How to Integrate Azure AD with Swif.ai to Sync Your Employee Directory

Start leveraging the power of Swif and Azure AD integration today to simplify your employee management and enhance your organization’s IT workflows!

Updated this week

Swif.ai is excited to announce its new integration with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)! This feature allows you to seamlessly sync your Azure AD users with Swif’s employee directory, ensuring a unified, accurate, and up-to-date record of your workforce. Similar to our integration with Deel, this Azure AD integration simplifies employee onboarding, offboarding, and directory management.

Benefits of Azure AD Integration

  • Real-Time Syncing: Keep your employee directory up-to-date automatically as changes are made in Azure AD.

  • Streamlined Onboarding: New Azure AD users are automatically added to Swif’s directory, ensuring fast provisioning of devices and access permissions.

  • Efficient Offboarding: When employees are removed from Azure AD, their access and devices are automatically flagged for deactivation in Swif.

  • Seamless Collaboration: A unified directory helps IT, HR, and compliance teams stay aligned and efficient.

Follow these steps to integrate Azure AD with Swif and start syncing your users:

1. Enable Azure AD Integration in Swif

  • Log in to your Swif Admin Console.

  • Navigate to Employees > Add Employees > Connect New HRIS > Connect to Azure AD.

  • Click to continue

2. Authorize Swif in Azure AD

  • Log in to your Azure account if asked.

Key Features of the Azure AD Integration

  • Secure Integration: The setup uses Azure AD’s secure API for data transfer.
