Ability to Schedule a Sync

Copy and Paste / Duplicate Blocks

• Added functionality to duplicate blocks and copy/paste within the workflow builder, enhancing workflow creation efficiency.

Added Search to the Templates Modal

• Introduced a search bar to the workflows template modal, making it easier to find and utilize templates.

Save to Collection v2 Table Block

• A new block that allows users to save content to a collections v2 table within workflows, facilitating data organization and retrieval.

Slack Trigger Revamp

• Major upgrade to the Slack trigger with a simple configuration mode and pre-configured trigger modes such as Active Listener, Mention, and Thread Initiator.

The entire Collections experience has been rebuilt from the ground up to support greater flexibility and deliver massive performance improvements. Tables are the new foundation of Collections.

With Tables you no longer need to define your schema on each document. The power of this new functionality is showcased on the Collections v2 block which now includes hybrid search and more.

All comes fully support on our API as well.

Copilot has been rebuilt from the ground up.

2.0 brings the powerful functionality of Scout directly to your website or application, providing an interactive assistant that enhances your user experience and improves engagement. Two lines of code is all you need.

Initial Activities

The initial_activities property allows you to set up the initial state of the Copilot chat by preloading messages and actions when the Copilot is initialized. This feature is useful for customizing the user’s first interaction with the Copilot, such as displaying a welcome message or suggesting common queries.

  const copilot = document.querySelector('scout-copilot');

      role: 'assistant',
      content: 'How can I assist you today?',
    },

          title: 'What is Scout?',
          query: 'What is Scout?',
        },
        {
          action_item_type: 'link',
          img_url: 'https://example.com/icon2.png',
          title: 'Join our Community',
          url: 'https://community.example.com',
        },
        {
          action_item_type: 'link',
          img_url: 'https://example.com/icon3.svg',
          title: 'Contact Support',
          url: 'mailto:support@example.com',
        },
      ],
    },
  ];
</script>

Thinking Block

The new Thinking Block sends a “pending state” message to the Copilot client, giving the user context on the action being taken during that step of execution in the workflow that is generating the Scout Copilot response.

Copilot Message Block

This is similar to an LLM block. The connection to the Scout Copilot in the client is streaming, so you can send many messages in one workflow run using subsequent Copilot message blocks.
