Detailed Version
Base64 Decode Fields Now Save Properly — Fixed an issue where credential fields decoded from Base64 were not being saved correctly in the database. Previously, even after updates, these fields were stored as empty values. Now, data is securely stored and changes persist as intended, eliminating the risk of losing credentials.
Plan Utilization Panel Link Fixed — Resolved an incorrect link in the plan utilization panel that was directing users to the wrong page. The link now correctly opens the intended plan usage details page. This ensures users can easily access accurate plan utilization information.
Language Change Handling for Invalid Formats Updated — Addressed an application crash that occurred when an invalid language format was selected. Error messages and UI behavior were updated to prevent system failure. Users can now select unsupported formats without causing interruptions to the application.
“Manual Trigger” Misspelling Corrected in Dashboard Charts — Corrected a misspelling in dashboard chart labels where “Manual Trigger” was incorrectly displayed as “Manuel Trigger.” The correction improves consistency and professionalism in the user interface.
Access Denied Page Alignment Fixed — Fixed a UI alignment issue where the “Access Denied” message was off-center when the side module menu was hidden. The message now remains perfectly centered in all scenarios, improving the overall page appearance.
Incorrect Notification Count for Users Fixed — Resolved a bug where the notification counter displayed inflated numbers despite having no unread notifications. The counting logic was corrected to display only actual unread notifications. Users now see accurate notification counts at all times.
Microsoft OAuth Support Added to Mail Server Settings (Bug Fix) — Fixed parameter issues preventing successful connection to the mail server via Microsoft OAuth. Users can now authenticate with Microsoft OAuth credentials without errors.
Custom Actions Output Store Added to Database (Bug Fix) — Corrected a backend issue where outputs from custom actions were not being stored in the database in some cases. All generated outputs are now reliably saved, allowing for later retrieval and auditing.
Center Focus Feature Now Works on Autom Screen Load — Fixed an issue where the Autom canvas view did not automatically center on the main workflow when the Autom screen loaded. The focus now correctly centers every time the page is opened.
Multer Package Upgraded to Fix Security Vulnerabilities (Bug Fix) — Updated the Multer package to its latest version to patch known security vulnerabilities in file upload handling. This improves platform security and reduces potential attack surfaces.
Login Page Layout Stable on Provider API Error — Fixed a layout issue on the login page that occurred when the provider API returned an error. The page now remains stable and visually consistent regardless of API response status.

XLSX Upload Now Works in Data Table Variable Create/Update — Fixed an issue where .xlsx file uploads failed when creating or updating Data Table variables. Users can now successfully upload Excel files in this format.
XLSX Library Replaced with ExcelJS for Security (Bug Fix) — Replaced the vulnerable XLSX library with ExcelJS to address security concerns. The change also improves file handling stability and performance.
Library Icon URL Refactor Completed During Autom Import (Bug Fix) — Fixed an issue where hardcoded library icon URLs failed to load in certain environments during Autom import. The icon URL logic is now dynamic and environment-aware.
MyChatGPT Action Credential Handling Fixed — Fixed a bug where the credential dropdown was hidden when no credentials existed, causing a 404 error in the MyChatGPT action. The UI and backend have been updated to handle this scenario gracefully.
Provision Autom Flow Updated — Updated the execution logic of the Provision Autom workflow for better stability and performance. This included optimizing step execution and error handling. The update ensures smoother provisioning of Automs in various environments. The changes reduce failed executions due to timeout or sequencing issues. It also improves system responsiveness during provisioning.
Library Icon URL Refactor During Autom Import — Refactored the handling of library icon URLs when importing Automs. Previously, hardcoded URLs could cause broken image references in imported Automs. The update now dynamically adjusts the icon path to match the importing environment. This ensures all icons load correctly regardless of the source environment. The change improves cross-environment portability.
Replace Username with Full Name in Dashboard Greeting — Modified the dashboard greeting text to display the user’s full name instead of their username. This provides a more personalized experience when users log in. The full name is retrieved from the user profile information. If no full name is set, the username is displayed as a fallback. The change applies across all dashboard views.
Upgrade Multer Package to Latest Version Due to Security Issue — Upgraded the Multer package to its latest version to address known security vulnerabilities in file upload handling. This reduces the risk of exploitation through file upload endpoints. The update aligns with security best practices. It also ensures compatibility with the latest Node.js versions. The upgrade process required minor adjustments to file upload logic.
Removing Autom Type Options — Removed unused Autom type options from the Autom creation menu. This simplifies the creation process by presenting only relevant options to the user. It reduces confusion for new users when starting a new Autom. The change helps maintain a cleaner and more intuitive interface. It is part of an overall UI/UX improvement initiative.
Add Microsoft OAuth Support to Mail Server — Added the option to connect the mail server using Microsoft OAuth authentication. This enables secure and token-based authentication without requiring SMTP credentials. Users can now enter the Client ID, Client Secret, and Tenant ID to complete the setup. This addition improves compatibility with Microsoft environments. The update ensures a smoother configuration process for users relying on Microsoft 365 services.
Add Datto RMM Integration — Integrated Datto Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) into Autom Mate to allow administrators to monitor and manage remote systems directly from the platform. This provides seamless access to RMM tasks without leaving Autom Mate. The integration supports secure API communication with Datto services. It enables real-time status updates and task execution from within the Autom. The setup process is handled through the Integration Library.
Add OTP Email Verification to Registration — Implemented a one-time password (OTP) email verification during new user registration. After entering registration details, users receive an OTP via email, which must be entered to complete account creation. This improves account authenticity and reduces spam registrations. The OTP is time-limited for security purposes. Verification is completed before granting full platform access.
