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.

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
businessUnitIdsfield 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

To learn more, see the Business Units Overview page.
