Instagram and TikTok, now readable
2026-05-28 — v1.1.21
The assistant can now read from Instagram and TikTok, giving you more places to pull context from when you're researching or following up. This release also tightens the messaging path across LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram — recipients are validated when a card is created instead of failing silently at send time, action cards send with less perceived lag, and revoked sign-ins now lead cleanly to Reconnect.
What changed:
- Sources: Read tools for Instagram and TikTok, so the assistant can pull posts and profiles into context
- Conversations: Default handoff sessions start automatically, and continuing a chat now stays on the default connection instead of prompting
- Messaging: WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram action cards reject malformed recipients up front, so a card can't be sent to a chat ID the platform won't accept
- LinkedIn: Action cards refuse non-1st-degree DMs at the moment they're created, with a clearer reason instead of a generic send failure
- Email: Reply intent is now structural in Gmail and Outlook sends, so replies thread to the right message
- Action cards: Send feels faster — the UI advances optimistically while the request completes, and errors show up as a clearer chip plus a restyled toast
- Action cards: After a card executes, the assistant follows up on what it just did so the next step doesn't get lost
- Connections: Sign-ins flagged as revoked now route directly to Reconnect instead of looking like an outage, and stuck rows heal automatically
- Fixed a billing miscount on image attachments that could trigger quota errors during normal use
- Fixed WhatsApp group messages that were unreadable so they render as honest "unreadable" markers instead of empty content
- Fixed custom tools failing to resolve the right user in workspaces with multiple members
- Fixed idle session failures so the error message reflects what actually went wrong instead of a generic timeout
Why it matters: Runner is most useful when it can reach the places your work actually happens. Reading from Instagram and TikTok adds two more sources of context, and validating recipients the moment a card is created means a bad address gets caught while you can still fix it — not after the send quietly fails.
