Platform Updates - May 10, 2026

Highlights

  • 🔐 Static IPs per Connection Link: You can now configure static IP allowlisting directly when creating a new connection link. This gives you granular control over network routing for each of your customers, ensuring traffic originates from a trusted IP address from the very first connection.

Other Updates

  • Dashboard UI/UX Improvements:
    • ⌨️ Added an "Esc" keyboard shortcut to close sidebar views for faster navigation.
    • 🗺️ Long paths in the custom field mapping dropdown now show a full tooltip on hover.
    • 🐛 Fixed several layout issues, including sticky headers on the logs page, collapsing cards on narrow screens, and overflowing text in selectors.
    • 🔍 You can now search for countries by their full name (e.g., "United States") instead of just their two-letter code in the "Add Job Posting" dialog.
  • 🪄 Improved Employee Selection in Forms: When using the create-employee form, the dropdown for selecting employees (like a manager) has been improved, showing full names and hiding redundant IDs for a cleaner experience.
  • 🗑️ Removed Legacy Action: The legacy create-employee action, which has been superseded by the more powerful form-based version, is now hidden in the dashboard's coverage grid to reduce confusion.

Platform Updates - April 26, 2026

Highlights

  • 📣 Customer-Facing Settings in Dashboard: Many integration and global settings are now exposed directly in the Kombo dashboard. You can view and, where applicable, edit settings for your integrations, giving you more control without needing to contact support. This feature is being rolled out progressively across integrations.
  • 🎨 Revamped Dashboard UI and Navigation: We've completed a major overhaul of our dashboard's component library and navigation. Integration-specific pages like Logs and Settings have moved from tabs into the main sidebar for a more unified experience. The updated UI components provide a cleaner, more consistent look and feel.

Platform Updates - April 19, 2026

Highlights

  • 🏊‍♂️ New Static IP Pools for API Requests: For customers who need to allowlist our IPs, you can now enable static IP pools for your integrations directly from the dashboard. This gives you a stable set of IP addresses for all API requests Kombo makes to your customers' HR systems.
  • 🔀 More Reliable `data-changed` Webhooks: We've improved our webhook delivery logic to ensure that the `changed_models` array in `data-changed` webhooks accurately reflects all data modifications, even when multiple syncs for the same integration run concurrently.
  • ⏳ Increased Timeout for Write Actions in SDKs: To prevent timeouts on slower HR systems, we've increased the default timeout for all POST endpoints in our SDKs to 5 minutes. This makes write actions like creating a candidate or application more reliable.
  • 🧭 New Guide for Asynchronous Endpoints: We've published a new guide in our developer documentation explaining how to work with asynchronous, long-running tasks. This guide details the poll-based pattern used for operations like bulk data uploads.

Other Updates

  • 🐘 For large API responses that can't be displayed in the dashboard, you can now download the response file directly, in addition to opening it in your browser.
  • 🗺️ We've clarified in our documentation that API rate limits are applied per environment (i.e., per API key).
  • 🔡 SFTP integrations now support configuring the CSV file encoding as either `utf-8` or `latin1`.

Platform Updates - April 12, 2026

Highlights

  • 🔧 More Control Over Sync Frequency: You can now configure full data syncs to run as infrequently as every 90 days, up from the previous maximum of 7 days. This gives you more control over API call volume for integrations where you primarily rely on delta syncs and webhooks.

Other Updates

  • 🎨 Dashboard UI Polish: We've made several small improvements to the dashboard, including better navigation for tabs with many items, and cleaner truncation for long integration names.
  • ✨ Connection Flow Enhancements: Access cards in the connection flow now provide clearer descriptions of the data being accessed, such as hiring team and role information.
  • 📚 Improved API Documentation: We've clarified our API documentation for the updated_after filter, making it easier to understand which related records are included in filtered responses.

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.

  • ⚙️ 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.
