Salesforce to Any HR App Integration: How to Connect Salesforce with Your HR Apps

With data integration, new hires, employee updates and time and attendance summaries move from Salesforce into your payroll system, paycheck data comes back into Salesforce after each cycle, and your ATS, core HR system and ERP exchange candidate, employee and time card data with Salesforce. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain. Flexspring’s connectors are the only approved Salesforce connectors on the ADP Marketplace, the Paychex Marketplace and the Paylocity Marketplace.

With data integration, new hires, employee updates including promotions, terminations and rehires, and time and attendance summaries sync from Salesforce into payroll, and paycheck data returns so employees can see their payslip. Your ATS exchanges new hires, profile updates, transfers and promotions, and foundational data with Salesforce, your HCM or core HR system receives new hires and employee updates, and time card data reaches your ERP for job costing. You can also add one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, equity systems, background checks, and assessments.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A custom integration of the Flexspring connector for Salesforce with your HR app is fully deployed in 10–12 weeks, depending on complexity.

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. 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 Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

The best way to connect Salesforce to your HR app depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s — built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
