IAP 23.1: Automation Studio – Reimagined Workflow Building Experience

The workflow builder experience is the core of the value that the Itential Automation Platform delivers to our customers; the ability to build, test, and deploy low-code automation and orchestration workflows as quickly and reliably as possible.

With our latest release, IAP 23.1, we have redefined and rebuilt the workflow canvas in Automation Studio from the ground up to ensure the best possible user experience, while also ensuring full compatibility with any previously created workflows.

In this demo we highlight:

  • How the new canvas supports any previous generation workflow.
  • An overview of a few of the many new canvas features that will make building automations more efficient and intuitive for new users or experienced automation engineers.
