Long-Running Process Support

Frends already enables powerful Business Process Automation, including support for long-running workflows. Today, these are typically built as multiple interdependent Frends processes, each handling a step in the journey. While effective, the logic often lives across several process definitions — making the big picture harder to follow.

This new feature brings it all together.

Now, you can model the entire business process — even long-running, asynchronous flows — in a single visual BPMN diagram. It’s not just technically streamlined; it’s also easier for business stakeholders to understand, follow, and trust.

Frends processes can pause, wait, and continue across long time. This new feature set allows you to chain multiple Frends processes together using correlation identifiers, making long-running and event-driven workflows a breeze.

Imagine a process that starts today and continues when a file arrives next week. That’s now possible — with full-state persistence.

What’s new:

⛓️ Chained Process Execution
You can link separate Frends processes together using correlation variables (like an OrderID). Each part can run independently — days or weeks apart — but stay logically connected.

⏱️ Timer Shape
A brand new BPMN shape that lets you pause a process for a specified time. Think “sleep until next Tuesday.”

📨 Wait for Signal Shape
Pause your process until an external signal tells it to resume — whether from the same process or another one entirely.

📡 Send Signal Shape
Send a signal to resume a specific paused process instance — great for connecting async flows.

🧠 Stateful and Durable
All data is saved between steps, meaning your paused processes remember everything — securely and reliably. You decide the persistence point - this way we do not sacrifice the performance.


Why it matters:

Flexible Orchestration
Break down big processes into manageable parts that sync on your terms.

Async Made Easy
Handle scenarios with variable delays — like external approvals or delayed data inputs.

Low-Code, High Power
All of this happens right inside the familiar BPMN Editor.

Frends Agentic AI: MCP Trigger

Today, Frends orchestrates complex business processes and integrations — but what if your AI agents could discover and call those processes as tools? With Frends MCP Trigger, you can expose any Frends Process as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool, making your automation workflows instantly discoverable and callable by AI agents. No custom APIs, no middleware — just configure a trigger, and your processes become intelligent tools that AI can orchestrate on demand.

How It Works

The MCP Trigger transforms Frends Processes into standardized tools that follow the Model Context Protocol specification. When you add an MCP Trigger to a Process, you define its tool signature — including name, description, input schema, and optional output schema. Frends automatically exposes an MCP-compliant endpoint (e.g., https://agent-host/mcp) that responds to JSON-RPC requests from AI agents.

Example scenario: An AI assistant needs to check inventory levels and create purchase orders. Instead of building custom integrations, it discovers your "CheckInventory" and "CreatePurchaseOrder" Processes via MCP's tools/list call, reads their schemas, and executes them via tools/call — all secured by Frends API Policies. The AI agent gets structured responses, logs every action, and your business logic stays centralized in Frends.

This feature lays the foundation for Agentic AI orchestration — where AI agents autonomously compose and execute business workflows using your existing Frends Processes as building blocks.


What's new:

🤖 MCP Trigger Configuration — Define your Process as an AI-callable tool with name, description, input/output schemas, and behavioral annotations (read-only, idempotent, destructive).

🔍 Automatic Tool Discovery — AI agents can query tools/list to discover all available Frends Processes exposed as MCP tools, complete with schemas and metadata. Each Frends Agent then act as an own MCP Server.

📞 JSON-RPC Tool Execution — Agents call your Processes via standardized tools/call requests, passing parameters and receiving structured responses.

🛡️ API Policy-Based Authentication — Secure MCP endpoints using Frends API Policies with virtual URL routing (/mcp/<call>/<identifier>), ensuring only authorized agents can discover and execute tools.

📋 Schema-Driven Contracts — Define JSON Schema for inputs and outputs, enabling AI agents to validate parameters and understand response structures before execution.

🎯 Behavioral Annotations — Mark tools as read-only, idempotent, destructive, or open-world, helping AI agents make informed decisions about when and how to use them.


Why it matters:

C-Level / Business Impact: Unlock AI-driven automation without building custom agent infrastructure — reduce time-to-market for intelligent workflows and maximize ROI on existing Frends investments.

Architect / Technical Value: Achieve full governance and auditability for AI agent actions — every tool call is logged, secured, and traceable through Frends' existing monitoring and API management.

Developer Experience: Expose Processes as AI tools with zero custom code — just configure a trigger, define schemas, and let AI agents orchestrate your workflows visually and transparently.

Future Direction: Establishes the foundation for Agentic AI orchestration — where autonomous agents compose, execute, and optimize business processes using Frends as the intelligent automation backbone.

After hundreds of customer votes and requests, Frends is getting a brand-new Visual Data Mapper — bringing a faster, more intuitive way to transform data between formats and schemas. No more fiddling with manual logic or raw JSON — just drag, drop, and let the platform do the heavy lifting.

Whether you're working with APIs, files, or internal data structures, mapping fields is now visual, smart, and low-code friendly.

What’s new:

📄 Automatic Schema Detection
Paste in your JSON, XML, or other structured data — Frends will infer the schema instantly, so you can start mapping right away.

🧠 AI-Assisted Mapping
Use the built-in AI Assistant to auto-generate mappings between source and target structures. Just say “map this to that” — and watch it go.

🧩 Low-Code Support
Need more control? You can still apply C# logic to any field or transformation, just like in existing Frends processes.

Why it matters:

Faster Integrations
Skip the boilerplate — go straight from data source to output with visual clarity.

Business-Friendly
Non-developers can now participate in data mapping without touching a line of code.

AI + Low-Code = 🔥
Let AI handle the boring bits, then tweak the logic exactly how you need.

Enchanced Low-Code Development Experience

Frends already empowers users with powerful low-code configuration capabilities, enabling visual integration design through BPMN 2.0 and AI-assisted development. Today, users can create integrations using our intuitive platform with LLM-based code generation, task configuration, and visual data mapping. While effective, developers often need to write custom C# code for complex data transformations, loops, and conditional logic — making development more technical than it needs to be.

This enhanced low-code experience takes our proven approach to the next level.

Now, you can handle even the most complex data scenarios without writing a single line of C#. From automatic schema detection to native support for loops and conditional statements — it's all built right into the familiar low-code interface that business technologists and developers already love.

What's new:

🔍 Automatic Data Schema Detection

Today, teams can test specific tasks and processes in isolation, ensuring code quality at the component level. While effective for catching basic issues, testing complex integration workflows end-to-end often requires manual processes, custom test logic, or external tools — making it challenging to ensure integrations work reliably across entire business processes.

This new native capability brings comprehensive test automation directly into the platform.

Now, you can visually design, manage, and automate complex test scenarios for your entire integration workflows — all without leaving Frends. With an intuitive "paint-to-test" approach, simply select any part of your integration, provide test data, and define success criteria. It's testing made as visual and accessible as the integrations themselves.

What's new:

🎨 Paint-to-Test Interface

Business Domain Workspaces

Frends provides powerful process management capabilities with comprehensive monitoring, access controls, and organizational tools. Today, users can manage processes, subprocesses, and APIs through traditional list views with filtering and search capabilities. While effective for smaller deployments, organizations with hundreds or thousands of integrations face information overload, siloed operations, and difficulty maintaining business context across diverse domains.

This revolutionary organizational layer changes everything.

Now, you can organize your entire integration landscape around business domains rather than technical artifacts. Create intelligent workspaces like "HR Processes," "ERP Integrations," or "Customer Onboarding" that automatically group related integrations and provide domain-specific governance, monitoring, and business value tracking — all while maintaining the technical power you expect from Frends.

What's new:

🏢 Business-Aligned Workspaces

Frends Agentic AI: Intelligent AI Connector with MCP tools and reasoning

Today's Frends Intelligent AI Connector executes prompts — you send input, get output, move on. But what if your AI could think, reason, and learn across multiple steps? Frends Intelligent AI Connector v2 transforms single-shot AI execution into true Agentic orchestration. Now your AI doesn't just respond — it reasons through problems, dynamically calls MCP tools, remembers context across steps, and adapts its approach until it achieves the goal. This is AI that acts like a teammate, not just a function call.

How It Works

The Intelligent AI Connector v2 introduces ReAct-style reasoning loops directly into your BPMN flows. When the AI Connector executes, it doesn't just run once — it enters a reason-act-observe cycle, where it evaluates the situation, selects and calls MCP tools, analyzes results, and continues reasoning until it completes the task or reaches your configured depth limit.

Example scenario: An order arrives with incomplete shipping data. The AI Connector reasons: "I need postal code validation." It browses available MCP tools, discovers your "ValidateAddress" Process, calls it, receives a corrected address, then reasons again: "Now I can route to the correct warehouse." It calls "SelectWarehouse," evaluates inventory, and finally triggers "CreateShipment" — all autonomously, with full audit trails. If you assign a memory chain (e.g., chain:orderProcessing), subsequent AI steps in the same process run remember previous decisions, creating truly adaptive workflows.

Before execution, you see estimated Frends Credits consumption based on your model choice, reasoning depth, and expected context size — no surprises, full cost transparency.

This positions Frends as the most advanced AI orchestration layer in the iPaaS market — where AI doesn't just integrate systems, it thinks, reasons, and improves.


What's new:

🧠 ReAct Reasoning Loops — AI performs iterative reason-act-observe cycles, dynamically refining its approach until task completion or depth limit reached.

🔧 Visual MCP Tool Selection — Browse and select MCP-exposed Frends Processes directly in the AI Connector UI — no manual API configuration or trigger chaining required.

🧵 Memory Chaining — Assign named memory contexts (e.g., chain:customer) so AI steps remember and build on previous reasoning within the same process run.

🎚️ Configurable Reasoning Depth — Set max reasoning iterations (1-10 levels) per connector, balancing execution speed, intelligence, and cost.

💰 Frends Credits Estimation — See real-time cost preview before execution, dynamically calculated from model selection, reasoning depth, and context size.

📊 Transparent Reasoning Traces — Every reasoning step, MCP tool call, and decision is logged and auditable — full visibility into AI's thought process.


Why it matters:

C-Level / Business Impact: Deploy adaptive, self-improving automation that reduces manual intervention by over 70% — AI handles exceptions, refines decisions, and learns from context, delivering measurable ROI with predictable costs.

Architect / Technical Value: Achieve full governance over AI reasoning — every loop iteration, tool call, and memory access is traced, secured via API Policies, and auditable for compliance and debugging.

Developer Experience: Build intelligent workflows visually — no custom AI orchestration code, no manual prompt chaining, just drag, configure depth and memory, and let AI reason through complexity.

Future Direction: Establishes the foundation for self-optimizing processes — where AI continuously learns from execution history, adapts to changing conditions, and evolves business logic autonomously

Frends Agentic AI: Frends Native AI Task

Current Frends can run prompts in ChatGPT tasks, but next, AI will go native in Frends. With our upcoming Native AI Task feature, you can embed Large Language Models (LLMs) like Azure OpenAI directly into your integration processes — no external services, no custom glue code. Just drag, drop, and orchestrate AI like any other BPMN task. You can also use pre-trained AI models from Hugging Face, which are easily available.

By orchestrating prompts together with Frends Tasks and Connectors, you can take the first step of the Agentic AI Approach.

  • BPMN 2.0 with AI Native Tasks enables AI Orchestrations. Practically, you can implement the thought process of an employee as steps and decisions. 
  • Frends Triggers already cover every system - so triggering the through process specific to an input is now possible. 
  • Pour in Frends APIs in the thought process as actions of the AI employee. 

For example 

A support mail triggers a Frends AI process. Initial categorization is done with an LLM prompt. Is it a billing issue? Is it a tech incident or an access problem? Or a service request? Frends BPMN2.0 exclusive decision then routes the process to a corresponding path. If it is a tech incident, the next LLM step can be done. Itil Categorization with a pre-trained existing model in the next single LLM prompt step. If the AI step is prompted to gather logs, Frends basic Task will do that. The whole process for multiple different ticket cases can be written as a series of prompts, decisions, and actions. Future Frends features will expand the AI steps to do the API calls internally inside the AI step and even enable the Computer Use Access to finalize the Agentic AI path. These two steps will be included later on in our roadmap. With Native AI Task, you can already start your agentic AI journey. 

What’s new:

🧠 Native AI Shapes
Drop AI tasks directly into your BPMN flows. Build chat-like logic, classification steps, or dynamic decisions with zero code.

🔗 Prompt Chaining
Connect multiple AI steps in a single process — each using the output of the last to create intelligent, context-aware flows.

🚀 Pre-Trained Models
