This guide will show you how to map custom properties from your HRIS and import them as fields through the integration.

Integrations help ensure that employee data stays up to date in Thrive by syncing information directly from your HRIS, including any additional custom fields your organization uses.

Access the Integration:

Begin by navigating to the Integrations section in your account and opening the HRIS integration you want to configure.

  1. Go to Account → Integrations.
  2. Select your HRIS integration.
  3. Once connected, you will see the option to map additional fields.
  4. Once connected, you will see options to configure field mappings and employee import.

You can now create mappings between fields from your HRIS and the corresponding properties.

This is useful when you want to track or segment employees based on specific fields such as department codes, locations, roles, or any custom attributes defined in your HRIS.

Click Map Fields to start creating custom mappings.
