Steps

  1. Authenticate to Merge using your API key and obtain a linked-account token for each connected HRIS integration
  2. GET /hris/v1/employees with cursor-based pagination to pull the full employee roster and map fields to your canonical schema
  3. POST /hris/v1/employees to write new hires back to the source HRIS via Merge passthrough or native write endpoints where supported
  4. Subscribe to Merge webhooks for Employee.created, Employee.updated, and Employee.deleted events to keep your system current
  5. Handle async webhook delivery delays and idempotency by storing Merge remote_id and comparing modified_at timestamps before applying updates
