July 2025 product updates
August 4, 2025
Last month, we added structured Category support across accounting platforms, expanded webhook and object coverage for high-volume financial records, and delivered key upgrades to the Unified MCP server to support sensitive data handling, aliasing, and Cohere-native output.
Unified continues to help technical teams power AI-ready workflows with normalized, real-time data across finance, HR, messaging, and productivity tools.
New product components
- Calendar Scheduler: A customizable component for booking meetings and appointments using Unified's Calendar API.
