What's new in Parabola?

Send to FTP has a number handling setting when the file type is XLSX. On the recommended setting, identifiers longer than 15 digits (e.g. order numbers, barcodes, account numbers) stay as text instead of being rounded off, and real numbers get a plain format so Excel stops rendering them as 1.23E+12. New steps use it by default. Steps you already built keep writing numbers exactly as they do now; add a new step to pick up the change.

Close your tab while Prowork is mid-edit and it keeps working. Anyone else on that Flow now sees “Prowork is editing this Flow” and can view it until the turn ends, so their changes can’t land on top of what Prowork is writing. Editing comes back on its own when Prowork finishes, and your own Prowork never locks you out of your own Flow.

Dragging an arrow onto a step only connected if you let go near the top-left corner, even though the whole step lit up as a target. The drop zone now covers the step, so releasing anywhere on it makes the connection.

Prowork now writes changes to your Flow from the backend instead of routing them through your browser. Edits land faster and it recovers better when it configures a step wrong on the first try. How you prompt it doesn’t change.

Steps that read a PDF (Extract from PDF, Pull from file queue, and Extract from email) now run on a rebuilt parser. It uses a newer model, so it holds up better on messy documents and awkward table layouts, and it reads the document as markdown first, which makes larger PDFs parse faster and lets it handle documents that used to be too big to get through. Steps you already built keep the parser they were created with, so add a new step to pick up the improvements.

Search a step’s results, click a row, and trace it — tracing would sometimes open on a different row and clear your search on the way. It now traces the row you actually clicked, and the filter stays put, so you can trace another row without typing the search again.

Your Home view now has a New Flow row at the top of your list, laid out like any other Flow. Click it to create a fresh Flow. The New Flow button is still in the header on every other Flows page, and it’s green now so it’s easier to spot. The row hides itself while a search or filter is active.

Send emails by row has an Email template setting with two options: Parabola branded, or plain text with no branding. Pick plain text and the “Powered by Parabola” footer is left off the emails that step sends. Email a file attachment already offers this option.

The header on a shared artifact link ran off the side of the screen on a phone. Below 600px wide it keeps to one row and drops what it can: the last-calculated timestamp is hidden, and Share and the new-version indicator shrink to icons. The artifact name truncates instead of pushing everything else off-screen.

The Pull from webhook step shows {} in its Mocked data field when nothing is set, but deleting the contents saved an empty value instead. The next webhook run failed with a calculation error and zero rows. An empty field reads as {} again, and steps already saved that way repair themselves on their next run. Mocked data that isn’t valid JSON now tells you so instead of failing generically.

A table wider than its artifact couldn’t be scrolled sideways in the result modal or in a shared link. Horizontal scrolling works in both places now, and panning and zooming on the canvas are unchanged. Artifacts pick this fix up on their next run.

You can add your own images to an artifact. Attach an image in the Prowork chat, ask Prowork to place it, and it renders everywhere the artifact shows up: on the canvas, in the result modal, or in a shared link. Handy for putting your logo on a report you send out, or dropping a diagram or screenshot into a dashboard. PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF all work, up to 1 MB per image.

When Prowork adds an integration step, it now considers accounts shared with your whole org, not just those attached to the Flow. With no clear single account to use, it leaves the step unauthenticated for you to pick. Steps you’ve already set up keep the account they have.

Two things could leave the canvas untidy after Prowork added steps. The view didn’t zoom back out to fit the whole Flow once new steps landed, and if you closed the tab while Prowork was still working, auto-arrange never ran on what it added. Reopening a Flow now arranges it when auto-arrange is on, and the view recenters once new steps land.

Open the History tab on any Flow to see past versions alongside run history and restore one. How far back the list goes depends on your plan.

Macro-enabled Excel files (.xlsm) didn’t appear in the Pull from Box file picker, so there was no way to select one. They now show up alongside .xlsx and .csv files and are read the same way. Macros in the file are ignored, never run.

On Flows that get a burst of webhooks, a run could sit in the queue long enough that checking its status marked it failed before it ever had a chance to start. That sent a “Your flow failed” email for a run that was fine, and left the run unable to recover. Waiting in the queue is no longer read as a failure: the run waits, then runs. Only a real result from the run itself sets its status.

Working with an artifact on the canvas now behaves like working with any other step. Pinch to zoom and two-finger swipe to pan while your cursor is over a selected artifact, instead of zooming the whole browser page or scrolling the artifact sideways. The resize handle also appears on hover, so you can resize without clicking into the artifact first.

Your conversations no longer lock while Prowork is thinking or making changes. Queue up as many messages as you want, edit them, or remove them before they’re sent. Prowork picks up queued messages between actions and adjusts course without dropping the work it’s already doing.

The latest Prowork message now carries an undo button next to the feedback thumbs on hover. Click it to put your Flow back the way it was right before you sent that prompt, including any edits of your own that landed in between. Undo lasts for your current session, so it goes away once you refresh the Flow or close the tab.

Send to Dropbox can now create files inside a folder instead of only at the top level of your account. Choose Create New File, enter a folder path like /Reports/2026, and the step shows the full path the file will land at as you type. Leave it blank and existing steps behave exactly as before.

Two things could stop the SharePoint file picker from opening. If your company serves SharePoint from its own domain rather than a sharepoint.com address, the picker failed before it loaded. And if a teammate shared a SharePoint connection with you as “Can use,” the picker checked for edit access it never needed. Both are fixed.

View-only, locked, running, and active schedules all cause Flows to enter a view-only state. That state now uses a more noticeable color to help you understand when you cannot edit. Prowork’s Ask mode picks up the same color while it’s on, which was easy to miss before.

A Pull from NetSuite step pulling a very large saved search could run out of time and then wrongly tell you to re-authorize. It now reports the real cause, a timeout from too much data, and suggests adding a filter or a narrower date range. NetSuite imports are also faster, pulling more rows per request so large searches finish sooner.

When an organization exceeded its usage limit, Parabola pauses any scheduled or triggered Flows. Once below the limit, Flows can now be run successfully again. Triggers stay paused until you turn them back on yourself, so nothing resumes and spends credits without you asking.

Artifacts are custom, interactive, shareable applications built agentically with your Flow data. Think dashboards, pivot tables, visual summaries, charts, or even recommended actions. Choose from thousands of visualizations and filters with a single prompt. Style them however you want, including with your company branding. When you’re ready to share, Parabola generates a link so you and your team can dig into the data together.

The Saved accounts modal used to select credentials for integration steps now shows the email of the person who connected each account, so it’s clear who owns a shared credential when you’re choosing one for a step.

New Custom transform steps now run on the same framework that Prowork uses to build Flows. Add the step, describe the transform you want in its prompt box, and Prowork writes and runs the code for you. It’s more capable than the previous Custom transform.

The Email a PDF step picked up a few upgrades. You can add line breaks in the email body, drag to reorder header and footer lines, and preview up to 1,000 rows before you send. If a merge tag points at a column that isn’t in your data, the step now flags it before it runs instead of failing silently.

A new Auto-arrange steps toggle sits with the zoom controls in the bottom-right of the canvas. Click it to tidy your Flow’s layout, and to turn auto-arrange mode on or off.

You can now drag files into the Prowork chat and have it read them to understand your data and process. Prowork can also add an attached file to the canvas as a source step. Supports DOCX, CSV, MD, JSON, PDF, XLSX, images, and more. Use the paperclip icon in the Prowork chat composer to directly attach files. Multiple files can be attached to a single message. Read more.

Integration steps now show an AI-written description based on how you’ve set them up. Descriptions update in the background when you change a step’s settings, and any description you’ve written yourself is left untouched.

The triggers panel no longer squeezes long email addresses, webhook URLs, and schedule descriptions into overlapping rows. Rows now grow to fit, long values shorten with the full text on hover, and error and empty states are cleaner.

The plus button on a step now opens a Prowork prompt with quick starters like “Create a visualization” or “Export this data,” so you can describe what you want next instead of picking from a step list. Right-clicking a step to visualize it, or right-clicking the canvas to add a step, now prompts Prowork the same way.

Charts that color by an unordered category, like region or status, now use a distinct color for each value instead of shades of one color. Ranked buckets, like age ranges, still use a graded color scale.

Search the Flows page using an inbound email address, webhook URL, or file queue URL to instantly find the flow it triggers. Handy when you've got the trigger address in hand but can't remember which flow it belongs to. Works across Home, My Flows, All Flows, Starred, and Team Flows.

Integration steps are larger and show a description and a sample of their columns. You can browse their data and configure them directly on the canvas. Add a new integration step to get the updated experience; existing integration steps keep their current size.

The new Email a PDF file step can create a PDF from your data and email it automatically. You can preview the PDF, which includes a table of the input data, add headers and footers, include custom logos or signatures, and insert values from the first row of your table.

Introducing Data Tracing. Click a row to see which upstream rows contributed to it, then follow the path across connected steps to understand where a value came from and how it changes across your entire Flow. Works great with agentic visualizations!

Messages like View only, Refresh needed, and Editing is locked now appear as a compact status pill next to the Prowork agent. The pill keeps the canvas clear while still showing the actions available for that Flow.

Pull from SharePoint now uses a native file picker, so you can browse SharePoint directly instead of searching by site and drive first. The step also supports larger CSV and Excel files.

The Pull from Excel file step has been rebuilt for larger workbooks. New Excel uploads can handle files up to 1 GB, and you can pull every sheet into one stacked table with the sheet name included on each row.

Large step result tables load smoother while scrolling and more clearly show that more results are being fetched.

The “Use sample data” step now uses a unified, fictional company across its examples, with datasets grouped by team. Some datasets include hidden discrepancies, so you can try reconciliation and investigation workflows with realistic test data.

New Flows now start with auto-arrange turned on, so steps stay organized as the Prowork agent builds or updates a Flow. If you move a step yourself, auto-arrange turns off and can be re-enabled.

The filters on the Flows page have been improved and now use your local timezone when filtering for Today or Yesterday. New filters have been added for Status — “Triggers paused” and “Has not run”.

Parabola Flows have been redesigned for Prowork. Updated navigation, chat sidebar, and theme deliver all of the same features in a beautiful layout that helps you focus on the task at hand. Initially, all Flows will use this “light” theme. Additional themes in progress!

The filters on the Flows page have been updated to a more compact design. New filters have been added for Status (Schedule paused, last run succeeded, last run failed), Last run time (Today, Yesterday, Last 7, 14, 30, 90 days) and Last edit time (Today, Yesterday, Last 7, 14, 30, 90 days). These filters are also accessible on team flows and in folders.

You can now upload a profile photo, pick a color for your initials avatar, and remove a photo whenever you want. Your avatar updates everywhere across Parabola right away.

My Profile and Billing & Usage have a refreshed layout, with settings grouped into clear sections and one place to check your usage. Saving a change now confirms with a quick toast.

AI generated charts and visualizations now support color themes. Open the theme picker on any chart to recolor it instantly, and new charts pick a fitting theme on their own. If a chart already uses its own custom colors, it stays exactly the way you set it.

We've built a new way to visualize your data in Parabola. Now, when you chat with the AI sidebar, you can create beautiful visualizations of your data. Any chart you can dream of, you can now add to your Flows.

Empty folders and Flows pages now have clearer blank states.

We redesigned our homepage from the ground up. The new parabola.io is faster, sharper, and better reflects how teams are actually using Parabola today. Take a look around!

We launched a new prompt library - a collection of ready-to-use prompts you can bring straight into your Flows. Browse by use case, grab a prompt, and start building immediately.

Parabola now integrates natively with Ramp. Pull your transaction data, reimbursements, and card spend directly into Parabola — no CSV exports or manual downloads. Connect your Ramp account and start building in minutes.

The SharePoint and OneDrive file dropdowns now sort by most recently modified, and won't re-run the search once you've picked a file.

The Generate CSV file step can create much larger CSVs without running into memory limits.

The Generate Excel file step has been rebuilt from the ground up with better formatting fidelity and significantly faster runs on large workbooks.

The AI chat sidebar now has two modes: Build and Ask. Switch to Ask mode to explore a Flow, ask questions, and plan - without the AI making any changes. Flows automatically open in Ask mode when you have view-only access.

Even better: viewers can now use the AI chat sidebar too. Whether you're troubleshooting a teammate's Flow or reviewing a process, you can ask the AI about what's happening without needing edit access.

A new native QuickBooks Online integration. Pull invoices, customers, transactions, and more directly into your Flows.

The Flows page got a visual refresh - cleaner layout, updated icons, and better visual hierarchy to help you find what you need faster. A few usability wins too: checkboxes are now always visible for bulk actions, you can rename a Flow right from the list, and sharing icons now clearly distinguish between team-shared and org-shared Flows.

We also fixed a bug where filters weren't working on Team and Folder pages - those are fully functional now.

Uploading large files now shows a live progress bar, so you can see exactly how we're progressing through the file upload.

Browse and restore prior versions of any flow from the new Version History panel. We've also backfilled older Flows, so you'll have meaningful history available right away. Version history includes any edits made in your Flows, so you can see who edited each Flow and go back in time. Version history is available to our customers on our Advanced and Enterprise plans.

The Pull from and Push to HubSpot Contacts steps now use HubSpot's V3 API ahead of the V1 sunset. No action required.

You can now jump directly to a step's inputs and outputs while viewing its results - no need to close and click around the canvas. We also added step history: a dropdown and arrow controls that let you quickly revisit recently viewed steps. Think of it as a back button for your Flow.

Uploading CSV files from the canvas is now faster and more reliable, especially for large or unusually formatted files.

When the AI chat sidebar builds a Flow for you, it now automatically runs auto-layout, so the flows it builds arrive neatly organized out of the box.

The Send to NetSuite step is now available to all customers on Advanced and Enterprise plans. Create, update, upsert, or transform records.

The Email a file attachment step now respects newlines in the email body, so multi-paragraph templates render the way you wrote them.

Use the Pull from SuiteQL (NetSuite) step to access data in your NetSuite account using SuiteQL queries.

Enterprise admins can now restrict which external domains Flows are allowed to pull data from or push data to via the API steps.

Org Admins can now set any integration to "Restricted" from the Integration Management page. When an integration is restricted, only the user who owns the credentials used to authorize it can edit the step's settings. Teammates who open a shared flow with a restricted step will see a read-only view, with the option to switch to their own credentials or create a new authorization. This ensures that only the authorized user can control what data is imported or exported through an integration they've set up.

Org Admins on Advanced and Enterprise plans can now control which integrations are available across their organization from a new Integration Management page. Set any integration to enabled, restricted, or disabled. Restricted integrations limit step editing to the credential owner, while disabled integrations block usage entirely.

You can now stop the AI chat sidebar while it's working. Hit the stop button to cancel a response mid-stream - no more waiting for it to finish if you realize you need to change direction.

Enterprise teams can now stream Parabola audit logs in real time to their own infrastructure for ingestion into SIEM tooling. Get full visibility into user authentication, flow modifications, access events, and more.

The auto-layout button now supports flows that use cards. Hit the auto-layout button in the bottom corner of the flow canvas to instantly organize even your most complex flows - cards and all.

We've launched a completely redesigned documentation site at parabola.io/docs. Search across all of our documentation, ask questions with "Ask AI," and enjoy a cleaner, faster browsing experience. A new home for Parabola University with new content coming very soon!

All invoices and receipts are now available directly on the billing page - no more waiting for PDFs to be sent manually. Admins will also see a new banner when invoices are past due, with a direct link to take action.

You can now talk to the chat sidebar using your voice. Chat with Parabola's AI builder out loud for a faster, more natural building experience. Currently available in Chrome browsers.

Click any cell to highlight its row, or click a column header to highlight the entire column. Highlights are durable — they stick as you scroll and navigate, making it easier to track specific data across large datasets.

The Send to FTP step now supports XML as an export file type. Place your XML content in a single column, and the step handles the rest - including merge tags for dynamic file names and folder paths, validation to catch errors before export, and the ability to export up to 50 files per run.

We fixed an issue where pausing and then clearing a flow's run queue would permanently hide the queue panel, locking you out from resuming. The panel now stays visible whenever the queue is paused, so you can always resume.

The Custom transform step just got two big upgrades. Steps can now accept up to 5 input tables, making it easier to work across multiple datasets in a single step. You can also lock output columns in place so that regenerating or editing your logic won't change the structure of your results.

The Format numbers step can now read accounting-formatted numbers like ($100) and transform them into any other format. No more workarounds with Find & replace. If you're working with accounting data, format it first with this step and then use it throughout your flow.

Step placemats make flow building faster: drop a step onto a placemat and arrows connect instantly. Previously only available when dragging from the step search bar, placemats now appear whenever you're moving disconnected steps around the canvas.

When you delete a step, we now automatically reconnect the surrounding steps. Delete B from A → B → C and we'll reconnect A → C for you.

We fixed an issue with the Send Email by Row step where emails would fail if your data cells contained curly brackets {}. We also improved error messages to now show exactly which variable is missing and where it's located, making troubleshooting easier.

We updated our AI chat sidebar to use GPT-5.2. You can expect faster and more accurate replies!

You can now access your standard browser context menu by right-clicking text within cards. Use it to quickly copy/paste, correct spelling, or use browser extensions directly on your card text.

Credential owners can now take an additional step to hide sensitive Looker fields from the broader team. Simply check the new visibility toggle to ensure fields like Client Data remain private while still allowing your team to use the account on their flows.

The "S" hotkey is back in action. Press "S" at any time to instantly open the Superbar and search for steps.

Resolved a bug where the Microsoft Dynamics step would occasionally calculate twice when opened for configuration. We’re also rolling out system-wide improvements to prevent redundant refreshes across other steps soon.

We fixed a bug where Parabola Table names weren’t saving correctly, causing them to appear as “Uninitialized table” in dropdown menus. Your tables will now correctly display their assigned names everywhere they appear.

If you’ve been away from your flow for a while, we’ll no longer automatically kick you back to the Flows page. Instead, you’ll see a helpful banner prompting you to refresh the page so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

The Find & Replace text boxes are finally bigger! You now have much more room to see exactly what you’re searching for and what you’re replacing it with.

We’ve made two key updates to help you navigate your flows more smoothly:

• Permanent scrollbars on results: We’ve made the horizontal scrollbar permanent so you can seamlessly navigate large datasets—especially helpful for non-trackpad users.
• Canvas "Swipe-to-Exit" protection: We’ve addressed an issue where scrolling horizontally on the canvas and step results view could accidentally trigger a "back" gesture and exit your flow. Now, you can move around your step results and canvas freely without losing your spot.

‍

We’ve swapped the configuration settings in the Sum by Group and Average by Group steps to better align with how you intuitively build. This small change makes these steps faster and more logical to set up.

When you duplicate a flow, Parabola will now automatically open the new copy in a separate tab.
