Latest from the changelog
Your app can now count its workflow steps with the help of four new events: workflow_published, workflow_unpublished, workflow_deleted, and workflow_step_deleted. Use these events to stay informed on workflows—from unpublished to published and back again—that make use of steps powered by your app.
Socket Mode supplies your app with events and interactive feature payloads over a dynamic WebSocket URL. Read more on the new way to skip static, public HTTP endpoints—now supported by all SDKs.
Submissions to the App Directory now require Security & Compliance information. Read more in our submission guidelines.
