HuLoop Release 61 – Version 7.0.18

Release Date: January 27, 2026

New Features & Enhancements

This release introduces focused enhancements that expand visibility, configurability, and workflow capabilities across HuLoop. Updates include clearer insight into re-run executions, new options for customizing and validating document extraction behavior, and a new Messaging node that enables workflows to send emails using workflow variables. Together, these enhancements help teams better understand automation behavior, configure document processing with greater confidence, and design workflows that communicate effectively as they progress.

Execution Visibility & Control

  • Improved Visibility for Failed Test Case Re-runs: HuLoop enhances how re-run executions are presented by preserving visibility into test cases that failed in the initial run. When a re-run is triggered, users can review which test cases led to the re-execution without losing context from the earlier execution. This refinement supports clearer execution analysis and helps teams better understand re-run behavior when working with larger test suites or retry-based execution flows.

Intelligent Document Processing Enhancements

  • Added Prompt Field for Customized Document Extraction: HuLoop introduces a Prompt field within the Extraction function, allowing users to provide document-specific instructions directly as part of the extraction setup. This enhancement supports more tailored extraction behavior for different document types and use cases, while keeping the extraction structure and outputs unchanged.
  • Transparency Sandbox for Document Extraction: HuLoop introduces a Transparency Sandbox that gives users a dedicated workspace to test, compare, and understand document extraction behavior before applying it in automations. Users can select a document type, upload a document, define page ranges, and extract AI-suggested or user-defined terms to establish a baseline result. From there, multiple experiments can be created to compare outcomes across different models, helping teams better understand extraction behavior and make informed configuration choices. This capability improves visibility into how document data is interpreted and supports more confident use of Intelligent Document Processing across real-world document scenarios.
  • Support for Extracting Checked Checkbox Values from PDFs: HuLoop now supports extracting text associated with checked checkboxes in PDF documents. This enhancement enables automations to identify which options are selected on forms and return the corresponding line or label text, even when multiple checkboxes are checked. This supports accurate handling when working with form-based PDFs where checkbox selections are required as part of downstream processing.

Workflow Orchestration & Notifications

  • Added Messaging Node for Workflow Notifications: HuLoop introduces a dedicated Messaging Node in the Workflow Builder, enabling workflows to send email notifications as a standalone step. This allows designers to trigger messages directly within a workflow. Message content and recipients can be configured using static values or workflow variables, supporting configurable communication aligned with workflow progress.

Quality & Reliability Improvements

This release continues HuLoop’s focus on strengthening execution stability, control flow, and reporting clarity across automation scenarios. The improvements in this section refine how automations behave across desktop, web, API, CLI, and workflow-driven executions, helping ensure predictable behavior, accurate reporting, and smoother configuration management as automations scale and evolve. Together, these updates reinforce day-to-day reliability without changing existing automation design or usage patterns.

Desktop Automation Stability across Environments

  • More Consistent Element Targeting in RDP-Published Desktop Applications: HuLoop improves the consistency of element identification when automations interact with desktop applications accessed through RDP-published environments. This update strengthens how UI elements are detected and targeted during execution, helping ensure that automation steps reliably identify the intended tiles and controls across repeated runs. The enhancement supports more predictable desktop automation behavior in environments where UI rendering and accessibility can vary between sessions.
  • Strengthened desktop automation execution across supported environments: HuLoop reinforces desktop automation execution by improving compatibility handling across different system architectures. These refinements ensure consistent value capture during desktop automation runs, supporting predictable behavior when automations interact with application UI elements across varied runtime environments.
  • Improved Reliability for Desktop Automation Executed via CLI: HuLoop improves the reliability of desktop application automation when executed through the CLI. Desktop automations that rely on local drivers now launch and execute consistently through CLI-based runs, aligning behavior with agent-based execution. This update supports more dependable execution paths for teams using CLI-driven desktop automation workflows.

Predictable Control Flow and Execution Logic

    • Improved Handling of Nested Loop Exit Conditions: HuLoop improves execution behavior for scenarios involving nested loops and conditional logic. In specific cases where a BREAK statement was used within a loop inside an IF block, subsequent conditional steps could execute in an unexpected order. This behavior has been addressed through validated execution guidance, helping teams apply nested control logic in a way that aligns with current execution behavior.

Workflow and IPA Execution Visibility

  • Clearer IPA Execution Details in Workflow History: HuLoop refines how IPA execution details are displayed within workflow instance history. Execution duration, date, and related task information are now presented in a more consistent and complete manner, supporting clearer visibility into workflow activity. This refinement helps users review IPA executions with greater clarity when monitoring and validating workflow behavior.

Reporting Accuracy and Interpretability

  • Clearer Labeling for Suite and Test Case Counts in Reports: HuLoop improves clarity in automation reports by aligning report labels with the values they represent. The summary view now correctly reflects the total number of test cases executed, avoiding confusion between suite-level and case-level counts. This update helps ensure report summaries are easier to interpret during execution review and analysis.
  • Improved Visibility of Browser Parameters in Execution Reports: HuLoop improves how browser launch parameters are represented in automation reports. Execution reports now display resolved parameter information more clearly while continuing to protect sensitive values through masking and encryption. This refinement supports easier verification of browser configuration during execution review without exposing credentials or sensitive data.

Configuration and Parameter Handling Stability

  • Consistent Creation and Reuse of Reusable Components: HuLoop refines how reusable components are created and referenced across projects. In certain scenarios, components could appear available without all related locator details being consistently reflected. This behavior has been addressed to ensure reusable components are created with their related locators intact, supporting predictable reuse and smoother maintenance across automation projects.
  • Improved Stability When Updating Global Parameters in Automations: HuLoop improves the stability of global parameter handling when updating automation configurations. Updates to shared parameters such as application URLs used across test cases, now persist reliably after saving, without unexpected value changes. This refinement helps ensure that parameter updates remain consistent across test suites and environments, supporting smoother automation maintenance and execution.

Compatibility & Requirements

There are no environment changes, version dependencies, or browser limitations in this release. Existing configurations continue to be fully supported.
