Weβre thrilled to announce the release of FlowMattic v5.1.1, a powerful update that reflects our continued dedication to making automation seamless, intelligent, and deeply customizable.
This release brings two brand-new modules that open exciting possibilities in workflow automation β Magic Link and Lookup Table β along with key UI/UX enhancements, performance improvements, and a long list of vital bug fixes that fine-tune the entire experience.
Letβs dive in.
π New Modules that Redefine Automation
π Magic Link β Trigger Workflows with a Single Click
The Magic Link module introduces a completely frictionless way to execute your workflows. You can now trigger a workflow when someone clicks on a special link β ideal for onboarding flows, download confirmation, event tracking, and personalized campaigns.
Why it matters:
You no longer need forms, buttons, or APIs to trigger automation. A simple magic link is all it takes β turning user interactions into powerful automations.
π Lookup Table β Make Decisions with Custom Logic
The Lookup Table module allows you to create lightweight, dynamic decision tables right inside your workflows. Pass a key, and it returns the matching value β or a fallback β without needing external apps or APIs.
Why it matters:
Say goodbye to complicated conditional steps or custom-coded logic. Use Lookup Tables for translating values, mapping user roles, pricing tiers, coupon logic, and more β all visually and instantly.
