The external_id field supports up to 100 characters and can be used as a filter when listing users. Multiple users can have the same external_id value.

When retrieving an Item by its ID, a new mapping_status field is now returned with three possible values:

• verified — The payroll system associated with the Item is known, and the Item has previously experienced a successful connection.
• mapped — The payroll system associated with the Item is known, but the Item is awaiting a successful connection.
• unmapped — The payroll system associated with this Item is not yet known. If an unmapped Item is selected in Link, the user will be given the option to search for the relevant payroll system and attempt to connect using their login credentials.

Changes to an Item's mapping_status value will result in a new Item notification and cause the items.updated webhook to be sent.

PrimePay, a payroll provider serving the food service, healthcare, manufacturing, and franchise industries, has been added to Argyle's coverage.

PrimePay can be accessed via the Item ID item_000109308 (Link 5) or Link item ID prime_pay (Link 4).

Two additional fields have been added to the API v1 /income-totals endpoint:

• period_start_date — The start_date of the earliest payout used for the income totals.
• period_end_date — The end_date of the most recent payout used for the income totals.

The Shifts data set is now available via Argyle's API.

• Retrieve information on individual work shifts, including when they started and ended, any breaks taken, and total hours worked.
• Stay notified of new shifts data via Shifts webhooks.

Items webhooks are now available.

• Subscribe to any list of up to 30 employers or payroll platforms in Link.
• Receive real-time updates on changes to connection health, known data limitations, and platform maintenance.

How often payroll connections are re-scanned for new data is now returned in the refresh_frequency field when retrieving an Item by its ID via the API.

Flutter is now a supported SDK for mobile implementations of Link.
