Airwallex & HRIS

What does Airwallex’s HRIS integration offer?

Airwallex integrates with your HRIS system to streamline user onboarding and management. With this integration, you can:

  1. Automatically import user data from your HRIS and invite users to your Airwallex Organisation
  2. Review and manage users details including department, location, role, and manager relationships
  3. Configure workflows based on imported user data

Airwallex will refresh your user data daily, identifying new users to invite, updating user details and removing offboarded users.

How do I set up HRIS integration on Airwallex

Please note that you must have an Owner or Admin role in Airwallex and admin permissions in your HRIS system to complete the setup.

  • Log in to Airwallex
  • Navigate to “Settings” in the left-hand navigation bar and click on “Connections”
  • Select the “HRIS” tab
  • Choose your HRIS provider
  • Click “Connect” on the homepage


 

  • To complete the connection, you can either use your admin credentials to the HRIS provider (recommended) or an API key or access token

 

  • Review the user data to sync. By default, we will import users’ name, email, company (if available in HRIS), manager, department and location for user profile creation in Airwallex. Subsequently, we will also sync over any changes to users’ name, company. You can also choose to sync any changes to users’ Manager, Department and Location by checking the sync field.


 

  • Map your HRIS company to the Airwallex entity. Map your respective companies in HRIS to Airwallex entities to to automatically assign users to the appropriate Airwallex employment entity. Note that some HRIS providers do not include company information. In these cases, you will need to manually assign an Airwallex entity to each user during the invitation flow.
  • Deactivated user settings: You can optionally enable automatic removal of offboarded users from Airwallex based on their HRIS status. These users will lose access to Airwallex and any issued cards will be cancelled. This happens during the daily sync when we sync over any user details changes.

  2. In the top-left card, you'll see your connected HRIS status and last sync time
  3. The central card will show how many users are “Ready to invite” (i.e., present in HRIS but not yet invited to Airwallex)
  4. Click “Ready to invite” to review the users. By default, all users will be selected. Click on “Invite X users” to proceed. Note that all users will be given the “Employee” role by default.[Screenshot 11]
