What’s new in BetterCloud: Spring 2026

A new quarter means new surface area to manage. Employees have adopted tools you don’t know about, sensitive files are being shared without context, and lifecycle events in your HR system still aren’t fully wired to your provisioning workflows. 

This spring, BetterCloud is closing those gaps with the Chrome Browser Extension for real-time SaaS discovery, Google Drive Labels in File Governance, and new triggers and actions to automate the moments that matter.

See every app your team is actually using with the Chrome Browser Extension

Your SSO shows you what’s approved. Your ERP shows you what’s paid for. But neither tells you what employees are actually using in the browser every day, and that gap is where shadow IT and shadow AI thrive.

The BetterCloud Chrome Browser Extension closes that final gap by sitting where work actually happens. It monitors URLs, domains, and session activity in real time to surface apps that traditional API-based discovery misses. You’ll know who’s logging in, what they’re using, and how often, all mapped to real user identities.

Understand and protect sensitive data with Google Drive Labels in File Governance

You asked, we delivered. Now it’s easier than ever to understand and protect your organization’s most sensitive data.

With Google Drive Labels now integrated into File Governance, you get instant clarity into what’s confidential, sensitive, or public right where you need it. Instead of hunting through Drive to understand the risk profile of your files, that context is surfaced directly inside BetterCloud.

Find it now in Insights → Explore and Files and start getting even more value out of File Governance.

More automation triggers and actions to power the full employee lifecycle

We’ve continued expanding what’s possible with User Automation this quarter, adding new triggers and actions for high-demand tools across HR and productivity.

• BambooHR: Two new triggers, User’s Termination Date Changes and User’s Hire Date Changes, make it easier to kick off timely, event-driven workflows directly from your HR system. Whether you’re automating offboarding sequences or ensuring new hires are provisioned before day one, these triggers give you a cleaner handoff between HR and IT.
• Office 365: The Create User and Reset Password actions now support dynamic password generation, removing the manual step of setting a password and ensuring newly created or reset accounts meet your security standards automatically.

These additions move BetterCloud closer to true zero-touch automation, where every key moment in the employee lifecycle triggers the right action, in the right system, without anyone having to ask.
