What's new?

• Additional roles available: Admin and Viewer role. The admin can change the workflows of other users within a tenant. The viewer can only view all tenant flows 

• The quota for the execution of workflows was improved.

• New nodes: 

  • read files: sends the file contents as a message (only for non-binary files).

  • list files: Sends the file list of an asset as an array.

  • write files: Writes the received message to a file.

  • http in / http response: HTTP in and HTTP out can be used to create a flow, which is enabled by sending an HTTP request to a provided endpoint. The endpoint is shown in the dialog of the HTTP IN node. The flow which is triggered has to be closed with an HTTP out node (that means: The last message of the flow is received by the HTTP OUT node). The HTTP out node finishes the HTTP request and sends the received message as a response to the caller. Note that a valid user token has to be provided! The created HTTP endpoint does not work without that token.

  • Delay: The delay node provides two operational modes:

• Delay each message: resends every received message at a later time (fixed or random), that can be configured either in the dialog or by setting the property msg.delay (in seconds).

• Rate limit: lets you limit the number of messages that are send through the delay node. If more messages are sent, these can be dropped or cached (up to 50 messages). The cached messages will be sent with a fixed interval, that is configured in the dialog.

  • Array nodes: These nodes represent filter, map, find and reduce methods of JavaScript array. The user has to provide some code, which will be used by nodes.

• Filter node will return a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.

• Map node will return a new array with the results of calling a provided function on every element in the calling array.

• Find node will return the value of the first element in the array that satisfies the provided testing function. Otherwise undefined is returned.

• Reduce node will apply a function against an accumulator and each element in the array (from left to right) to reduce it to a single value.

• Improved nodes:

  • generate node: Very easy creation of basic signals. There are several  types of signal available and parameters to control amplitude, frequency, etc.

  • Read timeseries node: More than one variable can be selected.

  • Inject node: timezone possibilities improved.
