Trusted email sending for workflows
You can allow your assistant or any workflow to send email to pre-approved addresses or domains without an extra approval step each time—so recurring sends like digests, onboarding sequences, or client check-ins can run end-to-end while you keep control of who is allowed to receive mail.
Trigger workflows from a webhook
Any workflow can be started by an HTTP webhook, so tools that can post a request—Zapier, Make, scripts, or internal systems—can kick off Town automatically when something happens elsewhere.
Dial up assistant autonomy when you’re ready
Settings now let you ease approval requirements for actions like web research and file access when you trust your assistant to move faster, with the option to tighten controls again anytime.

Desktop and Town Decks anchored the week, then the product sprint went wide: Home and the sidebar got attention rails and polish, calendar and onboarding tightened, and messaging work spanned Gmail draft clarity, iMessage attachments, and Slack approvals you can actually read.
