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.

Platform Updates - February 22, 2026

Highlights

  • 🎊 Many Integrations Now in Open Beta: We've moved a large number of integrations from closed to open beta. This means you can now self-activate them directly from your dashboard without needing to contact us. This includes popular tools like ADP Workforce Now, Dayforce, iCIMS, Oracle Recruiting, Paychex, Paylocity, SAP SuccessFactors LMS, Taleo, UKG Pro, and Workday (Custom Reports).
  • 💎 New Ruby SDK: We're excited to launch our official Ruby SDK! You can now interact with the Kombo API more easily in your Ruby applications. Check out the documentation for examples and installation instructions.
  • ⌨️ New CMD+K Command Palette: We've introduced a powerful new CMD+K command palette in the dashboard. You can now instantly search for integrations, navigate pages, and access tools, making your workflow faster and more efficient.

Other Updates

  • 🛠️ Passthrough API Explorer (Komboman) Enhancements: The Komboman tool in your dashboard is now powered by provider OpenAPI specs. It automatically shows available query parameters, their descriptions, and provides one-click examples to make exploring passthrough APIs easier.
  • 🧹 Platform-wide data sanitization has been introduced to prevent sync failures caused by invalid characters in data from source systems.

Platform Updates - February 15, 2026

Updates

  • 🧑‍💻 Developer Experience: We've rolled out several improvements to Komboman, our interactive API client in the dashboard. You can now benefit from automatic JSON schema validation and autocompletion for request bodies, load example payloads with a single click, and enjoy a more stable experience with improved state management.
  • ⚡️ Dashboard Performance: The Kombo Dashboard now loads faster. By caching your environment settings, we've reduced initial load times, getting you to your data quicker.
  • 🐛 Connection Flow: We've fixed a UI issue to ensure the connection iframe is always correctly centered within the modal for a smoother experience for your customers.
  • 📚 Documentation: We've fixed a broken link in our filtering guide and clarified the terminal states for the `sync.finished` webhook.

Platform Updates - February 8, 2026

Highlights

  • ⏱️ Faster Feedback on Broken Connections: We've reduced the time it takes to mark an integration as `INVALID` due to consecutive authentication failures from 3 days to just 24 hours. This change helps you and your customers identify and resolve connection issues much more quickly.

Other Updates

  • ⏳ New 'Last Used' Timestamp: The integration details page in your dashboard now shows a “Last used” timestamp, making it easy to see which connections are actively being used.
  • 🔦 Improved Log Visibility: We've made API response times more prominent in the request logs list, helping you spot performance issues at a glance.
