Setting up the employees endpoint in Sympa

Integrating with Sympa requires configuring an API endpoint from Sympa for Teamspective to access.

The specification for the endpoint follows Sympa's Generic API specification. See the full reference for the API here https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/33639379/2sA3kXG1vX#c4df2b98-3d24-4529-a7d0-780b33271a01.

For the purposes of the Teamspective integration it is enough to implement the Person endpoint.

  • Authentication: Basic auth

  • Endpoint URL: /api/GenericPerson

  • Response format: JSON

Data example:

```

{

  "@odata.context": "https://api.sympahr.net/api/$metadata#GenericPerson",

  "value": [

    {

      "Given_first_names": "Aaron Topi Reijo",

      "Preferred_given_name": "Aaron",

      "Surname": "Ruotsalainen",

      "E-mail_address_work": "aaron.ruotsalainen@sympademo.com",

      "Employee_number": "35830",

      "Manager": "35825",

      "Date_of_birth": "1974-02-14",

      "Original_hire_date": "2018-12-03",

      "Test_user": false,

      "created": "2024-05-03T10:21:03Z",

      "modified": "2024-05-03T11:31:31Z",

      "active": true

    }

  ]

}

```

Adding additional fields

You may include additional data fields in the response. These additional fields can be used in Teamspective for result aggregation (requires configuration).

The minimum required fields for Teamspective user provisioning are the:

  • name fields,

  • work email address and

  • employee number.


Adding filters

You can additionally configure filters for the people data sent through the integration. Note that filtering can also be configured at Teamspective's end.

See the full reference for the API here: https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/33639379/2sA3kXG1vX#c4df2b98-3d24-4529-a7d0-780b33271a01


Setting up the connection in Teamspective

When the endpoint is configured you can enter the credentials for access in Teamspective.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Workspace settings > HRIS

  2. Select Sympa

  3. You're prompted to enter the credentials to finish setting up the integration.
