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 the Electric IT Hub. 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.
HR System Integrations
HR system integrations enable Electric to access key employee information directly from your HR system. This includes details such as first and last name, personal and work email addresses, phone number, home address, role, department, and employment status. This integration ensures accurate and up-to-date information flows seamlessly into the Electric IT Hub.

Application Integrations
Application management in the Electric IT Hub simplifies access control throughout the employee lifecycle. When an employee is onboarded, their application access is automatically granted, ensuring they have the tools they need from day one. During offboarding, their access is automatically revoked to maintain security. The system also supports managing access changes at any point in between, providing flexibility and control to meet your organization’s needs.

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 the Electric IT Hub. 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 IT Hub, 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?
ADP is fully integrated with the IT Hub and has a real-time connection. If you are an existing ADP customer, you will need to purchase the connector in the ADP marketplace. During this process, you will need to provide your Electric customer ID.
To find your Electric Customer ID:

Can I assign roles or permissions for applications through the Integrations page?
