HRIS API Updates - November 23, 2025

Highlights

  • 🚀 Create Employees in SuccessFactors with Dynamic Forms: You can now create employees in SuccessFactors using a new, dynamically generated form. This powerful action supports the complex data requirements of SuccessFactors, including custom fields and picklists fetched directly from your customer's instance.
  • ➡️ Track Pre-Hires with New `remote_id` Response: The `create-employee-with-form` action now returns `remote_id` and prehire in the response. This allows you to track employees created in the remote system even before a Kombo ID is available, which is critical for pre-hire and asynchronous workflows.
  • 📎 Dayforce: The create employee action now supports custom fields, allowing you to write more comprehensive employee data.

Other Updates

  • 📊 UKG Pro: Added support for manager mapping when syncing employees.
  • ✨ Nmbrs: The Passthrough API is now available, allowing you to make direct calls to the Nmbrs SOAP API.

Platform Updates - November 23, 2025

Highlights

  • 📣 Official TypeScript & Python SDKs: We've launched official SDKs for TypeScript and Python to make integrating with Kombo even faster. Our documentation has been updated with code samples for both languages directly on the endpoint pages to help you get started.
  • 🔎 Revamped Logs Filtering: The Logs page in your dashboard has been significantly improved with powerful new filtering capabilities. You can now filter interactions by integration, action type, status, and other tags, making debugging much faster and more intuitive.

Other Updates

  • 💅 Dashboard response viewers in the Data Explorer and API explorer now feature syntax highlighting and auto-formatting for JSON and XML, improving readability.
  • 📋 In the logs viewer, the “Copy” button for request bodies now copies the full, untruncated content, making it easier to work with large payloads.
  • 🏷️ The integration catalog now more clearly indicates which integrations require a custom plan.
  • ⚡️ We've improved our remapping engine to better handle structured data (like addresses) where all fields are null.

Official TypeScript & Python SDKs for the Kombo API 🚀

We're excited to share that Kombo now provides official server-side SDKs for TypeScript/JavaScript and Python! 🎉

Why use our SDKs?

Our official SDKs are the recommended way to implement Kombo and offer several key advantages:

  • ✨ Ergonomic and type-safe API interactions
  • 🔄 Always up to date with the latest Kombo API changes
  • 💡 Auto-completion and detailed types for inputs and outputs
  • 🛡️ Avoid common pitfalls with built-in best practices

Get Started

TypeScript/JavaScript

npm install @kombo-api/sdk

📦 npm | 💻 GitHub

Python

pip install kombo

📦 PyPI | 💻 GitHub

Example Usage

import { Kombo } from '@kombo-api/sdk'

const kombo = new Kombo({
  api_key: process.env.KOMBO_API_KEY,
  integration_id: 'workday:HWUTwvyx2wLoSUHphiWVrp28',
})

const result = await kombo.hris.getEmployees()

Migrating from Custom Code?

If you're currently using custom code or self-built solutions to interact with Kombo, now is a great time to migrate! Our SDKs will save you time and reduce maintenance overhead. We've created an LLM-friendly migration prompt to help automate the process. Check out our documentation for details.

More server-side SDKs are planned. Have a specific tech stack in mind? Please reach out!

Platform Updates - November 16, 2025

Highlights
