🚀 What's new?

• When editing teams, we added some filtering controls to only show selected users. This should speed up management for teams with large amounts of people!
• Viewers have a clearer experience on their permissions in the Changes view.
• We added some onboarding videos and instructions for all users. For our users that know the app, you can hide this view after the update.
• Tags should be easier to quickly edit and manage in the Tags page under Workspace Settings

🐛 Bug fixes

• text color for skipped badges weren't very readable
• Inviting users for accounts with legacy permissions should be available again
• Go to file option in right click takes the user to the folder properly
• Recheck pushes to make sure they are cleared

🔭 What's next?

• We have started internal testing with local plugins! We are super excited to get these out in the hands of the our community so teams can start building tools with Mudstack.
• New support for linking files and folders to people outside of Mudstack. This will be perfect for sharing content for approval or single time recipients of files without needing them to create a Mudstack profile.
• The AI Agent in the Mudstack app is now being internally tested!

We have a big release today! 3 large features have been added to the app, along with some smaller fixes and improvements. Let's dive into the big stuff.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 What are Teams?

Teams are a new and better way to manage large amounts of users as groups. These groups can have configurable access to workspaces, so you can fine tune a set of users access to multiple workspaces, or quickly give or remove access from large sets of content in a few clicks.

How do I migrate my account to teams?

In your Account Settings -> Members page, you'll see a new button, Enable Team Based Permissions.

Mudstack will migrate your current account and workspace roles to the new teams system. We'll automatically create teams based on workspaces & workspace access.

Once migrated, you'll see a new page in account settings called Teams where you can edit the newly created teams.

🕸️ Webhooks is now available!

You can now create and manage your own workspaces within the application. You manage your webhooks in the Workspace Settings -> Webhooks page.

To get started with Webhooks...

• Create your webhook in the app and provide us a destination URL & headers of where you would like the events to go.
• Filter specific events sent through the webhook.
• Configure your destination to accept the payloads and transform the data. You can use intermediary apps like Zapier, or internal automation tools, like Jira’s automation tool.
• You can combine a webhook with API calls in the automation tools to enrich the webhook payloads with more relevant data.
• Test and go live!

For more info on best practices and some examples for webhook uses, check out our documentation on how to get webhooks set up in your workspaces.

Send us a message if you want us to track any other events from Mudstack!

💽 Our MCP Server is live!

You can now use LLMs to talk with Mudstack's cloud API. The access is based on your user permissions. Our documentation has instructions on how to set this up with different LLMs.

If you want us to add more tools to our MCP, let us know, here is what we currently support!
