How do you get information on a customer account's users and employees?

Unified.to returns a customer account's users and employees through the HR & Directory API's Employee endpoints, on HR integrations and on many CRM, ticketing, accounting and collaboration integrations that list employees, such as HubSpot, Zendesk, QuickBooks and Microsoft Teams. This is achieved using the HR Get Employee and List Employees API endpoints.

GET /hris/{connection_id}/employee

GET /hris/{connection_id}/employee/{id}

The Employee endpoints are available on most of Unified.to's 829 HR & Directory integrations.

Some uses of the Employee endpoints outside HR:

Onboarding: read new employees from the HR system and add them to your task-management or training product, so new hires have access from their first day.

Assigning Leads and Deals: Assign newly created leads and/or deals to a specific sales-rep using their user ID

Notify Hiring Managers: When adding a new candidate and their job application, notify the hiring manager by retrieving their information and emailing them

By integrating employee data across multiple SaaS platforms, organizations can improve operational efficiency, enhance data accuracy, and provide a better employee experience.
