Nov 2024 product updates

November 28, 2024

We're wrapping up November with two new API releases, expanded Webhook support, and 205 platform enhancements. Here's what we shipped.

Unified Learning Management System (LMS) API

We've introduced the Unified LMS API for teams building comprehensive HR and employee experience products. The LMS API is designed to simplify integrating with leading learning platforms and currently supports Coursera, Google Classroom, and Desire2Learn (D2L). Additional integrations will be rolled out progressively. With this API, you can access key data from multiple learning systems through a single, real-time unified API.

This update makes it easier to:

  • Track course enrollments, completions, and certifications across platforms
  • Automate skill gaps analysis by combining LMS and HR data.
  • Create personalized learning paths tailored to individual roles and goals

Starting today, the Unified LMS API supports all standard operations for courses, students, instructors, and classes, along with real-time webhook updates. It pairs seamlessly with the HR & Directory API for employee development or the Task Management API for skill tracking within projects.

Unified Repository API (Code Repositories)

We also released a second new API: the Unified Repository API,  built to simplify how you integrate with code hosting platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

If you're building tools for developers or need to integrate with multiple code hosting platforms, our unified Repository API provides the fastest path to comprehensive repository integration support.

Here's what you can do:

  • Track developer activity with unified analytics across repositories.
  • Automate code quality monitoring to keep standards high across teams.
  • Streamline security compliance and ensure every repository meets your requirements.
  • Unlock unified search across platforms to find and reuse code faster.

And that's just the start. Pair the Repository API with our Task Management or Knowledge Management APIs for even more powerful workflows.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Integrations

Microsoft 365 is now supported through three new pre-built integrations, allowing you to deliver use-case specific features through a simplified integration with an industry-leading enterprise solution. This is particularly useful for applications targeting enterprise customers.

  • Business Central: Enable your customers to sync financial data and automate invoicing or inventory updates within your product.
  • Customer Engagement: Build tools that centralize customer data, helping your users track engagement history or power AI-driven recommendations.

New Integrations

Today, Unified.to supports 220+ integrations. Every integration we add to our platform is another integration you can offer your customers. Alongside Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the new integrations in our Repository and LMS APIs, we've added:

Customer.io (Unified Marketing API): a customer engagement platform for personalized, data-driven messaging. This integration supports marketing lists and marketing members.

Firefish (Unified ATS API): Firefish is a recruitment platform that combines applicant tracking, CRM, and marketing features. This integration supports employee, job, candidate, company, application, and candidate activity data.

E-commerce MetaData Object

We've added a new object to the E-Commerce API: commerce_metadata. This makes managing metadata in commerce integrations more structured and scalable.

Here's what you can do:

  • Reuse metadata: Define and share metadata fields across multiple items, collections, or variants.
  • Add context: Include field types and additional details for better organization.
  • Improve scalability: Simplify management of large catalogs with shared metadata fields.

Currently available for Akeneo and Shopify, the commerce_metadata object allows you to retrieve and list metadata definitions. This update makes it easier to build more adaptable and efficient commerce solutions.

Expanded Webhook Capabilities

We've been on a mission to expand both native and virtual webhook coverage across our platform, ensuring real-time updates across the board. We've increased webhook availability to 48% over the last month. Here are some webhook highlights.

Virtual Webhook Enhancements

We've added virtual webhooks for even more objects, enabling real-time updates for platforms that don't natively support webhooks:

Native Webhook Enhancements

Native webhook coverage has also expanded, ensuring faster, event-driven updates for supported platforms:

  • Slack: Channel (created, updated, deleted)
  • ClickUp: Task and Project (created, updated, deleted)
  • Zendesk: Channel, Message, Page, Employee, Customer (created, updated, deleted)

Pagination Support for Webhooks

We've introduced advanced pagination options for webhook events, improving scalability and performance:

  • GitHub: Commit, Branch, Pullrequest, Repository
  • BitBucket: Commit
  • JobScore: Document, Activity

Our webhooks make it easier to access real-time data from more of our integrations.

Improved connections and embedded components pages

We've made updates to the Connections and Embedded Components pages to simplify your workflow and reduce friction when integrating Unified.to into your app.

Here's what's new:

  • Connections Page: Create test connections in the sandbox environment with just the click of a button.
  • Embedded Components Page: We've split up the configuration options and improved the layout of the page, providing a smoother setup experience.

These updates are designed to improve usability and make it faster to get started with Unified.to. Explore the updated pages and experience the improvements firsthand.
