Webhooks by Symmetry
Never miss a payroll tax update again.
Webhooks by Symmetry allows your application to stay in sync with payroll tax updates from the Symmetry Tax Engine API. You can register webhooks in the developer portal to send data to your payroll application in real-time based on triggered events such as new tax IDs, new rates, and jurisdiction parameter changes.
Data Automation for Modern Applications.
Payroll tax updates occur frequently throughout the year – taxes are added, edited, or removed and other jurisdictional parameters such as withholding form fields are updated. If the updates are not managed, the client data used to calculate payroll can become stale or exclude newer data inputs necessary to calculate payroll accurately. With Webhooks by Symmetry, you can keep your payroll application up to date with critical payroll updates driven by the Symmetry Tax Engine.

What is a webhook?
Webhooks send information via an HTTP request to an application any time a specific event happens. They let you stay up to date when any new data is added, updated, or deleted. In the case of Webhooks by Symmetry, any tax changes or jurisdictional parameter updates can be sent as a payload to a client’s domain or unique URL. Webhooks are automatic meaning they fire as soon as an event in the sending system is triggered.
What are webhooks used for?
Webhooks are used to keep information accurate and up to date. In their absence, manual and repeatable processes must be created.
What types of applications could benefit from Webhooks by Symmetry?
Any developer with a need for the latest payroll tax changes including new taxes, changes to tax rates, and jurisdiction parameters can benefit from Webhooks by Symmetry. For example, B2B platforms who want to innovate on payroll, developers who touch HR and taxes who need point solutions for automation, and software providers building a new or supplementing an existing payroll application.
