New release of iPhora Automate Now Available
We are pleased to announce that the latest release of iPhora Automate, our no-code user-driven automation platform. This release (2025091002) brings a new iPhora user experience with significant improvements in capabilities and features, along with faster performance. It also provides business users and other citizen developers with more capabilities for designing and automating their processes. Unlike other solutions, iPhora Automate is built from the ground up as a scalable business automation platform.
iPhora Automate applies a layered approach to process automation. For solutions that need the support of application developers, iPhora Automate provides new enhancements to the PhoraScript language and improvements in creating custom web service connectors. There are now more extension points in the architecture, which allow application developers to utilize PhoraScript in forms, ActionStreams and processes to better address the complex functionality required by some processes.
The initial loading time has been reduced by 30% to provide not only faster response but better performance.
The following improvements and new features include:
