Automate payroll and user management with Staffology-AD integration

Identity provisioning

Staffology is cloud-based payroll software that helps business finance teams automate complex payroll operations and reduce administrative overhead. It helps businesses manage employee payments, taxes, and benefits while ensuring compliance with the latest regulations. Integrating Staffology with ADManager Plus enables businesses to automate user provisioning and synchronize employee data between HR and IT systems. This integration ensures that user accounts are accurately and efficiently managed across Active Directory (AD), Exchange, Microsoft 365, and other enterprise applications, enhancing workforce management and minimizing manual intervention.

 

Automate user creation

Automate user creation from Staffology to AD and grant necessary permissions across Exchange, Microsoft 365, and other business applications when new employee records are added to Staffology.

 

Effective offboarding

Streamline the removal of user access and permissions to ensure secure, compliant account deactivations.

 

How to integrate ADManager Plus and Staffology

Prerequisites

Staffology uses basic authentication to authorize API requests and requires username and password credentials for authorization.

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 Staffology (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 help perform basic actions with the integration. If the action you require is not available, please gather the necessary API details from Staffology's API documentation to configure inbound or 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 Staffology.
  • Toggle the Enable Staffology Integration button on.
  • On the Staffology Configuration page, click Authorization.
  • Enter the authentication credentials.
  • Click Configure.

Inbound webhook configuration

Inbound webhooks enable you to fetch user data from Staffology and send it to ADManager Plus. The attribute mapping configured in this section can be selected as the data source during automation configuration to perform the desired action on the list of users received from the API response. To configure an inbound webhook for Staffology:

  • Under Inbound Webhook, click Staffology Endpoint Configuration.

  • In the Endpoint Configuration tab, an endpoint, Staffology USERS ENDPOINT, comes preconfigured with Endpoint URL, API Method, Headers, and Parameters fields to fetch user accounts from Staffology. To use this preconfigured endpoint, replace {subdomain} with the domain name of your Staffology instance in the Endpoint URL field. If you would like to use a new endpoint to import users, you can configure one by using the + Add API endpoint button and filling in the required fields as per Staffology's API documentation. Click here to learn how.

    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 requirements using the macro chooser component.>
    • Refer to Staffology's API documentation 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. Click Proceed.

    Note:

    • Refer to Staffology's API documentation to view the Parameters that must be configured to fetch only specific parameters.
    • You can configure multiple endpoints for Staffology using the + Add API endpoint button. Click here to learn how.

  • Click Data Source - LDAP Attribute Mapping to match endpoints and to map AD LDAP attributes with the respective attributes in Staffology.

    [ADManager Plus also lets you customize the attribute format from Staffology.]

  • Click + Add New Configuration and perform the following:

    • Enter the Configuration Name and Description, and then 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 column in Staffology.
    • If you would like to create a new custom format for this, click Mapping Attribute.
    • Click Save.

Outbound webhook configuration

Outbound webhooks enable you to update the changes made in AD using ADManager Plus to Staffology or fetch or forward required details from Staffology and synchronize them with AD. To configure an outbound webhook for Staffology:

  • Under Outbound Webhook, click Staffology 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 Staffology's API documentation for the API details, such as the URL, headers, parameters, and other requirements that will be needed.
  • 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.
Note: The configured webhooks can be integrated into Orchestration Templates—enabling scheduled or event-driven automation—to consecutively perform a sequence of actions on a group of users or on individual users.
