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 workflows run for each message. These triggers are configurable to poll for messages on an interval or on a cron schedule.

Query triggers are currently rolling out on Retool Cloud. This feature will be available in public beta on Self-hosted Retool 3.117 Edge and the next stable release.

Custom Python libraries fpr Retool Workflows is now available as a public beta. You can add one of the built-in Python libraries or provide a custom list of libraries and versions.

A new and improved version of the Loop Block is now available in beta. If you'd like to participate, complete this form to request access.

The new Loop Block features:

• Iteration-level timeout of up to 30 seconds when executing the entire workflow.
• Parallel, sequential, and batched execution modes with iteration delays
• Improved iteration-level error handling to allow subsequent iterations to run.
• Iteration metadata that is accessible in subsequent blocks.

Once enabled, any new Loop blocks added to workflows will use Loop block v2. Existing Loop blocks will continue to function as before.

You can now use configuration variables within workflows. Both values and secrets are supported and can be referenced using:

{{ retoolContext.configVars.YOUR_VAR_NAME }}

You can now use AI to generate fully functional workflows instead of assembling blocks or writing logic. You provide some instructions and Retool assembles the required blocks with any necessary logic. You can also select a database resource and provide context about table schema.
