New Office 365 Calendar Integration, On-Premise Connectors and Bug Fixes


We just pushed out a new release of Lucy. Here’s what’s new:

Google Sheets
Office 365

We have enabled the Office 365 Calendar Connector by default and done a few enhancements for some of our other connectors.

We have also introduced On-Premise connectors that let you connect to services and devices running on your local premise from Lucy on the cloud.

We have connectors for all popular control system protocols and some enterprise systems.

Using the Office 365 Calendar Connector

Using the Office 365 Calendar Connector

This connector lets you manipulate Office 365 Calendar events in Lucy.

You can also receive event triggers whenever a calendar event is about to start or end or got created or updated.

You can create, update and delete events using blocks from the Office 365 Calendar category in the block list.

You can link your Office 365 account and authorize Lucy to connect to it.

You can also react to calendar events. Open the Action List and then select an Office 365 Calendar event to add it to the staging area.

You can then configure that event by linking an account and a calendar as well as set up a time window to specify how long before or after an event to trigger your workflow.

Google Sheets Connector enhancements

Google Sheets Connector enhancements

The Google Sheet’s GetData block has an improved structure for returning data.
Previously, data was returned as nested arrays:

[

[1,2,3],

[3,4,5]

]

It has been changed to return data as an array of columns. This lets you easily access data by the column and row.

[

{A:1,B:2,C:3,RowNumber:1},

{A:3,B:4,C:5,RowNumber:2},

]

With this structure – you can easily feed the output into a repeater and access individual cells by their Sheet Column ID.

Repeater Block Improvements

Previously, repeater blocks worked by processing items in parallel.

However, we have found that most users find it counter-intuitive and sometimes leads to strange results.

We added an option to repeaters that lets you process items in a sequence, so one item in the input list is guaranteed to be processed only after preceding items are processed.

This will now be the default option for new repeater blocks that you add.

For backward compatibility -this feature will not be enabled by default on existing repeater blocks you have. You can explicitly turn it on by checking off the ‘Run in sequence’ option.

On-Premise Connectors

This is an entirely new feature which deserves a blog post of its own. This will be coming soon!
