June 2026
- Ingresses
- A new Ingresses tab is introduced under Projects to enhance the visibility and organization of incoming connections. Ingress resources are now grouped under their respective client applications within a project, providing a clearer understanding of how external applications use project services. This enhancement improves navigation, streamlines troubleshooting, and enables more efficient management of ingress configurations. For more information, see Ingresses.
- Private projects
- Users can now create and manage projects privately. When a project is made private, only the
project owner and collaborators explicitly granted with write access can view or modify its assets.
This enhancement provides users with greater security, clearer ownership boundaries, and better
governance over critical project content.
The Project Management APIs have also been enhanced to support project access control features. For more information, see Creating projects and Project APIs.
- Support for mutual TLS (mTLS)
- Users can now enable secure, certificate-based authentication between webMethods Integration and client applications. This enhancement allows both systems to verify each other’s identity, and ensure that only trusted clients can access APIs and exchange data securely. For more information, see Setting up secure connections with Mutual TLS (mTLS).
- Support for custom domains
- Custom domains that are configured at the platform-level are now supported in webMethods Integration. For more information, see Configuring custom domains.
- Package enhancements
-
- Adding packages
- Users can now add packages to projects from webMethods Package Registry and Cloud Designtime in addition to the existing external Git repositories. This enhancement improves flexibility by enabling users to add packages from multiple sources directly within projects. For more information, see Adding packages from IBM webMethods Package Registry and Adding packages from Cloud Designtime.
- Custom package assets in projects
- Assets in the project or custom packages can be referenced in the deploy anywhere flow editor. You can view and utilize the reference data and document types of custom packages in the projects. Previously, reference data and document types from dependent or custom packages were not visible in the project configuration. The reference data and document types from custom packages were listed as a service in the package information. For more information, see Using custom package assets in projects.
- Deploy anywhere flow service enhancements
-
- Built-in security services
- The deploy anywhere flow service editor supports security services such as signing, verification, encryption, or decryption of inputs and outputs. For more information, see Security services.
- Built-in flow services
- The invokeService is added to the built-in flow services, allowing you to run type of service. For more information, see invokeService.
- Dynamic accounts
- Dynamic accounts are now supported across all connectors in deploy anywhere flow services for custom actions. For more information, see Using connectors in deploy anywhere flow services.
- Runtimes and virtual runtimes
- Users can now view runtimes for a deploy anywhere flow service. The Runtimes feature is also enhanced to support filtering runtimes view by referenced service. Other improvements include clearer distinction between virtual runtimes and runtimes and their relations with the referenced services. For more information, seeRuntimes view associated with projects.
- HTTP connector
- HTTP connector is now supported in deploy anywhere flow services.
- Custom REST connector enhancements
-
The Custom REST connector wizard now supports advanced connector properties, including Validate Schema and Exclude XML Declaration, to provide greater control over XML request handling and schema validation. These properties can be configured after connector creation by editing the connector.
For more information, see Custom REST connector wizard.
- Flow editor enhancements
-
- Flow service controls
- The Repeat for Count step now supports a configurable
repeat-on attribute with on success and on failure options. The
Exit step now supports an Exit level attribute that specifies from
where in the execution hierarchy the flow service should exit.
For more information, see Working with flow services.
- Error message toasts
- Error message toasts in the Integration and Flow editor UI can now be dismissed without losing visibility of the issue. Error message toasts now include a new Archive option that allows users to move the message to the Notifications panel for later reference.
- REST and SOAP API access enhancements
- Custom REST and SOAP APIs in webMethods Integration can be configured to allow both public and private access. From more information, see Creating REST APIs and Creating SOAP APIs.
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) support enhancements
- webMethods Integration now uses Stream able HTTP to communicate with the MCP server. Services that are exposed as MCP tools can now easily be disabled and re-enabled. For more information, see MCP Tools.
- Connector enhancements
- New connectors
- FreshsalesCRM - FreshsalesCRM enables you to manage sales processes by creating, updating, and tracking contacts, accounts, deals, and activities within workflows.

You can configure a single listener with multiple worker threads, each with its own isolated consumer connection, to significantly increase message throughput without manually replicating listener nodes.
- Imported Package Account Support
-
You can now select and use imported package accounts when configuring Database, SAP ERP, IBM MQ, IBM Power, and Kafka connections.
- Concurrent messaging support for topics
- Messaging topics now support concurrent messaging.
May 2026
- Changes to editing Integration Agent‑created workflows
- In the March 2026 release, the Integration Agent allowed you to edit workflows only within the
agent and only when you made no manual changes. Starting with the May 2026 release, you can edit
workflows that are created by the Integration Agent even after making simple changes outside the
agent. Only workflows that are created by the Integration Agent are eligible. This update allows
limited flexibility for making minor edits while maintaining safeguards that prevent potential
issues.
When workflows are edited outside the Integration Agent, support is limited to the following changes.
- Supported changes
- Utility nodes: Loop, Logger, Switch
- Connector nodes: Existing connector nodes can be modified, and new connector nodes can be added, provided they are recognized by the Integration Agent
- Unsupported changes
- Adding utilities outside the supported list
- Existing mappings or lookup definitions, which may not be retained after editing
- Supported changes
- Workflows
- Introducing correlation IDs
You can now set a custom correlation ID when you configure the Wait for Callback action. The system appends this correlation ID to the execution URL, and you can use it to resume the workflow. This provides an alternative to the existing execution ID, which the system also sets and appends to the execution URL used to resume the workflow. For more information, see correlation ID.
- Expanded project variable substitution support
- Project variable substitution support has been expanded to connector accounts beyond Salesforce
connectors that use credential-based authentication. You can now substitute project variables in
additional account fields, except for transient fields and fields with predefined drop-down values.
The new Substitute project variables icon makes inserting variables easier
and more convenient.Note: This feature is not supported for the SAP S/4HANA® Cloud, SAP S/4HANA Marketing Cloud, and Workday connectors.
For more information, see Using project variables in a connector account.
- Connector enhancements
- Updated connectors
- MQTT - A new action, Publish Message, is introduced to publish messages to an MQTT broker or topic.
- AMQP 1.0 - The AMQP 1.0 connector has been updated to version 3 (v3), adding support for topic-based (publish-subscribe) messaging in addition to the existing queue-based (point-to-point) messaging. It also supports wildcard topic subscriptions, depending on the capabilities of the AMQP broker being used (such as Amazon MQ, Solace, or ActiveMQ Artemis). This update is fully backward compatible, and no action is required for existing implementations.
- New APIs for Packages
- A new set of public REST APIs are now available to help users to create and manage packages. Key
capabilities include:
- Pull or repull the main project package from its Git source.
- Pull or repull all dependent system packages in a single operation.
- Delete the package from the environment.
- Support for recursive document expansion limit
- Recursive document structures in package services now appear up to five levels in the Flow Editor. This fixed limit provides a consistent and manageable view of nested or repeating data. For more information, see Package services.
- Built-in services
-
The following Pub JSON services are now available in the deploy anywhere flow editor:
- pub.json:documentToJSON
- pub.json:jsonToDocument
- pub.json:closeArrayIterator
- pub.json:getArrayIterator
- pub.json:getNextBatch
- pub.json:documentToJSONString
- pub.json:jsonStreamToDocument
For more information, see JSON services.
March 2026
- 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.
- 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.Backward compatibility
- 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.
Impact on integrations- 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.
- 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.
As part of the connector namespace updates, updated versions of the following connectors are now available for newly created projects:
- Cloud Container
- FTP
- HTTP
- JMS
- Messaging
- PGP
- SFTP
- SMTP
These updated versions align with the new namespace conventions introduced across the platform.
Impact on integrations- Existing accounts and projects will continue to display and use the earlier connector versions to maintain backward compatibility. There is no impact on existing integrations, and no changes are required for currently configured accounts or projects.
- For newly created projects, only the updated connector versions that follow the new namespace conventions are available.
-
- 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.

December 2025
- 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.
- Projects
- The Projects page has been updated with a refreshed look and feel, clearer project card indicators, and a persistent dashboard view state to make navigation easier. For more information, see Creating projects.

- Add runtimes directly to the project.
- Create virtual runtimes as placeholders for runtimes and map them to any runtime. The virtual runtimes simplifies the transition between development, testing, and production environments.
- 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:
- Generate a token for those accounts.
- Update the version control account in webMethods Integration with the new token.
- Validate the connection by clicking the Validate button in the Add Git account dialog.

October 2025
- Projects
-
Notification settings enhancements: The Project management notification category is added under . 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Usage Analytics
- All metrics that are defined in IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration contracts are now converted to resource units and submitted to the IBM SaaS Console. This enables users to view resource-unit usage.
