Hello beacondental,

The Certifications tool isn’t commonly used, so the value of adding API endpoints for it looks pretty low at first glance. Before we consider moving forward, could you email us with some details about your specific use case and workflow? That will help us understand what you’re trying to accomplish and whether Certifications is really the right feature to meet your needs.

Thanks!

We wanted to build a workflow notifications on when employee certifications expire and when it get renewed. Reminder emails sent to employees as well if they forget.

Hello beacondental,

If you're building a notification system for when an employee certification expires or gets renewed, you can currently do this by querying the cert and certemployee table using a ShortQuery.

Thanks!
