Once connection is established, please review instructions here to get started with setting up an Assets import configuration. You can then access OnLink app from the “Manage your apps” menu to further configure and set the field level mapping. Here’s an example mapping configuration:
key:workerID.idValue=Worker IDmap:person.communication.emails.0.emailUri=Emailmap:person.legalName.givenName=First Namemap:person.legalName.familyName1=Last Namemap:workerDates.originalHireDate=Hire Date
Here’s a breakdown of some of the mapping configuration items:
Key or Map | Description |
|---|---|
| The keyword “key” refers to using Worker ID as a unique identifier. This allows OnLink to update the record. |
| Maps email to User which can be an attribute of type User |
| Set filter to limit workers returned |
Any other field returned by the API can be used in the mapping. See this link for a full list of available API fields: Get Workers API
OnLink processes data in two steps - Get Data and Import Data. To manually test, you can click on Get Data first and then wait until you see “No more pending records. Data will be imported on next Import run.” message in Job Logs. Then, click on Import. Production runs are fully automated based on the schedule you choose.
