Xoxoday Empuls automatically synchronises employee data—including department assignments, reporting structure, official email addresses, and active or inactive employment status—from connected HRMS platforms such as SAP SuccessFactors, with no manual intervention required after setup.
When your organisation updates an employee’s department, manager, or email address in the HRMS, Xoxoday Empuls reflects those changes without requiring a manual export, CSV upload, or support ticket. The integration removes the operational gap that typically exists between HR systems and engagement platforms, so your people data is always current.

​
What syncs automatically

Xoxoday Empuls synchronises a comprehensive set of employee attributes from your connected HRMS. This includes official email addresses, department assignments, reporting structure (manager-to-employee relationships), and employment status. When an employee is marked inactive in SAP SuccessFactors—due to resignation, termination, or leave—Xoxoday Empuls updates their status accordingly, removing them from active recognition workflows and preventing unintended reward transactions.

​
How the sync works

Once the SAP SuccessFactors integration is configured in Xoxoday Empuls, the connection runs on a scheduled synchronisation cadence. Any recorded change—a promotion that moves an employee to a new cost centre, a lateral transfer that updates their reporting line, or a legal name change that requires a new email alias—flows through to Xoxoday Empuls automatically. HR and IT teams do not need to replicate those updates in the engagement platform.

​
Why accurate data matters for engagement

Employee engagement programmes depend on correct organisational context. A recognition award routed to the wrong manager, or a work-anniversary milestone triggered for someone who left months ago, erodes confidence in the programme. Xoxoday Empuls uses synced HRMS data to personalise milestones, enforce manager-approval workflows, generate accurate org charts, and surface meaningful reporting. When the underlying data is accurate, every automated touchpoint reaches the right person at the right time.

​
A practical example

Consider an organisation using SAP SuccessFactors across a distributed workforce. When a restructuring moves a group of employees from one business unit to another, the change is recorded once in SuccessFactors. Xoxoday Empuls automatically updates each employee’s department, reassigns their reporting manager, and adjusts eligibility for department-specific reward budgets—all without a single manual update on the engagement side. The same principle applies for organisations using other supported HRMS platforms such as Workday or Darwinbox. This bidirectional accuracy means engagement data stays consistent with HR records, which is especially important for compliance-focused organisations operating under frameworks such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II, where data integrity across systems is a formal requirement.
