Get advanced employee data](#) - [What’s Next?](#) August was eventful for us. We added some cool new features, updated some old ones and integrated with more apps. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s new at Knit: 1. Go beyond the common data model ---------------------------------- Common data models can sometimes be limiting. Whenever you are looking to get specific data that is not included in Knit’s common data model, you can use our new feature: **Passthrough Requests.** It enables you to make API calls directly to any of the apps supported by Knit. These API calls are directly sent to the integration’s API. And the best part? All the authentication and authorization processes are taken care of by Knit. [Learn more](https://developers.getknit.dev/reference/passthrough-request) 2. Fetch Raw Values of source data ---------------------------------- Along with fetching data beyond common data models, now, after each sync, you will also get data in its source format i.e. data in each integration’s specific API format instead of Knit’s unified format. If your integrated apps allow setting custom values for specific types of data, this feature will help you capture that raw data value. [Learn more](https://developers.getknit.dev/reference/employee-data-model-4#employee-raw-values) 3. Program your ad-hoc syncs ---------------------------- We have now added a new API to Knit that enables you to start ad-hoc data syncs programmatically instead of having to do it manually every time. If you have a lot of integrated accounts, this simple automation will significantly reduce your integration maintenance time. [See Docs](https://developers.getknit.dev/reference/start-a-sync) 4. New HRIS integrations ------------------------ We have recently added two new HRIS apps to our catalog: UKG Pro and Sage HRIS. With that, our HR integration portfolio (HRIS, Payroll, Directory and ATS) is now 30 apps strong. [Check full catalog](/integrations/) Have any specific integration requests? Please reach out to us [here](https://www.getknit.dev/contact). We would be happy to prioritize your needs. 5. Get advanced employee data ------------------------------ We have updated our employee data models for HRIS with new additions. Now, for each employee, you can fetch identification data along with profile pictures and complete bank account details (e.g. IFSC and branch code etc.) [See more](https://developers.getknit.dev/reference/employee-data-model-4) What’s Next? ------------ The Knit team is working super hard to bring you some cool new features to further streamline your integration processes. **Data filters and multiple user management** are the two of the much awaited updates. Stay tuned for our next email for more info on this. Meanwhile, got any query or request about Knit?
