Updates week of February 16: Formulas, Merge columns, Save AI Prompts, JSON Expander
Merge Columns (New Transformation)
You can now merge multiple columns into one, using a simple “try this first, then fallback to…” order.
Perfect for messy data where the same field might exist in different columns (e.g. company name from multiple providers).
Value: cleaner tables, fewer manual fixes, and consistent output with smart fallbacks.
AI Prompt Templates (Workspace-wide)
You can now save AI prompt templates and reuse them across your workspace anytime.
Value: faster workflows, consistent outputs, and no more rewriting prompts you use every day.
JSON Expander: Now in the Sidebar
We moved the JSON Expander into the right-side panel so it no longer overlays your table.
Value: you can keep your table visible while browsing JSON, and add fields more easily without losing context.
JQ Formula (New Transformation for JSON)
We added a new JQ Formula transformation that lets you parse, filter, and manipulate JSON fields per row, then write the result into a new column (stored as JSON).
This is great for turning “giant JSON blobs” (events, activity logs, nested objects, etc.) into usable fields—like counting specific event types, extracting nested values, or building structured outputs.
Value: makes JSON enrichments actually usable inside tables—without exporting to scripts.
JQ is a slightly more advanced language for querying JSON fields. We plan on adding a ‘Generate with AI’ button which will generate the formula for you. However, ChatGPT (and any other LLM) is very good at crafting JQ queries when needed. Here is a guide on JQ: https://jqlang.org/
Advanced Custom API Settings: Rate Limit + Concurrency Controls (Scale+)
Scale plan (and above) users can now configure rate limits and concurrency for their custom-added APIs.
This helps power users fine-tune connector performance—speeding up high-volume runs while staying within provider limits and reducing failures/timeouts.
To use this feature simply open any custom API and edit the Rate limit and Simultaneous requests settings at the bottom.
Updated Batch Enrichment Runs (More Stable + Plan-Based Limits)
We’ve improved how batch enrichment runs work to make large runs more stable and reliable. Batch limits are now plan-based, and each plan can increase request rate limits as needed.
Expand: batch runs up to 200k rows
Enterprise and above: batch runs up to 1M rows
Added parameter search for large integrations
To make it easier to find the right parameters and map your table to integrations, we’ve added a search tool on the exporters parameters which lets you quickly search through available values.
