'Leverage Alternative Storage Solutions:' Whether you’re using a specific third-party provider or an in-house S3-compatible service, you can now easily connect it to your workflows. 

- 'Maintain Full Data Compatibility:' By supporting the S3 standard, the integration remains robust and compatible, ensuring smooth operation no matter which compliant service you choose. 

- 'Optimize for Your Needs:' Whether it’s about cost savings, regional compliance, or performance, the custom endpoint option allows you to tailor your storage setup to align with your unique requirements. 

What does this mean for you?

With this update, integrating with alternative storage platforms is no longer a complicated process. You can maintain the same level of control over your data while enjoying greater flexibility to choose the solution that works best for your business. It’s a win-win for both customization and simplicity! 

Take control of your data storage strategy and make the most of this powerful new option. 🌐
