4.21 Release Notes

New Features

• Webhook Ingestion: It is now possible to ingest webhook notifications from external applications and platforms.

  • A new system table called Webhooks (only available to administrators) allows you to create a unique key for each webhook, and specify a saved query that can be run when the event is triggered.

  • See our step-by-step instructions for configuring webhooks to learn more.

Configure webhook ingestion in the Webhooks table.

• Anonymous User: This release creates a new Cinchy user called "Anonymous".

  • This user can be given permissions directly, or added to groups, similar to any other user. However, note that the anonymous user is programmatically limited to read-only access. Even if it is directly given insert or update privileges, or added to a group that has such entitlements, these will not apply when accessing Cinchy anonymously.

  • Unauthenticated calls to the ExecuteCQL and ExecuteSavedQuery APIs will now run based on the permissions granted to the anonymous user; i.e. Cinchy will return any and all data that the anonymous user has permission to view.

  • Note that API calls that provide incorrect credentials will still return a 401 - Unauthorized response.

  • Currently, there is no way for the anonymous user to access Cinchy directly via the data browser.
