What's in Automate MFT 1.18?

July 20, 2026

Feature enhancements

IMAP endpoint support

Automate MFT now supports IMAP endpoints, enabling tasks to download and process email attachments from supported mail servers. Attachments downloaded from IMAP mailboxes can be processed as files within Automate MFT workflows and support standard file filtering capabilities. Additional email metadata macros are available, allowing workflows to access information such as the source email subject and body content.
Note: IMAP endpoints can only be used as source endpoints. Attachments can be processed, but email messages themselves are not transferred as files.

For more information, see IMAP Endpoint.

Recycle Bin

Automate MFT now includes a Recycle Bin that provides recovery capabilities for deleted resources. Instead of being permanently removed immediately, deleted items are moved to the Recycle Bin and retained for a configurable period.

For more information, see Recycle Bin.

Support for email macro for renaming and alerting

New macros are now available for use with email-related task data. You can use [EmailSubject] to reference the subject line of an email, [EmailTextContent] for the plain-text body, and [EmailHtmlContent] for the HTML body. An additional convenience macro, [EmailContent], evaluates to the plain-text body if available, falls back to the HTML body, or resolves to an empty string if neither is present..

For more information, see Macros for renaming and alerting.

Improved UI performance of resource selection dialogs

Automate MFT now uses server-side searching, filtering, and pagination across resource selection dialogs used throughout the product. This improves performance and reduces browser memory usage in environments containing large numbers of endpoints, authentication methods, scripts, keys, certificates, and other reusable resources. Supported dialogs also allow creation of new resources directly from the selection experience.
