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.

Get tools

Trigger sync

Create a new link that can be passed to the Kombo Connect SDK to open the provisioning setup UI.

Create provisioning setup link

Get all custom fields available on the specified integration.

Get custom fields with current mappings

Updates the mapping of a given custom field. If the custom field is already mapped, it will be updated.

Put custom field mappings

Get all fields available on the specified integration.

Get integration fields

When enabled, the integration field will be passed as part of the `integration_fields` array on the specific model endpoint. Providing false will disable the passthrough for the specified field.

Updates an integration fields passthrough setting

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

Send passthrough request

Learn how to set up a DATEV payroll integration with Kombo.

DATEV Integration

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

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

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

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.

Push payroll data to DATEV

Create a request for an electronic certificate of incapacity for work (eAU).

Create eAU Request

This endpoint validates that this DATEV integration is ready to use the eAU feature.

Verify eAU is ready for this DATEV integration

This endpoint queries the status of the eAU request for the given DATEV integration.

Query the status of the eAU request
