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 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.
