Webhooks API: Early Adoption Release

A new Webhooks API is now available for Early Adopters. Paylocity can now notify your application in near real time when employee and workforce data changes, so you no longer have to poll APIs to find updates.

With this release, you can:

  • Subscribe to Employee Demographics and Punch Detail event types

  • Create, update, pause, and delete subscriptions

  • Verify deliveries with HMAC-SHA256 signatures

  • Check delivery status and find failed events

    To get started, see the new Webhooks API documentation, starting with the Webhooks Overview page.

API Reference Enhancements

  • Background Check API: Share billing codes across Business Units

    A single billing code can now be linked to multiple Business Units, so you can use one code across several units without creating a separate code for each one.

    What's new:

    • Use the new businessUnitIds field to link one billing code to as many Business Units as you need
    • A package attached to a billing code can be ordered under every Business Unit to which that billing code is linked

      Do I need to change anything? No. Existing integrations keep working as they do today, and the singular businessUnitId field is still supported. You only need to use businessUnitIds if you want one billing code to serve more than one Business Unit.

    To learn more, see the Business Units Overview page.

  • API Basics Webhooks link will now redirect users to a Webhooks API Overview page.

  • Weblink Pay Statement endpoints have been updated so that the dettypes parameter is now appropriately named. (previously was labeled as codegroup )

  • Weblink Rate Limits guidance has been updated for specific callouts for endpoints that have rate limits deviating from the standard.

  • A new set of documents has been created below weblink rate limits to house the legacy webhooks documentation.
