Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Breathe HR and Xref.
Connect your Breathe HR and Xref accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when Breathe HR's "Watch Absence" fires, WEXTL can "Add an Unusual Activity Note" in Xref. Breathe HR has 8 triggers (including Watch Absence, Watch Benefits, and Watch Bonuses); Xref has 41 actions (including Add an Unusual Activity Note, Add an Unusual Activity Resolution, and Add Company Domains). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. Breathe HR-to-Xref automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment Breathe HR (or Xref) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your Breathe HR + Xref automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
