Changelog

Query triggers, a new method for triggering workflows, are now available. Query triggers poll for messages from Amazon SQS and Kafka resources and execute a workflow's run for each message. These triggers are configurable to poll for messages on an interval or on a cron schedule.

Retool Storage is now available to self-hosted organizations as a file management interface for an S3 or Google Cloud Storage bucket. Because you control your own file storage bucket on self-hosted deployments, there are no data limits or overages for Retool Storage on self-hosted deployments.

You can set up integrations with Datadog and Sentry. With these integrations, app errors are reported with a callstack and descriptive tags when you view and interact with an app in preview or public (end-user) mode.

To connect third-party observability providers, you can report app errors using Retool Events and build a workflow that triggers whenever an app error occurs and automatically notifies your observability provider.

Enterprise users can now protect organization-level themes using Source Control. This enables you to safely replicate organization-level theme configurations across multiple instances of Retool. You can use protected themes with any of Retool's supported source control management (SCM) providers.

Retool now supports 15 preset chart components, eliminating the need to manually write Plotly JSON for basic chart types. This change enables users to more easily create and customize chart and graphs in their apps.

Features of the new chart components include:

• Support for multiple data sources in series-based charts.
• Data grouping and aggregation.
• Customizeable titles, legends, labels, and toolbars.
• Configurable user interactivity.
• Advanced use cases using the Plotly JSON Chart.

An updated Theming experience is now available. Users on the Business and Enterprise plans can now see a revamped organization-level theme editing experience with expanded functionality, including:

• The ability to create custom color, typography, and metric tokens for use in the theme editor and app component styles.
• The ability to create multiple modes within a theme and switch between modes in an app using theme.setMode().
• The ability to configure default styles for individual components, as well as bulk edit shared styles for multiple components at once.
• Expanded typography controls—including the ability to configure multiple fonts in a theme using a CSS import or Google Fonts, set a default font family, and control font family and font weight for headings.

For users on all plans:

• Component-level font weight and font family style controls.
• A refreshed app-level theme experience with expanded typography controls.
• An updated component style editing experience.

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.

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:

• Title and description.
• Icon, icon position, and tooltip.
• Action text to trigger event handlers on click.

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.
