Xoxoday Empuls natively integrates with SAP SuccessFactors HCM Cloud, enabling automatic synchronisation of employee records and lifecycle-driven automation for recognition, rewards, and engagement programs.
Xoxoday Empuls integrates directly with SAP SuccessFactors HCM Cloud, letting HR teams run employee recognition and engagement programs without maintaining a separate employee directory. Once connected, Xoxoday Empuls pulls authoritative employee records from SuccessFactors and keeps them in sync — no manual imports, no CSV uploads, no reconciliation work for your HR operations team.

​
What gets synchronised

The integration maps core employee attributes from SAP SuccessFactors into Xoxoday Empuls: name, department, business unit, location, reporting manager, designation, and employment status. Xoxoday Empuls uses this data to personalise recognition feeds, enforce approval hierarchies, and ensure that every peer-to-peer award, manager shout-out, or milestone notification reaches the right person in the right team.

​
Lifecycle automation out of the box

Where the integration delivers real operational value is in employee lifecycle event automation. When a new hire is provisioned in SAP SuccessFactors, Xoxoday Empuls automatically creates their profile, adds them to the relevant team or business unit, and can trigger a welcome message or onboarding recognition nudge — without any manual action from HR. The same logic applies to promotions, role changes, and exits. A promotion reflected in SuccessFactors can trigger a congratulatory highlight on the Empuls social wall, while a departure immediately deactivates the employee’s account and prevents unintended reward issuance. This closes the gap between an HR event and its effect on the recognition program.

​
A practical example

Consider an organisation running SAP SuccessFactors as its system of record across multiple geographies. When an employee is promoted to a senior role, SuccessFactors records the change and Xoxoday Empuls picks it up during the next sync cycle. The updated designation appears on their profile, their manager receives a prompt to recognise the milestone, and the revised reporting hierarchy is reflected in reward approval workflows — all automatically, with no intervention from HR.

​
Security and data handling

Xoxoday Empuls is certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II standards. Data exchanged with SAP SuccessFactors is transmitted over encrypted channels and is not retained beyond what is required to power the engagement platform. Personally identifiable information is never exposed to peers outside the scope defined by your organisation’s configuration.

​
Setup and administration

Enabling the SAP SuccessFactors integration does not require custom middleware or third-party ETL tooling. Xoxoday Empuls provides a guided configuration flow within the admin console where administrators authorise the connection using SuccessFactors API credentials and set sync frequency — typically daily or near-real-time depending on your plan tier.
