Flexspring Named HR Data Integration Experts of the Year

Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) with ADP Integration Guide

When someone is hired in ADP, their profile can appear in Microsoft Entra ID automatically and nobody retypes it. Access is granted based on your company's assigned rules, and when someone is terminated their Entra ID profile is set to inactive so access is suspended straight away.

Flexspring builds, hosts and monitors the connection for you. It is an API-to-API connection running in near real time, so there are no files to upload and nothing for your team to run. The connector works with ADP Workforce Now, ADP Workforce Now Next Generation, ADP Lyric HCM, ADP Enterprise HR and ADP Vantage HCM.

How the integration works

1
Scoping. You pick the use cases you need from the list above. Flexspring maps every field between the two systems, including your custom fields and business rules.
2
Direct connection. Flexspring iPaaS connects the two systems to each other over secure APIs. There are no spreadsheets to export, no files to transfer, and no manual steps in the middle.
3
Near real-time sync. When a record changes — a hire, a promotion, an approved time-off request — the change moves across in near real time rather than waiting for an overnight batch.
4
Monitoring and error handling. The integration is monitored continuously, with error handling, visibility into every transaction, and a named support contact. When either app changes their API, Flexspring updates your integration.
5
Ongoing changes. Your integration is future-proofed for ongoing enhancements without re-implementation, and adapts to custom fields, new locations, new systems and business rules.

Flexspring iPaaS does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Frequently asked questions

Which direction does data flow between ADP and Microsoft Entra ID?

ADP is the source of record. New hires and employee updates flow from ADP into Microsoft Entra ID, where employee profiles are created and access is granted based on your company's assigned rules. Flexspring builds each connector to your requirements, so the fields and triggers are matched to how your team works.

What happens in Entra ID when someone leaves the company?

When an employee is terminated in ADP, their Microsoft Entra ID profile is automatically changed to inactive, suspending access to any Entra ID features. This closes the gap between a termination being recorded in ADP and access actually being revoked.

What employee information syncs?

New hires and employee updates from ADP. The connector creates the employee profile in Microsoft Entra ID and applies access based on your company's assigned rules, then keeps that profile current as records change in ADP. Flexspring maps your field names, including custom fields, so the data matches how both systems are set up.

How long does the integration take?

A custom integration of the ADP with Entra ID connector can be fully deployed in 7-8 weeks, depending on complexity.

Is our employee data stored anywhere during the transfer?

No. Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Do we need IT or a developer to set this up?

No. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming how your fields should map.
