How to import employee directory from HRIS

Overview

Swif.ai can sync employee data from supported HRIS providers.

In the Swif Admin Console:

1) Go to Employee Manager → All Employees.

2) Click Connect HRIS.

3) Click Connect New HRIS.

4) Choose your provider:

- Okta

- Deel

- Others (for providers like Gusto, BambooHR, etc.): Select Others for HRIS providers that connect through Finch.

5) Follow the on-screen prompts to authenticate with your HRIS provider.

6) When the connection is complete, click Finish Setup to return to the HRIS connection page.

7) Choose your sync scope:

- Full import (sync all employees)

- Limited import (sync a subset)

Tip: Start with a limited import to validate the field mapping and employee list, then switch to full import when you’re ready.

Turn on automatic sync (optional)

After you import, you can keep Swif in sync with your HRIS integration automatically.

  1. On the Sync with HRIS page, find your HRIS connection.

  2. Turn on the toggle in the Automation column.

What automatic sync updates:

Import type

New hires imported automatically?

Changes to existing employees updated (e.g., address)?

Full import

✅ Yes

✅ Yes

Limited import (users)

❌ No

✅ Yes

Tip: If you want new Deel hires added to Swif automatically, use Full import with automatic sync turned on.
