Nexla now automatically archives flows inactive for 60+ days to optimize platform performance and resource allocation.

What's New

Flows that have had no data processing activity for 60+ days will be automatically moved to an Archived state.

• Archived flows remain visible in the UI and retain their full configuration (sources, transforms, destinations, mappings)
• Flow state is preserved, so restored flows can resume normal operation immediately 
• While archived, the underlying runtime resources are cleaned up, meaning the flow will not consume compute or infrastructure
• Archived flows display with a clear "Archived" badge in the flow list

Archival Criteria

• Any flow that processes records within the 60-day interval will not be archived. This  also includes scheduled flows (quarterly, bi-annual, or annual runs) and any flows with intermittent but active data processing
• No data or configuration is deleted as part of this process
• All historical run data and logs remain accessible

Restoring Archived Flows

Flows can be restored through the Nexla UI or automatically via API:

1. Manual Restoration using Nexla UI:

1. Navigate to your Flows page
2. Locate the flow marked with "Archived" badge
3. Click the flow's menu (•••) and select "Restore Flow"
4. The flow returns to active state with all configurations intact

2. Automatic Restoration using Nexla API: Archived flows are automatically restored when flow or source activation calls are executed programmatically.

This change reduces unnecessary background activity, improves system reliability, and ensures resources are focused on active workloads—without impacting user ability to resume work when needed.

We've completely redesigned how you configure file connectors, making it faster and more intuitive to set up sources from S3, Google Drive, Azure, and other file systems.

This redesign addresses feedback we heard from users struggling with deeply nested folder structures and unclear configuration options. Setting up file sources with complex filtering requirements is now significantly faster.

What's improved

New folder browser Navigate large directory structures with a breadcrumb-style browser that replaces the old tree view. Use search, direct path input, or click through columns to find folders quickly.

All configuration in one place File filters (date-based, whitelist/blacklist patterns) have moved from the sidebar into the main flow. Everything you need is visible at once.

Coming Soon: We're working on intelligent guidance for whitelist/blacklist path patterns to help you configure file filters with confidence.

File Upload sources now support two powerful new capabilities: previewing files before upload and uploading multiple files at once.

What's new

Preview files before uploading You can now see your files in their native format—Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, CSVs—before uploading them. This helps you confirm you're uploading the right files and understand their structure before processing begins.

Multi-file upload You can now upload multiple files in a single action, both when creating a new source and from the source detail tab.

Refreshed upload interface The upload screen features a cleaner layout that makes it easier to select files, preview them, and configure settings.

These new capabilities are part of our ongoing effort to make file-based workflows more powerful and transparent, and we'd love to hear your feedback as we continue improving the experience.

We've rebuilt how the Flow Canvas handles complex workflows. As flows have grown more sophisticated with linked flows, multi-branch logic, and orchestrated dependencies, we've reimagined how these relationships are displayed to make navigation more intuitive.

The canvas has been rebuilt from the ground up, with new layouts for linked flows, improved spacing for multi-branch flows, and dozens of smaller refinements.

Highlights

Full screen flow view with instant navigation Open any flow in full screen, then toggle back to your flow list with a single click for seamless navigation between views.

More compact linked flow display Related and orchestrated flows now stack vertically in a clean list. Click to expand any relationship when you need details—everything else stays compact and organized.

Clearer multi-branch flow layouts Complex flows with multiple branches now center the source with branches radiating outward. The improved spacing makes it easier to follow flow logic at a glance.

This sets the stage for more canvas improvements coming in future releases.

We've completely redesigned Flow Logs to make debugging and monitoring flows faster and more intuitive. Previously, getting to logs required multiple clicks, and navigating between runs was cumbersome. The new experience provides immediate access to logs and makes it easy to troubleshoot issues.

What's improved

One-click access to logs Flow logs are now accessible directly from the flow list view with an "Explore Flow Logs" button, showing you the latest logs immediately without extra navigation.

Easy navigation between runs Switch between different flow runs with a dropdown selector that shows all recent runs with their timestamps. No more hunting through history to find the run you need.

Smart filtering and sorting Filter logs by severity (error, warning, info) to quickly find issues. Sort chronologically or reverse-chronologically—newest logs appear at the top by default so you always see the latest activity.

Better log formatting Click any log line to see better-formatted content that's easier to read and copy.

The new splitter operational node now available in Nexla enables sophisticated data flow branching by filtering source data based on specified criteria and routing the filtered data into multiple downstream flow branches, each tailored to specific data subsets.

Splitter nodes represent a powerful addition to Nexla's operational flow nodes, allowing users to create complex data routing architectures from a single source. Instead of processing all data through identical downstream flows, users can now intelligently branch data pipelines to create specialized processing paths based on data characteristics—enabling more targeted and efficient data operations across diverse use cases.

🔷 Here's how Splitter nodes enhance your data flow architecture:

• Intelligent data flow branching
  Create multiple downstream data flows from a single source, with each branch receiving only the data that matches its specific filter criteria, enabling targeted processing for different data subsets.
• Criteria-based filtering and routing
  Define sophisticated filtering logic to automatically sort and route data into multiple downstream Nexsets, ensuring each branch processes only the data relevant to its specific purpose.
• Schema consistency across branches
  Each downstream Nexset generated by a splitter node maintains the same schema as the source Nexset, ensuring data structure consistency while enabling specialized processing logic for different data subsets.
• Built-in validation and security
  Automatic validations ensure data is correctly routed to appropriate downstream flows while maintaining all applied data access controls throughout the branching process.

This operational node significantly expands your data architecture possibilities, enabling the creation of sophisticated multi-path data processing workflows that can handle diverse data routing scenarios while maintaining data integrity and security across all branches.
