Our Moss platform offers an integration with all the main HR softwares. Connecting your HR software with Moss gives you multiple benefits that make your life easier and reduce your workload.

Specific HR software guides:

  • Personio: Get specific instruction here.

  • AFAS: Read this article by "Kombo" for additional information on how to integrate with AFAS.

What the HRIS integration can do

Our Moss HRIS integration allows you to sync your employee directory with a variety of HRIS providers such as Personio, Workday, and SAP.

This will save hours that you would usually spend on manually onboarding and offboarding employees and user management.

  • Streamline Onboarding: When you add a new employee to your HR software, Moss steps in automatically and sends the system administrators a notification, sparing you the hassle of having to keep track of who has or should have access to Moss.

  • Effortless Departures: When an employee departs from your company and is deactivated in your HR software, Moss takes care of automatically deactivating their account on their last day, making offboarding a breeze.

  • Seamless Reimbursements: To ensure swift and hassle-free reimbursements for your business expenses. Moss effortlessly extracts the necessary details from your HR software, streamlining the reimbursement process for your employees.

  • Simple setup of users and teams: No need to set up your team and department structure manually in Moss. We fetch all data from your HR software on the user’s manager, team and department allocation. When you invite an employee, they will automatically be assigned to the correct team and department - both saving you time and ensuring each employee is part of the correct approval workflows.

  • Stay Agile: When the designated approver is unavailable or out of office, Moss keeps you in the loop by sending a proactive message, giving you the option to swiftly designate an alternative approver, ensuring tasks keep moving smoothly.

How to connect Moss with your HR software

Follow these steps to successfully connect Moss to your HR software

  1. Go to Users & Teams and navigate to the “HR Software” tab, click Connect HR software

  2. Choose your HR software in the dropdown of available tools to connect.

  3. Grant Moss access to fetch relevant information on users from your HR software account.

  4. Generate API credentials from within your HR software. This is done differently depending on the software you use. If you have problems finding how to, the person managing your HR software should know!

  5. Copy your API credentials and go back to Moss, paste them in and click “Set up integration”

  6. Voilà! You’ve successfully connected Moss with your HR software account. You can now proceed with mapping your teams in your HRIS with Moss, inviting new employees to Moss or linking manually invited employees to Moss with your HRIS to make sure the data is always synced for all your Moss users.

How to map teams in your HRIS with teams in Moss

When you have connected the HR software to Moss, you are able to map teams from your software to teams in Moss. This helps you further to set up appropriate approval policies as well as streamline accounting automation. You can either decide to have a 1-to-1 mapping of teams in your HR software and Moss, or decide to map multiple teams in your HR software to the same team in Moss.

If you already have created teams in Moss, you can simply select the one you wish to map your HR software team to. If you have not set up teams in Moss yet, you can easily create new teams based on the teams you have in your HR software, all in the same flow.

How to link existing employees in Moss with your HRIS

If you have already invited users to Moss manually, before connecting Moss to your HR software, we highly recommend you to link and sync these employees with your own software. This ensures that you leverage all benefits listed above in automated offboarding, fetching of relevant data and minimising risk of data discrepancies between your tools.

  1. Open up and login to the Moss platform

  2. Go to “Users & Teams” and open the “HR software” tab

  3. Click “manage” users

  4. This will take you to the “Link employees” flow.

  5. Here, you see a list of all employees that are users in Moss, that we also found a match for in your HR software based on their email address.

  6. You will see an overview of what employee data we were able to sync from your HR software

  7. When done, just click “Save” and all your Moss users will be linked with your own HR software.

How to invite new users to Moss via your HR software

Whenever you onboard new employees to your HR software, and have connected Moss with it, we will detect that and help you invite these new employees to Moss in a breeze!

Note that we are not automatically inviting your newly onboarded employees to Moss, so even when you have connected your HRIS with Moss - you are in control of who of your employees should have access to Moss.

  1. Login to the Moss platform

  2. Go to “Users & Teams”. On the “Users” tab, you will see an “Invite users” button that you click.

  3. You’ll be presented with different options of inviting users, and should select “Invite users via HR”

  4. That will take you to the flow, looking like the screenshot above. In this list, you see all employees that are in your HR system, and not invited to Moss yet.

  5. To easily find which employees you want to invite, you can filter by team or cost center.

  6. In the list, you will also see which team in Moss the user will be assigned to, based on the team mapping you’ve done previously. If an employee is assigned to a team in your HR software that you haven’t mapped to a team in Moss, we will flag that to you.

  7. Once you’ve selected the employees you want to invite, just click “Save” and we will trigger an invitation to all those users. Like a breeze!
