HR system connectors

Your HR system is the authoritative record of who works for your organization. Connecting it gives Mesh a trusted anchor for identity correlation: worker records confirm who a person is, where they sit in the organization, and whether they're still employed.

Why connect an HR system​

  • Anchor correlation. HR records give Mesh a reliable, person-level source to correlate accounts against, improving correlation quality and reducing profiling gaps. See Identities.
  • Catch joiners, movers, and leavers. Employment status from HR lets Mesh spot accounts that outlive the people they belong to — a leaver whose accounts are still active, or a mover who kept access their new role doesn't need. Stale and orphaned accounts are among the risk signals Mesh flags. See Risk scoring.
  • Attribute ownership. Knowing who owns what — and which department or location they belong to — lets Mesh group risk by entity and route delegated remediation to the right person.

How HR connectivity works​

Mesh connects to your HR system through a single unified HRIS connector. You authorize Mesh to your HR provider once, and Mesh ingests the identity signals it needs — employee identifiers, employment status, hire and termination timing, manager and department context, employment type, and work location — normalized into a consistent shape regardless of which HR platform you use. This means new HR systems can be added without a separate one-off connector for each.

Supported HR systems​

Full-fidelity sources. These have provider-specific employment-status mapping, so joiner/mover/leaver signals are captured with the highest accuracy:

  • Workday
  • TriNet

Additional HR platforms connect through the same unified connector. Where a provider doesn't have provider-specific status mapping yet, employment status is ingested as UNKNOWN until a mapping is added, while all other identity fields sync normally.

Coverage expands over time. To confirm support for your HR system, contact Axiad Customer Success.

For the full list of systems Mesh connects to, see the integration catalog.

Set it up​

  • Connect your HR system — add the unified HRIS connector from System configurations or the AI assistant, and authorize your provider.
  • Workday setup — the Workday-side configuration to complete first, if Workday is your HR system.
  • Employment status — how employment states from different HR platforms map onto one consistent set of statuses.
  • Troubleshooting — pending connections, reconnecting with Relink, and empty collections.
