After connecting your HRIS to 15Five, complete this configuration to control which employees and groups sync. At the end, you run the first data sync.
Before You Begin
- Your HRIS must be connected and the initial data pull must be complete. The initial pull takes 10–15 minutes for most companies and up to a few hours for large organizations.
- You must have account admin access to integration settings.
Steps
- Click the Settings gear in the bottom-left corner of your 15Five account.
- Select Integrations from the dropdown menu.
- Select your active HRIS from the integrations list.
- Click Add filter row to add an inclusion or exclusion filter.
- Set your first filter to Include employees by employment type (for example, Full-Time).
- Add Exclude filters to remove specific emails, locations, or divisions if needed.
> Inactive employees are automatically excluded. You do not need to add a filter for them.
- Scroll to the Confirm your company settings section at the bottom of the page.
- Review the Immediately send invite emails to imported people setting. Click the link next to it to change it.
- Review the Demographic attributes setting. Click the link next to it to enable or disable it.
- Click Validate & Review to preview employee data before syncing.
- Review the employee preview. Check the Created and Unsynced sections for duplicate records or missing Employee IDs.
- Click Back to adjust filters, or click Preview Group Type Data to continue.
- On the Review Group Types page, set each group type to one of: Matched, Created, Excluded, or Untouched.
- Click Confirm Group Type Data.
- On the group mapping page, set each group to Matched, Created, or Excluded.
- Click Confirm group data.
- Click Run data sync.
- When the sync completes, click the History tab to review imported data.
> The sync runs automatically every 24 hours after this initial setup. Follow these same steps to run a manual sync at any time.
If Something Goes Wrong
| Issue | Check | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Duplicate users appear in Created or Unsynced | Employee IDs are missing or emails don't match between systems | Add or correct Employee IDs in 15Five, then re-run the sync |
| Valid employees appear in Unsynced | Active filters are excluding them | Review inclusion/exclusion filters and adjust criteria |
| A group type is missing from the Review Group Types page | The group type is not mapped by default for your HRIS | Contact 15Five Support to confirm default group type behavior for your HRIS |
| Sync does not complete | Initial data pull may still be in progress | Wait 15 minutes (or a few hours for large organizations), then return to the configuration page |
