Enhanced reliability for document ownership transfers

We’ve made significant improvements to the “Transfer Ownership of Documents” step, enhancing its reliability and performance. This workflow step enables you to move ownership of a document from one user to another and is especially useful when it comes to managing leavers in your organization. CloudM Automate now leverages Google’s Data Transfer API for this critical task.

Key changes include:

These changes ensure a more robust and dependable document transfer process, minimizing disruptions and ensuring a smooth offboarding experience.

Streamlined resource allocation prompts

We’ve enhanced the “Prompt for Resource Allocation” step to prevent offboarding processes from stalling. A new setting has been introduced to automatically skip the step if no action is taken within a specified timeframe.

Automated skip feature

Configure the step to automatically skip if no action is taken within a defined number of days, preventing offboardings from getting stuck.

This improvement provides greater flexibility and control over the resource allocation process, ensuring timely completion of offboarding workflows.

All the above features are now live. You can read the full release notes including bug fixes and system improvements for this and previous releases here, or head straight into the product to see them in action.
