Control Room: Improved API Helper, Version Control features

In this release, we are bringing new features to help utilize the new Control Room API, to improve Task Package version management, and to get familiar with the available Control Room features by examples.

New API helper features

Say hello to the new and improved API Helper! With the API Helper, you are able to conveniently select what you want to do, and the API Helper will select the right parameters, helps you to create keys with right permissions, and gives an example call in curl, python, and javascript code. In addition, you are able to directly test the calls from your browser to see that they work exactly the way you want.

Version control improvements

Control Room Origin settings with GitHub App tab and a Pinned version toggle for commit

We have enhanced the Control Room version control integrations and introduced a new pinned version capability. With the new feature, you are able to select the exact commit or tag you want your tasks to use, which is useful when e.g., integrating with external CI/CD systems or when you need total control over your release cadence.

Example processes in the Control Room

Three example process template cards: uptime monitoring, web store order processor, start from scratch

Getting started with Control Room or want to have a quick walkthrough of the most important features? Try out the brand new example processes! When creating an example process, you will get a fully setup process with an example configuration, that you are able to explore at your own pace. In addition, you are of course, able to change the parameters to modify the example to suit your needs.
