How to sync employee information

Now that your Hibob integration has been added, you can set up your accounts to sync employee information from Hibob to Remote. To do this:

1. In the Hibob People tab, go to Directory. Select the employee you want to sync with Remote.
2. On the employee's profile, scroll down to the Work section and click on the edit button on the top right corner of the section.
3. In the Sync to Remote field, select either As employee or As contractor, then click Done.
4. Repeat this step for all the employees you would like to sync to Remote.

Now, you can manually sync those profiles from Hibob to Remote. Click the Manual sync button within Remote to manually force updates to sync in Remote. That’s it! You successfully added the Hibob integration and synced Hibob profiles.

Please note that once set up, the integration automatically syncs all selected employees’ data regularly. If your changes have not synced in Remote after having completed the integration setup, you can use the manual sync button in Remote or wait a few minutes and then try reloading the screen.
