Announcing a new Flowsana update!
The following new features are now live in Flowsana:
New rule action: Set task as Approval task
Now you can convert a task to an Approval as the result of a Flowsana rule being triggered. For example:
Rule update: Remove a custom field's value
Now when creating a Flowsana rule action to update a custom field's value, you can leave the value blank. When you do this, you're telling Flowsana to remove (i.e. blank out) the current value in that field.Note that you can do this for any custom field type: drop-down list, text, or number.
Include weekend days in your workflow
By default, Flowsana skips weekend days when calculating shifts in dates and setting the adjusted date. Now when creating a workflow, you have the ability to tell Flowsana that it should not skip weekends for that workflow, and should include all 7 days of the week when calculating and setting dates. This is done by unchecking the Skip Weekends box when defining a workflow:
Improved performance for the "Add subtasks from a template" rule action
You should now see much less delay in Flowsana creating subtasks as a result of the "Add subtasks form a template" rule action. (This action has proved to be extremely popular, moreso than we were expecting!)Previously, all rules triggering this action went into just one “queue” for processing, meaning you could potentially have to wait for a number of other users’ subtasks to copy before yours. There are now 16 queues instead of one, so your wait times should be vastly reduced if not eliminated altogther.
