HRIS Workflow Blocks

HRIS workflow blocks let you connect your agent workflows directly to your HR platform using purpose-built, provider-specific blocks. Instead of relying on generic HTTP calls or custom scripts, each supported provider has its own dedicated set of blocks that map cleanly to that platform's data model and API conventions. This gives you precise control over employee data operations at every stage of the employee lifecycle.

The following providers are currently supported:

• HiBob
• Workday
• SAP SuccessFactors
• Shapes HR

---

HiBob

Use HiBob blocks to read and manage employee records and organizational structure within your Bob environment.

Block	Description
hibob_get_employee	Look up a single employee by ID or identifier
hibob_list_employees	Retrieve a list of employees, optionally filtered
hibob_create_employee	Create a new employee record in HiBob
hibob_update_employee	Update fields on an existing employee record
hibob_list_departments	Retrieve the list of departments defined in HiBob

Common uses

• Automatically create a HiBob record when a new hire completes onboarding intake
• Sync department changes triggered by a manager approval workflow
• Look up an employee's profile to pre-fill downstream steps such as IT provisioning or payroll enrollment

---

Workday

Use Workday blocks to query and manage worker data stored in your Workday tenant.

Block	Description
workday_get_employee	Look up a single worker by employee ID or reference
workday_list_employees	Retrieve a list of workers, with optional filter parameters

Common uses

• Pull worker details at the start of an offboarding workflow to populate deprovisioning tasks
• List employees in a given organization unit to trigger bulk lifecycle actions

---

SAP SuccessFactors

Use SAP SuccessFactors blocks to interact with employee central records in your SuccessFactors instance.

Block	Description
successfactors_get_employee	Look up a single employee by person ID or user ID
successfactors_list_employees	Retrieve a list of employees from Employee Central
successfactors_create_employee	Create a new employee record in SuccessFactors
successfactors_update_employee	Update an existing employee record

Common uses

• Trigger a SuccessFactors record creation step as part of a coordinated new hire workflow
• Read employee data to drive conditional logic, such as routing based on employment type or location

---

Shapes HR

Use Shapes HR blocks to manage people records within your Shapes HR workspace.

Block	Description
shapeshr_get_employee	Look up a single employee record
shapeshr_list_employees	List employees across your Shapes HR organization
shapeshr_create_employee	Create a new employee in Shapes HR
shapeshr_update_employee	Update fields on an existing Shapes HR employee record

Common uses

• Keep Shapes HR records in sync when employee data changes in a connected system
• Create new employee entries as a final step in an automated onboarding flow

Connecting your HRIS provider

Before you can use any HRIS block, you need to authenticate your agent workflow with the relevant provider. Each provider uses its own connection configuration:

1. Open your workflow in the agent editor and add an HRIS block from the block picker.
2. Select the target provider from the block's provider dropdown.
3. Click Connect account and follow the prompts to supply your API credentials or OAuth token for that provider.
4. Once connected, the credential is saved to your workspace and can be reused across other workflows and blocks for the same provider.

Each provider connection is scoped to your workspace, so you only need to authenticate once per provider regardless of how many workflows use those blocks.

Passing data between HRIS blocks and other steps

HRIS blocks expose their output as structured data that subsequent steps can reference directly. For example, the employee object returned by hibob_get_employee can be passed into a notification block, a conditional branch, or a third-party integration step using the standard variable picker in the workflow editor.

Use list blocks (hibob_list_employees, workday_list_employees, and equivalents) to feed a loop step when you need to perform an action for each employee in a result set.
