HRIS & HR software integrations, built for the way you actually work
Connect Rewordin to 20+ HRIS, payroll, performance, and collaboration tools in minutes. Native OAuth 2.0, SOC 2 Type II, and a professional engineering team that delivers custom integrations on request.
Most recognition programs die because of data entry
HR teams spend 20+ hours every month manually transferring employee data between spreadsheets, the HRIS, and recognition tools. The result: errors, missed milestones, low participation, and a program that never reaches scale.
Manual data entry
Copying new hires, departures, and tenure updates from your HRIS to Rewordin every week. One wrong cell and a reward goes to the wrong person — or doesn't go at all.
Missed milestones
Managers forget work anniversaries and birthdays. The result: a 5-year-tenured employee who's never been recognized. Turnover risk goes up by ~2x.
Cost center chaos
Finance has no clean line-item for reward spend by department or country. Month-end close takes longer, and nobody trusts the program budget.
A recognition program that requires manual work doesn't scale. We've seen this pattern across hundreds of deployments: the program launches with energy, but by month three the HR team is buried in spreadsheet maintenance and participation drops below 10%. Integration is what breaks this cycle.
When your HRIS, performance tool, and Rewordin are connected, the data flows automatically. New hires get a welcome gift without anyone remembering to send one. Anniversaries trigger rewards on the actual date, not the date someone noticed. Cost-center reporting is one click. And the HR team gets their 20+ hours back every month to focus on the strategic work that actually moves retention.
Three steps. Five minutes. No IT ticket.
You don't need a developer or a security review to get going. Our OAuth-based flow is designed for HR teams to self-serve.
Authorize the connection
Click "Connect" on your HRIS in the Rewordin dashboard. You'll be redirected to your HRIS login page, grant Rewordin read-only access, and return. The whole flow takes under 60 seconds.
Map your data fields
Tell Rewordin which fields to sync: employee ID, name, email, department, manager, start date, country. We auto-detect the mapping for most HRIS — you just confirm. Custom field mapping is supported for Pro plans.
Set your automation rules
Pick which events should trigger rewards and what to send. Most customers start with work anniversaries and birthdays. You can add new rules anytime without re-authenticating.
20+ native integrations across the HR stack
These are the platforms we connect to out-of-the-box. If you use something else, our engineering team can usually build a custom connector in under two weeks — see the section below.

HRIS integration methods compared: OAuth, SCIM, webhooks and file sync
“Integrates with your HRIS” can mean five different things. Here is exactly which mechanism Rewordin uses for which job, and the open standard behind each one, so your IT and security reviewers can check it against their own requirements.
SCIM vs an HRIS API integration: which one do you need?
They solve different problems, and most mid-size companies end up using both. SCIM 2.0 is an identity standard: it answers “who works here right now?” and keeps accounts created, updated and deactivated in step with your HRIS or identity provider. It deliberately models only a small set of attributes — name, email, active status, and an enterprise extension for employee number, department, manager and cost center. A native HRIS API connector reads the richer HR record that SCIM does not carry, above all the start date that every work-anniversary rule depends on.
A practical rule: if your identity provider (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace) is already the source of truth for accounts, let it provision Rewordin over SCIM and add the HRIS connector for milestone data. If the HRIS is the source of truth for everything, the native connector alone covers both jobs. Our step-by-step HRIS rewards integration guide walks through the setup for the most common systems, and the best HRIS systems of 2026 roundup compares the platforms themselves.
Which employee fields sync, and what Rewordin does with them
Rewordin asks for the minimum data a rewards program needs — no salary, no performance ratings unless you connect a review tool, no personal address beyond country. Each field maps to a standard SCIM attribute where one exists, so the same mapping works whether the data arrives over SCIM, a native connector or a CSV file.
employeeNumber (enterprise extension)name, displayNameemailsactivedepartment (enterprise extension)manager (enterprise extension)costCenter (enterprise extension)addresses.country, localeNot in the SCIM core schema; mapped as a custom attribute or read from the HRIS APIOnce the start date and country are flowing, the rules write themselves: anniversary rewards on the actual date (see our guide to milestone rewards for work anniversaries and birthdays), and a reward drawn from the localized reward catalog for the employee's own country. For one-off bulk sends driven by the same employee data — year-end gifts, a company-wide thank-you — the bulk gift card API takes the synced directory as its recipient list.
Our engineering team will build the integration for you
Most HR and SaaS tools expose either a REST API, webhooks, or both. If yours does — and almost all modern tools do — our in-house engineering team can deliver a custom integration in 5-10 business days, at no additional cost on Pro and Enterprise plans.
From "we use an obscure in-house HRIS" to "live in 8 days"
We've built custom integrations for legacy Oracle HCM deployments, in-house HRIS platforms, niche payroll systems, and proprietary reward APIs that even the vendors themselves don't document well. Our engineering team has shipped 60+ custom integrations in the last 18 months for customers who couldn't find what they needed on the shelf.
- REST + GraphQL + SOAP — we speak any HTTP-based API your vendor exposes, including legacy SOAP endpoints.
- Webhooks + polling fallback — real-time events where supported, reliable polling where not.
- SCIM 2.0 provisioning — for any HRIS that supports SCIM (most modern ones do).
- File-based sync (SFTP, S3, SFTP+CSV) — for vendors that only support nightly file drops.
- Custom field mapping — including transformations (e.g. department code → department name).
- Sandbox-first rollout — every integration goes through your staging environment first, then production.
- Source code in your repo — the connector lives in your private Git branch, auditable and modifiable.
What HR teams actually automate after connecting Rewordin
These are the four most common integration patterns we see across our customers. Each one runs without any manual work once it's set up.
Work-anniversary rewards on autopilot
When an employee crosses a tenure milestone in your HRIS, Rewordin automatically sends a personalized reward within minutes — no manager action required. Configurable by year (1, 3, 5, 10, 15+) and by department.
Recognition after every performance review
Connect 15Five, Lattice, or Culture Amp. When a manager closes a review cycle with a high rating, Rewordin auto-sends a reward to the employee — closed-loop recognition without extra work.
Onboarding welcome gifts
New hire added in BambooHR or Personio → Slack DM with welcome message and a curated reward of your choice. Replace your manual new-hire gifting process with zero-touch automation.
Department-level rollups for finance
For each reward sent, Rewordin tags the cost center from your ERP (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle). Finance gets a clean monthly export of total reward spend by department, country, and program.
Built for enterprise security review from day one
We know the security questionnaire is the longest part of any HR-tech procurement. Here's what we can answer before you even ask.
SOC 2 Type II
Audited annually by an independent third party. Full report available under NDA.
OAuth 2.0 + read-only by default
Rewordin never sees or stores your HRIS password. We request the minimum scope needed.
GDPR + DPA
EU data residency available. We sign a Data Processing Agreement with every customer.
Webhook signing
Outbound webhooks are HMAC-SHA256 signed. You verify the signature on receipt.
Encryption at rest + in transit
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. No exceptions.
SAML SSO + SCIM
Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, OneLogin, JumpCloud — all supported for SSO.

Frequently asked questions
The questions our sales team gets most often. If you have a question that's not here, our team replies within 4 business hours.
How long does an HRIS integration with Rewordin take?
Native integrations (Workday, BambooHR, SAP, ADP, Personio, HiBob, Gusto) go live in under 5 minutes via OAuth. Slack and Teams take about 2 minutes. Custom integrations via our REST API typically deliver in 5-10 business days.
What HRIS systems does Rewordin integrate with?
20+ native integrations across four categories: HRIS (Workday, BambooHR, SAP, ADP, Personio, HiBob, Gusto, UKG, Paychex, Paycor, Rippling, Zenefits), Collaboration (Slack, Teams, Google Workspace, Outlook, Zoom, Webex), Performance (15Five, Lattice, Culture Amp, Peakon, Glint, Officevibe), and Finance (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, SAP ERP, Oracle Fusion, Sage Intacct). If yours isn't on the list, our engineering team can build a custom integration.
Does Rewordin support SCIM for user provisioning?
Yes. SCIM 2.0 is fully supported. When an employee is added, removed, or has a role change in your HRIS, Rewordin reflects the change within 60 seconds. This eliminates the security risk of orphaned accounts and ensures only active employees can receive or send recognition.
Can Rewordin automatically trigger rewards on HRIS events?
Yes. Rewordin can listen to any field in your HRIS and trigger rewards automatically. The most common automations: work anniversaries (1, 3, 5, 10+ years), birthdays, completion of probation periods, promotions, new-hire milestones (30/60/90 days), and performance review completions.
Is employee data secure during integration?
Yes. All Rewordin integrations use OAuth 2.0 for secure delegated authentication — we never see or store your HRIS password. By default we request read-only access. SOC 2 Type II compliant, GDPR-compliant, and we sign a DPA with every customer. Employee data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256).
Can Rewordin integrate with custom or in-house HR systems?
Yes. Rewordin has a fully documented REST API and supports webhooks for real-time events. For in-house or legacy HR systems, our engineering team can build a custom integration at no additional cost on Pro and Enterprise plans — typically 5-10 business days.
How does Rewordin handle multi-country HRIS sync?
Rewordin is built for global teams. If you operate multiple regional HRIS instances (Workday for US, Personio for Germany, BambooHR for UK), Rewordin syncs from each in parallel and unifies the data into a single employee directory. Country-specific fields like cost center, legal entity, and local manager hierarchy are preserved.
What is the difference between SCIM and an HRIS integration?
SCIM 2.0 is an open identity standard (RFC 7643 and RFC 7644) for creating, updating and deactivating user accounts; it carries name, email, active status, employee number, department, manager and cost center, but not HR data such as start date. An HRIS integration reads the full HR record through the vendor's API. Rewordin supports both: use SCIM from your identity provider for account lifecycle and the HRIS connector for milestone data, or the HRIS connector alone if it is your single source of truth.
Does Rewordin integrate with Slack and Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Slack and Microsoft Teams are native integrations that take about 2 minutes to connect. Employees can give recognition where they already work, and rewards triggered by HRIS events — like a new hire in BambooHR or Personio — can be announced by Slack or Teams message. Our Slack and Teams recognition guide covers the setup in detail.
What happens in Rewordin when an employee leaves?
When an employee is deactivated in your HRIS or identity provider, the change reaches Rewordin within 60 seconds over SCIM, and the person can no longer send or receive recognition. Their reward history stays in the audit trail for finance and reporting, so departures never leave orphaned accounts or gaps in spend data.
How is Rewordin priced for integrations?
All native integrations are included in every Rewordin plan at no additional cost. Custom integrations are included in Pro and Enterprise plans. For Starter customers, custom integrations can be added for a one-time engineering fee depending on scope.
