Recycle bin redesign, Media and Text Display node enhancements

Release date: 27 September 2021

Release Summary

The focus of this release was to redesign and improve the recycle bin and add further enhancements to the Media and Text Display nodes.

ENHANCEMENTS

Redesigned recycle bin

We have redesigned the Recycle Bin for a more intuitive and user-friendly experience when deleting and restoring nodes.

The Recycle Bin is accessed via the 'bin' icon in the bottom left of the flow-building canvas. To restore a deleted node to the canvas, simply drag and drop the node onto the canvas. The system will prompt the flow-builder whether they only want to restore the parent node, or if they want to restore the parent node as well as all the child nodes associated with it.

Text Display node enhancements

Previously, using a Text Display node to send a text message to an end-user would cause the current workflow to end. Now, the flow-builder also has the option to specify the next step that will automatically follow the outbound text message without requiring any input from the end-user first.

Media node enhancements

Previously, users had to configure API calls to fetch media from a hosted location before they could send that media file to their end-users via the Media node. With this release, we've made it easier for the non-technical flow-builder to upload media files and send them to end-users.

Enhancements have been made to the Media node, letting the flow-builder select the source of the media file they want to send to their end-users. Selecting "Assets" opens another call to action, "+ Add file". Clicking this opens a pop-up modal where the flow-builder can add new media files, or select from previously uploaded ones. The current method to fetch media from a hosted location via API calls and then sending it to the end-user is still available by selecting the "API" option. ​​​​
