What is Lime Connect?
Lime Connect is fusing its AI agent with its workflow engine, one release at a time
Lime Connect ships a bundled changelog every few weeks, and nearly every entry touches the same two systems: Connect AI and Workflows. The recent run is operational maturity — knowledge-base files can be renamed and counted against limits, website sources report crawl failures and next sync time, execution history is filterable by operator and rating, and workflow nodes support delays and timeouts. Enterprise plumbing arrived alongside it with per-role SSO and SCIM in beta.
What is Twenty?
Twenty's ORM v2 migration is down to permission and repository edge cases
The two newest tags are single-line fixes on the ORM v2 rewrite: an orphaned mirrored-field permission blocking relation field updates, and findAndCount missing from the ORM v2 workspace repository. They follow the same-day cluster pattern this feed always shows, where the version tag carries a one-line title and the substance sits in the referenced PR.

Lime Connect
5.0CRM
Lime Connect is fusing its AI agent with its workflow engine, one release at a time
◆ Current state
Lime Connect ships a bundled changelog every few weeks, and nearly every entry touches the same two systems: Connect AI and Workflows. The recent run is operational maturity — knowledge-base files can be renamed and counted against limits, website sources report crawl failures and next sync time, execution history is filterable by operator and rating, and workflow nodes support delays and timeouts. Enterprise plumbing arrived alongside it with per-role SSO and SCIM in beta.
◆ Where it's heading
The two halves of the product are converging. Agents can trigger workflows, workflows can route to an operator chosen from a variable, and the agent can read the page a contact is currently viewing before answering. That combination moves the agent from answering out of a knowledge base toward acting inside defined processes, with the workflow engine as the guardrail. Most of the surrounding work is observability — execution history, activity logs, transcripts showing which AI action fired — which is what a vendor builds when customers are letting the agent act unsupervised.
◆ Prediction
Expect the observability layer to turn into evaluation: ratings, execution history, and per-action transcripts are the ingredients for measuring agent quality, and nothing yet reports on them in aggregate. Continued WhatsApp and campaign channel work is likely given how consistently it appears in every bundle.

7.5CRM
Twenty's ORM v2 migration is down to permission and repository edge cases
◆ Current state
The two newest tags are single-line fixes on the ORM v2 rewrite: an orphaned mirrored-field permission blocking relation field updates, and findAndCount missing from the ORM v2 workspace repository. They follow the same-day cluster pattern this feed always shows, where the version tag carries a one-line title and the substance sits in the referenced PR.
◆ Where it's heading
Nearly every tag in this window traces back to the ORM v2 migration — relation-keyed where clauses, quoted aliases, dropped validator specs, repository methods being backfilled as callers hit them. That is the signature of a rewrite in its long tail: the shape is settled and what remains is discovering which methods and permission paths were missed.
◆ Prediction
On this pattern the ORM v2 fixes keep arriving one missing method or permission path at a time until the callers stop finding gaps; no new feature surface is visible in the release stream.
