Here’s the second changelog entry for today! This one’s for last week where we…

• 🚀 Released a new ATS integration to Fountain.
• 🗒️ Added response bodies to our request logs.- There’s now a button to view the response body on all failing requests in syncs and all requests regardless of status in actions.
• ✅ Added validation for candidate attachments.- We now check file sizes, types, and extensions before uploading files to make creating candidates more predictable.
• ⏩ Added a pass-through API for SAP SuccessFactors.- This enables implementing custom behavior not covered by our unified API while not worrying about authentication.
• ⏳ Changed our sync scheduling so that periodic syncs can’t overlap.- This previously caused issues for integrations with long sync durations because the overlapping syncs would eat into each other’s rate limits and cause each other to slow and fail in some cases.
• 📖 Released a help center to publish answers to integration-specific answers like "How will test
   results be displayed in ATS X?”.- Check out our test results documentation for an example (note that our help center requires logging in with your Kombo account).
  • We also took this as a chance to improve the docs around our pass-through API. Check them out here!
• 🚨 Migrated our production alerts to a new incident management system.- This helps us internally respond even more quickly to errors happening with integrations in production, like parsing edge cases or permission problems with enterprise integrations.

The week before last week we…

• 🚀 Released a new integration to the much-requested Haufe Talent (Umantis) ATS!
• 💥 Added the ability to specify a source when creating candidates.- This enables you to communicate to your customers that specific candidates applied through your job board or were sourced by you.
  • Check out the "Create candidate" documentation to find out more.
• 📝 Launched a new version of our "Logs" feature that allows you to keep track of all syncs and write actions happening in your environments, including any API requests sent as part of them!- You can use this to, for example, understand why write actions to a specific integration are failing or what permission errorsare causing a sync to report authentication issues.
  • Check it out under the "Logs" tab in your Kombo sidebar.
• ⚙️ Revamped our sync infrastructure to allow syncing particularly large integrations on separate worker instances, enabling even syncs taking 8+ hours to finish reliably every time.
• 🏡 Extended our Softgarden ATS integration to allow syncing application statuses.
• 🪴 Finished building our HRIS integration to Google Workspace, but we're still in the process of getting verified.
• 🧹 As always, fixed several bugs and performance problems.

This week we focused on testing and polishing our current closed beta integrations Sympa and rexx systems. (Let us know if you'd also like to get early access!)

Apart from that, we've launched the following improvements and fixes:

• ⚡ Syncs will now finish more quickly most of the time because, for most syncs, we're only pulling changed entries now.
• 👀 Integration pages now show more details about the progress of syncs and errors that occurred to give more context on issues.
• 📖 We now have end-user-facing documentation around connecting DATEV to reduce friction for end-users setting up DATEV integrations.
• ☝️ We now return better errors when write actions fail due to missing permissions in the integration's scope config.
• 🔐 The Humaans connection flow now shows and enforces which permissions must be enabled when creating the API key.
• ➕ We increased the data model coverage on Nmbrs, now exposing employment statuses, employment types, and office locations.
• 🐛 Fixed a bug where using updated_after on a read endpoint would not include changes on relation models (like a candidate's applications).

  This week we're launching two new integrations in closed beta:

• 🪴 Sympa: popular HRIS in the Nordics
• 🪴 rexx systems: popular HRIS and ATS in the DACH market

Want to help us test and get early access? Let us know!

Here's what else we launched recently:

• ⏳ The GDPR consent attached to candidates created through our ATS API can now be set to expire at a certain date to comply with Czech and Slovakian GDRP legislation.- Check out the gdpr_consent → expires_at option here to learn more.
• 🗺️ Countries in our API are now always standardized to two-letter country codes (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2), making them easier to work with.
• ✅ Kombo is an official Microsoft Solutions Partner, which means our Azure AD connection flow now shows a shiny Verified badge.
• 🏢 Our PayFit integration now supports reading work locations.
• 👔 Our PayFit integration now supports reading managers.

Who would've thought that a changelog would take a lot of work to maintain? We certainly didn't, so while cranking out new features and improvements over the last week, we completely forgot about updating it. 😅

Nonetheless, a lot has happened, so it's time to catch up! Here's a compilation of the biggest things we released since the last changelog:

HRIS   

• 🚀 1 new integration- Azure AD
• 🏦 Bank accounts on employees

ATS   

• 🚀 5 new integrations- Flatchr
  • Bullhorn
  • SageHR
  • Onlyfy
  • Heyrecruit
• ❓ New screening questions field on jobs
• 👥 New hiring team field on jobs
• ✅ "Outcome" on applications (allows identifying whether a candidate was hired or rejected)
• ➕ Improved coverage for our "Add result link" feature

General   

• New "get tools" endpoint (gives more control over how to implement Kombo Connect within your application)

Kombo Connect

• 💥 Completely overhauled connection flow that provides users with more guidance and better errors
• 🌍 Full localization (beta with 🇩🇪 German translations live!)
• ✨ More intuitive inputs for domains and subdomains
• 😌 Less confusing consent screens due to unsupported models and fields being hidden

Improved integrations

• SAP SuccessFactors (HRIS and ATS)- 📖 Detailed connection guide
  • 🔐 More secure and easy-to-configure authentication
  • 🤝 Support for attaching an SAP partner ID ("SAP Application Interface Key") to all requests (necessary for official SAP partners)

And… that's a wrap! There are many more small feature launches and bug fixes that we could talk about, but it's time to get back to work. See you in the next changelog! 👋

New integration: d.vinci

If there's one German ATS solution that's been requested over and over again, it's d.vinci. We're excited to announce that d.vinci is now an officially supported ATS integration. Thanks to team at d.vinci for being very supportive throughout the process!

Experience level on jobs

There's a new field on jobs: experience_level now indicates the required experience level or seniority defined in the ATS.

Uploading candidate attachments

It's now possible to upload attachments for candidates through our new "Add attachment to candidate" endpoint.

Improvement

Tired of scrolling through the long list of integration cards on your dashboard to find the one that's been causing trouble? We've got good news!

We recently decided to redesign how we list integrations in our dashboard. They're now shown in a compact table with all integrations that require your attention — for example, because a customer accidentally revoked their API credentials — sorted to the top.

Big news today, we're starting a public changelog so you're always
up to date with all the updates, improvements, and fixes that are
made in Kombo.

Even though we work on Kombo all the time, sometimes
it may seem that not much is happening. This changelog is here to
improve that vital part of the communication between you and us.

You'll always receive an update when we change something in the
widget, or if needed, all things we've changed are available on our
public changelog page.
