Appmixer 6.4: Two ways for your users to automate, one AI Automation Hub

We've been heads-down on what comes next for embedded AI automation. Appmixer 6.4 is here, and it reshapes how your end users discover, build, and manage automations inside your product.

The headline feature is a brand-new AI Automation Hub — a single embeddable UI widget that gives your users two ways to automate: activate a pre-built template through a guided wizard, or open the visual builder to customize a template or build their own from scratch. On top of that, we're shipping User Groups & Workspaces for team collaboration, updates to running integrations, redesigned execution-based logs, a refreshed Studio UI, and meaningful improvements to the engine.

🎥 Watch Matous, our Head of Product, walk through everything new in 6.4 — plus a sneak peek at what's coming next. 🔥

💡 In this blog post, we cover the highlights of Appmixer 6.4. For the complete list — including API, SDK, and engine changes — read the full changelog.

AI Automation Hub

The Automation Hub is a completely new embeddable widget — and the biggest update in 6.4. It's a one-stop shop where your end users can browse, run, customize, and manage automations, all in one place.

🪄 Two ways for your users to automate

Until now, embedded automation has typically meant choosing between pre-built templates (easy but rigid) or a full visual builder (flexible but intimidating for non-technical users). 6.4 lets you offer both — or either — through the same widget, across two paths:

The guided wizard — for users who want to get running fast:

  • Activate pre-built templates: Your users click a tile, fill in the missing fields, and they're live.

The visual builder — for users who want more control:

  • Customize a template: Open a template inside the visual editor to tweak the underlying flow — without starting from scratch.
  • Build from scratch: Or give users the Create my own button and let them build whatever they need.

You decide what level of freedom your users get.

‍

đź“‚ Categories and tabs

Organize your automations into categories that show up as tabs in the Hub. Manage them through the new Categories API or directly in the Studio's Hub Settings — and use them to filter what each user segment sees.

🎨 Customization and live preview

A new Hub Settings page in the Studio gathers everything in one place: header and subheader visibility, default layout, theme options, and customization permissions. Hit Open Preview to see your changes instantly before you ship them.

‍

đź”— Shareable links with email allow lists

Want to let your team or a prospect explore your Hub without giving them an Appmixer Studio account? Share a secure link protected by OTP authentication and an email allow list — including regex patterns and wildcard domains.

📊 Analytics Dashboard

Once your Hub is live, the new Analytics Dashboard shows you what's actually being used: adoption rates, most popular templates, most active automations, and success rates — with dedicated API endpoints if you want to pull the data into your own systems.

Logs & Debugging

If you've ever had to debug a complex automation, you'll appreciate this one.

🔍 Execution-based logs

We've completely redesigned the Logs interface around executions instead of individual messages. Browse logs by execution, see component inputs and outputs, follow correlation IDs across components to trace a single message end-to-end, and toggle between simplified and detailed views. JSON or tree view, your choice.

All component logs now include correlation and message IDs, making cross-component troubleshooting dramatically faster — for both your team and your end users.

‍

User Groups & Workspaces

A major new collaboration system that lets your internal teams or users share resources and work together on automations.

👥 Shared flows, accounts, and integrations

Create workspaces, add members, and share flows, accounts, and integrations across a team. Whether your end users are a 5-person ops team or a 500-person enterprise, they can now collaborate on automations the same way they collaborate on everything else.

The system is fully manageable through the new User Groups API, the Studio workspace switcher, and the Backoffice admin interface.

Integration Template Management

Editing live integrations used to mean stopping them. Not anymore.

✏️ Updates with the new draft workflow

Need to fix or improve a running integration? Click Edit, make your changes, and publish when you're ready — all while the original keeps processing data. The new draft workflow lets you safely iterate on live integrations without downtime or data loss. Don't like the changes? Discard the draft and nothing happens to the running version.

🔑 Account sharing for templates

For database connections, AI provider accounts, or any service where you don't want every end user to bring their own credentials, you can now mark an account as shared with all template users. One credential, used by everyone running the template.

🎯 Variable restrictions and field controls

The Wizard Builder gets more granular control:

  • Restrict variables to specific components in the flow — perfect for simplifying the variable picker for non-technical users.
  • Disable variables or modifiers entirely on chosen fields when you want a clean, predefined experience.
  • Custom placeholders and tooltips for every field, with the option to hide tooltips that aren't useful.
  • Drag-and-drop field reordering in the wizard builder.
  • The magic-wand icon for "add to template" has been replaced with a clearer checkbox — small change, much clearer UX.

Appmixer Studio UI Improvements

Lots of polish in 6.4 — here are the highlights.

‍

đź§­ Reorganized navigation

A single Build space now houses both automation templates and flows, with a refreshed dashboard and clearer navigation. The Automation Hub gets its own dedicated panel with quick access to Preview and Share.

🏷️ Automatic flow naming

Flows are now auto-named based on the components they contain. No more New automation (47) in your list.

🎯 Smaller touches that add up

  • Published/Unpublished filter for templates
  • Manage Categories shortcut in the templates context menu
  • Confirmation dialog before revoking connections (no more accidental disconnects)
  • New dotted-grid canvas background
  • Updated explainer panels for the Automation Hub and Templates

Engine & Technical Improvements

Under the hood, 6.4 brings meaningful infrastructure work.

  • Database limits & resource quotas — comprehensive resource management for controlling storage and flow limits per user or scope.
  • Waiting queues migrated from RabbitMQ to MongoDB for better performance.
  • Redesigned retry mechanism with improved configuration options.
  • RabbitMQ 4.x compatibility confirmed and tested.
  • All logs can now be output to stdout for Vector and other log aggregation tools.
  • Rate limiting on the create user API, token revocation in the admin API, dynamic CORS origin reflection, and correlation IDs in all ERROR logs.
  • The default maximum message size (LIMIT_MESSAGE_MAX_BYTES) has been lowered from 15MB to 2MB — worth noting if your flows process large payloads.

💡 Full  details in the changelog.

🚀 Looking Ahead: What's Coming Next

We're already deep into the next release, and here's a sneak peek at what we're working on:

  • AI Copilot — describe the flow you want in plain language and let the Copilot build it for you. Use it to make changes to existing flows too, right inside the designer.
  • Built-in flow testing — test your flows directly within the designer before pushing them live.
  • Versioning — see active and draft versions of every flow, restore previous versions, and create versions manually whenever you want a checkpoint.

May Appmixer 6.4 make your product stickier, your customers happier, and your roadmap a little less crowded. 🍀
