Founded in Australia in 2009, Ento is a powerful workforce management solution that allows shift-based workforces to manage rostering, time & attendance, leave, and onboarding from one centralised platform. Ento has built an integration/add-on that is native to its platform (free of cost to begin using) and accessible for any users of both Ento and intelliHR.
This article covers:
What will the integration do?
✅ When switched on, the add-on will hook directly into intelliHR and automatically send through current staff that have an active primary job from intelliHR to Ento.
✅ The integration gives you the ability to use intelliHR as a core HR and performance management source of truth, with Ento automatically pulling in active staff (both in real-time and overnight) that are on a primary job – ready to be rostered.
✅ Ento will also keep an eye out for any updates you make to your staff in intelliHR so that you eliminate double-handling of information.
Flow of Data
Connection & Data Mapping
General details, employee mapping, job mapping and custom fields mapping options are set within the add-on edit screen in the Ento platform:
1. General Details
Ento Set Up Field | Input |
URL | https://api.intellihr.io |
API Key |
Once you've logged into intelliHR, go to the Settings // Public API Access Keys section. Click 'Create Access Key'. Make sure to copy the API key once it's been created and store the key somewhere secure for future reference. |
Tenant | The first component of the URL that you use to access intelliHR. E.g. yourtenant in https://yourtenant.intellihr.net |
Method of interaction |
Realtime AND On Schedule: Staff will sync based on create / update / delete events in intelliHR and also once overnight. Importantly for the first sync: If On Schedule is also selected then when the integration is turned on for the first time, all active staff with current jobs in intelliHR will automatically flow into Ento overnight. Realtime: Staff will only sync to Ento when created, updated or deleted in realtime. Scheduled: Staff will only sync to Ento overnight (i.e. once every 24 hours). |
