Welcome to the new year and to new collaboration features! Here are the highlights from our monthly release — including features for enterprise admins, exciting API news, share modal updates, and enhancements to the Mural App for Teams.

Introducing advanced identity management

Mural's advanced identity management solution enables automated member provisioning and deprovisioning, provides secure access to Mural, and supports key elements of the Mural identity management lifecycle to unlock secure collaboration at scale.

New Okta and Azure AD integrations

Provision and deprovision members — and control their access to MURAL more easily — with new integrations with Okta and Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to support SCIM and SSO. This release is part of MURAL's advanced identity management solution.

The Okta connector is now available for Enterprise plans.
The Azure AD connector is now available for Enterprise plans for SSO only, with SCIM provisioning coming soon.
Each connector is also available for Business plans for administering SSO only.

Share a template in the MURAL App for Teams

We’ve been regularly releasing enhancements for the Mural App for Teams, and this latest one makes it even easier to share templates with your coworkers. In addition to searching through MURAL’s 300+ free templates in a direct message or channel message, this messaging extension enhancement lets anyone who sees the message instantly create a mural from the template. All within Microsoft Teams!

Connect imagination with the Mural API [Beta]

Extend visual collaboration across workflows and applications with the MURAL API. Join the early access program to explore building new, innovative capabilities on the MURAL platform — possibilities include integrations, automations, and data analysis.

And here’s a rundown of more small but mighty updates:

Try Mural's Zapier integrations with popular apps like Asana, Google, Airtable. The new “create a mural” action lets you easily create a new mural from your favorite apps to automate workflows, streamline processes, and keep your team aligned.
New Reporting API for Enterprise plans help support account management, compliance initiatives, and other functions.
The share modal within your murals got a design upgrade to speed up sharing and improve your teamwork. The functionality and permissions are the same; we just removed some clutter for a cleaner and more intuitive experience.
We improved the usability of areas within murals; you can now make areas larger to absorb objects on the canvas, or make them smaller to expel objects.
To keep you informed and looped into important conversations without an influx of alerts, we’ve turned off comment notifications by default for when anyone comments in a mural that you’ve joined. If you would like to turn this back on, you can easily update this in your account settings under notifications.
