Let’s take a look at the highlights in this release.
API Management
The API Control Plane now enables users to easily generate and edit API documentation based on the API’s specification. You can generate a detailed technical overview, a shorter technical summary, and/or a business overview that focuses on use cases and value to drive adoption. Documentation can be generated in Markdown or Rich Text, edited by the user, and even combined to address both technical and business considerations. This feature leverages our new API Documentation Agent and produces high quality content that is both human-readable and machine-readable in your Developer Portal for discovery and evaluation by API consumers or AI agents.
Boomi AI
The new API Documentation Agent, as mentioned in the API Management section above, leverages AI to simplify the creation of consistent and comprehensive documentation from your OpenAPI specs, reducing hours of manual documentation time and promoting consistency across API content.
Additionally, we’ve enhanced Boomi Scribe to include a list of defined process extensions for your connection settings. This extension information is available in a table form in the existing Boomi GPT and process canvas documentation.
Connectivity
We’ve rolled out key improvements and fixes across multiple connectors to enhance performance, security, and usability.
- Database v2 Connector: We have optimized performance for all operations across Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MSSQL databases. Users can now modify tracking direction for operations, allowing greater control over tracking input and output documents in Process Reporting.
- HubSpot CRM (Tech Preview) Connector: We have added support for Goals, Deals, and Tickets objects. We have also improved error handling with a more robust retry mechanism.
- Kafka Connector: We have added OAuth 2.0 authentication for Confluent using Client Credentials grant type. Users can now dynamically override topic names in PRODUCE, CONSUME, and COMMIT OFFSET operations.
- NetSuite Connector: We have removed legacy 2017.1 and 2017.2 endpoints and introduced support for 2024.1 and 2024.2 endpoints.
- Veeva Connector: We have introduced support for custom request and response headers and enhanced logging capabilities.

Event Streams
The Event Streams REST API now supports direct message, allowing producers to send messages in their original formats (e.g., plain text, XML, JSON) without requiring data transformation. This update simplifies integration, reduces overhead, and meets the diverse needs of customers while still supporting the existing strict JSON format for those leveraging message properties and planned enhancements.
- Direct Message Support: Send messages in original formats without transformation.
- Continued JSON Format Support: Maintains support for strict JSON format, allowing for message properties and future enhancements.
- Simplified Integration: Reduces overhead and improves efficiency for clients with existing message formats.
Flow
This release introduces two new features in Boomi Flow that will enhance your experience: the Data Grid Component and the Open API Connector with Open API Map Element.
Data Grid Component is designed to simplify data management within your applications. Key features include:
- Search, Sort, Resize, and Reorder Columns
- Ability to export in CSV format
- Editable Cells
- Pin Columns: Keep important columns visible by pinning them to the left during design time
- Customizable Cells: Enhance your data presentation with custom components tailored to your needs
The Open API Connector, along with the new Open API Map Element, delivers seamless connectivity and improved management for your API integrations. Key features include:
- Flexible Authentication Options: Use Basic, OAuth2, or OIDC authentication.
- Enhanced Configuration Experience: Includes the ability to use a code type as a schema value and more.
- Improved Data Management: Benefit from enhanced sorting, filtering, and searching capabilities for large data sets, making data retrieval more efficient.
- A new Open API Map Element that streamlines the handling of multiple OpenAPI requests, reducing repetitive configurations and boosting overall efficiency.
Task Automation
Our no-code Task Automation product was officially launched on February 4th! This tool is crafted to enhance your workflows and increase productivity by effortlessly automating repetitive tasks.

Integration
In this release we introduce the Branch Read and Write privilege to strengthen access control within the Branch and Merge feature. This privilege allows account administrators to prevent users from merging to the main branch while still permitting merges between non-main branches and modifications to components on all branches except the main branch.
We’ve also updated the Component Object, Component Metadata, and Component Reference Object APIs to align with this new privilege. Users with Branch Read and Write access can interact with the Component Object and Component Metadata on any branch except the main branch, while the Component Reference Object remains accessible across all branches, including the main branch.
In addition to these, we’ve introduced four new APIs: PublisherIntegrationPack, AccountGroupIntegrationPack, ReleaseIntegrationPack, and ReleaseIntegrationPackStatus, to create, manage, and maintain integration packs programmatically. The AccountGroup object has been enhanced to retrieve resource information for each account group, enabling greater visibility into account group details.
Integration Runtime
Dedicated Cloud Service (coming soon)
Our new Dedicated Cloud Service is almost here! With dedicated clouds, customers can take advantage of higher processing limits, single-tenancy isolation, and VPN connectivity to local applications while leaving the runtime hosting and maintenance responsibilities to Boomi. For complete details on this offering, look for the official announcement coming soon.
Runtime Renaming
Boomi is updating the terminology of some of its services to be more intuitive, better align with common industry concepts, and provide clarity for evolving product functionality. Most notably we are moving away from the terms “Atom” and “Molecule” to the more intuitive term “runtime.”
You will start to see the new terminology with the March release in the Boomi platform user interface and help guide, followed by updates to training, community, and other assets over time. Learn more.
Runtime Restart API
You can now programmatically trigger a restart of your runtimes via the Platform API to assist with runtime maintenance and configuration automations.
See developer.boomi.com for details.
Boomi DataHub
This release includes new DataHub features focusing on strengthening data governance, expanding API functionalities, and improving platform stability.
Granular Access Control for Command Center (Limited Availability):
Data governance takes center stage with the introduction of the new MDM Command Center Explorer role. This role provides controlled access to the Command Center, ensuring that only authorized users can view and manage sensitive golden record data. This enhancement allows for more precise permission management, aligning with best practices for data security and compliance. Administrators can easily assign this new role to users via Settings > Account Information > User Management. Please note that the Command Center remains in Limited Availability. We are working closely with early adopters and will announce general availability soon.
Enhanced API Capabilities With Reference Titles:
We’ve enriched the DataHub API with the new includeReferenceTitle query parameter. This parameter, available for the Query Golden Records, Get Golden Record, and Get Golden Record History API endpoints, allows you to retrieve the record title for reference fields. By setting this parameter to true, the API response will include a recordTitle attribute for relevant reference fields, providing richer business context and simplifying data relationships.
Improved Data Integrity With Collection Item Limits:
This release introduces limits on the number of collection items within a record to ensure data integrity and system stability. DataHub will now quarantine any entity that attempts to create or update a record exceeding this limit. This proactive measure prevents runaway data growth and protects the system from performance issues. We are implementing this limit gradually, and we encourage you to contact Boomi Support if you encounter any issues with quarantined records.
Enhanced DataHub Connector Stability:
The DataHub Connector’s Fetch Channel Updates operation has been improved to gracefully handle scenarios where there are no updates to fetch, preventing unexpected errors. Existing processes that rely on receiving an empty document when no updates are available may require adjustments to accommodate this change in behavior.
Security
Security remains a top focus for this year. We are excited to announce more editions to the secrets manager and the audit log API. This release includes :
Azure Key Vault for secrets manager: We are excited to announce another addition to our secrets manager offering. Boomi Secrets Management service now supports Azure Key Vault to manage your secrets.
Reason for Action added to audit logs to help account administrators track changes in the platform configurations. When this feature is enabled, users on an account will have to provide a reason when they perform actions related to User Management, Roles, and Privileges actions, such as adding a custom role or deleting a user.
B2B/EDI
In this release, the MLLP server has been enhanced to support client intermediate certificates. With this enhancement, certificate management overhead should be greatly improved due to the longer expiration dates typically offered by intermediate certificates.
