Release 2026.1
What's new in Flowable
The Agentic Case Platform. This release deepens autonomy, opens the model up to any LLM, makes unstructured data first-class, and brings real lifecycle governance to modeling.
Flowable 2026.1 sharpens the agentic case platform across the board. Agents gain guardrails and run on any LLM you choose, the platform turns email and documents into structured data your processes can act on, and Design grows real lifecycle governance with Git, a deployment pipeline and in-product testing.
Agentic AI & Automation
Build agents you can trust, on the models you choose, with tools that reach in both directions.
Guardrails
A layered guardrail system around every agent run, from deterministic checks to policy agents, with violations your process or case can handle.
Open LLM provider support
Run agents on any model, configured centrally and switchable at runtime, from hosted Anthropic and OpenAI to self-hosted and private models.
MCP in both directions
Consume tools from remote MCP servers, and expose Flowable itself as an MCP server.
Document agents
Document agents gain fallback models, structured inputs and in-Design testing.
AI-assisted modeling
Draft prompts, services, scripts and whole apps with AI help inside Design.
Agent evaluators
Automatically score the quality of what your agents produce, on every run, so you can measure and track agent quality over time.
Agent observability
See exactly what every agent did, with instance views, timelines and operations dashboards.
Unstructured Data, End to End
Email and documents become structured, classified, actionable data that processes and cases can read.
Email and attachments as content items
Incoming emails and their attachments become classified, reviewable content items automatically.
AI-assisted form prefill
Upload a document and let AI propose the values that fill a task form.
Native document events
Start and steer processes and cases the moment a document is created, renamed, moved or deleted.
Governance, Lifecycle & Trust
Version, review, test and control your models the way engineering teams expect.
Git connectivity for Design
Manage your models against a Git repository, with branching, pull requests and review, from inside Design.
Revision comparison
An overview of the models added, modified and deleted between two revisions, so a release is reviewed on its actual contents.
App Deployment pipeline
Approval workflows and environment-specific controls govern how and when models reach each environment.
Model testing in Design
Author and run process, case, service and agent tests inside Design before you publish.
Advanced access control across Design
Control who can create, edit, publish and unlock models, from the UI.
Assisted case and process migration
Migrate running hierachies in batches with shared mappings and a clear view of what changes.
Modeling & Reuse
Typed contracts, packaged building blocks and portable error handling for models that scale.
Typed inputs and outputs
Declare the contract of a process or case so reuse is explicit and far less error-prone.
Plugins that bundle whole models
Package entire processes, cases and agents as reusable plugins for cross-team reuse.
Service registry upgrades
Import OpenAPI, send multipart, authenticate flexibly, and pass on the caller's identity.
Variable and ERD views in the editor
See the variables a model uses and the shape of your data, right in the editor.
Experience, Accessibility & Operations
A more accessible UI, richer forms, and an administration console ready for on-premise.
