Product Updates
Stacked Steps in Workflow Builder
Workflows can sometimes contain more than 100+ steps, which is quite visually complex. In an effort to simplify multi-step workflows, we launched Stacked Steps. Stacked Steps introduces a new, easy way to group a series of steps to make workflows much more clear visually and easier to understand.
Multi-Parent Steps in Workflow Builder
We’re excited to announce the release of the Multiple Parent Steps feature, a key part of our ongoing efforts to simplify workflows. This new capability allows multiple branches in a strategy to converge back to an individual flow, eliminating the need for repetitive steps across different workflow branches.
