What’s new in Erstan

​

Action required

• AP Automation leaves custom NetSuite transaction fields and mappings to each customer’s posting Agent. Installations using `posting.body_fields` or `posting.app_base_url` lose the built-in field writes when their AP Posting Agent is updated to this template. Stored values are retained.

What’s new in Erstan

​

Action required

• Fix nested workflow bindings into explicit JSON AI outputs, including empty For Each collections. On deployment, explicit JSON AI outputs in `lastOutput` and `nodes.<id>.output` become parsed objects or arrays. Custom Code that unconditionally calls `JSON.parse(value)` should accept typed values, for example `typeof value === ‘string’ ? JSON.parse(value) : value`. Text-format responses remain strings.

• Install AP Automation from the Library. Install AP Automation from Library > Apps to turn invoice files into NetSuite vendor bills. Complete App setup and approve each post with your own NetSuite connection. Set up AP Automation.

​

Improvements

• Review files and Agent runs inside Apps. Open a document beside an App without losing your draft. Use the App’s run tabs to review approvals and answer Agent questions in the same run.
• Share an App with the data it needs. App owners can choose Include App data when sharing with people or Teams. Review the declared data before granting read access within the App; credentials and access to edit the source stay separate.
• Customize your Library installations. Official Library Apps install as editable copies with publisher updates available for review. Configure included Agents and background triggers from Data > Actions after installation. Add and customize Library Apps.
• Recognize Teams when choosing a destination. Artifacts, App setup and package installation now show the same Team logos and Company or Personal labels as Tasks.

​

• Create richer PowerPoint presentations. Requests for branded decks and charts can find the available presentation tools instead of falling back to plain bullet slides.
• Keep Project links within connection permissions. Connected tools can link Project documents, files and Sheets only from Teams approved for the connection and accessible to the person using it.

​

Data Sources, Packages and direct Slack tools

​

Action required

• Reconnect legacy personal Slack connections. The Beta release covered by this 1 October update replaces personal Slack MCP and Composio connections with Erstan’s direct Slack authorization. Personal tools now cover messages, files, Canvases, channels, reactions, pins and bookmarks, with visible permission status and action policies. If you used the old personal connector, open Connectors → Slack personal account and authorize it again. Replace explicit Composio or MCP tool pins with the new Slack tools and recreate pending approvals. The cutover removes legacy personal connections and locally stored credentials; the workspace bot remains a separate connection. Existing direct Slack grants may need Update Slack permissions for newly added tools. Connect a personal Slack account.

​

New features

• Reuse published Data Sources across Apps and Agents. Create named reads from NetSuite, supported connector tools and Erstan files; preview paged results, review inputs and output columns, then publish for reuse. Draft saves stay separate from the published definition. Shared sources still check each viewer’s underlying system access.
• Install and share versioned Packages. New Library installs and custom Packages support published releases, searchable components, managed or editable copies, reviewed updates, and archive or restore actions. Existing items can be reused without losing customizations; recipient data stays local. Browse the Library.
• Start with NetSuite Prompt Packs. Install categorized prompts from the Library, receive relevant prompts with Agent installs, and use custom business areas to organize Skills and Prompts. Use starter prompts.
• Share Apps with clearer access choices. Give people Can use or Can edit access, manage people, teams and links consistently, and publish Apps for authenticated or public access. App use actions and access to underlying data remain subject to their own permissions.

​

Improvements

• Set up Agent Knowledge with clearer recovery steps. Agents can include managed NetSuite references during installation or add them later from Knowledge. Setup warnings identify the actual blocker and open the relevant settings; optional references no longer prevent an otherwise ready Agent from starting. Manage Agent Knowledge.
• Choose models and defaults more easily. Grouped model selection includes Erstan Auto and clearer defaults. Administrators can curate model availability, refresh supplier facts, see incomplete pricing, and manage inherited company settings. Switching eligible publishers back to Erstan Managed works again. Choose models in chat.
• Generate and preview Office files more reliably. Built-in document Skills can run without duplicate workspace copies. PowerPoint generation works with offline libraries and improved desktop compatibility; saved Word, PowerPoint and other exports retain their download references. Presentation previews add scrolling thumbnails and collapsible speaker notes. Work with generated files.
• Keep App editing, files and conversations together. Editors can update an App from its existing side chat and preview shared drafts. Creators can view unpublished Apps directly. Source folders are easier to browse, connections are grouped by provider, and page navigation and related chat context survive refreshes.
• See clearer usage and tool charges. Company usage is grouped under Plan & billing, chat cost comparisons are corrected, and paid third-party tool charges apply to calls actually dispatched to the provider.
• Follow current chat and run status. Chat shows activity immediately, Runs retains failed chat starts, and live status updates reflect worker progress. Recent runs are no longer hidden by stale refreshes, tool names are easier to read, and retries and rejected messages have clearer status. Inspect run history.
• Launch and configure Agents with less friction. Manual launches default to Chat, built-in triggers match the builder, and AI steps can prepare data for For Each. Assistant and Automation categories preserve existing Workforce and delegated Agent behavior. Run Agents.

​

Fixes

• Provide entry details in Agent conversations. Delegated entry forms resolve correctly, numeric answers are validated, and people can supply requested details through chat or optional form controls. Use Agents in chat.
• Keep approvals attached to the right action and conversation. Slack shows Agent findings before decision requests and keeps replies on waiting runs. Delegated approvals resume the saved child run, follow-up writes retain their approval requirement, and task continuations preserve the initiating person’s permissions. Review approval controls.
• Continue conversations and recover interrupted runs. Completed delegations can continue in their own conversations with existing context. Stopping model streams no longer hangs on a pending supplier read; saved model failures can resume, and duplicate notices and stale activity indicators are reduced. Continue Agent conversations.
• Keep personal conversations and access boundaries consistent. Assistant panels and restored history respect personal scope, SSO revocations remain effective, and invited members can start chats even when their personal team needs repair.
• Recover from NetSuite connection and response problems. Successful REST reads are recognized correctly, provider authorization errors retain useful details, and setup offers clearer recovery guidance. Embedded Apps load again, stale host capabilities refresh before publication checks, and Add-on tools work with more AI providers. Troubleshoot connectors.
• Save Agent edits and navigate with consistent icons. Agent edits save reliably, Skill pickers recover after a team fallback, and saved Team and Agent icons appear consistently in task views and chat history.

​

Week ending 20 September 2026

​

New features

• Give an Agent its own Slack app. Connect a custom Slack bot to a specific Agent for channel mentions, direct messages, delegated work and approvals. Custom Slack apps.
• Link Tasks to Sheets and Database records. Task custom fields can reference Sheets and Database records, and Agents receive those references as task context. Working with Tasks.

​

Improvements

• Delegate work across Slack and Agent conversations. Delegated Agents keep their conversation turns and separate runs. The coordinating Agent can manage delegated work, and Slack results stay below progress notices. Agents in chat.
• See which Agent replied in Slack. Slack triggers can show the responding Agent and a conversation link beneath replies. Grouped Slack history also identifies the Agent, with fewer routine private notices. Slack conversation settings.
• Open Tasks, Agent and Team lists faster. Lists load with fewer repeated requests, and Task view counts stay consistent with the selected view. Task views.
• Control sub-task visibility and scan recent activity. Task views offer sub-task visibility controls and group recent activity for easier scanning. Working with Tasks.
• Keep saved Agent Knowledge settings separate from Erstan chat. Saved Agents use their configured Knowledge policy. Erstan chat uses its own Knowledge setting, without passing that preference into saved Agents. Knowledge settings.
• Use more specialized NetSuite guidance. Library Agents include specialist NetSuite Skills and validated SuiteQL references. Library details show connection status and explain optional NetSuite Add-on 2.3.0 capabilities. Solution Library.
• Review library Agent versions before updating. See the installed library version and review an available update before applying it to a draft. The published version remains available while you review changes. Agent versions.
• Search conversations without matching internal prompts. Conversation search excludes internal Agent step prompts. Chat.

​

Fixes

• Inspect library dependencies and related automations more clearly. Agent details show accessible versions, Knowledge references, Add-on dependencies and shorter tool descriptions. Reference search matches visible names, and related automations open with their details and graph. Solution Library.
• Install library Agents and their Skills in the selected location. Library installations handle personal and Team destinations more consistently and include the Skills required by installed automations. Solution Library.
• Follow delegated work from the coordinating conversation. Delegated conversations open as child threads and interactive panels, with clearer requester attribution and outcome reporting. Their run steps stay beside the coordinating chat, and history opens through that conversation. Agents in chat.
• Keep delegated approvals and input requests usable. Approval controls and assigned reviewers remain available through live updates and restored history. Delegated runs resume after decisions and requests for more information. Approvals in chat.
• Read Slack uploads and work with canvases reliably. Agents preserve uploaded Slack files and can create or update canvases through a personal Slack connection.
• Connect and refresh personal Slack accounts reliably. Personal Slack authorization accepts standard OAuth bearer-token responses.
• Keep Slack thread context and follow-up attachments. Thread replies retain context and attachments while respecting when the Agent should respond. Group direct messages are supported after reconnecting Slack. Slack conversation settings.
• Render Slack reports and emoji correctly in conversation history. Slack reports, emoji and Agent labels display more consistently when you revisit conversations in Erstan. Chat.
• Delete eligible conversations after cancelling their runs. Conversation owners and admins can delete conversations they are allowed to manage, including conversations whose runs have been cancelled. Chat.
• Choose valid Agent assignment Teams and clearer Task field values. Task assignment finds the selected Agent’s eligible Teams and preserves the Team context used to open it. Custom fields show type icons and input examples. Working with Tasks.
• Reload shared run details when switching workspaces. Shared run pages refresh their details after a workspace switch. Run history.

​

Week ending 13 September 2026

​

Action required

• Knowledge searches require selected sources. Knowledge now groups files, documents and selected NetSuite references into named sources with scoped access and indexing cost controls. For existing indexed content, open Knowledge, add an enabled source selecting those files or documents, and attach it to the relevant Agents. Select any NetSuite references you need. Indexing alone no longer makes content searchable, and the legacy whole-corpus subscription endpoint has been removed. Set up Knowledge sources.
• Task tool integrations use assignedAgentId. Developers calling er_task_create must replace workflowId with assignedAgentId. Pass null when creating a Task without an Agent; an explicit Agent must have a valid Task entry. The separate public MCP create_task contract is unchanged.

​

New features

• Build Apps backed by native Databases. Store typed records, create saved views, import and export data, and let Agents work with the same records and record-change triggers.
• Collaborate in Documents and Sheets. Edit together with recovery for concurrent changes, while keeping standalone Excel files available.
• Discover connector triggers in the Agent builder. Configure supported connector events from Connectors or Agents. Availability reflects the current user’s authorized connection, and draft webhooks explain when publication is still needed.
• Start Agents from NetSuite record changes. Configure record subscriptions through the Erstan NetSuite Addon and see the published subscription’s status and recovery guidance.
• Connect the NetSuite Addon for personal or unattended work. Use personal authorizations or service connections, with automatic client registration, clearer certificate setup and guidance when authentication needs attention.
• Stage Agent and Skill changes through the private SDK beta. Private beta participants can prepare and validate authoring drafts before publication. The SDK requires a reviewed package archive or private repository access; it is not published on npm. SDK beta setup.
• Explore Credit usage with clearer attribution. Analytics breaks down usage by person, team, Agent, model and ability, with activity details and CSV export. Personal usage is under Settings → Plan & Billing → Usage; audit date filters and exports respect timezones.

​

Improvements

• Choose company-funded AI or your own provider connection. AI access can inherit company settings. Provider pricing is distinguished from company Credits, with shared allowances and managed connection controls.
• See model availability and abilities more clearly. Model discovery, connection access and ability settings are aligned across Chat and Agent AI steps.
• Work with larger Database tables and complete exports. Browse records in pages, import in recoverable batches, inspect storage usage and configure optional history retention. Excel exports preserve typed values.
• Edit Apps with better draft recovery. App saves protect newer changes, connected Database views refresh after updates, and page editing and connection setup are easier to find.
• Keep files produced by Agent code execution. Saved Workbench files remain available to return to after a run.
• Find saved outputs in the Artifacts gallery. Preview generated images and other saved outputs, see their producing Agent and open the original content. Browse Artifacts.
• Start from role Agents in the Solution Library. Choose an Agent for your work and extend it with optional skill and prompt packs. Installed Agents open directly, and installation recovery is more reliable. Explore the Library.
• Start chats faster with current Skill guidance. Chat startup does less repeated preparation, and Agent authoring uses the latest published Skills.
• Paste or drop attachments into Task comments.

​

Fixes

• Keep run navigation and Activity consistent. Compact run navigation, message highlights and activity outcomes remain stable during streaming and replay. Event-triggered runs open their execution trace.
• Give Slack replies available conversation context and source links. Channel replies can identify participants and use readable thread history, while task and record links remain clickable. Workspace members can send requests without a separate company membership record.
• Assign or clear task assignees from Chat.
• Open the correct conversation for scheduled Agent Tasks. Scheduled Tasks include built-in tools and show clear retry or terminal failure states.
• Keep conversation history tied to the selected chat. Switching threads no longer reuses another transcript; document chats load the correct conversation and the composer stays stable during loading.
• Switch Chat connectors independently. The Agent receives the currently searchable connector and tool list.
• Open NetSuite custom-record links and rich field details correctly.
• Continue supported SuiteQL requests when metadata lookup fails. Authorized Addon tools also accept their supported record and query arguments consistently.
• Preserve currency scope in receivables reports. AR responses distinguish open invoice exposure from net receivables.
• Recover company usage accounting and allowances reliably.
• Run managed models with compatible output limits and model identifiers.
• Use beta approval as the company signup gate. Company signup no longer needs a shared access code or a separate signup switch.
• Load Sheets more reliably.
• Keep loaded Database Board pages when reconnecting without new changes.

​

Slack task updates and smoother Content browsing

​

New features

• Receive task outcomes in the originating Slack thread. Tasks started from Slack now post back when they need review, finish, fail, or are cancelled, with a summary and a link to the task. Connecting Slack.
• Follow Erstan releases from the docs. The new Changelog tab brings dated release highlights, tag filters, and an RSS feed to help you keep up with features, improvements, and fixes.

​

Improvements

• Browse and sort larger Content lists. Search, sorting, and filters now apply across the Content listing. Load more items as you browse, with selections preserved across loaded pages. Open Knowledge to manage agent knowledge; it is no longer a filter in Content.
• Read file lists more easily on smaller screens. Compact rows, shorter file-type labels, and timestamp tooltips leave more room for filenames. Image previews also explain when a file cannot be read as an image. Previewing files.
• Simpler Slack channel setup. Optional channel routing settings stay collapsed until you open them, keeping the connector page focused on getting connected.

​

Fixes

• Preview older edited workbooks again. Fixed preview errors for some older workbooks whose saved file metadata no longer matched their contents. Workbook previews.
• Keep agent run plans up to date. Agents now reconcile their run plan after tools finish so completed work is reflected, while unfinished or blocked work remains open.
• Show the correct Slack connection status. Fixed a successful workspace connection being shown as expired after a tool check. The connector page also refreshes when the authorization window closes.
• Open Erstan links from Slack. Erstan links in Slack messages now include the full address so they open the intended page.
• Link Sheets to project resources. In workspaces with Sheets enabled, the project resource picker includes Sheets and linked items open with the correct name and destination.
• Keep sharing controls inside the dialog. People and team results now scroll within the sharing dialog, keeping Save access visible on smaller screens. Share buttons and keyboard controls are also consistent across supported surfaces.
• Preserve the results of approved actions. Completed and failed tool results remain visible as later agent activity arrives, instead of appearing to run again. Reviewing actions.

Images in chat and easier schedule controls

​

New features

• Generate images in chat. Ask Erstan to create an image with an OpenAI model and preview or download the result as an attachment. Image Generation is managed in your workspace’s OpenAI connector settings; availability depends on your selected model’s tool policy and OpenAI account access. Using image generation.

​

Improvements

• Pause a schedule from the builder. Pause or resume an individual schedule directly on its trigger node, keeping its settings ready for later. This makes it easier to manage agents with several schedules. Managing schedules.

​

Fixes

• Attached Skills load their guidance when needed. Fixed agents being unable to load attached Skill instructions when ordinary tools were disabled. Skill access now follows the agent’s Skill policy independently, while its tool restrictions continue to apply. Configuring tools and Skills.
