We've made a number of improvements to reduce friction when working with recipients in the workflow and broadcast builder.

  1. Recipient always selected. When you open a workflow or broadcast, a recipient is now automatically selected so you can preview recipient data in your workflow.
  2. Object recipients. You can now toggle the recipient or actor field to “object” and select the object you want to use while building and previewing your workflow.
  3. Inline-identify from the recipient selector. You can now add a new user or object directly from the recipient selector, without needing to navigate away.
  4. Edit users and objects. A new “Edit” button lets you make changes to user or object properties without leaving the workflow builder.

These improvements also extend to the test runner, where you're now able to inline-identify and edit user data.
