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.

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.
