Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.
Retool will deprecate the use of YAML for protected apps, queries, and resources in Source Control. Support will be removed in the Q2 2025 stable release of Self-hosted Retool.
Self-hosted organizations still using YAML serialization of these elements in Source Control must migrate to Toolscript prior to upgrading.
Retool now supports Amazon SNS. You can use the Amazon SNS integration in apps and workflows to publish messages to a topic. Once configured, you can subscribe to the topic using Amazon SQS, enabling you to use Retool's SQS integration to respond to events as they occur.
This change is available on Retool Cloud and will be available in a subsequent edge release of Self-hosted Retool. It will be included in the Q4 stable release of Self-hosted Retool.
A new version of the Alert component is now available. It is a significant upgrade over the previous version, with new options to customize alert messaging.
You can create custom alert states that represent different alert types or severity, and configure them with the following options:
The new Alert component is currently rolling out on Retool Cloud and will be available in a subsequent release of Self-hosted Retool. Existing apps can continue to use the previous version, which is now deprecated.
Retool now supports Amazon SQS. You can use the Amazon SQS integration in Retool Apps and Retool Workflows to send, receive, and delete messages from a queue. This integration enables you to respond to events as they occur, triggering changes and actions in your workflows or apps.
This change is available on Retool Cloud and will be available in a subsequent edge release of Self-hosted Retool. It will be included in the Q4 stable release of Self-hosted Retool.
Retool now enables you to test your custom single sign-on integration with the click of a button. When you click the Test Connection button on the Single Sign-On (SSO) > Custom SSO settings page, Retool checks that the proper groups are mapped, the right user metadata is sent from your identity provider, and the integration works seamlessly. Testing this connection does not change the current user's permission groups, and you won't be locked out if SSO is misconfigured.
This feature is generally available on Retool Cloud and on Retool Self-hosted versions 3.93 and later.
