Additional API Authentication Model

Click is excited to announce an additional REST API authentication model. We have taken our first steps in offering an OAuth 2.0 authentication model. This will allow for API access via a timed bearer token.  Currently this functionality is being tested internally in all environments. We plan to allow clients to adopt this method of authentication in the near future.

These changes do not impact the current authentication model that is being utilized. API users will still be able to utilize their x-api-key to access their instance. With the addition of the new authentication model, the "Try it" functionality within the API Dev Portal will no longer auto-populate the x-api-key header. To utilize the x-api-key to authenticate, the header will need to be manually added. This will not impact integrations or third party applications like Postman.

Text Messaging Quiet Period

Click Boarding has implemented an optional quiet period for text messaging. When enabled a quiet period will be set from 09:00 to 17:00 based on the Candidate's timezone. During this time, Click Boarding will not send text messages to the candidate. Any messages that were queued to be sent during that time will be sent once the quiet period is over.

Tax Wizard Updates

Click Boarding is constantly updating our system with the latest tax changes. Our Production environment will be updated to the latest version of our tax wizard with this release. Please click here to view a full list of tax form updates.
