Changelog
What we've been shipping
Every meaningful change to push8, newest first. We're in private beta — expect a few releases per week.
Live executions, webhook URLs & version diffs
v0.26.0 · Jun 10, 2026- Added
Test runner now has a 'Live' mode that polls your n8n instance for real executions of the pushed workflow, lights up nodes green/red as they finish, and surfaces per-node error messages — no more guessing why a run failed.
- Added
Webhook helper appears above the canvas whenever your workflow contains webhook or form-trigger nodes. Copy production AND test URLs in one click, no need to dig through n8n.
- Added
Workflow diff: compare any snapshot to the current draft (or another snapshot) side-by-side. Shows added/removed/modified nodes, parameter changes, and connection deltas.
- Improved
n8n proxy gained execution-detail and activate actions so the app can read per-node run data without leaving the browser.
- Added
Cleaner Explain / Optimise, calmer empty states
v0.25.0 · Jun 5, 2026- Improved
Explain dialog now renders proper markdown with a TL;DR, numbered walk-through, prerequisites and a 'heads up' section — easier to skim and friendlier for non-technical operators.
- Improved
Optimise reviewer rewrites: severity-ranked, concrete fixes tied to actual node ids, with a production-readiness score scale.
- Added
Admin → Models: separate model pickers for Explain and Optimise alongside Chat / Workflow / Reasoning. Each dialog now shows which model generated the output.
- Fixed
Imported n8n workflow JSON now renders on the canvas — positions are normalized so workflows exported with negative or far-off coordinates no longer look empty.
- Fixed
Removed the 'Couldn't load your n8n connection' toast that surfaced on every page mount when users hadn't connected n8n yet.
- Improved
Workflows page: stripped the 'Connect n8n / pick a template / push' onboarding stepper and embedded templates. Empty state now shows just New workflow + Import + Connect n8n.
- Improved
Dropped the Make and Activepieces platform stubs — they weren't wired to real APIs and confused the codebase. n8n only for now.
- Improved
Persistent runs history & cross-device notification prefs
v0.24.0 · Jun 4, 2026- Added
New workflow_runs table records every test simulation and push to n8n with status, duration, node count, and error details.
- Improved
The Runs page now shows your real run history with filters for type (test / push) and status (ok / fail / cancelled), not just a list of pushed workflows.
- Improved
Notification preferences now live in the database (user_notification_prefs) so toggles follow you across browsers and devices instead of being trapped in one localStorage.
- Security
n8n connections remain user-scoped; admin tooling does not expose another user's saved connection details or credentials.
- Added
Power admin: Users panel
v0.23.0 · Jun 4, 2026- Added
New Users tab in /admin: every user with workflows count, monthly usage / limit, and per-user push success / failure rate.
- Added
Filters for joined date, min workflows, min pushes; free-text search by name or id.
- Added
Per-user actions: override monthly workflow limit inline and export the filtered list as CSV.
- Added
Workflow Optimiser
v0.22.0 · Jun 4, 2026- Added
New Optimise button in the workspace — runs an AI review of the current workflow and returns prioritised, categorised suggestions (reliability, performance, cost, security, readability, structure) with severity, rationale, and a concrete fix.
- Added
Overall score and one-sentence verdict at the top of the review.
- Improved
Suggestions reference real node ids — click a node chip to jump straight to it in the graph.
- Added
Per-node & per-branch Explain, deeper analytics
v0.21.0 · Jun 4, 2026- Added
Explain now works at three scopes: whole workflow, single node, and entire branch from a node downstream. New “Explain branch from here” button in the node inspector.
- Improved
Branch explain trims the prompt to just the reachable subgraph — cheaper, faster, and the model stays on topic.
- Added
Analytics events: test_runner_used, node_added, node_removed, and a session_heartbeat ping every 60s while Studio is open — powers an accurate “active right now” count in admin.
- Added
Platform adapter + real node-type validator
v0.20.0 · Jun 4, 2026- Added
New platform adapter layer (n8n today; Make and Activepieces stubbed) so future platforms drop in without touching the editor or validator.
- Improved
Validator now checks node types against the full n8n catalog (~400 types) — not just our internal schema list. Typo'd node strings are flagged; valid-but-unschema'd types pass quietly.
- Added
Static n8n node catalog (n8n-nodes-base + langchain pack) with a runtime-fetch hook for future live sync.
- Added
Workflow folders & client grouping
v0.19.0 · Jun 4, 2026- Added
Group workflows into folders — perfect for agencies running multiple clients. Each folder gets a name and a color tag.
- Added
Filter the workflows page by folder, by Uncategorized, or view All. New workflows created while inside a folder are auto-assigned to it.
- Added
Drag any workflow card onto a folder chip to move it. Or use the new “Move to” submenu in each card's actions.
- Added
Each card now shows its folder badge so you can see grouping at a glance.
- Added
Push notifications & one-click rollback
v0.18.0 · Jun 4, 2026- Added
You now get an email when a push to n8n fails — with the workflow name, exact n8n error, timestamp, and a direct link back to the workflow.
- Added
Opt-in "push succeeded" emails for users who want a paper trail of every push.
- Added
New Notifications section in Settings to toggle push-failure and push-success alerts.
- Added
Versions panel has a new "Restore & Push" button — restore a snapshot and immediately push it back to n8n in one click.
- Added
Import any n8n workflow
v0.17.1 · Jun 4, 2026- Fixed
Importing a workflow exported straight from n8n no longer fails with "missing nodes/edges" — push8 now accepts both its own export format and raw n8n JSON (nodes + connections) and converts on the fly.
- Improved
Import toast now reports node and edge counts so you can sanity-check the conversion at a glance.
- Fixed
Diagnose & defend
v0.17.0 · Jun 3, 2026- Added
Last push outcome is persisted per workflow and surfaced as a "Push failed" pill on the workflows page — no more digging through analytics to find which workflow broke.
- Added
Validator now offers a one-click "Open n8n → Credentials" deep-link whenever an issue mentions credentials, so users land directly where they can fix it.
- Security
/api/ai/explain is now rate-limited per identity (60/min) — protects against runaway Explain loops without affecting normal use.
- Added
Import & portability
v0.16.0 · Jun 3, 2026- Added
Import workflow from JSON — drop in any push8 export (or a hand-edited graph) and it lands as a new draft, ready to push.
- Improved
Round-trip parity: Export → Import produces an identical workflow under a fresh id, so backups and version control just work.
- Added
Manage & protect
v0.15.0 · Jun 3, 2026- Added
Duplicate any workflow with one click — clones the graph under a new id so you can branch experiments without losing the original.
- Added
Export workflow as JSON — download the full graph (nodes, edges, settings) for backup, version control or sharing.
- Security
Per-identity rate limiting on the n8n proxy (30 req/min) — protects against runaway clients and basic abuse without blocking real usage.
- Added
Reliable pushes
v0.14.0 · Jun 3, 2026- Added
Exponential-backoff retries on every n8n push and execution poll — transient 5xx, 429 rate-limits, and network blips are now retried up to 3 times instead of failing the user.
- Improved
Retry-After headers from n8n are honoured (capped at 5s) so we don't hammer instances that are asking us to slow down.
- Improved
Push error messages now include how many attempts were made before giving up.
- Added
Templates-first onboarding
v0.13.0 · Jun 3, 2026- Added
3-step activation wizard on the workflows page — Connect n8n → Pick a template → Push & run. The first step auto-checks for an existing connection and ticks itself green.
- Added
Templates surfaced as the empty-state default, not buried behind a separate page — six battle-tested workflows one click away from being yours.
- Added
Inline Connect-n8n dialog right from the onboarding step, so you never have to leave the page to bind your instance.
- Improved
"Start from a blank canvas" is now a quiet escape hatch rather than the primary CTA — most new users want a working starting point, not an empty graph.
- Added
Know what's actually happening
v0.12.0 · Jun 3, 2026- Added
Self-hosted product analytics — tracks workflow_generated, workflow_pushed, push_failed, run_succeeded/failed, connection_saved, explain_used and validator_blocked_push.
- Added
Admin → Analytics tab with 30-day event counts and a recent-events stream so we can see drop-off without shipping data to a 3rd party.
- Security
Events are RLS-scoped — users only see (and write) their own; only admins read the aggregate.
- Added
Trust & transparency
v0.11.0 · Jun 3, 2026- Added
Public /security page — exactly how your n8n key is encrypted, what we store, what we don't log, and how to report a vulnerability.
- Added
Inline "your key is safe" note in the Connect dialog so the reassurance lives where the worry happens.
- Added
Last-4 key hint (•••• xxxx) in the Connect dialog and Connections page so you can recognise which key is bound — without ever exposing the secret.
- Added
Security link in the landing footer.
- Added
Smarter validator + Explain
v0.10.0 · Jun 3, 2026- Added
Schema-aware validator — flags unknown node types, missing required parameters (URL, path, jsCode…), missing credentials, every-second schedule triggers, and AI Agents missing a chat model.
- Added
"Explain this workflow" and "Explain this node" — one-tap plain-English explanation for any workflow or selected node, powered by the same AI model.
- Improved
Explanations don't consume your monthly workflow credit — only generation does.
- Added
Trust the first run
v0.9.0 · Jun 3, 2026- Added
Pre-push safety checks — push is blocked when the validator finds errors so broken workflows never reach n8n.
- Added
Execution feedback after push — we poll your n8n /executions endpoint and surface whether the first run succeeded or failed, right in the studio.
- Added
Plain-English status messages instead of raw n8n payloads when a push or run fails.
- Added
Public /changelog page — everything we've shipped since day one, in one place.
- Added
Better chat, smarter studio
v0.8.0 · May 30, 2026- Improved
Chat flow now thinks → builds → summarises what it changed, with selectable option chips when info is needed (no more bombarding you with one question at a time).
- Improved
Studio editor now opens YOUR last workflow instead of demo samples.
- Improved
Empty state for workflows uses the cleaner grid layout you preferred.
- Fixed
Selecting a question chip no longer dumps it as a chat message; it answers in place.
- Improved
Push to n8n, end-to-end
v0.7.0 · May 26, 2026- Added
"Push to n8n" button — creates or updates the workflow in your own instance with one click.
- Added
Workflow ID tracking so subsequent pushes UPDATE the same workflow instead of duplicating it.
- Added
Server-side proxy: your n8n API key never leaves the server, the browser only sends the workflow JSON.
- Improved
Sanitised publish payload — only name/nodes/connections/settings are forwarded, matching n8n's strict schema.
- Added
Versions, share & templates
v0.6.0 · May 24, 2026- Added
Versions panel — every meaningful change is snapshotted and one-click restorable.
- Added
Share dialog with an encoded link so you can hand a draft to a teammate.
- Added
Templates dialog — start from a curated workflow instead of a blank canvas.
- Added
Keyboard shortcuts dialog (press ?).
- Added
Validator + test runner
v0.5.0 · May 20, 2026- Added
Validator panel — flags missing triggers, duplicate names, orphans, unreachable nodes, cycles, and missing credentials before you push.
- Added
Simulated test runner with per-node status, cancel, and a streamed log.
- Added
Node inspector + drag-and-drop palette with parameter editing.
- Improved
JSON view highlights credential placeholders so you can spot them at a glance.
- Added
Connect your n8n
v0.4.0 · May 15, 2026- Added
Connect-n8n dialog with live credential test before saving.
- Security
AES-GCM encryption of API keys at rest using a server-side secret; ciphertext only in the database, RLS-scoped per user.
- Added
Connections page so you can see what's bound and disconnect any time.
- Added
Conversational workflow studio
v0.3.0 · May 10, 2026- Added
Chat-driven workflow generation backed by the Lovable AI Gateway (no separate API key to manage).
- Added
Visual workflow graph with draggable nodes, edge drawing, and live JSON preview.
- Added
Per-user threads & workflow persistence — every chat keeps its own draft.
- Added
Upload Postman / OpenAPI specs and turn endpoints into HTTP Request nodes automatically.
- Added
Auth, waitlist & admin
v0.2.0 · May 2, 2026- Added
Email + Google sign-in via Lovable Cloud.
- Added
Public waitlist with admin approval flow.
- Added
Transactional emails: new-waitlist notification to admins, approval email to users when they're let in.
- Added
Admin dashboard for waitlist review, role management, and basic usage.
- Added
Push8 lands
v0.1.0 · Apr 25, 2026- Added
Landing page — describe it, build it, push it.
