- Dropdowns for locations: buckets, containers, folders, files, sites, libraries and users load from the storage credential, and each dropdown also takes a typed name, path, ID or link.
- Manage collections: documents, collections, jobs, continuous syncs and parsing are all available as actions.
- Signed trigger deliveries: the trigger registers its webhook when a workflow is activated, removes it when the workflow is deactivated, and rejects deliveries with a missing or wrong signature.
