Is it possible to build an outbound generic benefit integration ( ex - New York Life) in Integration Studio when there is no prebuilt connector?

Hello @Brenda Sutton​ Just wanted to check when the new Metlife Prebuilt connectors [ like MetLife (All Core Voluntary Products Layout), MetLife (ONE Layout) ] will be rolled out for the Config instances? My current Config environment is Release 2026.1.1.8.2, Build: 73.0.82.24609. As you shared earlier plan for Dayforce Release 2026.2.0, I see that Production upgrades for Remaining waves start on 10 Sep 2026. But i don't see new Metlife Prebuilt connectors in my Config environment yet. Appreciate your insights.

Hi Prateek, Yes, the 14 prebuilt connectors were released as part of the 2026.2.0.0 release on July 30. They will become available in your client’s environment once the environment has been upgraded to that release.

Hope that helps!

@Prateek Dwivedi​ , here is a link to the PRN that should be very helpful to you: https://servicepartner.dayforce.com/s/article/000009399 . It explains the process and timing for all instances for partners and customers. @Tony Singh​ not sure if you can add anything else here.
