Busabase

Busabase v1.3.0 Release Notes

Edit and find records directly in a Base, organize attachments into folders, and let workflows respond to schedules, status changes, and external messages. This week also brings improvements to file previews, template installation, and backup and restore.

Released: November 12, 2026

✨ New Features

  • Edit content directly in a Base: On a computer, double-click a cell to edit titles, text, numbers, dates, and single-select values, search for members to assign, or click “+” in a relation cell to select other records.

  • Find records within the current view: The Base toolbar now has a search box for common fields or a specific field, while keeping the current view's filters and sorting.

  • Choose the row height for each grid view: Each grid view can save one of four row heights—short, medium, tall, or extra tall—to show more of long text, multiple tags, and attachments. Your choice is remembered the next time you open that view.

  • Give each record its own file drive: The new Drive field lets you organize contracts, invoices, and photos into folders, then upload, move, rename, and manage them in record details. You can also convert an existing attachment field to Drive and keep the original files.

  • Start a workflow when a status changes: A workflow can watch for changes to a specific field, or start only when it becomes a particular value, such as “Order status becomes Ready to ship.” User guide

  • Run workflows on a schedule: Workflows can start every few minutes or hours, or at a set time each day or week, for routine checks and reminders. Minute intervals start at 15 minutes, daily and weekly times use the time zone you were in when saving, and you can activate the schedule by switching to Event mode and saving. User guide

  • Let incoming messages start a workflow: A workflow can generate a dedicated incoming URL for another service to call, passing the received content to later steps. Switch to Event mode and save to use it; a short workflow can also return its result directly to the caller. User guide

  • Ask an Agent to add custom processing to a workflow: Function steps can run JavaScript to organize data, call an agent, or send messages, without waiting for a dedicated connector for every service. Ask an Agent to write the code, and let later steps use its result. User guide

  • Run more complex code on a sandbox machine: When you need Python, extra packages, or a longer-running task, set a Function step to run on a sandbox machine. It is available on Cloud Plus and above once the sandbox service is configured; the workflow waits while the code runs, then continues when it finishes. User guide

  • Process a batch of records one by one: The new Find records action can retrieve records from a Base or one of its views for processing as a group, or run the following steps separately for each record. For example, find overdue tasks each morning and notify each owner, with up to 200 records per lookup. User guide

  • Retry a workflow from the step that failed: After fixing a setting or waiting for the other service to recover, anyone with edit access to the workflow can retry from the failed step without repeating earlier completed steps. The failed step itself runs again, so requests it already sent may be sent again; check before retrying. User guide

  • Add authentication and signatures when connecting services: Webhook steps can include authentication and other request headers, and can sign requests so the receiver can verify they came from that step. Follow the guide to configure verification on the receiving service and identify forged requests or old requests sent again. User guide

  • Ask an Agent to invite teammates: Workspace owners and admins can ask a connected Agent to invite members by email, create invite links, or handle join requests according to their decisions. Email recipients and roles are confirmed before sending; inviting an admin also requires a manage-level key. User guide

  • Check workflows and approve steps away from your computer: The mobile app's Inbox shows workflows waiting for your decision, so you can open one to approve or reject it. You can also check progress, completed steps, and errors in a workflow's Runs view, with approval buttons shown according to your actual permissions. User guide

🔧 Improvements

  • See more before selecting a related record: Click “+” in a Base's relation field to search and see a summary of the target Base's first few fields, including attachment thumbnails. Expand selected records in batches when there are many, adjust forward or reverse relations in place, then save or submit them for review.

  • An easier place to publish an existing app as a website: Choose “Publish to site” from an AirApp's “…” menu to check whether it is ready, see a team preview, and decide whether to go live.

  • Clearer website domain settings: Required configuration is grouped together, and you can collapse the details of a connected domain. Once verified, the website's open button uses the connected custom domain and updates when you add, remove, or recheck domains.

  • Read HTML pages first, edit when you need to: Web reports and shared pages open with their formatted content, and editing starts when you click Edit.

  • Install templates with a name that makes sense to you: Use names in Chinese, Japanese, or other languages, and install the same template as several independent copies. Progress and errors are easier to see, with a clear notice if a connection drops and the result has not yet been confirmed.

  • An easier way to browse more templates: Both the public template catalog and the workspace Template Center support pagination, and keep your search and page when you return from a detail page.

  • Preview more attachments without leaving the dialog: Read Markdown, text, code, and configuration files directly in the attachment dialog, with a shared preview experience for supported spreadsheets, archives, ebooks, and more. Retry a failed read in place, or download the original when its size or format cannot be previewed.

  • Recognize attachment types at a glance: PDFs, spreadsheets, documents, presentations, code, and archives have distinct file icons with different colors and symbols. Base grids, expanded lists, and record details use the same icons, and taller rows also make filenames easier to read.

  • Faster filtering and sorting in large Bases: Improved filtering, sorting, counting, and grouping for Bases with many records, reducing the amount of unrelated content read to display a page. Your existing view conditions and sorting continue to apply.

  • Less waiting in Inbox and Activity: Improved how Inbox, workspace Activity, and audit lists load, so you can see entries you have access to sooner when there is more content.

  • Withdraw your own request before it is handled: Authors can close their own pending change requests when plans change, without asking an admin to do it for them. Reviewers keep their existing permissions to review and close requests.

  • Find the right browser tab more easily: Browser tab titles follow the Base, document, or other content you are viewing, and still identify it after a refresh.

  • Agents can confirm writes with fewer extra reads: When a save response already makes the result clear, an Agent can confirm completion without repeatedly reading the same information. It still checks further when it needs to wait, the outcome is unclear, or you explicitly ask for verification.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • More reliable drafts when editing several cells: Fixed edits across different fields overwriting someone else's changes, rejected drafts being lost, and text line breaks changing. Conflicts explain what happened so you can check and submit again.

  • Base-specific access survives a refresh: Fixed members with proposal access to a particular Base being incorrectly denied access after refreshing or opening a direct link.

  • Forms handle attachments, relations, and members correctly: Fixed these fields appearing as ordinary text boxes; you can now upload files, search members, and page through related records, then submit according to the field's existing requirements.

  • Keep search results that have already been found: Fixed later search stages timing out and discarding earlier matches, common search terms missing newer files, and some timeouts being shown as “No results.”

  • Chinese input no longer opens a result while you are choosing characters: Fixed search treating Enter and arrow keys used by the input method as result navigation. Remote search waits until you confirm the text, reducing searches and empty results while you are still composing.

  • Return to the same Agent conversation after a refresh: Fixed the chat panel losing the selected Agent or session when the page reloads, including older conversations. If a session is no longer available, you can retry or choose another.

  • Agent reference content works across domains: Fixed reference content from the same Cloud workspace being incorrectly rejected after a domain change or when execution continued in the background.

  • AirApps can read records without response-format errors: Fixed an upgrade causing apps and pages that use workspace data to fail when parsing records; newly created Python apps also choose their runtime based on their own files.

  • Website previews recheck after you fix the files: Fixed previews staying on an old validation error after the files had been corrected. Changes now trigger another readiness check to determine whether the preview can resume.

  • Pagination and mobile actions stay within reach: The grid pagination bar stays at the bottom of the panel even with many records, and page links wrap on narrow screens. Workflow toolbar actions also stay inside the screen on phones.

  • More reliable documentation images and community avatars: Fixed some help-center images failing to display, and show name initials instead of a broken image when a community avatar cannot load.

  • Deleting a small document no longer waits on the whole file library: Fixed permanent deletion of a small document taking too long in workspaces with many files, while keeping files that are still used elsewhere.
