Work Automation
Customer engagement
Administrators can now make the work automation Query Sync API publicly available for operational lookups of workitems.

This update helps improve performance and predictability for real-time, single-record lookups by reducing reliance on asynchronous queries for these scenarios. The Query Sync API is intended for focused, low-latency queries, while the existing workitems job query API remains available for broader searches across large sets of workitems.

Schedulers configure minimum staffing in business unit settings. For more information, see the help articles on adding a business unit and configuring minimum staffing.
