New Features This Month
Pipeline Versioning
Ever modified or deleted a pipeline only to wish you could restore a past version? Well now you can with Pipeline Versioning. Keep track of your pipeline changes by creating new versions with each update, restore past pipelines, and compare versions with other entity and field pipelines within the same instance. Pipeline versioning enables better collaboration between multiple pipeline editors by attributing changes to each user while encouraging iterative pipeline optimizations with confidence that past pipelines can always be restored.
In addition to user-initiated versioning, a pipeline version is also automatically created each time a draft pipeline is created from an active pipeline as well as when a pipeline is restored a version will be created the current state of the pipeline being overwritten.
See the 11min intro video for Pipeline Versioning
GPT Actions
We've introduced three new GPT-powered actions letting you leverage generative AI in your Syncari Pipelines.
-
NameGPT
- An action that can accept a name and return the standard form. Example: IBM is returned as International Business Machines.
-
SentimentGPT
- An action that can accept text and analyze for sentiment. This action requires an OpenAI paid account.
-
AddressGPT
- An action that can extract mailing address from a block of text.
Inline creation of fields in Field Mapper
We've introduced a shortcut for creating a new field directly from within Field Mapper for cases when the field you want doesn't already exist. This way you can keep your field mapping workflow largely in one place without having to toggle back and forth between Field mapper and Schema Studio.
Pendo Synapse support for NPS metrics
We've added NPS fields to the Pendo Synapse allowing you to build new workflows
Source Field filters
When you're connecting multiple systems, mapping these record IDs from one system to another becomes crutial. We do have ID mappings in Syncari but they weren't available for filtering, lookup criteria, or if you wanted to sync these IDs back to the destinations system.
So now when you add a source or destination node in a pipeline, we look at the IDs of the entity.
Insights Studio: Pagination for table data cards
We previously limited datasets to 100 rows, now data is paginated in data cards
