Generate a unique link that allows your user to enter the embedded Kombo Connect flow.

Create connection link

Use this endpoint with the token you get from the connection flow to retrieve information about the created integration.

Get integration by token

Use this endpoint with the token you get from the connection flow to retrieve information about the created integration. It works in a similar way as the OAuth2 code flow to securely retrieve information and connect the integration to your user. You do not need to call this endpoint for an integration to become active.

Activate integration (optional)

Create a link that will allow the user to reconnect an integration. This is useful if you want to allow your users to update the credentials if the old ones for example expired.

Create reconnection link

Get a list of the tools (i.e., integrations) enabled in your environment.

Send a request to the specified integration's native API.

Send passthrough request

This endpoint returns whether you can write to this DATEV integration.

Verify service is enabled

This action allows to send an arbitrary ASCII file directly to DATEV LODAS or Lohn und Gehalt. Kombo adds validation for the file format but not on the content. This action allows you to implement any use case that you might have with DATEV payroll ASCII imports.

Write raw DATEV ASCII file

This endpoint returns BeraterNr (consultant_number), MandantenNr (client_number) and the payroll system (LODAS or Lohn und Gehalt). Useful to generate a DATEV ASCII file for the passthrough endpoint.

Get DATEV system information

Returns all "DATEV Data Pushes" of the last 2 months. You can use this endpoint to give your users transparency about submitted "ASCII-Files" and their status. Each data push can contain multiple files that were submitted.

Get DATEV data pushes

This endpoint returns the available document types for this DATEV integration.

Use this endpoint to get all available documents for a specific period.

Legacy write-only DATEV Integration guide

What DATEV requires to prepare payroll is very specific and currently, as DATEV is not providing "read", this is not part of the unified model.

Prepare DATEV Payroll

Sets the compensations for an employee on the specified effective date.

Set DATEV compensations

Uploads the currently relevant general data (employees, compensations, and time offs) to DATEV. This will create so called ASCII files that the accountant has to import in DATEV. You can call this endpoint to implement an on-demand sync to DATEV, for example if you want to offer your users a button to do that in your application.

Push general data to DATEV

Uploads the currently relevant payroll data (supplements) to DATEV. This will create so called ASCII files that the accountant has to import in DATEV. After finishing the payroll preparation or after correcting payroll, you can call this.
