New ticketing Common Model: Roles

We’re excited to announce support for pulling user roles across 24 ticketing integrations! You can now easily access a user’s role — including their role name, actions, and access permissions within the ticketing system — all through the Roles Common Model.

This ensures that companies building AI search features that need ticketing data can restrict search results to users with the appropriate permissions. Additionally, the addition of Roles more comprehensively supports user access review use cases needed by security and compliance management companies.

Merge supports idempotency for accounting integrations

With idempotency, Merge allows you to safely retry POST requests without creating duplicate records. This allows for more resilient, scalable integrations, minimizing duplicate requests and supporting asynchronous processing for heavier tasks.

How it works:

  • Use an idempotency key with each POST request
  • If the same key is reused within 24 hours, no new request is processed — instead, the original response is returned instantly

You can learn more here. This feature currently is in beta so please reach out to your account representative or contact us for more information.

Linking Flow Updates

Linking Flow Updates

One of our core principles at Merge is to provide a seamless authentication experience for our user's users. Over the past few weeks, we've made several improvements to our Linking Flow to improve the user experience and cater to a wider variety of integrations.

  • Our authorization linking flow has been updated to include a validation step for credentials for an integration. This new logic allows a user to go back and re-input the correct credentials for the integration if we weren't able to successfully authenticate, or asks them to try again later.
  • We've made significant speed updates to our linking flow portal for any integrations that require OAuth authentication.
  • We've updated our Linking Flow logic to support multi-factor authentication, which allows us to partner with more vendors. 
  • The Linking Flow modal now hides inactive Linked Accounts from the portal.
  • We've added logic to enforce Linked Account uniqueness, and updated our documentation to include how we handle multiple tokens generated from the same end_user_origin_id

API Changes 

  • HRIS Employee:We've added employee_number to our HRIS Employee Object. This change has been reflected in our documentation and all available SDKs
  • ATS Candidate: We've updated the attachments and applications fields to include the full object body, as opposed to just the ID of the relation

Other Fixes and Improvements 

  • Linked accounts can now be deleted on the Merge portal
  • Fixed a bug with name fields when first or last name is undefined.
  • Added some validation around the remote_user_id for our ATS post endpoints to help with checking that the user exists with the ID passed in.
  • Updated error messaging around unsupported API methods for some of our objects.
  • Fixed bug that allows us to support retrieving large attachment urls.
  • Minor UI and bug fixes.

Updates to Linked Account View in the Merge Dashboard

We are making major enhancements to Merge Dashboard’s Linked Accounts section to make our integrations management capabilities even better to help your support teams easily identify and address end user errors. We are excited to rollout the following changes.

  • We’ve added reference docs, API Tester, Help Center, and a Support button, so your support team can access a resource or contact support if there’s an issue with a specific Linked Account.
  • We show a Linked Account’s metadata, data sync status and scope in a single view. This provides visibility in when data was last synced, relevant permission, and current sync status.
  • Added advanced configuration settings, such as field mapping and sync frequencies speeds, highlighting these settings at each linked account level.

There’s a brand new “Data” page so you can view and configure data sync and access settings for a specific Linked Account.

There’s a brand new "Logs" page under each Linked Account so you can access an instant view all API request logs and webhooks related to a specific Linked Account. You don’t need to filter down in the Logs page anymore.
