Release Notes

Note

The structure and use of the API does not change when names of entities or endpoint operation IDs change. These changes are typically made for clarity and consistency.

All changes to the API listed here are also reflected in our Open API definition file.

December 18, 2024

User Management API Update

An optional email property has been added to UserCreateRequest, UserUpdateRequest, and UserResponse.

Note

This is the final 2024 release. There will be no release on 2024-Dec-25, and no release the following week (2025-Jan-01). The next release will be available Wednesday, 2025-Jan-08.

December 11, 2024

Migration API update

The Migration API now allows you to specify Aux Data for importation with AuxDataMigrationRequest.

Identity Providers API update

IdentityProviderResponse now includes a callbackUrl property.

December 4, 2024

New Feature: Data Lake (Beta)

Data Lake provides a relational view of your book of business in Socotra, enabling a wide range of reporting applications. See the Data Lake Guide for details.

New Feature: Value-Based Coverage Terms

Until now, values to be associated with a coverage term had to be defined as a finite set of options in the configuration. To support use cases requiring variable values – such as a computed quantity based on various factors – a coverage term may now be configured to take a value described as a PropertyRef, instead of options. See the Coverage Terms Guide for details.

Other Changes

Use of the pre-commit plugin for delinquency events (method signature PreCommitDelinquencyEventsResponse preCommit(PreCommitPlugin.DelinquencyEventsRequest request)) is now deprecated.
Both “startsWith” and “fuzzy” searches are case-insensitive.

Bug Fixes

Pascal casing for account names is now enforced.
graceEndAt now accounts for gracePeriodDays if that value is set in the pre-commit plugin for delinquency, with graceEndAt taking precedence if it is also set in the plugin.
Deployments API: Validate Config and Format Config responses include a content-type: application/zip header.

November 20, 2024

New Feature: Early Invoicing

Early invoicing allows invoices to be created and sent before the generate time of the installments that they are based on.
See the Early Invoicing Feature Guide for details.

Note

There will be no release on 2024-Nov-27. The next release will be on 2024-Dec-04.

November 13, 2024

New Feature: Delinquency Events

Delinquency events are a new feature that supports extending delinquency processes with additional extensions.
For interacting with events directly, the Fetch Delinquency Events and Update Delinquency Event endpoints are added, along with responses DelinquencyEventsResponse and DelinquencyEventResponse
The endpoint Fetch Delinquency Event Jobs and response types DelinquencyEventJobDataListResponse and DelinquencyEventJobData have been added for job information.
See the Delinquency Events Feature Guide for details.

November 6, 2024

Constraint Tables

There is now an option to use any column (not just the first column) of a constraint table as a list of distinct values for constraints evaluation. Use of the first column is implicit if there is no where clause. To enable other columns, set the makeDistinct property in the column definition to true.
For consistency with other validation checks on configuration deployment, validation of constraint column names is now case sensitive as well. Column names in the constraints definition have to match case with column name in the associated constraint table definition.

Quote Events

Events have been added to signal changes to static data for quotes.
The new event types are policy.quote.staticdata.add, policy.quote.staticdata.replace, and policy.quote.staticdata.update, each of which emit a QuoteEventData object.

Optional Properties

The following properties are now marked as optional:

See the Security Features section of the Webhooks configuration guide for implementation details.

Yet More Changes to Paged List Fetch Semantics

Similar to the endpoints that were enhanced last week, when fetching entities with any of the following endpoints, a new query parameter is available called extended. Setting extended to true means that the return object will not be a bare array of entities, but rather a List Contents object that includes an indicator that the list is complete. The following endpoints have been changed:

Fetch Multiple Basic Users returns BasicUserListResponse (and, UserBasicResponse has been renamed to BasicUserResponse)
Fetch Tenants returns TenantListResponse
Fetch Invoices for Policy, Fetch Invoices for Account, Fetch Invoices for Quote, Fetch Invoices Targeted By a Credit Distribution and Fetch Invoices Targeted By a Payment return InvoiceListResponse
Fetch Installments for Policy, Fetch Installments for Policy Transaction, Fetch Installments for Quote return InstallmentListResponse
Fetch Installment Lattices By Policy Locator returns InstallmentLatticeListResponse
Fetch Multiple Payments and Fetch Payments for an Invoice return PaymentListResponse
Fetch Multiple Disbursements returns DisbursementListResponse
Fetch Multiple Credit Distributions and Fetch Credit Distributions for an Invoice return CreditDistributionListResponse
Get Delinquencies for Account, Get Delinquencies for Quote, Get Delinquencies for Policy and Get Delinquencies for Invoice return DelinquencyListResponse
Fetch Credits and Fetch Credits for an Invoice return CreditListResponse
Fetch Multiple Shortfall Credits returns ShortfallCreditListResponse
Fetch Multiple Write Offs returns WriteOffListResponse

Fetch Installments Job Data for Transactions, Fetch Installments Job Data for Quotes return InstallmentJobDataListResponse
Fetch Delinquency Grace Job returns GraceJobDataListResponse
Fetch Create Delinquencies Job Data for Invoice returns DelinquencyCreateJobDataListResponse

The Open API descriptor file and documentation for endpoints expresses these responses as if the extended property were set to true.

Note

Later, the extended property will be deprecated, and then removed and the default behavior will be as if it were true. Until then, the default value for this flag is false.

Other Changes

There is a new Feature Guide for Dynamic Documents!
There is a new block of example code provided for the Document Data Snapshot Plugin configuration guide.
The InvoiceItemResponse entity has new property invoiceItemLocators.
The InvoiceItemPreview entity has new optional properties policyLocator, quoteLocator, chargeCategory, chargeType, and transactionLocators.

October 16, 2024

Entity Numbering

Several system entities, including accounts, policies, quotes, policy terms, invoices, and disbursements can now have automatically generated numbers, for use on printed documents, portal and app screens, etc.
This provides a much easier, human-readable identifier compared to locators.
Numbers are ideal for use in customer service and similar situations.
See the Entity Numbering Feature Guide for details.

More Changes to Paged List Fetch Semantics

When fetching entities with any of the following endpoints, a new query parameter is available called extended.

Added the Format Config endpoint to convert a configuration’s property casing to match requrements.
Added the resetToDraft query parameter for the Reset Transaction endpoint. If true, then the transaction will revert to draft state and the generated segment data, including elements and data, will be discarded. If false (the default), then the transaction will revert to initialized state and the segment data will be retained. This is useful to preserve the locator data for generated elements.

April 17, 2024

Optional and Required Properties

The process for determining whether properties on entities were “required” (i.e. must be set on requests, or will always be set on responses) has moved from a manual to automated process. As a result of this some fields have changed from being indicated as required (with no suffix on their type name), or optional (with a ? suffix on the type name.)

Write-Offs

Added endpoints for write-off of invoices:

Term Summary

Term Summaries are views of the term based on issued transactions, showing in-force coverage only. This essentially flattens the transactions that affect the term into a single series of segments, such that the segments cover the entire term without overlaps or time periods without segments. This is useful to understand the state of the term without constructing it from the transaction stack.

The Fetch Term Summary By Term Locator and Fetch Term Summary By Term Number endpoints fetch the overall term summary, and contains summary objects for segments and elements. Extension data and charge information is included in the element summary.

Other Changes

The roundingMode property on PropertyRef has changed its enumeration values to use camel case: ceiling, down, floor, halfDown, halfEven, halfUp-up
