Integrations

The Integrations page is your central hub for connecting your HR system and applications to streamline employee and application management.

By connecting your HR system, employee and department data are automatically ingested into Electric. Any changes, such as a new hire or offboarding, trigger the appropriate tasks, ensuring a seamless and efficient process.

In addition, application integrations enable automatic account creation and deletion for employees throughout their lifecycle. This ensures employees have access to the tools they need from day one and eliminates unauthorized access when offboarding. The Integrations page makes it easy to automate workflows, improve security, and save time.

Application management in the Electric simplifies access control throughout the employee lifecycle.

FAQ

Why am I seeing “Merge” in the popup widget?

Merge is Electric’s technical partner that allows us to connect to multiple integrations with a single framework. Merge will request access to your employees in order to push their names and emails into Electric. You can revoke access at any time should something change. Read more about Merge here.

What HR System data does the sync push from my platform to Electric?

Sync will push an employee’s first name, last name, address, department, phone and work email address exactly as you have entered it in your system. Once the data is synced into Electric, it cannot be edited further in the platform. This is because you should make any changes in your source of truth system. Electric will listen downstream to those changes.

How do I select which employees are active or granted a license in Electric during the initial import?

During the initial import of employees from your HR system, you can select which employees will be active and granted a license in Electric on the Employee Listing page. This allows you to customize which team members are included in Electric right from the start.

How do I connect with ADP?
