  • 📊 Model Extensions:
    • Okta: Added support for syncing cost centers as groups.
    • Deel: The employee's gender is now available.
    • Hansalog: You can now sync employee custom fields.
  • HiBob: A new integration setting allows you to sync custom named lists as departments or cost centers.
  • 📈 Filtering UX Improvements: We've optimized the employee filtering configuration in both the Kombo dashboard and the Connect flow to better support your customers with very large employee counts.
