Automate workforce management with Nimble - ADManager Plus integration

Identity provisioning

Nimble is a CRM platform that integrates with various communication tools and social media platforms to provide businesses with a unified view of their contacts, allowing them to manage relationships and track interactions. Integrating Nimble with ManageEngine ADManager Plus allows IT teams to automate user management between AD and Nimble, ensuring efficient synchronization of user accounts, roles, and permissions across platforms. This integration simplifies user lifecycle management and ensures a secure, centralized system for maintaining user data in both Nimble and AD.

 

User creation

Automatically create user accounts in Nimble with the appropriate permissions based on new user data from Active Directory, eliminating manual intervention.

 

Effortless offboarding

When a user account is disabled or removed in AD, automatically deactivate the corresponding Nimble account from ADManager Plus, ensuring timely access revocation and safeguarding sensitive data.

Outbound webhook configuration

Outbound webhook enables you to send changes made in AD to Nimble, and carry out tasks in Nimble—all from ADManager Plus.

  • 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.
