Release Notes

20 November 2024

It's been a year since we launched ScriptRunner Connect, so we're rolling out some major improvements to the app—and we've got more in store for 2025! 

Updates

We have 4️⃣ stellar updates to tell you about!

Feature name change 🔀

We changed "Environment Variables" to "Parameters." They work the same as always; we just improved the name. See Parameters. 

New and improved navigation 🧭

The new side-navigation design makes it faster to move around the platform to find exactly what you need. Useful information has been thoughtfully restructured to help you find team and personal settings more conveniently. Plus, you can now see the appropriate workspaces and connectors for the team you've selected. Pretty solid update!

Setup guide 🌟

A new setup guide has been implemented to assist you through a seven-step process that covers selecting apps to work with all the way to testing and running the integration. 

Usage-insights dashboard 📊

Keep track of key usage stats at a glance! The new usage dashboard lets you

• see the progress of your monthly script executions against your allowance,
• review relevant integration templates, and
• watch tutorials to become an integration pro!

To view the usage details, just visit the Home tab. 

Coming soon! ⏰

Audit logs are here! 🧾

We’ve introduced audit logs to provide visibility into user actions within ScriptRunner Connect. This new feature allows you to view historical actions for yourself and your teammates, provided you have the appropriate access.

In the app, navigate to Reporting > Audit Logs to review logged activities. Users can see logs relevant to their own actions; admins and super admins can access logs for their respective teams.

• Retention: Logs are stored for six months before being automatically deleted.
• Key fields: Each log includes details like the actor, action performed, IP address, timestamp, related entities, and more.
• Export options: Logs can be exported as CSV files for further analysis, with team-based filters applied.

Read more in the Reporting section on the Audit Logs page. 

29 August 2024

Update

We've made a small update to the generic connector. Previously, if you specified an HTTP header in a fetch call that was also defined at the connector level, the connector's header would take precedence, overriding the fetch-level header. With this update, the logic has been reversed: now, the fetch-level header will overwrite the connector-level header. Please note that this change applies only to generic connectors.

See the Generic Connector page for more info.

16 August 2024

New Features

We have 1️⃣ cool new feature to tell you about:

Console Log 🔍

When you perform an action in a workspace, run a script manually, or trigger a script through a scheduled or external event, the related logs will appear in the console log.

See Console Log to learn all about it, including how to filter and refine the log messages to find precisely what you're looking for.

Update

• ScriptRunner Connect is now fully ISO 27001 and SOC Type 2 certified! 🥳 🥂 
  
• We added the Convert Data Types topic. 

27 June 2024

New Features

We have 1️⃣ cool new feature to tell you about:

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 🔒

After popular demand, we're happy to announce the addition of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to enhance the security of ScriptRunner Connect! Next time you log in, you will receive a prompt asking whether you want to enable MFA.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a multi-step login process that enhances security by requiring users to provide more information than just a username and password. To log in with MFA enabled, you'll use a one-time password (OTP) generated from an authenticator app. Popular options include Authy, Google Authenticator, Auth0 Guardian, and Microsoft Authenticator, all of which can be downloaded from the Google Play or Apple app stores.

You can manage your MFA preference in your profile settings:

Updates

We created a way for you to work more efficiently with large attachments when not using managed APIs. Read all about it.

11 June 2024

New Features

We have 2️⃣ wonderful new features to tell you about:

New connector! ⚡

We created a new connector for NetSuite! 🤩 The fine details are on the Connectors page.

Vendor API versions for Confluence Cloud and monday.com connectors! ⚡

Confluence Cloud and monday.com API connectors now include a Vendor API Version field, allowing you to choose which base API version you want to use with ScriptRunner Connect's Managed APIs. If needed, you can use multiple versions in your workspace by creating multiple API connections with different base versions.

Updates

We improved the Sync ServiceNow Incidents with Jira Cloud Issues template in the following ways:

• The template now supports attachments.
• The template now allows you to start the sync from either ServieNow or Jira Cloud (rather than only from Jira Cloud).
• The template now instructs you to create a custom field to hold the ServiceNow ID rather than storing it in the comments.

Find this and all other templates on our Templates page! ✨

17 May 2024

New Features

We have 3️⃣ wonderful new features to tell you about:

New template for Jira 💪🏾

We created a new template for Jira users, Keep Jira On-Prem issues in sync with Jira Cloud, which improves data visibility, cross-team collaboration, and work efficiency. 

Environment variables 🌱

We are also excited to announce that Environment variables are live!

This new feature lets you securely manage and utilize environment-specific settings and configurations for more modular, secure, and easy-to-maintain code.

Notifications for script failures 📨

Finally, you can now receive email notifications when scripts fail. To opt-in, just make the following quick update to your ScriptRunner Connect profile:

22 March 2024

Updates

We created a handy new Slack template, Holidaytron4000! 🤖

The template periodically checks BambooHR and then posts your teammates' holiday/PTO summaries to a Slack channel. 

2 February 2024

Updates

• We improved the Jira Cloud to Jira Cloud sync template to cover more use cases. Check it out!

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug in our runtime where the output string from the atob function was erroneously encoded with UTF-8; now it's correctly encoded with latin1.

• Started releasing version 2.0.0 of Managed APIs, incorporating a non-backward compatible bug fix. Specifically, we have started URL encoding all URL paths and query string parameters.
  

  Remove manual encoding 🔪

  If you fixed this issue by encoding the parameters manually, then with the new version, you must remove your explicit encoding; otherwise, the parameters will be double-encoded.

  A new Package Updates Available modal now greets you when outdated packages are detected in your workspace. You don't necessarily have to apply updates immediately, but when you do, click View Changelog to review each package you plan to update.

12 January 2024

New Feature

ScriptRunner Connect now supports mutual TLS with Fetch API. Take a look at our example.

22 December 2023

Updates

• We overhauled our environments and deployments feature to simplify it but still retain the flexibility offered with the previous version. New docs have been published on how the new version works. For those who previously had a version deployed to their only environment, you will find that you can no longer make changes in that environment since now changes can only be made in an environment targeting a HEAD version. To overcome this situation, you can either create a new environment and keep it targeting the HEAD version and apply changes there and eventually promote those changes to your current environment, or re-target your current environment to target the HEAD version, which you can do if you click on the ellipsis icon and select Deployment Manager.
• Avatar colors are now randomized.

29 November 2023

New Feature

We created a new template for Zendesk! 

The template helps implement OAuth 2.0 for the app using our generic connector.

27 November 2023

New Feature

You now have the ability to duplicate a workspace!  💾⚡💾

Gone are the days when you had to labor to duplicate a workspace by manually adding each script, API connection, and/or event listener from scratch. Total headache!

Now you can simply click the Options menu (ellipsis) on a workspace card, then select Duplicate.

Before the new workspace is created, you can change the title and description and even attribute the new workspace to a different team. Nice!

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused the user-specified Content-Type header value to be overwritten when using the generic connector.
• Fixed a bug that caused selected items in the Workspace resource tree not to be highlighted.
• Fixed vendor API URL links for the Jira Cloud Managed API.

9 November 2023

Updates

• Added a check to prevent the creation of a generic connector without a protocol being specified with the base URL.
• Converted Trello templates to make use of Managed APIs for Trello-specific API calls.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug related to estimated dates for scheduled triggers that caused some estimated dates to be from the past.

3 November 2023

New Feature

We created a new template for Excel! 

The template demonstrates how to construct an Excel file in memory using a third-party NPM package (thanks to our package manager feature) and then upload the file to Jira Cloud as an issue attachment.
