Import or Export Workflows with Custom Steps
As all workflow builders know, building custom steps with Torq's Step Builder (and other customizing options) is an innovative and flexible way to meet your organization's specific needs. Now, when importing and exporting a workflow containing custom steps or integrations, those steps/integrations will also be added and available within the destination workspace.

Bulk Update Cases Custom Fields
We’ve improved the Set a Custom Field's Value step to allow multiple custom fields to be updated in a single execution. As a result, the step has been renamed to Set Custom Fields Values.
You can now use the Input mode dropdown to select whether to update a single field or multiple fields. To update multiple fields, provide the key-value pairs in JSON format.
Note that if you have workflows triggered by the Custom Field Updated cases trigger scenario, the trigger event will differ when using the option to modify multiple fields.
Torq’s Service API Key: Unlock Secure and Consistent Access
Create a Service API key to eliminate your workspace's reliance on user presence. Private API keys are liable to break should a user be removed from a workspace. This is solved by introducing Service API keys, which are associated with the workspace they belong to, not to any one user, and created by an Owner of the workspace.
The process is simple: go to your API key page and toggle from Private to Service. Pick the appropriate role for the key's access level, and click Create. The API key will now be accessible for any workflow within the workspace and will not break even if the creating user is removed.
Manage Permissions for Case Deletions
We've introduced a new RBAC scope, cm.case.delete
, allowing you to create custom roles without case deletion permissions.
By contacting Torq support, you can create a custom analyst role without deletion permissions, ensuring only authorized team members can delete cases.
All Torq roles with case management write access have been updated to include this new scope, ensuring they retain their previous abilities without any changes.
For more details on roles and scopes, visit our Knowledge Base.
Automatically Create Cases from JSON Objects
Use the Create a Case from JSON step to generate cases by passing attributes in JSON format.
This step offers more flexibility than the standard Create a Case step, allowing you to define additional attributes like custom fields, custom SLA timers, quick actions, and a runbook within the JSON object.
A detailed JSON input example is available in the knowledge base and within the step itself.

Streamline Investigations with AI-Generated Case Summaries
You can now leverage the AI-generated case summary in the Overview tab of each case to streamline your investigations. Designed for clarity, the summary highlights essential details such as key events, critical timestamps, potential impacts, and significant indicators.
The summary, drawing from various case attributes—including the case description, observables, notes, and timeline comments—is automatically updated with every major change.
More information is available in our knowledge base.
Set the Informational Severity Level for Cases
In addition to the severity levels of Low, Medium, High, and Critical, you now have the option to set the severity of cases to Informational. This level is intended for non-threatening events that provide relevant context and details, such as software updates, non-critical alerts from third-party systems, routine user activity, and more.
Case Notes Improvements: Quick Access and Public Visibility
We've implemented the following enhancements to notes in cases:
- Mark a Note as Key: Mark a note as key to make it visible in the case Overview tab. This ensures that anyone reviewing the case can quickly access important information.
- Mark a Note as Public: Mark a note as public to indicate its potential communication with external stakeholders. When retrieved, the note's visibility status is displayed, allowing you to automatically share the comment outside of Torq case management. For more details, refer to our knowledge base.
Torq Interactions: Enhance User-Centric Automations by Adding Dynamic Conditions
We’ve added advanced logic directly into your Torq Interactions. Enhance the end-user experience by dynamically presenting questions and information based on live responses. This dramatically reduces form completion and creation time and increases accuracy and user-centricity.
Insert conditional elements in your Interactions using the Condition element under Control Elements. Create a condition and drag relevant display and input elements under your conditional. These elements will only be shown should the condition be met.
By placing elements under a condition, you receive ultimate specificity within your Torq Interactions and can dynamically adjust your automated interactions with all possible scenarios.
Control Cases Visibility with New RBAC Scopes
We've added two new RBAC scopes to provide more granular control over case visibility: cases.read.attr.assigned.to.others
and cases.read.attr.unassigned
.
You can use these scopes to create custom roles with tailored visibility controls. For example, by reaching out to Torq support, you can easily set up a role that restricts users from viewing cases not assigned to them, boosting security and safeguarding sensitive cases.
All Torq roles with case management access have been updated to include the new scopes, maintaining the same visibility to all workspace cases as before. Additionally, all users with case management access will always have visibility into cases assigned to them.
For more details on roles and scopes, visit our Knowledge Base.
Boost Case Investigation Efficiency with the New UI Infrastructure
The new infrastructure for the Cases page UI significantly enhances performance, boosting user efficiency. Our upgraded interface delivers faster load and response times for a smoother, more streamlined experience.
All functionality remains the same—everything you could do in the older version can still be done exactly the same way in the new version. All cases and related data remain intact; this is purely a UI infrastructure change.
The Cases page is the core of SOC operations. To ensure a seamless experience for analysts, both views will remain accessible throughout the transition period. The navigation bar now includes both options: Cases and Cases [Legacy]. Enjoy the enhanced features of the new infrastructure, but if needed, you can easily switch back to the older version at any time.

Allow Analysts to Cancel Cases Tasks
Torq is always looking for ways to save analysts' time. Our newest update does just that: it reduces cognitive load and minimizes unnecessary workflow executions with a simple checkbox.
Allow analysts to cancel Cases tasks:
- When configuring the settings of an Interaction Flow, you can check the box Allow end-users to cancel tasks.
- Analysts can then "delete" pending tasks and redo the handling process should they need to start handling a case from scratch.
- Upon canceling a pending task, the related workflow execution will also be stopped.
Additionally, we've updated the timeout for tasks and Interaction web pages. Now, you can select to cancel workflow executions entirely upon timeout.
- If a task or web page is not completed or submitted within the set time, the related workflow execution will automatically be stopped.
- To enable the timeout, check the Stop workflow execution box when configuring the Interaction Flow settings.
PS: Check out the new Expand button and start reading tasks without squinting.

Access Organization-Level Administrative Data
You can now track key metrics and information about your organization’s workspaces in Torq using the Organization Management page.
This page, accessible to users with the Organization Manager role, allows them to view the complete list of workspaces, identify workspace owners, and monitor key metrics related to the Torq license without needing to be members of every workspace. This setup enhances administrative oversight and helps optimize your organization’s use of Torq.
If the Organization Management page isn’t visible in your workspaces list, contact Torq support to have it set up for your organization.
More information is available in our knowledge base.
Streamline Data Management with Torq Tables
Use table workspace variables to manage data that is best presented in tabular form. These variables enable simple visualization and enhance data clarity and accessibility, streamlining your work and increasing efficiency.
- Use the Create a Workspace Variable step and select the table data type, or navigate to the Workspace Variables page to create a table workspace variable.
- Perform actions on tables automatically using workflow steps or manually from the Workspace Variables page.
- Use the System Events > Variable updated trigger to execute workflows upon table updates.
