Autom Mate 4.5.0 “Boston” is a milestone release focused on delivering a smoother and more powerful experience across the Autom Page. With significant improvements in Autom navigation, drop area interaction, and visual guidance tools, this release boosts both usability and system performance—especially when working with large-scale automation Automs.
This version introduces major new capabilities such as the ability to disable actions or entire groups, a Stop and Error control that halts Autom execution, and right-click enhancements for faster configuration access. On top of that, backend robustness has been strengthened with fixes for high-impact issues like credential errors, permission toggles, and response size constraints.
Supporting features such as direct navigation to monitoring logs, Autom duplication, redesigned help resources, last modified visibility, and improvements in monitoring and alert interfaces further empower users to build and manage automation more effectively.
Application Credential Crash Handling – Prevents Autom execution failures by providing a clear message when credentials are missing.
RWS Content Size Limit – Ensures stability by rejecting any RWS response above 60MB. You can find RWS library details and usage .
Exceeding the 60MB limit causes the Autom to fail.
If the RWS response payload (including downloaded attachments or returned data from APIs) exceeds 60MB, the Autom execution will fail with the following error message: “Content is too big, maximum content limit is 60 MB.”
This size limitation applies globally and affects all Autom versions — including those created prior to this release. Even previously working Automations may now fail if the data returned from APIs or file downloads exceeds the enforced limit. We strongly recommend auditing and testing your existing Automations that use RWS actions, especially those handling large API responses or attachments.
To prevent service interruption, ensure integrated systems are configured to return responses below this threshold. If your use case requires handling larger payloads, please reach out to [email protected] for architectural guidance and support.
Permission Checkbox Logic – Resolves an issue where the update button wouldn't activate after permission changes.
Mate Agent Deletion Message – Clarifies the deletion confirmation message for better user understanding.
RWS 429 Crash Issue – Makes RWS handling more resilient to rate-limiting and peer reset errors.
Go To Monitoring Fixed – Ensures “Go to” Autom actions display correctly in monitoring.
Prevent Instance Indexing in Microsoft Bing – Instance URLs are now excluded from Microsoft Bing indexing to prevent unintended public visibility.
This change prevents future indexing, but previously indexed pages may still appear in Bing due to caching. We recommend reviewing exposed URLs and submitting removal requests through Bing Webmaster Tools to ensure complete delisting.
Autom Navigation with Ctrl, Shift, and Space – Introduces keyboard and mouse shortcuts for efficient navigation across large Automs .
Actions cannot be selected in this mode to avoid interference.
Redesign of Drop Area and Performance Optimizations – Enhances drop area structure and improves performance up to 20%.
Drop Area Dotted Visualization – Ensures the dotted guide of the drop area is always visible.
Horizontal Scrolling with Shift Key – Allows horizontal panning with Shift + Mouse Wheel for easier navigation.
Zoom and Hand Tool Info Texts – Improves discoverability of canvas controls with updated tooltip guidance.
Alerts Page Typos Fixed - Corrects small spelling and punctuation mistakes on the Alerts page for a more polished interface.
Alerts Page UI Enhancement – Corrects UI for a cleaner presentation.
Help Menu Redesign – Adds quick access links to support, docs, Udemy training, and community pages.
Disable Action Option – Lets users skip actions or groups during execution for testing purposes.
Disabled groups skip all nested actions and can impact Autom logic.
Right Click to Open Edit Module – Enables direct access to the configuration modal via right-click.
Duplicate Autom – Allows users to create editable copies of existing Autom Autom in one click.
MateDrive configurations are not included in the duplication process and must be manually transferred. Ensure that critical file references and storage paths are reconfigured manually after duplication to avoid execution errors.
Show Last Modified in Autom List – Displays a human-readable timestamp for the most recent changes to each Autom.
Stop & Return Action Support – Introduces an action that halts the Autom when triggered.
This action terminates execution immediately and should be used carefully in production.
Missing Application Credential Crashing: When an Autom references a deleted or missing credential, it previously resulted in an unexpected crash. With this fix, the system now provides a clear error message: “‘xxx’ Credential is not found. Please check your Application Credentials.” This allows users to identify and resolve credential issues without system failure.
Autom will fail if this limit is exceeded, so large datasets or file payloads should be optimized.
If the RWS response payload (including downloaded attachments or returned data from APIs) exceeds 60MB, the Autom execution will fail with the following error message: “Content is too big, maximum content limit is 60 MB.”

Permission Checkbox Logic: Previously, when users toggled permissions in role configuration, the “Update” button did not activate correctly. This bug has been resolved, ensuring consistent button state behavior based on user interaction.
Mate Agent Deletion Message: The confirmation message shown when deleting a Mate Agent was unclear or missing important context. It has now been improved to better inform users during this action.
RWS 429 Crash Issue: The system was previously vulnerable to crashing when an HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) was followed by a "connection reset by peer" error. RWS now handles these edge cases gracefully, with enhanced stability and error recovery logic.
Go To Monitoring Fix: Fixed an issue where actions following a “Go To” step were not properly displayed in the Monitoring view. All expected steps after “Go To” were correctly shown during flow execution tracking.
Prevent Instance Indexing in Microsoft Bing:
Previously, Autom Mate instance URLs were being indexed by Microsoft Bing, leading to unintended public visibility of instance pages in search results. This has been resolved by implementing appropriate noindex directives and response headers to block Bing’s crawlers from indexing instance content.
This change prevents future indexing, but previously indexed pages may still appear in Bing due to caching. We recommend reviewing exposed URLs and submitting removal requests through Bing Webmaster Tools to ensure complete delisting.
RWS Content Size Limit: Automate integrates with RESTful Web Services to perform CRUD operations and interact with resources using HTTP requests. An upper limit has been introduced for RWS responses to prevent out-of-memory crashes. Any response content exceeding 60MB is now rejected. Error message: “Content is too big, maximum content limit is 60 MB.” You can find RWS library details and usage .
