In January, Argyle introduced a new Get started tab to help you hit the ground running with Argyle.

• The payDistributionAutoTrigger parameter was added to the Link configuration. By setting it to true, the deep linked returning users are taken directly to the Direct Deposit Switching screen, if a pay distribution configuration is provided.
• The default values for payDistributionReviewScreenTitle and payDistributionReviewScreenSubtitle parameters have changed. For more information, please refer to the Link Customization Guide.

The Argyle API will start defaulting allow_add_allocation flag to false, ignoring the value passed in Pay Distribution Config. As a result, your users will no longer be able to add custom allocations via Link. This legacy feature has been removed as it is no longer actively used by any of Argyle’s clients.

The Sandbox environment username and email credentials have changed. You can find the latest credentials in the API Reference.

To avoid any breaking changes in your implementation, the previous Sandbox credentials will continue to work. They will eventually be phased out, therefore it is recommended to use the new Sandbox credentials.

The value of the unique item_id was exposed in the /Link-items endpoint, in order to assist you in mapping the items and keeping track of individual items that might be removed.

• You can now query items by both the human-readable id and non human-readable item_id (UUID), in order to get more specific results.

More information can be found on the API Reference page.

The onError callback is now also available on Web SDK. Furthermore, onError has been improved with additional error types.

In order to improve and prepare for product betterment, a new field has been added to the payload returned by /link-items endpoint:

• item_id - represents a unique Link item identifier using standard UUID format

This change is in preparation for the capability to query link items by their item_id and for deprecating the string-based id field in the future.

In December, Argyle introduced these enhancements in Argyle Console:

Console’s side navigation panel has been refreshed in order to simplify toggling between sandbox and production mode, to allow you to more easily navigate to your account and company details, and to more clearly lay out the different areas of functionality available in Console.

• For faster communication on Link items health, we have introduced two new fields that will be present on the response payload for /link-items endpoint from now on:
• status - will reflect the health of the Link item

• status_details - description of the issue in case the status is not healthy

  We encourage you to set up API polling in order to proactively get the latest updates on Link item issues.

• In order to improve and prepare for product betterment, we are adding two new fields to the payload returned by /pay-allocations endpoint:
• method - the method of the deposit

• card - in preparation for an upcoming feature

  The card object will appear in the payload, but all fields will return null.

• When the user selects a payroll platform already supported by Argyle on Can't find your employer? questionnaire, they will have the chance to directly log in to that specific payroll platform.
• The Login screen now features the show/hide password button to enhance the login experience.
• “Primary” pay allocation is renamed to “Remainder” in order to help the understanding of amount allocations.
