New Onboarding Flow – And a Surprise at the End

We’ve reimagined the OttoKit onboarding flow to give new users a faster and smoother start.

We’ve reimagined the OttoKit onboarding flow to give new users a faster and smoother start.

From a simplified 3-step signup to an easier way to explore plans, the new onboarding is designed to help you discover OttoKit’s full potential without friction, and at your own pace.

Whether you’re just testing things out or diving into more advanced features, you’ll now be able to start building workflows with more clarity and less confusion.

A Fresh Start That Gets You Going Faster

Key Highlights:

  • Simplified 3-Step Registration
    The new sign-up process is short, focused, and collects only what’s essential, so you can get to building faster without unnecessary steps.
  • Streamlined Plan Selection
    After completing registration, you’ll land on a cleaner, more informative pricing step. From there, you can explore what’s available and choose the plan that best fits your needs.
  • Tell Us a Bit About You
    During onboarding, we’ll ask a few quick questions about how you plan to use OttoKit. This helps us understand your needs better and improve your overall experience.

🎁 One More Thing…

At the very end of onboarding, if you choose to begin with the Free plan, you’ll unlock a surprise 14-day Business Trial—giving you access to OttoKit’s premium features at no cost, no commitment.

It’s our way of helping you explore what’s possible, without limitations, starting today.

New: Facebook Sign-Up and Custom API Support

We’ve launched a powerful new update aimed at making OttoKit smarter, more intuitive, and user-friendly. This release brings significant improvements in accessibility and integration flexibility. Here’s a detailed look at what’s new:

Facebook Login & Sign-Up Support

We’ve made it even easier to join OttoKit with integrated Facebook login and sign-up options.

What’s New:

  • One-Click Access: Log in or sign up instantly using your existing Facebook credentials.
  • No Extra Passwords: Eliminate the need to remember another username and password.
  • Smooth Onboarding: Enjoy a faster and simpler entry into OttoKit with minimal setup.

This update removes barriers to entry and enhances the overall convenience for new users.

Custom API Endpoint (Available in Most Apps)

Custom API support has now been added to nearly all OttoKit apps (excluding Core and WordPress apps), providing greater flexibility for users to go beyond predefined actions.

Why It Matters:

  • Custom API Calls: While each app includes standard endpoints, external services often update or add new ones. If a required endpoint is missing in the native app, users can now define their own using the Custom API action.
  • Endless Integration Possibilities: This feature empowers developers and advanced users to create custom actions, connect with evolving APIs, and expand the platform’s capabilities.

Perfect for building advanced and tailored workflows.

Thanks for being part of the OttoKit journey. We’re committed to continuous improvement, and more exciting updates are on the way!

Build Smarter: New Layout, Cleaner UI, and Better Controls

Horizontal Builder Layout

Tired of endless scrolling in long workflows? Now you can switch to a horizontal layout that spreads steps side by side, making complex flows easier to follow and edit. It’s flexible, efficient, and perfect for wide screens.

Redesigned App Selection

Adding actions or triggers just got faster. The app panel now groups apps into clear tabs like All Apps, Premium Apps, and Connected Apps. With improved filtering and faster search, finding what you need feels instant and intuitive.

Collapsed Optional Fields

No more digging through dozens of fields. Required fields are shown first, and optional ones are neatly tucked behind a “Show Optional Fields” toggle. It’s faster, cleaner, and far less overwhelming, especially for new users.

Minimal Help Text

Flyouts now look cleaner than ever. Instead of cluttering the screen, help text lives in a tooltip behind a dotted label. Click when you need help, skip it when you don’t. It’s the same guidance, just smarter delivery.

Dashboard Improvements

We’ve stripped away distractions and put AI automation front and center. The new layout removes unused widgets and brings the AI Workflow Builder to the top, so you can build faster, discover recipes quicker, and start with less friction.

WordPress Access Control

Control who sees OttoKit inside WordPress. Now you can grant or restrict access based on user roles or specific users, ideal for agencies, client projects, or membership sites. Admins always stay in control by default.

Fixes & Enhancements

Fixes:

  • WordPress permalink warning now appears during setup and for existing users
  • WP connection limit message now correctly reflects user’s plan

Improvements:

  • Arrays in action responses are now properly formatted
  • Warning icon added to incomplete actions for better visibility
