WebHR
Automate workforce management with WebHR and ADManager Plus integration
WebHR is a cloud-based HR management system designed to streamline HR operations from recruitment to retirement. Enabling WebHR - ADManager Plus integration orchestrates AD synchronization to automate user provisioning by bridging the gap between HR and IT systems, ensuring efficient workforce management. This integration facilitates the automation of onboarding user accounts while minimizing manual intervention and reducing human errors.
Automated user provisioning
Automatically create user accounts and grant appropriate access rights in Active Directory (AD), Exchange, Microsoft365 and other enterprise applications as soon as employees are onboarded in WebHR.
Bi-directional sync
Maintain consistent and accurate employee data across both HR and IT systems. All user creation updates made in WebHR are automatically reflected in AD, and vice versa. This bidirectional synchronization helps in reducing discrepancies and maintains data integrity throughout the employee life cycle.
Prerequisites:
WebHR uses OAuth2.0 to authorize API requests. You'll need to have the client_id and client_secret to retrieve desired information and perform tasks in WebHR. Refer to WebHR's API documentation for more details.
Privileges:
- To import users from WebHR (inbound action): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to read all user accounts.
- To perform any action or query in WebHR (outbound action): Ensure the account used for authorization has permission to perform the desired action.
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 WebHR.
- Toggle the Enable WebHR Integration button on.
- On the WebHR Configuration page, click Authorization.
- Enter the client_id and client_secret values generated in WebHR into the respective fields.
- Click Configure.
Inbound webhook configuration
Inbound webhooks enable you to fetch user data from WebHR 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 WebHR:
- Under Inbound Webhook, click WebHR Endpoint Configuration.
- In the Endpoint Configuration tab, an endpoint, WebHR USERS ENDPOINT, comes preconfigured with Endpoint URL, API Method, Headers, and Parameters fields to fetch user accounts from WebHR. 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 WebHR's API documentation. 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 requirements using the macro chooser component.
- Refer to WebHR'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.
- Refer to WebHR's API documentation to learn about the parameters that must be configured to fetch only specific parameters.
- You can configure multiple endpoints for WebHR 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 WebHR. [ADManager Plus also lets you customize attribute format from WebHR.]
- Click + Add New Configuration and perform the following actions:
- 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 WebHR.
- If you would like to create a new custom format for this, click Mapping Attribute.
- Click Save.
Note:
Note:
Outbound webhook configuration
Outbound webhooks enable you to update the changes made in AD by sending the information from ADManager Plus to WebHR, or to fetch or forward required details from WebHR and synchronize them with AD. To configure an outbound webhook for WebHR:
- Under Outbound Webhook, click WebHR 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 WebHR's API documentation for the API details, such as URL, headers, and parameters.
- 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.
