15Five

Automate employee onboarding with 15Five and Active Directory sync

Workforce management Identity provisioning

15Five is a performance management platform that helps organizations improve employee engagement, productivity, and development through continuous feedback, goal tracking, and performance reviews. Integrating 15Five with ManageEngine ADManager Plus enables organizations to automate user life cycle management across Active Directory (AD), Exchange, Microsoft365, and other connected platforms. This integration reduces manual tasks, enhances data accuracy, and ensures that user roles and permissions are always up to date, allowing IT and HR teams to manage user records more efficiently.

 

Automate bulk user creation

Workflows can be set up to automate bulk user creation in AD when new user records are added to 15Five, ensuring seamless onboarding. Similarly, when users are created in AD, workflows can trigger their automatic addition to 15Five, keeping both systems in sync.

 

Bulk user updates

Workflows allow for bulk synchronization of user updates, ensuring that any modifications made in AD, such as role or department changes, are automatically reflected across 15Five, maintaining consistency between systems.

Prerequisites

Provide the Bearer token to retrieve desired information and perform tasks in 15Five. For more details, refer to the 15Five API references.

Privileges

To import users (inbound action): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to read all user accounts.

To perform any action or query in 15Five (outbound action): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to perform the desired action.

Note: ADManager Plus comes with a preconfigured set of APIs that helps perform basic actions with the integration. If the action you require is not available, please gather the necessary API details from the 15Five API documentation to configure under inbound/outbound webhooks to perform the required actions.

Authorization configuration

  • Log in to ADManager Plus and navigate to the Automation tab.
  • In the left pane, under Configuration, click Application Integrations.
  • Under Enterprise Applications, click 15Five.
  • Toggle the Enable 15Five Integration button on.
  • In the 15Five Configuration page, click Authorization.
  • Perform the steps to generate a Bearer token in 15Five and paste the Bearer token in the Value field.
  • Click Configure.

Inbound webhook configuration

Inbound webhook enables you to fetch user data from 15Five to ADManager Plus. The attribute mapping configured in this section can be selected as the data source during automation configuration. To configure an inbound webhook for 15Five:

  • Under Inbound Webhook, click 15Five Endpoint Configuration.
  • In the Endpoint Configuration tab, an endpoint, 15Five USERS ENDPOINT, comes pre-configured with an Endpoint URL, API Method, Headers, and Parameters fields to fetch user accounts from 15Five. To use this preconfigured endpoint, replace {Product ID} with that of your 15Five instance in the Endpoint URL field. However, if you would like to use a new endpoint to import users, you can configure one using the + Add API endpoint button and filling in the required fields as per the 15Five API references. To learn how, click here.
  • Note:

    • The API key value pair is preconfigured as a header for authenticating API requests as configured during authorization configuration.
    • Macros: You can add macros to your endpoint configuration to dynamically change it as per your requirement using the macro chooser component.
    • Refer to the 15Five API references and configure additional headers and parameters, if required.
  • Once done, click Test & Save. A response window will display all the requested parameters that can be fetched using the API call. After verifying if the requested parameters have been called to action, click Proceed.
  • Note:

    • Refer to the 15Five API references to get the Parameters that must be configured to fetch only specific parameters.
    • You can configure multiple endpoints for 15Five using the + Add API endpoint button. To learn how, click here.
  • Click Data Source - LDAP Attribute Mapping to match endpoints and to map AD LDAP attributes with the respective attributes in 15Five.
  • Click + Add New Configuration and perform the following:
    • Enter the Configuration Name and Description and select the Automation Category from the drop-down menu.
    • In the Select Endpoint field, select the desired endpoint and a Primary Key that is unique to a user (e.g., employeeIdentifier).

    Note: When multiple endpoints are configured, this attribute must hold the same value in all the endpoints.

    • In the Attribute Mapping field, select the attribute from the LDAP Attribute Name drop-down menu and map it with the respective attribute in 15Five.
    • If you would like to create a new custom format for this, click Add New Format.
    • Click Save.

Outbound webhook configuration

Outbound webhook enables you to send changes made in AD to 15Five, and carry out tasks in 15Five, all from ADManager Plus. The webhooks configured in this section can be included in Orchestration Templates, which can be used during event-driven and scheduled automations. They can also be applied directly to desired users to perform a sequence of actions on them (Management > Advanced Management > Orchestration).

To configure outbound webhooks for 15Five:

  • Under Outbound Webhook, click 15Five Webhook Configuration.
  • Click + Add Webhook.
  • Enter a name and description for this webhook.
  • Decide on the action that has to be performed and refer to the 15Five API references for the API details, such as the URL, headers, parameters, and other requirements.
  • Select the HTTP method that will enable you to perform the desired action on the endpoint from the drop-down menu.
  • Enter the endpoint URL.
  • Configure the Headers, Parameters, and Message Type in the appropriate format based on the API call that you would like to perform.
  • Click Test and Save.
  • A pop-up window will then display a list of AD users and groups to test the configured API call. Select the desired user or group over which this API request has to be tested and click OK. This will make a real-time call to the endpoint URL, and the selected objects will be modified as per the configuration.
  • The webhook response and request details will then be displayed. Verify them for the expected API behavior and click Save.
