March 2023 Summaries

Unified.to has introduced the Passthrough API, a feature designed for developers needing to access additional data from vendor-specific API endpoints that Unified.to does not currently support. This new capability allows users to leverage existing Unified.to connections and authentication processes while directly accessing any API endpoint at the integration's API. The Passthrough API simplifies the process by requiring users to specify connection details, API paths, HTTP methods, and any necessary data or query parameters when sending a request. Unified.to manages the vendor authentication and forwards requests and responses without altering them, thus enabling access to unsupported vendor APIs as long as a valid connection exists. Developers can begin using the Passthrough API by checking their connections via the Unified.to dashboard, consulting the API documentation for request formatting, and utilizing their preferred tools to engage with the Passthrough endpoint. This initiative aims to enhance the flexibility and utility of Unified.to's integration capabilities, with ongoing encouragement for user feedback to refine the service.

To integrate an application with Workday's HRIS, developers need to register a new API client within the Workday tenant by searching for 'Register API Client for Integration' and filling required fields such as Client Name and permission scopes. They must note the Client ID and Client Secret and manage refresh tokens for integration through the 'Manage Refresh Tokens for Integrations' option, ensuring the Integration System User (ISU) has appropriate access. As Workday APIs can be complex, using Unified.to APIs is recommended for simplifying integrations, as it provides a unified set of APIs, data models, and webhooks for HRIS and ATS integrations. Activating Workday in Unified.to involves navigating to Active Integrations, searching for Workday, and entering the necessary credentials and endpoints.
