🧑🎨 Hex Connector for Figma
There’s a new connector that allows you to use the Figma agent to pull data from Hex right into your Figma files. This is great if you want to incorporate facts from your data into things like feature mockups or web page designs.
We’re going to be partnering with Figma on more ways of incorporating data into your work, so stay tuned for more here!
🔐 IAM role support for AWS
Hex’s AWS integrations now support IAM roles as an authentication method. IAM roles are short-lived, automatically rotating temporary credentials.
This includes:
- Athena, Redshift, and RDS data connections
- The S3 file integration
- Custom images registered with ECR
IAM roles are more secure than static access keys or username/password. Your security team will thank you.
🗂️ Schema refresh history
Admins can now see a table view of recent schema refreshes across their workspace's data connections. This includes how long each refresh took, its outcome (success, failure, partial success), and any error messages returned from the warehouse.
This makes it easier to diagnose pesky errors like permissions issues in the warehouse that can cause your refreshes to fail.
