Paylocity Integration

Overview

MangoApps enables organizations to communicate, collaborate, and share information securely. Paylocity is a leading provider of cloud-based payroll and human resources solutions. By integrating MangoApps with Paylocity, network administrators can pull information and activity from Paylocity into MangoApps, providing a seamless experience for employees.

The integration between MangoApps and Paylocity allows administrators to synchronize users from a .csv file residing on a Secure FTP Server (SFTP Server) to manage (edit, add and delete) Employee user information in MangoApps. This eliminates the need for manual user management, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.

With the integration, employees can access payroll and HR-related information from within MangoApps, making it easier to stay up-to-date with company policies and procedures. This also provides a single sign-on experience, allowing employees to access both systems using a single set of credentials.

Primary Integration Use Case: Streamlining Employee Processes

Employee Data : MangoApps integration allows for the secure FTP transfer of employee data to build employee profiles. MangoApps utilizes the employee identifier, such as their email address or employee ID, to generate system greetings for events like work anniversaries, birthdays, and new hires. This integration also supports user provisioning, including activation and deactivation, as well as custom field mappings for automation. Customers of MangoApps can configure this integration to their specific needs.

Integration Workflow

1. Paylocity system to provide export of User information (in CSV format), this file to pushed to MangoApps sFTP site.

2. MangoApps picks up the encrypted file from the Mango Production File System.

3. MangoApps need to perform backend mappings for the Custom required fields.

4. The following fields are mapped in MangoApps:

   • Employee status: In MangoApps, only Active and Inactive statuses are available. Paylocity has other statuses, such as Terminated. MangoApps maps "A" as Active and any other status as Inactive.

   • Gender: MangoApps maps gender, such as "M" as Male and "F" as Female.

   • Marital status: MangoApps maps the abbreviated marital statuses to full names, such as "M" for Married, "S" for Single, "D" for Divorced, and "W" for Widow.

   • Any new fields are added automatically.

5. Once mapping is complete, User fetch can be initiated to pull the records from the csv file into MangoApps.

6. Successful import will add User to MangoApps user table.

By following this integration workflow, Paylocity and MangoApps can be integrated effectively, and the data can be periodically synchronized by setting up an automated recurrence.

6. Click the Save Settings button to save the configurations and test the SFTP Server connection. The system displays a success message on verifying all the configurations and successfully connecting to the server.

7. Click the Save Settings & Force Sync Now button to save the configurations and sync all users from the .csv file immediately. The system displays a success message on syncing the users successfully via the .csv file.

Click the Download sample CSV link to download the sample file for syncing users. You must NOT change/edit the field names in the first row since it can result in mapping issues for the data.

After a successful sync, the system sends an email to the network admin who initiated the sync.

Users imported and invited via Admin Portal > Users > Add Users > Fetch From URL are automatically assigned the "Network User" role irrespective of their email address. For example, if the network (of help-docs.com) invites a user with the email address [e-mail] or [e-mail], then these users are added as network users even if their email address does not match the company domain (for example [e-mail]).
