# Upcoming Features & Roadmap

Exciting new features are coming to KnoxCall! Here's what we're building next.

## Recently Launched

### 🔄 Workflows

**Visual workflow builder** for complex API orchestration is now available!

**Features:**

* Drag-and-drop workflow designer
* Multi-step API sequences
* Conditional logic and branching
* Error handling with try/catch
* Loop over arrays
* Custom JavaScript code blocks
* Delay/timing nodes
* Real-time execution monitoring
* Version history

**Example workflow:**

```text theme={"dark"}
1. Receive webhook from Stripe
   ↓
2. Validate payment signature
   ↓
3. If successful:
   → Update database (API call)
   → Send confirmation email (API call)
   → Trigger fulfillment (API call)
   ↓
4. If failed:
   → Log error
   → Send alert to Slack
```

### 🔔 Webhooks

**Real-time notifications** when API requests pass through your routes:

**Features:**

* 8 event types (success, error, timeout, etc.)
* Multiple authentication methods (Bearer, Basic, HMAC)
* Automatic retry with exponential backoff
* Route filtering
* Payload customization
* Execution logging
* Signature verification

## Coming Soon

### 📊 GraphQL Support (Q2 2025)

**Proxy GraphQL endpoints** with same KnoxCall features:

**What it is:**

* GraphQL query proxying
* Secret injection in GraphQL queries
* Query complexity analysis
* Schema introspection caching
* Persisted queries

**Example:**

```graphql theme={"dark"}
query GetUser($id: ID!) {
  user(id: $id) {
    name
    email
    # apiKey injected from secret automatically
  }
}
```

**Use cases:**

* GraphQL API proxying
* Multi-schema stitching
* GraphQL rate limiting
* Query cost analysis

**Status:** Planning phase, Q2 2025

***

### 🌍 Multi-Region Routing (Q2 2025)

**Automatically route to nearest backend** based on client location:

**What it is:**

* Geographic load balancing
* Latency-based routing
* Failover between regions
* Health checks per region

**Example configuration:**

```text theme={"dark"}
Route: api-endpoint
Regions:
  - US-East (Virginia) → api-us.example.com
  - EU-West (Ireland) → api-eu.example.com
  - Asia (Singapore) → api-asia.example.com

Client in London → Routes to EU-West
Client in Tokyo → Routes to Asia
Client in NYC → Routes to US-East
```

**Use cases:**

* Global applications
* Latency optimization
* Regional compliance (GDPR)
* Disaster recovery

**Status:** Planning phase, Q2 2025

***

### 📈 Advanced Analytics (Q2 2025)

**Enhanced analytics and visualizations:**

**Features:**

* Custom dashboards
* Advanced filtering
* Cohort analysis
* Funnel visualization
* A/B testing metrics
* Cost tracking (API call costs)

**Example metrics:**

* Request success rate by client
* Average latency by endpoint
* Error rate trends
* Geographic distribution
* Peak traffic patterns
* Secret usage frequency

**Status:** Planning phase, Q2 2025

***

### 🔔 Alert Improvements (Q2 2025)

**Enhanced alerting capabilities:**

**Features:**

* Custom alert conditions (complex logic)
* Alert escalation policies
* PagerDuty integration
* Opsgenie integration
* Microsoft Teams integration
* Alert suppression rules
* Maintenance windows

**Example escalation:**

```text theme={"dark"}
1. Error rate > 5% → Email to team
   Wait 10 minutes
2. Still failing → SMS to on-call engineer
   Wait 5 minutes
3. Still failing → Page engineering manager
```

**Status:** Planning phase, Q2 2025

***

### 🔌 Integrations Marketplace (Q3 2025)

**Pre-built integrations** for popular services:

**Planned integrations:**

* Datadog (metrics export)
* New Relic (monitoring)
* Sentry (error tracking)

**AI enhancements beyond route setup:**

**Planned features:**

* Anomaly detection (unusual traffic patterns)
* Smart alert tuning (reduce false positives)
* Automatic error categorization
* Predictive scaling recommendations
* Configuration suggestions
* Security threat detection

**Example:**
