We hope that you’re staying safe in these challenging times. In the spirit of doing our part with the tools and talents we have:

• Download a Business Continuity Plan template in Catalytic
• Sign up for a Catalytic-powered Coronavirus Daily Update

Triggers 2.0 ⚡

Triggers automate the start of workflows, ensuring that your processes initiate in a timely manner based on webform submissions, incoming emails, events in other systems, or on a schedule.

The interface for triggers has been updated to be faster and more user friendly. The full list of active triggers has been upgraded with search capabilities and moved to the Admin Team Center, where it is now only available to Admin users.

More Excel actions upgrades 🔢

A new action, Excel: Convert to CSV, lets you take advantage of all of our CSV actions with XLSX, XLS, and XLSM files.

Additionally, we’ve powered up Excel actions in the following ways:

• All Excel actions now support referencing columns by name or column letter
• Excel: Apply filters now supports advanced filtering and filtering of empty cells
• Excel: Extract range (fka Excel: Extract cell data) now supports returning data to a data table or JSON field
• Excel: Copy data from one spreadsheet to another (fka Excel: Combine spreadsheets) now lets you specify the target cell

Copy and paste choices 📋

When you have a lot of options to add to a Choice or Multiple Choice field, you can now copy and paste them from a spreadsheet or list of choices. Each line in the pasted text will be converted into a choice.
