Data Integration Hub

๐Ÿ“ To access the Data Integration Hub, go to: More > Integrations > Data Integration Hub

Overview

The Data Integration Hub is a centralized place to set up and manage your location's data integration with RedFlag. Choose one primary integration to automatically keep recipient data in sync, with the option to also enable the Recipient API alongside it โ€” or use Recipient API on its own.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Note: Data Integration must be enabled for your location before the Data Integration Hub is available. To enable it, go to More > Location Setup and toggle on Data Integration.


Primary Data Integrations

Only one primary integration can be active at a time. Select the option that best fits your organization's HR or workforce systems.

Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)

Automatically sync users from Microsoft Entra ID. RedFlag connects to Microsoft 365 to manage employee accounts, automatically import users, profile information, and group membership directly from your directory.

Best For:

  • Microsoft 365 organizations
  • Employee directory synchronization
  • Orgs managing users from a single Microsoft tenant

Key Benefits:

  • No file exports required
  • Automated employee synchronization
  • Import users by groups
  • Syncs active users, guests, or members

Data Connector

Connect directly to supported HR and workforce platforms including BambooHR, Workday, UKG Pro, Ceridian Dayforce, and SAP SuccessFactors. Configure your connection once and allow RedFlag to synchronize employee data automatically.

Best For:

  • Organizations using a supported HRIS platform
  • Automated, hands-off employee data syncing
  • Teams that need advanced filtering and field mapping

Key Benefits:

  • Full HR API integration
  • Advanced filtering and data mapping
  • Profile field mapping

sFTP File Import

Import recipient data from scheduled file exports. If your HR system can generate a CSV, TSV, or delimited file, RedFlag can securely import that data through our sFTP service. This is a flexible option for organizations using custom systems or platforms without a direct integration.

Best For:

  • Custom HR systems
  • Automated scheduled imports
  • Organizations already generating scheduled exports

Key Benefits:

  • Works with virtually any system
  • Scheduled automated imports
  • Add, update, and remove recipients
  • Detailed import reporting and error files

Paylocity API

Connect directly to Paylocity for automated employee syncing. Maintain up-to-date employee records in RedFlag without manually exporting files. Changes made in Paylocity automatically sync to RedFlag on a scheduled basis.

Best For:

  • Organizations using Paylocity as their HRIS
  • Automated employee onboarding
  • Reducing manual data maintenance

Key Benefits:

  • Direct API connection
  • Automatic synchronization
  • No file management required
  • Supports custom field mapping

Secondary Data Integration: Recipient API

The Recipient API can be used independently or alongside any primary integration above.

The Recipient API allows you to create, update, and manage recipient records in RedFlag through secure API calls. It can be used as a standalone integration, or alongside Entra ID, sFTP, or Data Connector to supplement recipient data with information from additional systems.

Best For:

  • System applications requiring real-time recipient updates
  • Integrating data from multiple systems
  • Adding and updating recipient records programmatically

Key Benefits:

  • Can be used independently or alongside another integration
  • Real-time recipient updates
  • Add and update recipient records
