⚙️ Setting Up HR Integration

Step 1: Connect Your Directory

In Integrations → HR → Manage HR Configuration Settings, connect Entra ID (Azure AD) as your directory provider.

You’ll see:

Field Example
Directory Provider Entra ID (Azure AD)
Directory State Active
Users Count 100+
Groups Count 1

Once connected, Linq displays Directory Activated with a green checkmark.


Step 2: Configure Membership Behavior

Automatically Approve New Members
Toggle ON if you want new employees added immediately.
Toggle OFF if you prefer manual approval under “Pending.”

  • New Member Page Template Assignment: Choose your organization’s page layout .

These settings determine where new users land and what their initial Linq page looks like.


Step 4: Choose Synced Attributes

You can control which HR fields are synced to Linq.

  • Accept: Adds the user and creates their Linq account.

  • Archive: Moves the user to the Archived tab (they can be restored later).

You’ll also see timestamps for each pending addition, e.g.
name@domain.com — Added Oct 21, 2025


Step 6: Allow Custom Contact Fields (Optional)

At the bottom of the HR settings page, you’ll see the toggle:

Allow users to add custom contact fields?
When ON, team members can add personal contact details that differ from the HR-synced data.

Turn this off to maintain strict HR-controlled consistency.


What’s Currently Supported

  • Active connection with Entra ID (Azure AD)

  • Auto-approve new users (or manual approval flow)

  • Team + Page Template assignments

  • Attribute sync for name, email, phone, title, location, photo

  • Manual “Force Sync HR Directory” refresh

  • Pending / Archived user management

  • Optional custom contact fields


Best Practices

  • Keep your directory clean and updated — each user must have a valid email.

  • Use Auto-Approval for faster onboarding or Pending Approval for manual control.

  • Run Force Sync after significant changes in your HR system.

  • Assign a default team and page template for consistent branding.

  • Use Archived tab to temporarily disable users instead of deleting.


Your HR integration is active once you see:
“Directory Activated” with a green checkmark and your organization’s user count displayed.

Troubleshooting

Ensure all attributes are mapped similarly.

WorkOS should have more instructions when originally set up.
