πŸš€ Workflow activity improvements

We updated MESA’s Activity List to improve searching and how workflows with Delays are displayed.

For example, workflow runs are now sorted by their last update date (the last time any task in the workflow ran). This should reduce confusion when you have a bunch of “Ready” tasks enqueued. This also allows MESA to show the full delay as a single workflow run so you can see the steps that ran before the delay.

Also, filtering by status, specifically by Error, is no longer slow for those running a lot of automations.

πŸš€ Improved testing for built-in tools: Email, Web Request, Webhook, and Form

We revamped empty states and added a new client-side testing endpoints that allow you to test these triggers when the workflow is disabled.

We now poll for test records, so when testing from external systems (sending an email, or making an API request in Postman for example), you’ll see notifications in the app and have a path forward to view the test results.
