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

When a manager presses the hired button in your HR app, the new employee’s record appears in TimeForge automatically — nobody retypes it. Flexspring connects any HR app to TimeForge, so new hires arrive with the essential information your managers need to schedule and manage the workforce, and later changes to demographic or status data follow the same path.

These are the two TimeForge integrations Flexspring is asked for most often, and each one is bought separately. The connection runs API-to-API in near real time rather than as a scheduled file transfer, so managers are not waiting on an overnight batch.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connection for you and does all the data mapping, including your custom fields. There are no files to upload and nothing for your team to maintain. 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.

Frequently asked questions

What does TimeForge integrate with?

With data integration, TimeForge connects to any HR app you already run, including ADP, Dayforce, Paychex, Paycor, Paylocity, UKG, and Workday. New hires move from your HR app into TimeForge as soon as a manager presses the hired button, and later changes to employee demographic and status data follow automatically. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

How do I connect TimeForge to my HR app?

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. The connection runs over a near real-time API-to-API connection rather than a scheduled file transfer.

What employee information syncs?

With data integration, new hire data syncs from your HR app into TimeForge, including your custom fields and the essential information your managers need to schedule and manage the workforce. Employee updates follow, covering the demographic and status changes recorded in your HR app.

How long does the integration take?

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. The connector is custom-built for your business and runs API-to-API in near real time rather than as a scheduled file transfer. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

Is our employee data stored anywhere during the transfer?

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 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.

Why connect TimeForge to your HR apps?

With data integration, when a manager presses the hired button in your HR app, the new employee’s record appears in TimeForge automatically — nobody retypes it. Managers get the information they need to schedule and manage the workforce without waiting on HR, and later demographic and status changes follow the same path.

What’s the best way to connect TimeForge to your HR apps?

The best way to connect TimeForge to your HR apps 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.
