Reports

Imports

Import app has been improved with better error reporting and improvements to the user experionce and workflow.

API and Webhooks

Hooks have been enhanced to include a data object which contains relevant data available for the event resource. To avoid adding overhead the data object includes only the information that has been posted and not the full response of a GET call.
E.g. A change status action on an Absence will trigger for any subscriptions on absence.update including a data object with only the status value which the absence was changed to.
While current implementations should not be affected, they would definitely benefit from the improved efficiency of checking the data available in the payload before processing further.
