Platform Updates - April 19, 2026

Highlights

  • πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ 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.

Assessment API Updates - April 12, 2026

Highlights
