A rundown of the latest Atomicwork’s feature releases, product enhancements, design updates, and important bug fixes.
We’ve upgraded the workflow builder with more control, stronger validation, and expanded automation options to help you manage requests efficiently and reduce manual work.
What's new in Triggers
What’s new in Actions
This will help speed up handoffs between teams when work shifts across departments or changes in urgency. Requests can be redirected instantly to the right team, so they follow the correct escalation paths and eliminate delays. This shortens resolution times, minimizes miscommunication, and keeps work progressing without unnecessary back-and-forth.
Organizations using Google Workspace can now enable SAML-based login to Atomicwork for a seamless, secure authentication process. Users can log in with their Google Workspace credentials, eliminating extra passwords.
This centralization makes access control easier and more reliable, while also simplifying onboarding and offboarding through direct management in your Google Workspace directory.
We’ve added 777 new Trusted Knowledge sources, so the Universal Agent can tap into a broader and more diverse set of information. This means richer, more comprehensive responses for your employees without your IT team having to maintain or update details across an ever-growing list of tools.
You can now automatically discover hardware and software assets across your organization using Atomicwork’s built-in scanning and agent-based tools. This ensures IT teams have a unified, up-to-date view of all devices — even in networks not fully covered by traditional device management tools.
Key capabilities
Let’s say you’re managing IT for a hybrid team across three offices. You install:
Together, these provide a full-fleet view, from printers in the hallway to laptops in home offices.
Agent Assist now taps into your internal knowledge base to deliver more contextual root cause analyses, and recommendations. Agent Assist suggestions are now informed by a curated, reliable blend of your org's internal docs as well as credible external sources. Responses include clickable links to related articles and past requests, helping agents dive deeper when needed.
For example, when handling a recurring VPN issue, Agent Assist now references your org’s internal VPN troubleshooting guide and links to past request resolutions.
You can now detect, and manage major incidents with greater control helping your teams reduce noise, and act faster when things go wrong. With flexible controls, you decide how and when incidents escalate, based on what matters to your environment.
What's new
Say, five employees across different teams report problems accessing your internal HR tool over a few hours. The system recognizes these as intent-aligned — even if the issue descriptions differ slightly.
It groups them under a potential incident and notifies your workspace admins. Once an admin confirms it, all subsequent login-related tickets are automatically linked, allowing support teams to resolve them in context, rather than one by one.
This end-to-end process helps you identify patterns earlier, reduce duplicate effort, and stay in control during high-volume moments
You can now add custom logic to your workflows more easily without wrestling with APIs, authentication, or external scripting environments. With the upgraded Execute Script workflow action, functions for existing third-party actions are available out-of-the-box to help create custom scripts faster.
The full-page visual editor helps you write and test code with built-in suggestions and syntax support, so you don’t need to switch contexts or rely on external tools. In-built credential handling ensures you no longer have to manage secrets or set up complex API headers manually.
For example, if you want to notify a third-party CRM every time a high-priority request is tagged as “VIP,” you can simply add an Execute Script action, write a few lines of script, and connect it — all within the workflow. No external middleware, no manual token setups.
We've introduced controls to improve transparency in change approvals — especially for users outside your workspace and teams with stricter governance needs.
Approvals only work when the right people have the right information — and now, even non-workspace users can fully participate in the change approval lifecycle.
What’s new
Who gets access?
You can now prevent requesters from approving their own changes, by configuring this behaviour at the workspace level. This gives enterprise teams greater control over how change approvals are managed, especially for teams following ITIL or other governance-heavy workflows.
To enable or disable this setting, under Settings, navigate to Your workspace > Settings > Changes.
If a restricted requester tries to approve, they’ll see an error message explaining that self-approvals are not allowed.
For example, when disabled, if the Assignee placeholder resolves to the requester:
You can now access and manage all your approvals from across workflows in one easy-to-manage dashboard. Search by the name of the approver, edit policies directly, and gain full visibility into how approvals operate across your workspaces.
You can now click on any metric in the Agent or Group Performance dashboards to instantly see the specific requests behind it.
Here’s what’s new:
Atom got a whole lot smarter! We’ve more than doubled the number of trusted knowledge sources, expanding from 50 to 119 official platforms, bringing richer, more accurate answers across your tools and systems.
Whether you’re trying to understand a Workday leave process, Salesforce permissions, or how to manage a team channel in Microsoft Teams, Atom now pulls in contextual insights from official public documentation.
Surveys are now more focused and actionable. You can target surveys based on audience segments such as “All employees” or specific user groups. This ensures:
We've introduced Agent Assist within requests to help service agents understand and resolve requests faster. It can:
Imagine you’re handling a network issue reported by multiple users — Agent Assist helps you spot the pattern, trace it back to a misconfigured switch, and suggests a proven fix. All without switching tabs or hunting through past tickets.
Dropdown attributes got an intelligent upgrade so that:
These changes make dropdown management cleaner and less error-prone, especially for complex form setups with multi-level options.
Managing requests linked to multiple assets just got more efficient.
Here’s what’s new:
So, if a request is tied to multiple laptops, monitors, and a printer, you’ll be able to find the most relevant one quickly and understand its extended impact.
Keeping track of who submitted, updated, or responded to a request can be confusing — especially with similar names in play. Now, when you hover over any name in request conversations, activity logs, or summaries, you’ll see a popover with their name, department, and email. Click to view their full profile for deeper context.
For example, when a request is updated, the workflow can be setup to pull every note via API (an array), assemble a transcript, use AI to spot repetitive back-and-forth, and if a loop is found, escalates the ticket with full context to the right team.
Scan Requests, Incidents, Assets, and more with a full-page view so you can view all results in one glance.
Press Cmd + K / Ctrl + K to run a search, choose View all results, and use the central filter bar to narrow down your results quickly.
You can now streamline everyday actions with a few keystrokes. Press Cmd + / on Mac or Ctrl + / on Windows to open the full shortcut list or from the Profile dropdown in the top-right corner. Shortcuts are now available for key actions like:
Automate change governance right inside Azure DevOps with the new Atomicwork extension (now available on the Azure DevOps marketplace) - no scripts or extra tools required.
Here's what the integration brings to the table:
You can now track service-desk metrics in two new Analytics reports: Agent Performance and Group Performance.
You can label requests with colour-coded tags to improve search, visibility, and automation.
You can now collect structured inputs on any request using forms as part of your workflows, trigger next steps based on responses, and notify assignees instantly via Slack or Teams. Forms can be reused across workflows and filled directly from the portal, making use-cases like escalations faster, clearer, and more consistent.
Nested drop-downs now flow through the whole workflow, keeping every step aligned without extra rules.
Atomicwork's API documentation is now public, offering developers direct visibility into Atomicwork’s APIs and enabling seamless integration with other tools and platforms.
Handling repetitive questions just got a whole lot easier. Agents and admins can now create personalized, reusable canned responses — reducing typing time and ensuring consistent replies across your workspace. You can:
Meet the new Classify content with AI workflow action — a flexible, prompt-based tool that lets you define custom categories and definitions to categorize incoming messages and responses, and choose what further steps need to be taken based on the classification.
For example, a message like "Urgent help needed" can be classified as Escalation, and automatically trigger a high-priority escalation path. Or a user response like "No, I don't want to proceed" would be a Cancellation instantly resolving the request.
Workspace admins can now:
The Classify content with AI action provides dynamic control and intelligent automation without manual intervention from your agents.
Forms in Atomicwork just got more powerful with 3-level nested drop-down fields. You can now create multi-tiered selections that streamline data entry and decision-making. These customizable fields are available across requests, changes, incident forms, and the service catalog, making it easier to capture precise information at every step.
Say, you are managing IT asset requests for a global organization. With nested drop-downs, selecting a device type like Laptop automatically narrows down the brand options to Dell, HP, or Apple. Choose Apple, and the final drop-down lists available models like MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. This structured flow eliminates guesswork, reduces errors, and speeds up request submissions.
You can now verify and whitelist your email addresses so that all outgoing email from Atomicwork are trusted and successfully reach your users’ inboxes, without accidentally being sent to spam. Replies will be sent from your own domain (support@yourcompany.com) instead of the default Atomicwork subdomain (support@yourcompany.atomicwork.com) — ensuring clarity and continuity in every conversation. Learn more about how to set up outgoing email verification.
Other email enhancements include:
You can now edit the Requestor on any request — perfect for when someone else takes over a conversation or the original contact isn't the right point of contact anymore.
When you change the requestor on a request:
For example, say an office manager raises a request for a new laptop for a new hire, but then hands it off to IT for follow-up. With this update, you can switch the requestor to the new hire themselves — so they get all future updates — while keeping the original office manager in the loop as a follower.
This gives you more flexibility to manage handoffs and keep communication flowing with the right people.
Atom is now a multimodal, context-aware AI that works across your enterprise to deliver real-time, proactive support right when and where it’s needed, and in a mode you prefer. Learn more here.
We’ve rolled out improvements to make identity and access management smoother for organizations using Okta.
This enhancement ensures your team can set up user provisioning with greater flexibility, regardless of how your Okta permissions are structured.
You can now automatically sync workforce changes—like new joiners, role changes, and exits—directly into Atomicwork with the Oracle HCM integration. Changes in Oracle HCM automatically reflect in Atomicwork, instantly triggering onboarding and offboarding workflows without any manual intervention, ensuring employees have the right access from day one.
For example, when a new hire is added to Oracle HCM, you can automatically create user accounts, configures permissions, and grants access to apps through Atomicwork.
You can now sync employees directly via Azure AD, just like with Okta. This is helpful for customers who are on Azure but need a besides-Teams option to keep their employee data flowing into Atomicwork.
Org admins can now access a unified change calendar across all workspaces by navigating to Change calendar in the left navbar. With this global view, you can:
With new triggers, actions and placeholders, you can now automate more complex processes.
New triggers and actions added
We've also introduced System and System or any person as trigger options, allowing actions executed by a workflow to trigger other workflows.
We've introduced a new Analyst role that will give users visibility into analytics and reports—without needing workspace or org admin permissions.
Effortlessly track, secure, and control your Apple devices—all in one place.
Sync, search and stay updated effortlessly on all knowledge stored in your Google Drive folders, through Atom.
You can now add conditional actions to your change templates to handle variable change workflows such as dynamically assigning approval policies or calculating risk scores based on specific form inputs.
With conditional change actions, you can:
You can now send approvals based on indirect relationships, such as people linked to assets that are part of service items, with extended capabilities of our relationship attributes.
Previously, you could send approvals to users explicitly chosen in a service form. You can now traverse relationship attributes: starting from the service request, following a linked asset, and then triggering an action (like an approval) based on a person associated with that asset.
This unlocks smarter, context-driven workflows that stay in sync with how your organization assigns ownership.
What this means:
For example, a "Server Decommissioning" service item, a requester selects a server. That server has an "infra contact" defined. The approval is automatically sent to that infra contact — even though they were never directly mentioned in the service request.
We've introduced new workflow actions and enhanced filtering to build more advanced workflows.
The Insights report now provides a detailed breakdown of questions and conversations under each Helpful/Unhelpful theme, helping teams refine their content and support strategies.
With this update, admins can:
- Match workspaces to themes allowing them to take targeted actions
- Spot patterns faster based on the questions grouped under each theme
- Gain deeper insights by viewing full user conversations for each question
For example, if your workspaces are structured by function (Marketing, Finance, IT, etc.), you can now quickly identify which content needs updates to improve self-service and deflection rates.
Org admins can now customize the categories of questions the Assistant answers, ensuring it aligns with their unique needs without losing accuracy. This enables:
For example, an airline or travel company could enable Travel & Tourism topics so the Assistant can help employees with flight schedules, travel policies, visa requirements, and baggage guidelines —without affecting its handling of IT-related queries.
You can now run custom JavaScript code within workflows. This means you can execute complex logic, transform data, and integrate deeper with third-party systems—without being limited to predefined actions.
Using data pills, placeholders, and webhooks, you can dynamically pull request details, modify inputs on the fly, and trigger external API calls.
For example, during employee onboarding, you can dynamically create users in Okta while avoiding duplicate usernames. A custom script can check for existing usernames and modify them if necessary (eg. andrea.s@company.com → andrea.s1@company.com), reducing errors and manual work.
We've introduced event-driven workflows for changes to take the manual effort out of change management. You can now:
For example, when a high-risk change is initiated, additional review steps can be triggered automatically at any stage to ensure compliance or security. You can also automatically notify teams whenever a specific action is completed. This not only enforces standardized processes but also saves time by reducing manual oversight.
We've introduced relationship attributes to help you capture the complex connections between people, processes, and resources in your organization.
You can now link assets, service items, and requests to people and other assets.
For example, you can:
You can use relationship attributes to automatically trigger approvals, populate values in workflows dynamically, and also trigger conditional flows.
You can now create customized incident forms for different types of incidents, ensuring agents get the right details upfront—without the back-and-forth.
With custom incident forms, you can:
So, if an employee reports a VPN issue, they’ll be guided through a VPN-specific form, ensuring agents get relevant details like device type and location—leading to faster resolution.
Agents can now create and link Jira issues directly from a request in Atomicwork, eliminating the need to switch between apps. This simplifies collaboration between IT and engineering teams, speeding up resolution times.
How it works
So now, when an employee reports an incident that requires engineering effort, the IT agent can immediately raise and track a Jira ticket for the engineering team, ensuring both teams stay aligned on the issue.
Org admins can fine-tune the Assistant's behavior with the updated Assistant settings. This allows you to customize the Assistant to better serve your organization's unique needs and priorities.
Expand your asset management capabilities by syncing Azure resources such as VMs and Action Groups directly to Atomicwork. Combined with Intune and Kandji sync and native asset tracking, this integration provides a holistic view of your organization’s asset landscape.
Key capabilities
If your organization uses Azure VMs for compute workloads and Intune for device management, syncing both sets of resources into Atomicwork allows IT teams to track and classify them with tags like “Production VM” or “Test Environment,” and link them to reported issues without switching between platforms. This ensures smoother operations and better visibility across cloud and on-prem systems.
Admins can now view detailed logs of workflow actions on a request (including failures/errors) in Request Activities. These logs provide visibility into inputs, outputs, retry attempts, and API calls for third-party actions, ensuring transparency and faster troubleshooting.
For example, imagine a workflow that sends a Slack notification to a user by retrieving their details from Azure AD using their email. When triggered on a request, the Activities tab will show execution of every action within that workflow. If it fails at the step where it retrieves user details, the log for that action will show the inputs and outputs of the call to Azure AD. This helps you quickly identify and troubleshoot the issue.
We’ve introduced a public API that lets you create changes and upload files in a single call. This streamlines integration with third-party systems, making tasks like migrations faster and more efficient by handling file uploads and change creation in one step.
