We've launched a library of 40+ pre-built workflow templates across marketing, operations, HR, and finance.Instead of starting from scratch, teams can now browse templates, preview how they work, and deploy them to their workspace in a single click.Templates are fully customizable after deployment. Swap out any step, add conditions, or connect additional tools to make it your own.New templates will be added every month based on community requests. Have a workflow you'd love to see? Let us know.

Violet now sends real-time alerts via email, Slack, or in-app notification whenever a workflow encounters an issue.

You can configure alert thresholds per workflow and choose exactly who on your team gets notified. For critical automations, you can also set escalation rules so nothing slips through.

Webhook-based alerts are also available for teams who want to pipe notifications into their own systems:

POST https://hooks.yourapp.com/violet-alerts
{
  "workflow_id": "wf_8843",
  "status": "failed",
  "timestamp": "2025-02-14T09:32:11Z",
  "message": "Step 3 timed out after 30s"
}

POST https://hooks.yourapp.com/violet-alerts
{
  "workflow_id": "wf_8843",
  "status": "failed",
  "timestamp": "2025-02-14T09:32:11Z",
  "message": "Step 3 timed out after 30s"
}

POST https://hooks.yourapp.com/violet-alerts
{
  "workflow_id": "wf_8843",
  "status": "failed",
  "timestamp": "2025-02-14T09:32:11Z",
  "message": "Step 3 timed out after 30s"
}

This update also ships with an improved workflow status dashboard — a live view of everything running in your workspace.

Teams on Pro and Enterprise plans can now assign roles to workspace members with granular permission controls.

Admins can define exactly what each role can access — from viewing workflow results to editing live automations. No more worrying about someone accidentally breaking a critical workflow.

Roles can be assigned programmatically via our API:

PATCH /v1/workspace/members/{member_id}
{
  "role": "editor",
  "permissions": ["view", "edit", "run"]
}

PATCH /v1/workspace/members/{member_id}
{
  "role": "editor",
  "permissions": ["view", "edit", "run"]
}

PATCH /v1/workspace/members/{member_id}
{
  "role": "editor",
  "permissions": ["view", "edit", "run"]
}

This update also introduces a full audit log — a complete history of every change made across your workspace, who made it, and when.

Violet now natively integrates with the full Google Workspace suite. This has been our most requested integration and we're glad to finally ship it.

You can trigger workflows from incoming emails, automatically update spreadsheets with workflow outputs, create calendar events, and manage Drive files — all without leaving Violet.

Here's a simple example of a trigger that fires when a new email matches a label:

trigger:
  type: gmail.new_email
  filter:
    label: "inbound-leads"
actions:
  - type: sheets.append_row
    sheet_id: "1BxiM..."
    values: ["{{email.sender}}", "{{email.subject}}", "{{date.today}}"]
  - type: slack.send_message
    channel: "#sales"
    message: "New lead from {{email.sender}}"

trigger:
  type: gmail.new_email
  filter:
    label: "inbound-leads"
actions:
  - type: sheets.append_row
    sheet_id: "1BxiM..."
    values: ["{{email.sender}}", "{{email.subject}}", "{{date.today}}"]
  - type: slack.send_message
    channel: "#sales"
    message: "New lead from {{email.sender}}"

trigger:
  type: gmail.new_email
  filter:
    label: "inbound-leads"
actions:
  - type: sheets.append_row
    sheet_id: "1BxiM..."
    values: ["{{email.sender}}", "{{email.subject}}", "{{date.today}}"]
  - type: slack.send_message
    channel: "#sales"
    message: "New lead from {{email.sender}}"

Additional Google Workspace features will continue rolling out over the coming weeks.

After months of building, testing, and refining with our early access community — Violet is officially live.

Version 1.0 ships with the core workflow builder, 60+ integrations, AI task automation, and real-time monitoring.

A huge thank you to the 500+ teams who joined us during the beta. Your feedback shaped nearly every decision we made.

This is just the beginning. We have a long roadmap ahead and we're building it in the open — changelogs, updates, and all. Glad you're here.
