[Integration] OData in Apps (In Preview)
We’re thrilled to announce a significant leap forward in our native SAP integration capabilities! Our new OData Connector and Data Service Activity now support both OData Version 4 and Version 2, opening up a world of possibilities. We’ve also transformed the way OData is consumed, shifting from server-side to client-side processing to better align with the OpenUI5 Standard. This change brings a fresh and dynamic integration experience to our users. (Read more)
[User Experience] Easily integrate OData Services as value help in your Applications
In MAKERS CHOICE 25-03, we have already introduced the integrated value help and suggestions based on Business Object output or Variables. Now the usage of OData services as value help is also integrated, bringing user guidance, increasing data quality, and speeding up the identification of the correct values to the next level. (Read more)
[Interaction] Build and deploy your Applications to the Apple App Store within App Editor (In Preview)
Finally, deploying your Applications as an iOS/iPadOS App into the Apple App Store is directly integrated in the App Editor.

Now, this Authentication Flow is also available for Connectors! Integrating M365 shared inboxes, writing and reading files from OneDrive or SharePoint with generic users, sending Teams Messages as a Bot, using the Microsoft Graph API in workflows, … – All those use cases are easier to implement than ever! No need to obtain and handle bearer tokens manually anymore! Just configure the Login Method, add it to your endpoints, and let Simplifier do the magic! This means more time to focus on the important things. (Read more)
Released with MAKERS CHOICE 25-07
[Accessibility] Business AI with Simplifier
Infusing your Applications with AI is not a question of whether, but when. With Simplifier, you already have all the possibilities to enhance your Applications with local AI and AI Services. But we are convinced we can drive the adoption of your business cases even more by introducing Business AI to Simplifier. Besides using AI in creating Applications, Business Objects, or translating Workflows during creation, Business AI focuses on integrating all the AI possibilities for all the users of your Applications.
Welcome our new ‘AI Action’ Shape in the Process Designer, to easily use AI within Applications. As a start, we added our AI Translation Service to the Shape, empowering you to translate, e.g., a Connector’s output into the user’s language before displaying it. You can now make sure that your end-users can not only enjoy Applications in their mother language, but also their data! This increases the quality of your processes in multi-national environments, no matter if the users are blue-collar workers, white-collar workers, process experts, IT experts, or anybody else. (Read more)
But that’s not all! Our Business AI Features are also available in Server-Side Business Objects via our SBO API (Read more) and even our Client REST-API (Read more)!
[Integration] Use Microsoft Exchange Online with OAuth to send emails
Microsoft will end the support of Basic auth with Client Submission (SMTP AUTH) starting March 1st, 2026 (Read more). Sending emails is a crucial feature in many of our customers’ use cases. To enable you to have a seamless transition of sending emails via our Email-Shape, SBO-API, and System-Emails, we have integrated the modern OAuth client-credentials flow in our SMTP-Server Settings. (Read more)
[Interaction] Build and deploy your Applications to the Google Play Store within App Editor (Experimental)
Now, deploying your Applications as an Android App into the Google Play Store is directly integrated in the App Editor.

Released with MAKERS CHOICE 25-05
[Accessibility] Translate your Workflows with AI
Translating your workflow has become as easy as never before. Besides translating your Workflow manually or with our Import/Export feature, you can now also unleash the power of AI, speeding up translations drastically.
And the best, you do not need to decide which translation service is best. Just let our AI Cloud Translation service do the work. (Read more)
[Interaction] Create Mobile Standalone Builds of your Applications (experimental)
Executing your Applications on mobile devices is as simple as it can be using our Mobile Client. But when it comes to providing your app in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, you need to build a standalone mobile application and deploy it to the stores. Our experimental self-service completely simplifies the build and deployment of such mobile applications. There is no need to create any build projects with Xcode or Android Studio, no need to know anything about Cordova, or how these projects are structured and built. Just start the build and deploy process and let our service do the work, saving you a lot of time. (Read more)
[User Experience] Execution performance of Server-side Business Objects improved by up to 300%
Especially when mass processing Server-side Business Objects functions and in cases with a high automation rate, the execution performance is crucial. Therefore, we have increased the maximum possible load of Server-side Business Objects even more. Now execute up to three times as many Business Object functions as before. The higher the load, the higher the advantage!
[Automation] Map constants in Workflow Designer
Long wanted and finally there – Our powerful Workflow Engine got even better. Now, also map constants within the Workflow Designer, speeding up Workflow creation.
Released with MAKERS CHOICE 25-03

General Upgrade Instructions for Simplifier 10 LTS
Will be published with release of Simplifier 10.
Manual Changes that should already be done before upgrading to Simplifier 10 LTS
Allow *.simplifier.cloud in firewall
Simplifier requires access to *.simplifier.cloud domains to make all features available. Please allow access to *.simplifier.cloud in your firewall settings. (Read more)
Replace Captcha Plugin
Our Captcha Plugin is deprecated and will be removed with Simplifier 10 from the plugin list in our default installation/upgrade guides. If you are using the Plugin, you should start replacing it now so you do not have to change your applications under time pressure.
AI and similar techniques can already solve captchas. So check if other solutions like rate limits fit your use case better. If you want to stick to captchas, check our Knowledge Base on ‘How to use Google reCAPTCHA v3 Essentials‘ for an alternative solution (Read more).
Activate enhanced security (optional)
Activate enhanced security for Business Objects, Templates, and Plugins, if you have deactivated them. (See documentation)
Please check if your roles are set up accordingly and contain execution permission for all required Server-side Business Objects, read permission for all the necessary Templates as well as the relevant Plugin Permissions. Take care that you explicitly use your app-relevant/project roles during testing (and not Standard-Roles like SF_Developer or SF_Administrator).
Check your SSL certificates for hosts used by your Proxy Connectors
The new Proxy Connector does not allow invalid SSL certificates if the hostname does not match the SSL certificate’s hostname. Please check the SSL certificates for all hosts of your current Proxy Connectors, if they allow invalid SSL certificates (Read more).
Manual Changes to be done after upgrading to Simplifier 10 LTS
Refresh License
Refresh the license on your instances to benefit from our new AI Cloud services (Read more).
Update Standard Content
Update Standard Content to ensure you have all current fixes and features available on your instances. (Download for Simplifier 9 here; Download for Simplifier 10 will be published with Simplifier 10)
Please check the endpoint of AppWizard Connector, Standard Workflow Connectors, Login, and Captcha Connector. (Read more)
Manual Changes to be done after upgrading to Simplifier 10 LTS and before upgrading to Simplifier 11 LTS

Deprecated since MAKERS CHOICE 25-08; Removal with Simplifier 11
[Integration] Parameter ‘parametrized’ on calling Business Objects within Scripts and Client-Side Business Objects
When calling Server-Side Business Objects within Scripts or Client-Side Business Objects, the developer was able to deactivate the input validation by setting the API’s parameter ‘parametrized’ to false. This parameter is now deprecated. You can already deactivate the parameter in the Feature Settings.
Deprecated since MAKERS CHOICE 25-07; Removal with Simplifier 11/MAKERS CHOICE 25-12
[Integration] Javascript execution in PDFs created by PDF Plugin
Currently, it is possible to add Javascript to PDFs created by PDF Plugin. This is a potential risk for Server Side XSS (PDF Injection) and Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF).

System Requirement Changes Simplifier 10 LTS
Currently, there are no new system requirements.
General Upgrade Instructions for Simplifier 10 LTS
Will be published with release of Simplifier 10.
Manual Changes that should already be done before upgrading to Simplifier 10 LTS
Allow *.simplifier.cloud in firewall
Simplifier requires access to *.simplifier.cloud domains to make all features available. Please allow access to *.simplifier.cloud in your firewall settings. (Read more)
Replace Captcha Plugin
Our Captcha Plugin is deprecated and will be removed with Simplifier 10 from the plugin list in our default installation/upgrade guides. If you are using the Plugin, you should start replacing it now so you do not have to change your applications under time pressure.
AI and similar techniques can already solve captchas. So check if other solutions like rate limits fit your use case better. If you want to stick to captchas, check our Knowledge Base on ‘How to use Google reCAPTCHA v3 Essentials‘ for an alternative solution (Read more).
Activate enhanced security (optional)
Activate enhanced security for Business Objects, Templates, and Plugins, if you have deactivated them. (See documentation)
Please check if your roles are set up accordingly and contain execution permission for all required Server-side Business Objects, read permission for all the necessary Templates as well as the relevant Plugin Permissions. Take care that you explicitly use your app-relevant/project roles during testing (and not Standard-Roles like SF_Developer or SF_Administrator).
Check your SSL certificates for hosts used by your Proxy Connectors
The new Proxy Connector does not allow invalid SSL certificates if the hostname does not match the SSL certificate’s hostname. Please check the SSL certificates for all hosts of your current Proxy Connectors, if they allow invalid SSL certificates (Read more).
Manual Changes to be done after upgrading to Simplifier 10 LTS
Refresh License
Refresh the license on your instances to benefit from our new AI Cloud services (Read more).
Update Standard Content
Update Standard Content to ensure you have all current fixes and features available on your instances. (Download for Simplifier 9 here; Download for Simplifier 10 will be published with Simplifier 10)
Please check the endpoint of AppWizard Connector, Standard Workflow Connectors, Login, and Captcha Connector. (Read more)
Manual Changes to be done after upgrading to Simplifier 10 LTS and before upgrading to Simplifier 11 LTS
Switch to Client 2.0 Route for accessing Proxy Connectors within Scripts/Client-side Business Objects/REST API
Customers hosted in our Simplifier Cloud will get all occurrences listed upon your Upgrade Request. For on-premise instances, please contact our Customer Success Team. They let you know how to identify the places that have to be changed.
The client 1.0 route for Proxy Connectors will be removed with Simplifier 11. Thus, you should first complete the upgrade on all instances and then modify the Scripts/Business Objects as necessary before replacing the route. For more details, please see the Discontinued Tab (Read more).
Replace OData V2 Connectors with new OData Connectors
Activate the OData V2 Connectors in the Feature Settings if it is deactivated and replace your legacy OData V2 Connectors with our new OData Connector and switch to the Data Service Shape in your Applications/Modules (Read more).
The legacy OData V2 Connector will be removed with Simplifier 11/MAKERS CHOICE 25-12. Thus, you should first complete the upgrade on all instances and then replace them with a new OData Connector. For more details, please see the Discontinued Tab (Read more).

Deprecated Features Simplifier 10 LTS
[Integration] OData V2 Connector
With the release of our new OData Connector, our legacy OData V2 Connector has been deprecated. Please create new OData Connectors and integrate them into your Applications and Modules
Deprecated since MAKERS CHOICE 25-08; Removal with Simplifier 11/MAKERS CHOICE 25-12
[Integration] Client 1.0 API route to access Proxy-Connector
Our new Proxy Connector will be accessible via the Client 2.0 route (Read more). Starting with MAKERS CHOICE 25-10/Simplifier 10, all old Proxy Connectors are migrated to the new one. Until Simplifier 11, the Client 1.0 route is still available. If you use it in Scripts, Client-side Business Objects, or REST-Connectors, please change it to the Client 2.0 route to keep accessing your Proxy Connectors.
Deprecated since MAKERS CHOICE 25-08; Removal with Simplifier 11
[Integration] Parameter ‘parametrized’ on calling Business Objects within Scripts and Client-Side Business Objects
When calling Server-Side Business Objects within Scripts or Client-Side Business Objects, the developer was able to deactivate the input validation by setting the API’s parameter ‘parametrized’ to false. This parameter is now deprecated. You can already deactivate the parameter in the Feature Settings.
Deprecated since MAKERS CHOICE 25-07; Removal with Simplifier 11/MAKERS CHOICE 25-12
[Integration] Javascript execution in PDFs created by PDF Plugin
Currently, it is possible to add Javascript to PDFs created by PDF Plugin. This is a potential risk for Server Side XSS (PDF Injection) and Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF). The option to add Javascript to PDFs in PDF Plugin is now deactivated but can be activated at its own risk. The activation is subject to be removed in later Releases.
Deprecated since Simplifier 8 EHP 3; Removal tbd
[System requirements] Support of Oracle for Simplifier databases
Oracle support for your Simplifier instances has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Deprecated since Simplifier 8 EHP 4; Removal tbd
[Integration] Removed setting to activate deprecated Connector API
The settings to activate deprecated Connector API will be removed with Simplifier 10 LTS. Please make sure you do not use the deprecated Connector API anymore.
Deprecated since Simplifier 8 EHP 4; Removal tbd
[Interaction] Event tab in UI Designer
Our UI designer still has the legacy feature to add scripts to events directly in the Event tab. As we want to provide a consistent App Building, we will remove this feature with Simplifier 10. Simply use our Process Designer instead.
As we are developing our new Application Editor as a parallel solution to the existing one, we won’t remove that feature, but will not implement it in the new one
Deprecated since Simplifier 8 EHP 3; Removal in new Application Editor
Removed Features Simplifier 10 LTS
[Integration] Simplifier Mobile Client for Android on Windows
Unfortunately, Microsoft has announced the end of support for Windows Subsystem for Android on March 5th 2025.
