Create Employee

​

Overview

The Create Employee feature enables you to create new employee records in a connected HRIS with a structured, simplified approach. Instead of manually building separate integrations for each HRIS system, this feature dynamically generates forms based on the specific requirements of the connected system.

​

Key Benefits

• Unified Integration: Use a single API to create employees across any supported HRIS
• Dynamic Form Generation: Automatically retrieve the required fields for each HRIS
• Smart Field Mapping: Map your existing data to HRIS fields using unified keys
• Validation Built-in: Form schema includes validation rules to ensure data accuracy
• Intuitive UI Support: Guidelines for building user-friendly interfaces

​

How It Works

1. Fetch Form Schema: Retrieve a dynamic schema from the connected HRIS that defines all required and optional fields
2. Auto-map Fields: Use unified keys to automatically map standard fields (name, email, etc.) from your data
3. Collect Missing Data: Generate UI components to collect any additional required information
4. Submit Data: Send the validated data to create the new employee record

​

Implementation

This feature is implemented through two primary endpoints:

The form schema includes detailed information about each field:

• Field type (text, number, date, select, etc.)
• Validation rules (required, min/max values)
• Unified keys for standard fields
• Description and labels

​

Getting Started

To implement this feature in your application:

1. Set up a connection to an HRIS via Kombo Connect
2. Fetch the form schema for the connected HRIS
3. Build a UI that displays the required fields and collects user input
4. Submit the populated form data to create the employee
