A huge week. My Work gathers everything assigned to you across every board into one view, you can now archive channels and boards instead of deleting them, the automation builder gets a far more forgiving canvas plus GitHub, HubSpot and Google Sheets actions, and Ask Copera lets you choose how much effort it puts in and how much it's allowed to do on its own.

New Features

My Work — Everything Assigned to You, Across Every Board

A new cross-board view collects every row assigned to you, no matter which board it lives on (#3270):

  • A drawer and a full page — open My Work from the action bar for a quick glance, or as a full page when you want to work through it.
  • Grouped the way you think — group by due date (overdue, today, this week, later, undated) or by source board, sort by due date or last update, and hide what's already done.
  • Edit without leaving — change status, set a due date, or mark something complete right from the list.
  • Choose what feeds it — a sources popover lets board editors pick which columns count as the assignee, status, due date, and priority for each table. Copera detects sensible defaults automatically, and your choice is never overwritten.
  • Built for scale — the list is virtualized and paginated, so thousands of assigned rows stay smooth.

Archive Channels & Boards

  • Tidy your workspace without deleting anything — archive text, voice, and classroom channels as well as boards to hide them from your everyday navigation. Archived items collapse into a dedicated "Archived" section and can be restored anytime; an archived board or channel shows a read-only banner with a one-click unarchive. Only members with manage permission can archive or unarchive (#3164).

A Reimagined Automation Builder

The automation canvas was rebuilt around how people actually connect blocks (#3272):

  • Connections that just work — much larger connection targets, drop a connection onto a block to wire it up, or drop it on empty canvas to pick a new block that gets inserted and connected for you. Edges can be re-dragged, highlighted, and deleted.
  • Help on every field — every input across all blocks now has a plain-language description and an info tooltip.
  • Pickers instead of typing — choose Google Sheets spreadsheets and tabs, Google Calendar calendars, and WordPress categories or tags from live dropdowns, and pick email recipients from your workspace members as chips.
  • Wait steps — pause an automation for a set amount of time, or until a specific moment, and pick up exactly where it left off.
  • Loops and filters — run the rest of an automation once per item with a for-each step, find rows with a filtered search, and stop a run early with a single-output filter block.
  • Webhook trigger — give an automation its own address so another tool can start it.

Automation Integrations — GitHub, HubSpot, Sheets, Text-to-Speech & Data Enrichment

New blocks and triggers expand what automations can reach (#3273):

  • New triggers — react when a member joins the workspace, a booking is created, a calendar event is created, a time entry is logged, or an SLA is breached.
  • New actions — create a GitHub issue, add or update a HubSpot contact, update a Google Sheets row, turn text into speech, and enrich data with web research.
  • More filtering on existing triggers — narrow triggers down by board, table, form, or transition.

Automations — Dynamic Values

  • Reference the row that triggered the automation — automations can pull dynamic values from the source row, along with trigger fields, timestamps, comment details, the person who acted, and earlier step outputs. Built-in validation catches typos and incomplete references before the automation runs (#3266).

Ask Copera — Effort Dial & Approval Controls

Ask Copera now tells you what it's about to do and lets you decide how much rope it gets (#3262):

  • Effort dial — choose how much thinking Copera puts into an answer, from quick replies to deep reasoning.
  • Permission modes — keep the default "ask me first" behavior, let Copera act on its own, or restrict it to planning only. Actions that change something are always treated as high-risk and respect your choice.

Dashboards — Every Column Type Now Works

A deep hardening pass across Dashboards (#3271):

  • Chart any column — SLA, voting, checkbox, tracker, and looked-up number columns can now be charted, and "distinct count" works on any column.
  • Better numbers — averages, minimums, maximums, and medians return empty instead of zero when there's nothing to measure; SLA totals render as proper h:mm:ss clocks.
  • More controls — set a goal on summary and gauge widgets, sort chart results, toggle an "Other" bucket, and choose the granularity for date groupings.
  • Smarter AI dashboards — the AI builder now knows exactly which columns can be measured or grouped, checks its own work before finishing, and reports honestly what it changed.

Sign In With a Passkey, Automatically

  • Passkey first — when you have a passkey, two-factor sign-in now starts it for you automatically, with a clean fallback to an authenticator code if you cancel or it fails.

Workspace Admin — Reset a Member's Two-Factor

  • Help a locked-out teammate — workspace admins can reset a member's two-factor setup from the member menu; the member is notified by email in their language.

Bug Fixes

  • Charts — fixed a crash that could occur on chart pages (#3265).
  • Workspace switcher — external members can now switch workspaces from their profile popover (#3268).
  • Faster, more reliable loading — the app now loads its modules up front instead of on demand, removing a class of intermittent "failed to load" errors (#3261).
  • Meeting bots — clearer errors and better recovery when a meeting-recording provider fails.

Improvements

  • Better meeting transcripts — the audio window used for transcription was widened, producing noticeably better transcript quality, and live transcripts now appear immediately even under load (#3267).
  • Cross-origin requests — improved handling of preflight requests, so embedded and third-party integrations connect faster.
