Updated over 6 months ago

Empuls and Zoho People help you automate user data management and seamlessly drive people initiatives across your organisation.

With this integration, you can:

  • To connect Empuls with Zoho People, follow a hassle-free process. To initiate the process, you must be an admin on both systems.

  • Automatically sync data to Empuls when you add new hires, delete exited employees, and update employee data in Zoho People.

  • Import employee birthday and work anniversary data from Zoho People to celebrate these special days with automated greetings and gifts.

Once this integration is enabled, the data sync once every 24 hours between Empuls and your Zoho People account will happen.
