As of September 16, 2024 the following attributes were deprecated from the response of the GET Absence Types endpoint (https://developer.personio.de/reference/get_company-time-off-types)

As of October 9, 2024 Personio will update the error response of the v1 GET Absence Periods endpoint (https://api.personio.de/v1/company/absence-periods) to return a 404 error response when an invalid Absence Type ID is provided in the query parameter of a request. Currently, when an invalid Absence Type ID is provided in the query parameter, a 500 error response is provided.

Context:

Personio has added a new Absence Webhook to its catalog of webhook offerings i.e. Absence Status Updated (documentation here: https://developer.personio.de/v2.0/reference/webhooks#absence-periodupdatedstatus) which is triggered when the status of an Absence period is changed, for eg. from "Pending" to "Approved".

The POST Create Compensation endpoint has been erroneously returning additional attributes in the 'type' object. These attributes will be removed from the response on 18 November, 2024 and are as follows:

Personio is proud to announce the GA launch of webhooks for Creation/Updation/Deletion (C/U/D) events for Absences and Attendances, to all our customers and partners. The specific event descriptions for these events are hosted here ; Please do note that the IDs returned in these webhooks are ONLY compatible with the v2 endpoints for Absences and Attendances , which are currently in Open Alpha.

Personio is proud to announce the launch of our Attendance v2 and Absence v2 APIs into Open Alpha. They are ready for use by all of Personio's customers and partners; Since these APIs are in Alpha, we expect further evolutionary changes before they are promoted to General Availability.

Currently, when existing API credentials are updated by adding/removing endpoint scopes, the existing tokens are not invalidated. Starting September 2, once scopes are added or removed, the existing authenticated API credentials will be invalidated, requiring clients to re-authenticate.

The v2 Persons GET, POST and PATCH Persons endpoint now allows for the retrieval, creation and updation, respectively, of values for the attribute 'full_time_weekly_working_hours' and therefore enables programmatic control over the maximum working hours for one or more employees in an organization.

Personio has added two new webhooks to its roster i.e. 'employment.started' and 'employment.terminated' (https://developer.personio.de/v2.0/reference/webhooks); These webhooks are triggered for a specific set of employees on the date of occurence of the employment start and/or the employment termination events.
