Introducing company tags

We've enhanced our company data model to offer more flexibility. You can now add metadata to a company using the tags object.

What's new?

We've introduced a tags object to our company data model. Tags provide a simple way to include additional information about a company.

For example, you can use tags to set a foreign key, define an operating region or specify details about the financial services the company has requested. Each company can store up to 10 tags.

Key benefits

• Group companies effectively: use tags to group companies by type or other relevant criteria.
• Support event-based architectures: all webhooks related to a specific company now include the tags object so your webhook consumer can access this data easily.
• Filter webhooks to specific consumers: direct webhook messages for specific companies to the appropriate webhook endpoints. See how you can filter webhooks using company tags.
