### Support for long-running workflows

This connector now supports long-running workflows through the **Wait for an Event and Resume** activity. Its purpose is to suspend a job at runtime and resume the job whenever a certain event occurs.

For more information, see [Long-running workflows with Integration Service activities](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/long-running-workflows-with-integration-service-activities).

:::note
Erratum – Added December 3, 2024: The HTTP Request activity was mistakenly announced before it was made available.
:::

### HTTP Request activity

A new **HTTP Request** activity is now available, allowing you to go beyond the predefined activities in a given package and make requests to any endpoint of a vendor's API.

**HTTP Request** reuses the connector pre-configuration and provides transparency of headers, authentication, and query parameters. You can reuse any of your connections, and provide the endpoint and the JSON payload. Use this connector-specific **HTTP Request** activity to benefit from Integration Service's capabilities for connection management.

To learn more, refer to the [HTTP Request activity](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/http-request-activity) page.

### New Features and Improvements

The iContact activities pack is no longer in preview, as this version marks the first official release.

This activity pack is now always displayed in the **Available** section of the Activities panel in Studio. Any activity in this package can be installed by simply dragging and dropping it into the canvas. Also, a cloud versioning model is used from now on for this package, as updates will be done automatically to the activities, without the neccesity of manually updating the package by using the **Package Manager**.

Please note that from this version onwards, this activity pack is **only compatible with Studio v2023.10** and above.
