Major Update of the Extra Horizon Dispatcher Service & More

Hi there,

We are thrilled to share some major updates and enhancements to the Extra Horizon Dispatcher Service, along with a few other exciting developments! These updates are designed to empower you to create even more dynamic and efficient workflows within Extra Horizon.

Major Update of the Extra Horizon Dispatcher Service

How the Dispatcher Service works

If you are familiar with our Event Service, you know it’s in charge of communicating the occurrence of specific types of events. The Dispatcher Service, however, allows you to act on these events. Here a few examples of real-life scenarios:

Example 1: you want to ensure all PII data is removed from your cluster when a user deletes their account.

• Action: the Dispatcher Service receives a "user_deleted" event and schedules a Task to eliminate PII, such as in the Data Service.

Example 2: you want to send a new welcome email to newly registered users

• Action: the Dispatcher Service subscribes to a "user_created" event, and upon receiving it, schedules a Task (e.g., "newUserCommunicationTask") to send a welcome email

For more information and details about these updated features, read our Dispatchers Service documentation.

NEW: Managing dispatchers via the Extra Horizon CLI 🔃

• Synchronize locally declared dispatchers with existing ones
• Automatically tag CLI-managed dispatchers with "EXH_CLI_MANAGED"
• Delete CLI-managed dispatchers not present in the local Dispatchers file

New security setting: Non-Browser Viewable Files

We've introduced a new security setting in the File Service, allowing customers to determine which file types can be viewed directly in their browser and which ones should be downloaded locally. 

This enhancement involves the addition of a settings endpoint in the File Service, featuring this array:

• "disableForceDownloadForMimeTypes." 

Users can customize this array to specify their preferences:

• ['image/png', 'application/pdf']: Permits browser viewing of PNG and PDF files.
• ['*/*']: Enables browser viewing for all file types.
• []: Disables browser viewing for all files, prompting local downloads instead.
