Platform Updates - March 29, 2026

Highlights

  • 🎈 Picture-in-Picture Mode for Kombo Connect: For a smoother experience for your customers, the Kombo Connect connection flow can now detach into a floating Picture-in-Picture (PiP) window. This prevents the flow from being interrupted if your customer navigates to a different tab or a new page opens during authentication.
  • 🪂 New Remapping Option: Fallback to Kombo's Default: When configuring custom field remappings, you now have the flexibility to insert "Fallback to Kombo's mapping" as a prioritized option. This allows you to create powerful remapping rules that combine your custom logic with Kombo's standard mapping for ultimate control.

Other Updates

  • 🪄 Self-Serve SFTP Decryption: You can now configure PGP decryption for files uploaded via SFTP directly from the dashboard, simplifying the setup for secure file transfers.
  • Developer Experience & Dashboard Improvements
    • ⚡ You can now trigger full and delta syncs for any integration directly from the command palette (Cmd+K).
    • 🔎 In the Data Explorer, you can now search for jobs by their posting URL, making it easier to find specific job postings.
    • 🔗 When a sync is in progress, the "View Logs" button now links directly to the logs for that specific sync interaction.
    • 📜 HTTP headers in interaction logs are now sorted alphabetically for easier inspection.
    • ✨ We've made numerous smaller UI improvements to the dashboard, including more accurate integration counts, better tooltips, and improved navigation.
  • Documentation
    • 📚 Webhook documentation now includes detailed payload examples for all event types, making it easier to build and test your webhook consumers.
    • 🧹 We've removed outdated migration guides for the `data-changed` webhook to simplify our documentation.

Platform Updates - March 22, 2026

Highlights

  • 📣 Action Concurrency Limiting Enforced: To improve platform stability, we are now enforcing concurrency limits on all write actions. If you send too many requests in parallel for a single integration, you will receive a new `PLATFORM.CONCURRENCY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` error with an HTTP 429 status code. We recommend implementing a retry mechanism with exponential backoff for these cases.
  • 💅 Redesigned Integration Dashboard: We've revamped the integration detail page! You can now find logs embedded directly in a new “Logs” tab for easier debugging. The sync status and manual sync trigger have been redesigned into a cleaner, more intuitive component in the page header.
  • 📚 Richer `updated_after` Filter Documentation: Our API documentation for all model endpoints now dynamically lists which related objects are considered when you use the `updated_after` filter. This makes it much clearer which updates will cause a record to be returned.

Other Updates

  • ⚙️ Dashboard & Connection Flow:
    • You can now filter integrations by tags (e.g., “OAuth recommended”, “IP allowlisting”) on the main Tools page.
    • We've improved the connection flow for integrations that have optional partner credentials, allowing them to be enabled more easily.
  • ⚡️ Performance & Reliability:
    • We've increased the timeout for webhooks, which will reduce the number of `502` errors you may have seen for long-running webhook deliveries.

Platform Updates - March 15, 2026

Highlights

  • 👑 Self-Service Unlock for Integrations: To help you resolve issues faster, we've added a “Force unlock” button in the dashboard. Administrators can now manually unblock integrations that are stuck in setup or testing states, reducing the need to contact support for common setup hurdles.

Other Updates

  • 📼 Improved “Replay in Komboman”: The replay feature in your request logs is now smarter. It can now correctly identify and replay requests made to third-party APIs via our passthrough feature, making debugging easier.

Platform Updates - March 8, 2026

Highlights

  • ⚙️ Per-Integration Rate Limiting: You now have more granular control over API usage. A new optional setting allows you to configure specific rate limits for each of your integrations, which is perfect for managing high-volume connections without affecting others.
  • ⚡️ Major Performance Boost for API Queries: We've rolled out a new query architecture that dramatically speeds up data retrieval for all model endpoints. This new engine is now the default for fetching candidates and applications, delivering significantly faster response times, especially for integrations with large amounts of data.
  • 🗺️ Customizable Connection Flow Guides: To provide a more tailored experience for your customers, you can now override the default Kombo connection guide with your own custom URL. This link will be displayed to your customers during the integration setup process.

Other Updates

  • 🧑‍💻 Developer Experience: Our internal Komboman tool now offers better support for SOAP-based Passthrough APIs like Workday, including the ability to load XML request examples.
  • 📚 Documentation: The webhooks documentation has been updated to clarify our automatic retry behavior.

Platform Updates - March 1, 2026

Highlights

  • 🚧 Action Concurrency Limiting in Closed Beta: To improve stability for both you and your customers' systems, we've introduced concurrency limiting for write actions. When the limit is reached, our API will now respond with a `429 Too Many Requests` error, allowing your application to handle the load gracefully. This feature is not enabled by default right now and is being piloted with the first customers.

Updates

  • 📊 Dashboard Improvements:
    • The Data Explorer now displays all components of a location and correctly hides deleted job postings.
    • We've updated browser tab titles across the dashboard to make navigation easier when you have multiple tabs open.
    • Clarified the distinction between "upstream webhooks" (from the provider) and Kombo's webhooks in the integration settings UI.
    • Improved the in-app documentation for our static outbound IP proxy to make IP allowlisting clearer.
