Kallidus setup

Kallidus — formerly Sapling — connects through the unified HRIS connector. This page covers the Kallidus-side configuration you complete first. Once it's done, add the connector in Mesh by following Connect your HR system.

You finish with two values:

ValueWhere it comes from
SubdomainThe first label of your Kallidus URL
API keyIntegrations → API Keys
Third-party product

These steps reflect Axiad's current understanding of Kallidus' configuration. Because Kallidus is a third-party product, there may be variations between your experience and what this guide describes, depending on the version in use and recent updates.

If you find a significant difference, or anything that doesn't make sense, let us know through Axiad support.

Step 1 — Find your subdomain​

Enter only the first label of your URL, not the whole host. For company-name.saplingapp.io, the subdomain is company-name.

Step 2 — Create an API key​

  1. In Kallidus, open Integrations.

    The Kallidus integrations section

  2. Open API Keys and select Create New Key.

  3. Name the key, copy it, and save.

Step 3 — Connect in Mesh​

Follow Connect your HR system, choose Kallidus in the connection window, and supply the subdomain and API key.

After connecting​

The connector appears in your connectors list with Health: Initializing while the first collection runs, then moves to Good. Access is read-only: Mesh does not write back to Kallidus.

If it doesn't come online, see Troubleshoot HR connectors.
