Automate user provisioning with Paycor and ADManager Plus integration
Integrating Paycor with ADManager Plus empowers IT teams to automate identity and access management tasks across Active Directory, Exchange, Microsoft 365, and other connected platforms, driven by real-time changes in Paycor. This seamless synchronization between Paycor and Active Directory streamlines user identity management by automating the creation, modification, and deletion of user accounts, significantly reducing manual effort and the potential for errors.
Automate user provisioning
Automatically set up user accounts and update employee information in real-time, reflecting any changes in employee status, based on the latest information in Paycor.
Effective user offboarding
Ensure former employees no longer have access to company systems, reduce security risks, and ensure compliance with data protection policies by automating the deletion or disabling of user accounts when employees leave the organization.

- In the Endpoint Configuration tab, an endpoint, Paycor USERS ENDPOINT, comes pre-configured with an Endpoint URL, API Method, Headers, and Parameters fields to fetch user accounts from Paycor. If you would like to use this preconfigured endpoint, replace {employeeId} with that of your Paycor 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 Paycor's API references. Click here to learn how.
- 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 Paycor's 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.

Outbound webhook configuration
An outbound webhook enables you to send changes made in AD using ADManager Plus to Paycor and carry out tasks in Paycor—all from ADManager Plus. The webhooks configured in this section can be included in Orchestration Templates, which in turn can be used in event-driven and scheduled automations. They can also be applied directly to desired users to perform a sequence of actions on them (under Management > Advanced Management > Orchestration). To configure an outbound webhook for Paycor:
- Under Outbound Webhook, click Paycor 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 Paycor's 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 on which to test the configured API call. Select the desired user or group on 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 according to the configuration.
- The webhook response and request details will then be displayed. Verify them for the expected API behavior and click Save.
