HRIS API Updates - August 9, 2026

Highlights

  • 🧠 New Managed Skills Catalog API
    We've launched a new API to manage a custom skills catalog. You can use the synchronous `POST /hris/skills` endpoint to create and update skills, which are then pushed to the connected HRIS during the next sync. This allows you to manage a centralized skills taxonomy within Kombo.
  • 🌍 UKG Pro: Support for International Hires
    You can now create employees in international locations with UKG Pro. The integration automatically selects the correct 'Global Hire' transaction based on the provided staffing context, enabling you to hire employees outside the US without requiring an SSN.
  • 💸 Workday: Create Hires with Compensation Plans
    The `create-employee` action for Workday now supports adding compensation details during the hiring process. You can include stock plans and one-time payments (like signing bonuses) directly in the hire form, with eligible plans loaded dynamically for selection.
  • 🎋 BambooHR: Enhanced Create Employee Form
    We've improved the `create-employee` form for BambooHR to natively support phone number fields. You can now provide mobile and home phone numbers using unified keys, simplifying the creation of new employees.
  • 🥩 Cornerstone OnDemand: Richer Employee Data
    We've upgraded our Cornerstone OnDemand integration to use a newer endpoint for enriching employee data. This provides more comprehensive data for fields like gender, date of birth, and home address. This requires the `obj_users_core:read` scope to be enabled.

📊 Model & Action Extensions

  • Workday: The `create-employee` form fields for compensation are now optional, offering more flexibility. We also added support for UK National Insurance numbers (`GBR-NI`) as an `ssn` type.

ATS API Updates - August 9, 2026

Highlights

  • 📝 New: Read ATS Notes
    We've introduced a new data model for reading notes associated with candidates and applications. You can now use the `GET /ats/notes` endpoint to retrieve valuable context from your customers' ATS. Initial support is available for Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby.
  • 🚀 Ashby Performance Overhaul
    We've massively improved the performance of full syncs for Ashby. By switching to bulk fetching for interviews and offers instead of per-application requests, we've dramatically reduced the number of API calls required, leading to significantly faster and more reliable syncs for large accounts.
  • 🌱 Greenhouse Reliability Enhancements
    We've rolled out two key improvements for Greenhouse. You can now configure a reserved API request capacity for real-time actions during full syncs, preventing them from being delayed by sync traffic. Additionally, the connection flow now automatically requests all necessary read scopes for the create application action, preventing permission errors and the need for your customers to reconnect.

Other Updates

  • 🖇️ Model & Action Extensions
    • Ashby: Custom fields are now supported on the Application Stages model.
    • SuccessFactors: You can now sync interviewers assigned to an interview.
    • P&I Loga: You can now write a candidate's birth date using `remote_fields`.
    • BITE: Added a new setting to notify the hiring team via email when new applications are created.
    • Bullhorn: The `create-application` action now populates Bullhorn's `sendingUser` field from the `sourced_by` input, and correctly marks submissions as a "Web Response" when a "New Lead" status is provided.

⚙️ Integration Fixes & Improvements

  • BreezyHR: You can now read and write attachments for applications associated with non-published (e.g., closed) jobs.
  • Oracle Recruiting Cloud: Added support for mapping application outcomes to Hired, Declined, or Pending.
  • RecruitCRM: Added support for filtering data based on a cutoff date.

Platform Updates - August 9, 2026

Highlights

  • 📊 Data Consistency: Custom fields are now consistently stored as empty objects `{}` instead of `NULL` to improve data consistency across the platform.
  • 🔐 Improved OAuth Reliability for Token Rotations
    We've significantly improved the reliability of our OAuth-based integrations, especially for providers like Greenhouse that rotate access tokens frequently.
  • ⚡ Smarter Data Change Tracking
    We've enhanced our change tracking system to be smarter about what constitutes a data update.
    This change especially helps to avoid triggering large, unnecessary delta syncs.

Highlights

  • 📊 UKG Ready: The employee model now includes Social Security Numbers (SSN), and the employment model includes job titles.
  • Paylocity: The employee model now includes start_date, termination_date, and a link to the legal_entity_id.

ATS API Updates - August 2, 2026

Highlights

  • 📎 Bullhorn: You can now pin a new application to a specific existing candidate using remote_fields in the create-application action. This is useful for preventing duplicate candidates when multiple profiles share the same email address.
  • 🏷️ Ashby: A new integration setting allows you to set the candidate source during the creation of new candidates via application forms, ensuring new applicants are correctly attributed.

Other Updates

  • JobDiva: Improved performance and reliability by adopting our new shared access token cache. We also made syncs more resilient by allowing them to continue even when the JobDiva API returns errors for specific historical data ranges.
  • SmartRecruiters: You can now request additional OAuth scopes through a new integration setting.

Platform Updates - August 2, 2026

  • 🚀 More Granular Syncs with Sync Units: Sync Units break large syncs into smaller, independent parts — enabling more efficient data updates, per-model webhooks, and faster unlocks of API endpoints.
    We will be rolling this out to more customers progressively.
  • ⚡️ Improved API Performance with Shared Token Caching: We've rolled out a new platform-wide caching layer for integration access tokens. This significantly reduces redundant authentication requests, leading to faster and more reliable API calls, especially for high-volume operations.
  • 🔎 Filter Logs by Job or Application ID: You can now filter logs in the dashboard by a specific Job ID or Application ID, speeding up the debugging process.

Assessment API Updates - July 26, 2026

  • ✍️ Greenhouse: Write Results as Notes: You now have the option to write assessment results back to a candidate's profile as a note in Greenhouse. This provides another way to surface assessment outcomes to recruiters directly within their workflow.
  • 🪜 iCIMS: You can now configure assessments to be triggered when a candidate is moved into one of several different application statuses, offering more flexibility than being limited to a single stage.

HRIS API Updates - July 26, 2026

Highlights

  • 🗑️ Smarter Timesheet Deletion Tracking: We've improved how we handle deletion tracking for timesheets. The system now respects the configured historical sync window (e.g., 2 months), preventing older timesheet records that fall outside this window from being incorrectly marked as deleted during a sync.
  • 🕐 Workday: Timesheet sync now includes open time clock events for employees who are currently clocked in. We also improved the `create-employee` action by relaxing some form field requirements.

Other Updates

  • HiBob: You can now access employee bank account details as mappable custom fields via a new integration setting. We also improved the handling of canceled absences during delta syncs.
  • Paycor: Job titles are now populated only for the most recent employment record.
  • OysterHR: You can now connect to an OysterHR sandbox environment for testing purposes.

  • 🤖 Major AI Apply Expansion: Our AI Apply feature now supports job applications for SAP Hana, Occupop, and white-labeled Greenhouse job boards, significantly expanding its coverage.
  • 🔺 Cornerstone TalentLink Enhancements: This integration now supports delta syncs as well as the ability to sync job hiring teams.
  • JobAdder: No longer a partner-only integration and now uses a standard OAuth flow where you can provide your own Client ID and Secret.

Other Updates

  • Cornerstone TalentLink: Added new actions to move an application to a different stage and to add a note to an application.
  • Recruitee: You can now sync candidate offer letters. 
  • Avionte: Added support for syncing job contacts as ATS users.
  • ⚡️ Performance Boost for Large Accounts: We've shipped significant performance improvements on the Applications and Interviews endpoints. This will result in substantially faster syncs for integrations with large data volumes, such as Greenhouse.
