OL Connect Automate

Hi, the latest version is released about 11 months ago. Any info on new version release date?
I would like to begin testing the new environment and it would be better to start with the new version if its release date is soon.

Hi Darkovuj,

Thanks for reaching out. We are working on a 0.9.7 release. This comes with several new OL Connect nodes and of course some improvements. In addition we will publish a package for Files and Folders related tasks like: folder capture and folder listing and a separate sendgrid package to send content created using the email content node via the Sendgrid email service. No exact eta yet but it is likely to arrive in Jan '23.

Hi Darkovuj,

Wanted to share a few quick updates on our Node-RED packages. We’ve published an update for our OL Connect nodes (0.9.7). In addition, we’ve introduced a package to send personalized email content via sendgrid and a package to handle files system tasks such as folder capture and folder listing. See the highlights below.

You can install/update these packages from the Manage palette option in Node-RED. Search for: @objectif-lune.

OL Connect nodes 0.9.7

(@objectif-lune/node-red-contrib-connect)

  • New document mapping and template info nodes
  • All in one and paginated output have an option to download and store the result in msg.payload (optional). This makes adding an additional file download node redundant.
  • Runtime parameters support is added for the paginated content node

OL Files and Folders nodes 0.9.7

(@objectif-lune/node-red-contrib-files-and-folders)

This files and folders package contains nodes to perform common file system related tasks like triggering a flow when a new file arrives or list the files in a specific folder.

  • Introduced the folder capture and folder listing nodes

Note: Requires Node.js 14 or later.

OL Sendgrid node 0.9.7

(@objectif-lune/node-red-contrib-files-and-folders)

  • The sendgrid node sends pre-rendered email content, created by the email content node of the OL Connect package for Node-RED, via the SendGrid service for bulk processing. This task uses SendGrid’s v3 Web API which is faster than sending email over SMTP

We’ve released new versions of our Node-RED packages (0.9.8). The update is packed with exciting new features and enhanced functionality. See the highlights below.

Examples
We’ve included examples with the OL Connect nodes to illustrate some common implementations and help you to master document composition tasks using Node-RED even faster. The samples are inspired on typical document composition and communication delivery processes. They appear in the flows folder under the Examples section of the Import dialog (choose: Node-RED menu > Import >Examples). Each comes with a Comment node (Read me) with instructions.

Additional examples follow in subsequent releases.

Mailjet
Following the Sendgrid package in the 0.9.7 release we now introduced a node to send personalized email using the Mailjet service. The Mailjet node sends pre-rendered email content, created by the email content node of the OL Connect package for Node-RED, via the Mailjet email service for bulk processing. This task uses Mailjet’s API which is faster than sending email over SMTP.
Package name: @objectif-lune/node-red-contrib-mailjet

Active project option for Folder Listing
The enhanced Folder Listing node now offers an option to work with folders within the active Node-RED project. Setting the Path to a location in the active project allows this node to be used in startup flows to automatically deploy OL Connect resources stored in a Node-RED Project. This helps making your flows relocatable.

The option requires the project feature to be enabled in the settings.js file of your Node-RED installation.

Working with files and folders
Our Files and Folders package has received a significant boost, empowering you to take complete control over files and folders. With the addition of two powerful nodes: file operations and folder operations. Use these to effortlessly create, move, and delete files, while also creating and removing folders.

All in one
The new Data file option provides greater flexibility to specify the path to the data file. Use it to fetch this information from a custom msg property or create a JSONata expression to construct a variable path.

Note! You can install/update these packages from the Manage palette option in Node-RED. To install, search for: @objectif-lune.
