Changelog

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 Mobile now supports the use of ProGlove scanners with Android devices. Once configured, you use the ProGlove mobile component to capture events from, initiate pairing with, and disconnect from ProGlove scanners.

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.

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.

Retool now supports Apache Kafka. You can use the Kafka integration in apps and workflows to produce, consume, or commit messages to a topic. This integration enables you to respond to events as they occur, triggering changes and actions in your workflows or apps.

Subfolders is now available to all users on Retool Cloud and Retool Self-hosted versions 3.93 and later. Subfolders helps you manage and organize your Retool apps, workflows, and resources. To implement proper inheritance for security measures, we also now enforce the following:

• A child subfolder or app must be at least as permissive as its parent.
• In order to move an object, you must have Own access to the object (App or Folder) being moved and Edit or Own on its destination.

In making changes to certain groups’ folder permissions, this means some users may no longer create apps inside of folders. Access to any existing apps or modules has changed. You can always update your group settings to enable app creation within folders.

Dynamic queries enable users to access several different resources from a single query. These queries decrease the maintenance burden for apps that need to query various similar resources.

Some example use cases for dynamic queries include:

• An app for your support team to interact with customer data when every customer’s data is hosted on a standalone database with unique credentials.
• An admin panel to measure the health of customers’ deploys when every customer has their own tenant.
• A generic budget dashboard for client projects when every client has their own database.

A new version of the Scanner component is now available. It is a significant upgrade over the previous version, with new functionality for you to customize the scanning experience. Features include:

• Use scan events to reference scanned items and the time between scans.
• Detect duplicate scans.
• Programmatically pause after each scan or set the time between scans.
