Changelog
Learn about Merge’s latest integrations and features
Workday ATS was on our list of holiday gifts and the Merge Platform delivered this present well ahead of schedule! We're thrilled to share beta access with our customers.
New Writes Functionality
We will be making a significant update to how we handle writes next week on 12/14/21 that will enable feature-rich writes, programmatic validation, better de-bugging, and integration-specific fields. The shape of request and response bodies will be changing to accommodate these features
The update we’re making will not break any existing writes and we will maintain support for them. However, if you want to access new writes and features associated with them as we continue to enhance this offering, you will need to update your SDK to handle the changes. We also recommend pinning your current SDK version in light of this change.

Control Which Common Models You Sync
Data security is a massive priority here at Merge and we know it is for our customers too. We're grateful we've built trust with our customers who pass massive amounts of data via Merge every day. Toggling common models so that our customers only sync data they need and don't store any additional data has been a big wishlist item of ours and our users for a while, and it's officially here!
You can check out the Common Models tab in our Configuration section and set what common models you want to sync via Merge!
Merge Link Subdomain Prefixes and Suffixes
For integrations where a customer inputs a subdomain during the linking flow, we now show the expected prefix and suffix for the URL the customer would get the subdomain from. We also validate that the customer's input doesn't contain a prefix or suffix, which simplifies the linking flow!
Help Center
New TriNet articles: We've updated our documentation to include instructions for both developers and TriNet customers so that our customers are aware of how they can become listed as official TriNet integrations, and our end users are able to understand exactly what they need to do to generate credentials!
