Summer is around the corner, but we’ve been busy making your contracts smarter, more structured, and even easier to work with.
This release adds two powerful capabilities to Starlify:
✅ Custom attributes on contracts
✅ Business Information Requirements (BIR) tables
Let’s dive in.
You can now include contracts directly in your flow diagrams. This helps you show how systems are meant to work together — not just technically, but from a business point of view.
Using the option “Add reference or contract to flow”, you can visually connect systems with technical references and formal agreements.
✅ To show up in the flow sequence view, the contract needs to have a direction set.
Most tools only show protocols and payloads. But real-world integrations rely on clear expectations and responsibilities.
Contracts in flows make those intentions visible. This helps you:
Align business and IT around the same model
See what’s agreed vs. what’s implemented
Design integrations that match actual responsibilities
A small action, but a big shift in how integration works is communicated.
Every team tracks different things. Maybe you tag contracts with SLA levels, ownership, risk classification, or legal status. Now you can do all of that directly in Starlify.
Just like you already do for systems or services, you can now add custom attributes to contracts.
Visual indicators show if custom data is present
Attributes are searchable and filterable
You define what matters — and make it easy to find later
This lets you structure your integration contracts in a way that reflects how your organization actually works.
Contracts now appear in Table View — right alongside your systems, services, and flows.
This gives you a clean, spreadsheet-style overview that works great when:
Preparing for migrations
Cleaning up legacy mess
Onboarding new teams
We’ve also added BIR (Business Information Requirements) directly inside contracts.
With the BIR editor, you can:
Create a structured table of requirements
Add, edit, or archive rows
Mark fields as mandatory
Work side-by-side with the contract itself
BIRs shine in the early phases of integration work. They help answer questions like:
What data needs to be shared?
What’s mandatory vs. optional?
Who owns which part?
This creates a shared understanding that bridges the gap between business and tech, and sticks around for the entire lifecycle.
Let’s be honest: Most integration problems don’t start with bad code.
They start with unclear expectations.
BIR helps fix that by making your contracts meaningful, traceable, and reusable.
If you’re using Ingo, our AI agent, you can go even further:
Use reverse engineering to create BIRs from existing payloads
Auto-generate contracts and responsibilities
Let AI help when documentation is missing or messy
Less guesswork, smoother handovers, and smarter decisions, built right into your workflow.
We've squashed a few pesky bugs to make Starlify run smoother than ever! Here are some of the things we fixed:
We'll continue to push for better interaction in our upcoming releases, among other features.
