How to integrate Fourth in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Fourth connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Fourth
When prompted, authorize access to Fourth in WEXTL once. Fourth credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Fourth account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Fourth yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Fourth to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How Fourth connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Fourth app is called in workflows. That allows your hr automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Fourth supports.
The following table illustrates what fields Fourth integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].
Video slide demonstrates how Fourth is connected in WEXTL builder [4].
| Field | Type | Help |
|---|---|---|
URLRequired | text | Your Fourth.com URL. For example: |
UsernameRequired | text | — |
PasswordRequired | password | — |
External Customer Canonical IDRequired | text | The external customer canonical ID specific to the customer. |
Connect Fourth to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Fourth below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Fourth. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with Fourth integration
Select Watch Absences trigger from Fourth - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Fourth, workflow will start [7] from Watch Absences node.
Search for Add or Update a Paid Absence, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Absences and Add or Update a Paid Absence, so only important data pass from Watch Absences to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Fourth automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Fourth on WEXTL has 34 modules for combining hr automations. Explore Fourth documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Fourth in your workflows.
Fourth has 2 triggers, including "Watch Absences" and "Watch Job Titles". Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.
Integration has 32 actions, including "Get Absences", "Get Employees (Limited)", and "Get Full Employee Records", and more. Refer to our Fourth Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The Fourth integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Fourth official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where Fourth provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever Fourth or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for Fourth inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with Fourth modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
