Compatible with many HR systems that can export scheduled files.
Lower technical overhead than building and maintaining a custom API integration.
Provides a reliable and secure transfer method for user data.

Custom API sync
A flexible route for customers with technical resource. Your IT team builds and maintains a custom connection into the Talos Perform API to manage user provisioning directly.

Manual bulk imports

Benefits
No technical integration work required.
Quick to get started.
Suitable for smaller organisations or those with infrequent employee changes.
Gives administrators full control over when updates are applied.
Requirements
Your HR admins need capacity to manage user updates manually.
