Waiting Nodes + Platform Improvements

Waiting Nodes

Beam can now pause and wait for external events. This feature adds the ability to add "Wait" steps within agent flows, enabling asynchronous workflows that respond to external triggers.

  • Wait for external events before continuing workflow execution

  • Configure timeout and fallback behaviors

  • Support for webhook-based resume triggers

Improvements

  • Platform images load significantly faster across all pages

  • Empty agents list in sidebar now shows a "Create Agent" button to get started quickly

  • Logging out and back in now returns you to the correct workspace

  • Pasting a prompt from one step to another now correctly shows variable names instead of raw IDs

  • Test tool now correctly pre-fills all inputs when parameters are linked to variables

  • Copying step outputs no longer wraps values in extra quotes

  • Timer triggers now fire at their scheduled time

  • Exporting agents from staging and importing to production now works correctly

  • Input variables panel now opens by default when editing a prompt step

  • Prompt editor now focuses automatically when a validation error appears

  • View-only flows no longer allow connections to be deleted

  • Renaming an input variable in a tool now updates all references in the step configuration

  • API-triggered tasks in enterprise queues no longer experience 15–20 minute delays
