Streamlined Tool Creation & Platform Stability

Nested Step Outputs

Beam flows now provide enhanced visibility and control over structured data outputs, making it easier to work with complex, hierarchical data throughout your flows. You can now see and link to nested values, enforce data types, and handle errors more gracefully—improving both reliability and debugging capabilities.

  • Advanced Data Visualization

View nested JSON data with expandable viewers that support multiple levels of hierarchy.

  • Dynamic Variable Linking

Link variables from hierarchical output structures with preserved values from past executions. Dropdown menus now reflect the full nested structure, allowing you to connect both top-level and deeply nested values to downstream nodes.

  • Advanced Error Handling

Configure step level error behavior with options to stop execution or continue with error as structured output. This enables conditional branching based on error states and more resilient workflow design.

Tool Generation UX

Tool creation is now more transparent and user-controlled, reducing confusion and workflow interruption. You maintain full control over when and how tools are generated, with clear visibility into the generation process.

  • Explicit Tool Selection Control

Choose how you want to add tools to your agent flow:

  1. Generate Tool (AI-powered creation)

  2. Match Tool (search existing tools)

  3. Choose Manually (browse and select).

  • Progress Transparency

Watch real-time progress indicators during tool generation, showing each stage. Error messages include specific step context for easier troubleshooting.

  • Empty Tool Creation

Start with an empty tool and write your own custom prompt and variables, allowing you more control over your agent.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issue where invited workspace links showed prolonged "validating access" before incorrectly showing request access page

  • Resolved blank screen issue when accessing workspace URL without membership

  • Fixed copy-paste workspace URL returning 404 for existing members

  • Corrected input field clearing when tool details modal opened accidentally

  • Fixed duplicate steps appearing after auto-rerun failures in tasks

  • Resolved issue where evaluations not appearing in Analytics → Evaluation Score History graph

  • Fixed evaluation criteria sync between flow page and analytics page

  • Corrected form fields auto-deleting user input in task sidebar

  • Fixed query parameters failing in task execution but working in test tool

Improvements

  • Renamed "Actions" to "Tools" across integration modals for consistent terminology

  • Added background blur to publish banner for improved visual focus

  • Updated tools count display to show breakdown: Custom integrations, Custom prompt, Created by Beam

  • Implemented dynamic category filters for agent templates and integrations

  • Enhanced workspace switching to update without full page reload

  • Improved error logging with comprehensive Bugsnag integration across platform

  • Disabled "Create Task" when no published flow exists with clear tooltip messaging

  • Updated Area chart to display total count in stack for better data visualization

Optimizations

  • Enhanced unit test coverage with Claude agent for automated test generation

  • Improved Claude code review to only require changes on critical and high priority feedback

  • Added VPN access configuration for beam admin across environments

  • Optimized workspace selection and synchronization with improved cookie handling

  • Added environment variables for S3 and Azure storage across all environments
