Extending the model
How to make Kombo’s unified models fit your product
All HR systems are inherently limited in the number of standard fields they can offer. If your product depends on additional customization, we offer to extend what data we return in multiple ways.
Custom Fields
The most common use case is custom fields. Many HR systems have implemented this concept, allowing you to add additional fields to the standard model. We expose these custom fields and provide various ways to extend our unified model to enable all your integrations to follow the same pattern.
Passthrough API
For rare edge cases where custom fields are insufficient to handle your product’s needs, Kombo offers the Passthrough API. The Passthrough API is designed to bridge the gap between our unified API and integration-specific requirements you may have. It allows you to interact directly with the native APIs of specific integrations, enabling deep customization and tailored functionality for individual customers.
