## What's New:

### Bearer-Token Authentication for Webhook Triggers

Webhook triggers now support Bearer-token authentication. You can configure a shared secret that Taskade validates on every incoming request, securing your webhook endpoints against unauthorized calls. See [Webhooks](/developers/webhooks.md) for inbound bearer-token setup.

### New Frontier LLMs Available

Several frontier models are now available for use in agents and automations, including GPT-5.5, GPT-5.5 Pro, and more. Select the model that best fits your agent's task in the model-picker.

### BYOK for AppSumo Plans

AppSumo lifetime-deal holders can now bring their own LLM API keys, extending the BYOK capability previously available on Enterprise to this plan tier.

### Taskade EVE Can Enable and Disable Automation Workflows

Taskade EVE can now toggle automation workflows on or off during a session, allowing agents to dynamically manage which automations are active as part of a broader task sequence.
