Flexspring Named HR Data Integration Experts of the Year

Microsoft Entra ID to Any HR App Integration: How to Connect Your HR App with Entra ID

When someone is hired in your HR app, their Microsoft Entra ID profile is created automatically, with the access your company’s rules assign — nobody raises a ticket, and nobody waits. When someone is terminated, their profile is set to inactive and access to Entra ID features is suspended. Your HR system stays the record of who works here, and Entra ID stays the record of who can get in.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connection for you. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain, and Flexspring’s experts do all the custom data mapping, including your own field names and custom fields. A custom integration goes live in 7–8 weeks. With Flexspring, you only pay for the use case or use cases you need.

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.
