It’s another exciting year with Alumio evolving as a next-gen integration platform (iPaaS) that's helping businesses across industries “make integrations simple”. However, going beyond “simple integrations” our ever-increasing platform offerings help business users, developers, agencies, system integrators, and software providers — build, automate, transform, and orchestrate so much more. So, before we dive into 2025, where we plan to deliver a whole new host of product enhancements, let’s look at all the big new iPaaS features we introduced in 2024 — in retrospect.

Explore all the new iPaaS features we introduced in 2024

Improved UI Design

Since first impressions are the ones that last, let’s first start by showing off how much we’ve improved the Alumio user interface. Our new platform design is cleaner, more intuitive, and user-friendly for both developers and non-technical users. We’re sure that this ongoing redesign of our platform will help make integrations even more simple with Alumio. While we have many more exciting design updates in the pipeline, here's a glimpse at the new look and style of our platform that we introduced last year.

Code Transformer

As a cloud-native, low-code integration platform that’s designed to make integrations simple — especially for developers and system integrators, the Code Transformer was one of our most exciting feature introductions in 2024. This powerful Transformer allows integrators to write smart lines of JavaScript within their integration workflows, allowing them to add custom data transformations and to solve complex edge-cases. This way, while our platform helps you avoid the hassles of writing custom code for almost everything else when developing and modifying your integrations, it now also allows you to flexibly write code when it’s the more efficient option.

Inspection tool

Debugging and optimizing data Transformers within Alumio is now more efficient with our new Inspection Tool. When building Routes and applying Transformers to enable integrations, users can focus on specific parts of a Transformer, view inputs and outputs side by side, and test individual steps without running the entire Transformer. Autocomplete options for placeholders based on input data further enhance its usability.

AI scheduler generator

The Alumio Scheduler is one of the key features in setting up your integrations in Alumio, ensuring you schedule your integrations in a way that maximizes time and process efficiency. In that spirit, we added an AI Scheduler Generator that allows you to swiftly generate “Cron expressions” by typing a natural language request. This innovation simplifies task automation and makes it easy for users of all technical levels to schedule integrations.

Data Engines and parallel processing of Routes

One of the most exciting Alumio features of 2024 was enabling our users with the ability to process Routes in parallel with Alumio Data Engines. The more Data Engines an Alumio integration environment equips, the more integration Routes it can run in parallel through our advanced queuing mechanism. This offers a great performance advantage to customers that need to manage a mix of real-time integrations that run constantly between applications, along with high-volume data integrations that occur in batches at scheduled intervals. The base Alumio plan now offers two Data Engines, allowing users to run at least two Routes in parallel through the integration queue. However, users can also add-on as many Data Engines to their plan as required, to scale up their integrations while ensuring peak performance.

Copy/Paste configurations

We’ve introduced a Copy/Paste feature. Users can now duplicate existing configurations and reuse them elsewhere in the platform, drastically reducing integration setup time and minimizing manual errors. This enhancement streamlines workflows and empowers users to focus on innovating with their integrations instead of engaging in repetitive tasks.

Alumio status page

Transparency and reliability are at the core of Alumio's services. The newly launched “Status” page provides real-time updates on the uptime of Alumio services. Accessible via “Alumio Status,” users can track service health and subscribe to notifications for any disruptions, ensuring smooth operations and quick resolutions.

New error Transformer

Our new “Error” Transformer is another pivotal addition to the Alumio iPaaS, providing real-time notifications when errors occur in the Transformer chain. This feature prevents unnoticed task failures, ensuring robust and reliable integration workflows. The Error Transformer can be used to manually interrupt a route when certain conditions are met. This is useful when combined with our Conditional Transformer, for example, when the data contains certain values or when certain data is absent or otherwise invalid.

Enhanced Conditional Transformers

With the ability to support multiple conditions in the “ELSE/IF” part of Conditional Transformers, users can now add value comparisons for different keys. This improvement enables more granular decision-making and dynamic data Transformations.

Supporting Multipart/Form-Data with binary data

To meet modern integration demands, Alumio now supports multipart/form-data with binary data within our Transformers. This functionality simplifies handling complex data structures, such as file uploads combined with request parameters, making it indispensable for APIs in e-commerce and healthcare industries.

Client Assertion Authentication (JWT Token)

Alumio now also supports Client Assertion authentication using JWT tokens. This enhancement enables secure connectivity with integrations requiring this method or a combination with OAuth2 authentication, expanding compatibility and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Request URI Encoder

We now support the “Request URI encoder” option for Subscribers, and pagination addresses challenges related to special character encoding. This feature ensures error-free URL formatting when interacting with external APIs.

Character Transliteration Mapper

To tackle inconsistent character sets, we introduced an Alumio mapper that converts accented and special characters into standard transliterations. For instance, “é/ë/ê/è” converts to “e,” and “á/ä/â” converts to “a.” This functionality is vital for businesses managing multilingual data.

Export all configurations

Managing configurations with the Alumio iPaaS is now more efficient with our new “Export all configurations” functionality. Accessible under Settings > Import/Export, this feature allows users to export all configurations at once, simplifying backups, migrations, and audits.

New Task status: waiting

We’ve added a “Waiting” status for Tasks. This status provides transparency, helping users track Task progress and determine whether it’s finished or failed, enhancing workflow management.

Document Type Definitions (DTD) for cXML

For businesses using cXML, Alumio now includes Document Type Definitions (DTD) when selecting the "cXML" option. This addition simplifies creating Routes for sending invoices and other documents, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Manual Route priority setting

Users can now manually set priorities for Routes and incoming configurations. This capability ensures that critical data integrations are processed first, aligning with business needs and minimizing delays in essential operations.

New Connectors that the Alumio iPaaS now supports

2024 saw a significant expansion of our Connector library. Some of the many 64+ Connectors that the Alumio iPaaS now provides support for includes:

  • AI and automation tools: MistralAI, Claude by Anthropic, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and SendGrid connectors enable seamless integration with advanced AI and automation platforms.
  • E-commerce solutions: New Connectors like WICS WMS, Jumpseller, and BigCartel cater to diverse e-commerce needs, from inventory management to storefront integration.
  • Productivity platforms: Updated Connectors for ClickUp, Aha!, and Microsoft Teams streamline collaboration and project management.

These additions make Alumio more versatile, allowing businesses to connect with a broader range of technologies seamlessly.

Why 2024 was Transformative for the Alumio iPaaS

This year’s updates continue to reflect Alumio’s dedication to constantly expand the scope and possibilities of integrations, automation, and transformation that businesses can orchestrate with our iPaaS. Looking at 2025, we’re excited to build on these achievements and explore entirely new ways of helping businesses accelerate their digital transformation efforts. As mentioned at the start, while the Alumio integration platform is designed to help seasoned developers and business leaders make integrations simple, it’s designed to help buildmore than simple integrations. Our vision for Alumio is to make it a cornerstone technology that enables business automation, flexible data synchronization, and future-proof digital synergy.
