Integration Agent enhancements

Creating projects

The Integration Agent now enables automated project creation, providing a structured metadata framework to organize and manage integrations. Automating this process significantly enhances productivity by reducing manual setup steps and streamlining the workflow initiation process. When you request workflow creation, the agent confirms whether to use an existing project or create a new one. If you opt for a new project, the agent generates it automatically from your prompt and proceeds to workflow authoring. By embedding project creation into the AI-driven workflow, users gain a more intuitive and efficient integration experience. This approach enables the agent to handle key actions like project setup and workflow management, boosting productivity and supporting fully conversational integration development.

Creating custom actions

This Integration Agent now allows you to create custom workflow actions during workflow authoring. The agent automatically detects when a custom action is required and generates it, eliminating the need for manual pre-configuration. By analyzing workflow requirements, discovering available connectors and their capabilities, and prompting for account selection when needed, the agent creates and integrates the custom action into the workflow. This enhancement extends connectors beyond standard operations to support specific integration needs without manual setup. It reduces workflow creation time and lowers the technical barrier for users. It also improves authoring success rates, without interrupting workflows to manually configure custom operations.

Editing workflows

The Integration Agent now allows you to update workflows by using natural language prompts without manual editing. For example, you can now add, remove, or modify nodes, reorganize steps, and update workflow details through conversational commands. Before any changes are applied, you receive a confirmation summary to review and approve, which can ensure that you maintain full control over modifications. The review-before-apply approach improves accuracy and prevents unintended changes. The agent supports multiple modifications within a single session, which reduces editing time and streamlines the process of updating workflows. As a result, iterative refinement is faster and more intuitive than traditional manual editing.

If a workflow is created by using the Integration Agent, it can be modified with the Integration Agent only if there are no manual changes.

Integration authoring with feedback loop

The Integration Agent now engages in interactive dialog during workflow authoring, asking targeted clarification questions when needed. The guided approach can ensure that workflows are accurate and aligned with your goals, while it allows you to add details such as account selection and configuration options as you go. Instead of stopping abruptly or showing generic errors, the agent enables natural back-and-forth interaction, making authoring more intuitive and flexible while you iteratively refine requirements without assumptions. The conversational approach improves accuracy and increases overall success rates, creating a more efficient workflow authoring experience.

Chat history

The Integration Agent now maintains an organized history of your chat interactions, allowing you to revisit previous integration generation sessions and continue from where you left off. To view the chat history, click the overflow menu icon that is located in the upper-left area of the agent. Each conversation is saved as a navigable chat with a title automatically generated from the first few words of the discussion. The title updates as the conversation progresses, helping create a structured record of your integration development work. You can return to any chat and resume the conversation in context, allowing the agent to continue processing the integration from the same point. Each chat has an options menu next to its title, providing actions to Pin to top, Rename, or Delete the conversation. These features let you manage your chat history by pinning important chats, renaming conversations, and deleting sessions. You can also search for conversations to quickly find specific chats. Chats are automatically sorted by last updated time, making it easy to access your most recent activity.

Data retention

To enhance privacy and support enterprise compliance, the Integration Agent retains conversation data for 30 days after which it is automatically deleted. During this period, you can access and manage your chat history to stay organized and revisit previous conversations.

Public APIs enhancement

Publishing projects - Starting with the 12.0.1 release, you can publish projects along with their valid assets to a target tenant. For more information, see Publishing projects.

Connector enhancements

Updated connectors

• Salesforce® CRM - SOAP - The Salesforce trigger is renamed to Salesforce® CRM - SOAP to provide clearer identification. The trigger events in this connector remain available and unchanged.

  • Existing trigger configurations - No action is required. Existing triggers continue to operate without change.
  • New trigger configurations - Use Salesforce® CRM - SOAP when you create new triggers.
• Connector namespace changes
  Namespace updates are applied for connectors to align with product branding and improve consistency across the platform.

  • In existing projects or assets, two connectors with the same SaaS backend version may appear in the environment.
  • In new projects, only the updated connector version is available.
  Backward compatibility
  • The original connectors use the softwareag namespace.
  • The new connectors use the webmethods namespace and display a “.1” suffix (for example, Salesforce CRM REST‑version:60.1). This approach maintains backward compatibility while clearly distinguishing between namespace versions.
  Impact on integrations
  • Existing integrations require no immediate action and continue to function without changes.
  • New integrations should use connectors with the webmethods namespace, indicated by a “.1” suffix.

Deprecated connectors

AS2 - The AS2 connector is deprecated and will become obsolete in the next release.

Workaround - Use webMethods B2B Integration to exchange documents over the AS2 channel.

Removed connectors

The following connectors are removed in this release and are no longer available:

• Cumulocity IoT
• Cumulocity IoT OEE
• ARIS
• ARIS Process Mining
• AgileApps

Because these connectors are not IBM‑owned, they cannot be supported. Any integrations or configurations that depend on them stop functioning after the upgrade.

Recommended guidelines

• Review integrations that use these connectors.
• Identify supported alternatives and migrate where applicable.

Automatic custom REST connector creation enhancements

Users can now create REST connectors by using Swagger or OpenAPI files with hundreds of resources without the process stopping. Connector creation is split into two parts. The deployment happens synchronously, and predefined operations are generated asynchronously in the background. You receive notifications when operations get created and when they are complete. Until then, the connector cannot be edited. This update improves performance and provides a smoother experience for large specifications.

For more information, see Creating a custom REST connector from a URL.

FTP and SFTP connector support for deploy anywhere flow services

Users can now use FTP and SFTP connectors in deploy anywhere flow services.

Deployment wizard enhancements

The Deployment feature is enhanced to support the promotion of projects along with their configuration settings. Previously, even if users exported all project assets, configuration settings had to be manually re-created in the target environment. With this enhancement, users can now publish and deploy both project assets and configurations across environments, eliminating the need for manual reconfiguration after publishing. To support these changes, the layout of the Deployment wizard is updated. Also the configuration values that are entered during deployment are not saved until the deployment process is completed. This option is to make sure that only finalized configurations are applied, reducing the risk of partial or incorrect setups. For more information, see Deploying projects and Publishing and deploying deploy anywhere projects.

Bearer-token authentication type for GitHub repositories

The GitHub version control accounts now support the bearer-token authentication type for accessing GitHub repositories. This method provides a secure, standardized alternative to Personal Access Tokens (PAT) for accessing repositories. Existing connections that use PAT remain supported.

For more information, see Configuring Git accounts.

Integration Agent enhancements

• The IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration platform agent and webMethods Integration capability agent are now unified for a seamless experience. You can start conversations at the platform level, and integration-specific prompts automatically route you to the webMethods Integration capability agent with full context.
• You can now create workflows across multiple conversational turns, while the agent retains context and refines the authoring plan incrementally. You can update the workflow through prompts or the canvas, and it is finalized only after your confirmation, enabling a flexible, context-aware, collaborative experience.
• The agent can now automatically generate the appropriate workflow trigger as it creates workflows from prompts. It configures polling triggers, clock triggers, and webhook triggers based on the workflow plan. In the Edit Plan window, you can review the generated trigger details and add any additional parameters as needed.
• The agent now supports Switch Case and Loop in workflow creation, enabling faster and complete workflow development.
• The agent now interprets source and target schemas and generates data mappings automatically. This update removes manual mapping, accelerates workflow creation, and helps to create accurate, schema-aware integrations. After deployment, the agent also prompts with Yes or Ignore to view the completed workflow, displaying it for review when Yes is selected.
• You can now run documentation prompts for any capability to explore features, understand their benefits, and discover new capabilities to enable.

For more information, see Building workflows with AI.

For more information, see Runtimes view associated with projects and Virtual runtimes.

Enhanced Smart Mapping

The Smart Mapping feature has been enhanced to leverage community-driven data for smarter, more accurate predictions. This enhancement integrates privacy-protected mapping insights from the webMethods Integration community, enabling the system to learn from real-world usage patterns while maintaining strict data privacy standards. For more information, see Using smart mapping.

Support for API tokens for Bitbucket version control accounts

Users can now use API tokens as a new authentication method for Bitbucket version control accounts. Bitbucket Cloud no longer supports App Passwords for authentication. This enhancement provides a secure and flexible alternative to App Passwords that complies with Bitbucket Cloud’s updated authentication standards. For more information, see Configuring Git accounts.

Customer action

Existing version control accounts that were set up with App Passwords will continue to function, but you must plan to migrate them to a supported method. For example, you can use API tokens before the App Passwords expire. To update the existing App Password version control accounts:

October 2025

Projects

Notification settings enhancements: The Project management notification category is added under Notification settings > Subscriptions. By default, all users with access to a project are automatically subscribed to this category. The Project management category currently sends notifications about project deletion events and keeps users informed when a project is removed. For more information, see Managing notifications.

Default project deprecated for new tenants: New tenants no longer have the Default project provisioned automatically. Users must create a project manually when they log in for the first time. Existing tenants retain their current Default project, which, as before, cannot be renamed or deleted. For more information, see Projects.

Project parameters: You can now mark project parameters as password-protected only during creation. This release removes the ability to mark or unmark parameters as password protected when updating them through the user interface or public API. For more information, see Updating project parameters through the user interface and Updating project parameters through the public API.

Self-service, goal oriented agentic integration authoring

You can use the self-service, goal-oriented agentic integration authoring feature to create integrations by describing your goals in natural language. The Integration Agent interprets the intent, generates a plan, and automatically builds and deploys the workflow. This self-service approach removes the need for deep technical or domain expertise, reducing dependency on integration specialists, and allowing them to focus on strategic priorities. The agent boosts productivity and agility by simplifying and accelerating the workflow creation process. For more information, see Building workflows with AI.

Workflows

Execution settings enhancements

• The Save status of each successfully executed action and Maintain workflow execution logs when executed via webhook or trigger options are removed and replaced with two new options:
  • Enable workflow to be resumed: Allows the workflow to resume from the last successful action after a failure.
  • Enable workflow to be restarted: Allows the workflow to automatically restart from the beginning after a failure.
• Log settings: Specifies the level of detail that is captured in workflow execution logs.

  For more information, see Execution settings.

Flow services

pub.date:stringiness: The pub.date:stringToDate service is added to built-in services, allowing conversion of string values into date objects. For more information, see Datetime services.

Time zone support for flow service scheduling: When you schedule a flow service, you can now specify the time zone to help ensure that the flow service execution occurs at the intended local time. The time zone setting applies to both one-time and recurring schedules. For more information, see Working with flow services.

Retention period for custom log messages: You can now configure the retention period of custom log messages for flow services by using the Modify Retention Period link in the execution details for the flow service. For more information, see Viewing flow service execution logs.

Develop anywhere, deploy anywhere

Support to import projects from external Git repositories: The Import project option is provided for deploy anywhere projects that allow users to restore deleted projects or import other projects from different environments into their current workspace. This enhancement simplifies project recovery and helps reduce downtime. Imported projects now include associated assets such as project variables, reference data, and document types, making them usable in both Flow services and Deploy Anywhere Flow services. For more information, see Importing deploy anywhere projects from external Git repositories. Currently, workflow, workflow parameters, APIs, and IC services are not included.

Support for predefined actions in connectors for deploy anywhere flow services: Few connectors that are used in deploy anywhere flow services are enhanced to support predefined actions, allowing for more streamlined and consistent integration across environments. These actions are built into the connectors and can be started without requiring custom logic or manual configuration. Using predefined actions in connectors enables faster development, consistent behavior across environments, reduced errors, and easy maintenance through standardized, reusable functions. For more information, see Using connectors in deploy anywhere flow services.

Improved package variable management: Package variables can be updated through configuration settings. These changes apply only within the project and do not sync with external repositories. If overridden from self-managed runtime, those values take priority. You can also revert to default package values or mark variables as password fields to secure sensitive data. For more information, see Updating package variables.

Enhanced package version management: The enhanced package version mechanism now supports version comparison and contextual messaging. When a package is added, the runtime replica checks if the same or a newer version exists. Based on this evaluation, it avoids redundant installations, allows upgrades when appropriate, and blocks downgrades to maintain consistency across shared projects. Previously, packages were reinstalled regardless of version, with only a generic message shown. This enhancement improves package lifecycle control, reduces unnecessary operations, and can ensure consistency across shared projects. For more information, see Updating packages.

Support for globalVariable:multivariable: Deploy anywhere flow services now support the globalVariable:getGlobalVariable service, enabling direct access to global variables within your flows. The service allows users to retrieve a global variable that is defined in their project package without requiring any custom wrapper services or more configuration. For more information, see globalVariable:getGlobalVariable.

Enhanced debugging support: New debugging options Step-in and Step-return are provided for users to step in and step out of services or loops. This option enables detailed inspection of logic and more efficient troubleshooting, directly within the editor. For more information, see Steps to debug flow services.

Improved sync experience in deploy anywhere flow service: The sync operation is improved and users can edit flow services while synchronization is in progress. Also, notifications now indicate when the sync process begins and ends. For more information, see Downloading sync reports.

Update the account information for connectors: Users can now update the account information for the connectors that are used in deploy anywhere integrations from the Connectors > Deploy anywhere page. The edit option is displayed when a user hovers over the account. For more information, see Editing connections in deploy anywhere integrations.

Support for deploy anywhere flow services in REST APIs: Users can now use deploy anywhere flow services to create REST APIs, and publish and deploy them. For more information, see Using deploy anywhere integrations in REST APIs.

Improved error display in deploy anywhere flow services

• Errors related to any connector connectivity issues are shown on the Results page. Users no longer need to go to specific steps to view these errors. This enhancement makes the troubleshooting quicker and more efficient.
• The Throw Exception on Error option is available for deploy anywhere flow services when creating custom actions. If enabled, any exceptions that occur during the running of a custom action are forwarded to the deploy anywhere flow service. Users no longer need to go to specific steps to view these errors. This enhancement makes the troubleshooting quicker and more efficient.

  For more information, see Using connectors in deploy anywhere flow services.

Enhancements to deploy anywhere integrations in workflows

• Timeout settings for package services: Users can now configure a timeout for Package Service invocations in workflows using the Timeout in seconds option in the Settings dialog. A timeout exception occurs if the service runs longer than the defined limit. This limit must be lesser than the timeout limit specified for workflows.
• Enhanced runtime traceability in workflows and monitoring: The workflow canvas and monitoring pages now include details that indicate the runtime on which the deploy anywhere flow service is run.

  For more information, see Using deploy anywhere integrations in workflows.

Auto commit enhancements: Administrators can now enable the auto commit feature from the Preferences tab. If enabled, the changes are automatically committed to the repository when they save the changes. If an error occurs, you can fix it and commit the changes manually. For more information, see Auto commit Git actions.

Pipeline view enhancements

• Users can now hover over the Set Value field to view the configured values, without needing to click or open the field box.
• Users can resize the pipeline view window to better suit their preferred layout.

  For more information, see Pipeline.

Git account details for packages: Users can now update Git account details for a package. With this enhancement, a dedicated Git account can now be associated directly with a package. This account is associated with the package and is created within the project. The user who created the package owns and manages it. The Git account can be configured and edited from both the Package View and the Version Control pages, giving package owners full control over access and management. For more information, see Updating packages.

Shared Git accounts: Users can now share their Git accounts with others to facilitate collaboration. Shared accounts allow users to pull the recent changes from a repository into their workspace. Shared Git accounts are read-only. They cannot be used to commit changes or create new projects. For more information, see Configuring Git accounts.

Viewing and running package services: Users can now explore flow service assets in more detail. By selecting a flow service, they can open it in the flow editor to view its steps in read-only mode. Editing remains disabled. Users can also run the services and inspect their input and output signatures. Previously, users were able to view only a list of assets available in package services.

Syntax update for deploy anywhere flow services: Syntax update is done to several controls within the deploy anywhere flow services. This update helps ensure a consistent editing experience across both the flow editor and the IBM webMethods Designer. It enhances alignment between tools and improves compatibility across various development environments.

Automated variable sync in Cloud Design time: Newly added project variables are now automatically synced with the Cloud Design time, which was not so earlier. If the variable values are not in sync with the Cloud Design time, a warning icon is displayed next to the variable name. Users can update these values and make sure that the project variables are in sync with the runtime environment. Also, the Sync Variables option is provided to sync all variables. For more information, see Syncing project variables.

Cloud messaging

Clear queued messages for suspended subscribers: Clear option is added, which enables administrators to remove pending messages from suspended subscribers. It helps prevent message backlog, reduce resource usage, avoid processing delays, and ensures smooth reactivation without overwhelming the subscriber. Previously, it was not possible to delete messages from a suspended destination. As a result, after the configured limit was reached, older messages were dropped and lost due to insufficient space for new ones. For more information, see Creating messaging destinations.

APIs

Enhancements to REST API response codes: Users can define other response codes for successful responses as needed. Previously, only the default success response code (200) might be defined and it was non editable. Also, users can update and delete the existing success response code. However, if only one response code is available, then that code cannot be deleted. For more information, see Creating REST APIs.

Integration APIs available in webMethods Developer Portal: All webMethods Integration APIs are now accessible through the webMethods Developer Portal, making it easy for developers to discover, explore, and use APIs for building integrations. For more information, see Developer Portal.

New set of APIs

• Project configurations

  A new set of public REST APIs is now available to help users to promote projects. Previously, while users were able to export all project assets, they had to manually re-create configuration settings. With the new APIs, users can export and import the project configurations across environments, without the need for any manual reconfiguration after project import.

  APIs are provided for managing configurations based on the following categories:

  • Certificates
  • Schedules
  • Alert rules
  • Project parameters
  • Project variables
  • Vault variables
  • Connections
  • Project configurations
  • Git version control accounts

    For more information, see Public APIs.

• Workflows
  • Fetch execution payloads: Retrieve the original payload that triggered a workflow execution.
  • Restart workflows: Restart a previously run workflow that failed, been stopped, or timed out.
  • Configure retry mechanism: Enable automatic retries for failed workflow actions by setting retry intervals and maximum attempts.
  • Fetch detailed execution logs: Retrieve comprehensive logs for workflow executions.

  For more information, see Workflow APIs.

• Flow services
  • Restart flow services: Restart a specific flow service execution instance

  For more information, see Restarting flow services.
