In this release, we have completely re-vamped our in-app billing system! Now it's easier than ever to see your historic invoices, update your subscription on the fly, or even upgrade your plan. You can also have absolute confidence in your monthly spend, with new features to highlight active paid addons and provide up-front previews of proration charges for any subscription change. Please note that these changes do not affect Enterprise customers who are not billed in-app.

Feature Spotlight: Workflow Loop Connector

Get ready to take your Workflows to the next level! With the addition of loops, you can now perform complex tasks like update all linked Assets to a Request/Job or process every value in a multi-select form control. This marks a major milestone in our journey to unlocking the full automation potential for every organization in Gruntify.
