Now Available: Verified Email Flag Management in SAP Concur Profile via Identity 4.1 and UPS 4.0 APIs

We have released a new feature that allows clients to manage the verified email flag within the SAP Concur user profile via the Identity 4.1 or UPS 4.0 APIs. This enhancement provides more flexibility and control over user profile management, improving user verification processes. Users will continue to have the option to verify their email addresses.

Key Features

  • Verified Email Flag Management: Clients can now set or update the verified email flag for user profiles, ensuring that email addresses are correctly marked as verified within the SAP Concur system.
  • API Support: The feature is available through both Identity 4.1 and UPS 4.0 APIs, allowing for seamless integration with your existing systems. Flat file support will follow next year.

How to Use

  • During user creation or updating, set the emails.verified parameter within the Identity 4.1 or UPS 4.0 API to update the status.
  • Refer to the Identity API documentation for details on implementation and parameters.

Benefits

  • Simplifies email management workflows.
  • Reduces the need of manual intervention to set the value.

Now Available: Concur Travel Search Event

Partners have the ability to subscribe to airSearch events which may be used to trigger downstream events. The airSearch event will include the user’s search request data; including requested departure and destination airports, requested departure times and/or arrival times, and requested cabin.

Hotel deep link capabilities have been expanded to allow users to add a hotel to an existing trip. When the tripid is included in the hotel deep link, users will proceed directly to the hotel shop results page using the hotel parameters specified in the deep link. If hotel parameters are not included in the deep link (tripid only), then the user will proceed directly to the hotel shop results page based on the trip booking details. The check-in dates will be based on the departure date of the first flight and the checkout date will be based on the last flight in the itinerary. If a one way flight is booked, the check-out date is take from the trip end date. If no air is booked, then the trip start and end dates are used.
