FlowX.AI 5.7.0 Release Notes

Deployment models:

Self-Hosted Features for self-hosted (on-premises) deployments
All Deployments Features available in both self-hosted and SaaS

FlowX.AI 5.7.0 makes on-premises deployment a first-class experience. Single-org deployment is now the default mode — configure your organization once, connect to FlowX licensing, and you’re running. For builders, Custom Components let you write React code directly in the Designer, AI Providers configuration gives organizations self-service control over their LLM setup, and Chat-based UI Flows simplify conversational experiences. For organization admins, End-user access management separates runtime users, roles, and groups from Designer users.

Info

FlowX 5.7.0 introduces single-org deployment as the default mode for on-premises installations, with self-service licensing, organization management, and runtime access controls.🏢 Single-org deployment - On-premises deployment with automatic organization setup
🔑 License service - Connect to FlowX SaaS for license validation and usage reporting
👥 End-user access management - Org-level end-users, roles, and groups, separate from Designer users

Single-org deployment

Overview
Key Features

Self-hosted deployments now run as single-organization systems by default. FlowX registers your organization in the SaaS licensing infrastructure, provides an Organization ID, and your deployment connects to FlowX for license validation and usage reporting. The Designer guides you through a setup flow on first launch: enter a token, name your environment, and create your admin user.

Documentation

See the Organization Manager setup guide.

Major FeatureSelf-Hosted

License service

Overview
Key Features

The License service is the bridge between your self-hosted deployment and FlowX SaaS. It validates your platform license, reports usage data, and ensures your subscription is active. Configure it with the license key and server URLs provided by FlowX during organization registration.

Documentation

See the License service setup guide.

Self-Hosted

End-user access management

Overview
Key Features

Organization admins can now manage the people who use published solutions separately from Designer users. A new Access Management section at the organization level holds three lists — End-Users, End-Users Roles, and End-Users Groups — each with its own permissions. Invite end users individually or import many at once from a CSV template, define roles that describe runtime access, and organize users into groups with custom attributes for filtering.

Documentation

See the End-user access management setup guide.

Major FeatureAll Deployments

Chat-based UI Flows

Overview
Key Features

UI Flows now support two experience types: Flow-Based (traditional) and Chat-Based (conversational). Chat-Based UI Flows connect to a conversational workflow at the UI Flow level, so all Chat components in the flow use the same workflow by default. A new Settings page with a Chat Options tab lets you configure or change the workflow after creation.

Documentation

See the UI Flows documentation.

All Deployments

Chat improvements

Configure which parts of the chat header are visible on a per-component basis. The Chat component (when display type is Fill) gains a Show Header toggle in its Properties panel, and the Chat Header component gets a new Available Actions accordion with toggles for New Conversation and History. Conversation history now loads in pages, with a Load more action, and conversations are sorted by creation date with the most recent first.All Deployments

Voice input

Overview
Key Features

Chat components now support voice input, allowing users to record audio messages directly in the chat. Users can record, preview with an audio player, and send voice messages within conversations.

Voice input captures and sends audio recordings. When paired with the Speech to Text workflow node, voice messages are automatically transcribed and processed as text in conversational workflows.

Documentation

See the Chat component documentation.

All Deployments

Stop agent response

Overview
Key Features

The chat input now shows a Stop button in place of Send while an agent reply is streaming. Pressing Stop cancels the conversational workflow instance: any in-flight AI call is aborted, partial output is discarded, and the user prompt is persisted with a cancelled flag so the chat history reflects what happened.

Documentation

See the Chat component documentation.

Cross-platform

Available on Web (Standard, Floating, Full Screen), iOS, and Android

Themeable

New stopResponseIcon slot in chatInputArea themes; preloaded by cms-core

Localized

New system substitution tags for Stop and Send labels with a11y variants

All Deployments

Speech to Text node

Speech to Text

Overview
Key Features

A new workflow node that converts between audio and text. Transcribe converts audio files (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG) into text with language detection and confidence scores. Text to Speech generates audio files from text with configurable voice, speed, and format. In conversational workflows, the node processes voice messages from the chat UI automatically.

Documentation

See the Speech to Text node documentation.

The transcription model is resolved from the organization’s Audio capability default, configured in AI Settings under Defaults & Fallbacks.

All Deployments

AI Triggers

Overview
Key Features

Define named message templates with parameters on conversational workflows, so different UI Flow pages can launch the same workflow with different starting contexts. Triggers are configured in a dedicated side nav tab and selected on the Start node or sent from the Chat component at runtime.

Reply Triggers list in a conversational workflow

Documentation

See the Conversational workflows documentation for configuration details.

Parameterized messages

Message templates with ${paramName} placeholders resolved at runtime

Multi-page reuse

Different pages launch the same workflow with different context

Start node integration

Toggle between Text and AI Trigger modes on the Start node

Memory aware

Trigger messages saved to conversation memory but hidden from chat history

All Deployments

UI Flow Context

Overview
Key Features

Conversational workflows can now receive a JSON context alongside the user message. A new Conversation Context property on UI Flow Pages lets you define the Parameters payload (with ${expression} resolution), and the Start node exposes it as a collapsible UI Flow Context editor — also available in the Run Workflow test modal for manual runs.

Start node UI Flow Context and UI Flow Conversation Context property

Documentation

See the Conversational workflows documentation for configuration details.

UI-driven context

Pages attach a JSON payload to conversational runs without hard-coding it in the workflow

Expression resolution

Parameters support ${expression} syntax to bind live UI Flow data at runtime

Start node field

Collapsible UI Flow Context editor on the Start node for both runtime and manual testing

JSON validation

Invalid JSON is rejected before the run starts, surfacing a clear error

All Deployments

Recommended prompts

Overview
Key Features

Custom Agent nodes can now generate follow-up prompt suggestions alongside their chat replies. When enabled via the new Prompt Suggestions satellite panel on a Custom Agent node, the agent includes recommended next questions or actions in its response. These appear as clickable suggestions in the chat UI, guiding users toward relevant follow-up interactions.

Documentation

See the Custom Agent node documentation for configuration details.

All Deployments

Context Retrieval enhancements

Overview
Key Features

Custom Agent and Context Retrieval nodes now support configurable search type and re-ranking for Knowledge Base retrieval. Choose between Hybrid (default), Semantic, or Keyword search strategies depending on your use case. Turn on re-ranking to apply a secondary relevance model that reorders retrieved chunks for higher-quality results.

Documentation

See the Context Retrieval node documentation.

All Deployments

Knowledge Base enhancements

Overview
Key Features

The Knowledge Base data source gets a refreshed workspace and a more powerful metadata filter builder. The Content Sources tab is now called Stores, and the Chunks tab gains a structured query builder for metadata filters with typed operators, AND/OR logic, and grouping — replacing the previous equality-only filters.

Documentation

See the Knowledge Base content management guide.

All Deployments

Web Page Extractor enhancements

Overview
Key Features

The Web Page Extractor node now supports URL filtering to include or exclude specific URL patterns during crawling, configurable crawl depth for more control over how deep the crawler follows links, and file downloads to retrieve attached files from crawled pages.

All Deployments

Custom React components, advanced query builder, and merge conflict improvements.🧩 Custom Components - Write React code in Designer and use in UI Flows
🔍 Advanced Query Builder - Visual query builder for database operations
⏹️ Stop Run for workflows - Cancel a running workflow instance from the editor
🔀 Merge conflicts UX - Improved merge modal and conflict resolution experience

Custom Components

Overview
Key Features

Create custom React components directly in FlowX Designer. Write JSX, CSS, and use pre-defined packages (React, Emotion, Lodash, Axios, date-fns). Components receive process data through input keys and can trigger process actions. Define once in Reusable Resources, use across multiple User Tasks.

Documentation

See the Custom Components documentation.

Major FeatureAll Deployments

Advanced Query Builder

Overview
Key Features

A visual query builder for database operations and metadata filters, replacing manual JSON query writing with a structured interface. Build complex queries with conditions, grouping, and sorting without writing raw queries. The operator set has expanded with NULL checks (exists, is null), set membership (not in), string matching (contains, starts with, ends with), boolean tests (is true, is false), and date comparators (before, after). The between operator has been removed from the UI.

Documentation

See the FlowX Database documentation for the full query builder reference.

All Deployments

Oracle Database integration

Overview
Key Features

Connect FlowX workflows to externally managed Oracle databases. Configure a connection (Oracle 19c, 21c, or 23ai), save parameterized SQL queries against the schema, and call them from the existing Database Operation node alongside other data sources.

Documentation

See the Oracle Database integration guide for the full reference.

All Deployments

Datasource Experience

The Add Data Source dialog now groups data source types into four categories (AI Capabilities, APIs, Databases, and Connectors) with a search box for finding a specific type. REST endpoint authoring also suggests common HTTP headers and values to speed up integration setup.

New Add Data Source dialog with categorized data source types

All Deployments

MongoDB-aware code editor

Operation editors on MongoDB data sources now use a Monaco language provider tuned for MongoDB. The editor highlights MongoDB operators (Comparison, Logical, Element, Evaluation, Array, Update, Aggregation, Conditional) and ${param} interpolations, including inside string literals. Three autocomplete flows speed up authoring: typing $ lists MongoDB operators, opening a quote in a field-name position lists the schema field paths from the linked Project Data Type, and typing inside ${...} lists the operation’s parameter keys.All Deployments

Project Data Model authoring

Three improvements make Project Data Model authoring easier and less error-prone.

Go to source

A new Go to source button on data-model usages and Data Model nodes jumps directly to the source definition without manual navigation.

Type-aware example values

The example-value input on each attribute now matches its declared type: number inputs for NUMBER, a date picker for DATE, a true/false dropdown for BOOLEAN, single-select for enums, multi-select chips for enum arrays, and so on. CURRENCY values use the currency code rather than the symbol.

Type-aware test data

The same type-aware inputs apply when running or testing a workflow node and when filling input parameters for a reusable function, replacing the previous generic text inputs.

All Deployments

Stop Run for workflows

You can now cancel a running workflow instance directly from the workflow editor. While a workflow is running, the Run Workflow button switches to Stop Run — clicking it cancels the instance and marks all in-progress and scheduled nodes as cancelled. Cancelled instances show a new Cancelled status alongside Started, Finished, and Failed.

Documentation

See Running and stopping workflows in the Integration Designer reference.

All Deployments

Merge conflicts UX

The merge branches experience has been improved with a redesigned merge modal, better form validation with detailed error messages, and keyboard support (submit with Enter). The conflict resolution diff viewer now uses a new CodeMirror theme that matches the Monaco editor styling for a consistent visual experience.All Deployments
