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

How HRnest connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever HRnest 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 HRnest supports.
The following table illustrates what fields HRnest integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].
Video slide demonstrates how HRnest is connected in WEXTL builder [4].
| Field | Type | Help |
|---|---|---|
API UsernameRequired | text | Enter your API username. You can obtain credentials in API Settings. |
API PasswordRequired | password | Enter your API password. |
Connect HRnest to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with HRnest below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with HRnest. 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 HRnest integration
Select Watch Employee Requests trigger from HRnest - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in HRnest, workflow will start [7] from Watch Employee Requests node.
Search for Create an Employee, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Employee Requests and Create an Employee, so only important data pass from Watch Employee Requests to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of HRnest automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
HRnest on WEXTL has 20 modules for combining hr automations. Explore HRnest documentation for more.
Video slide demonstrates how Watch Employee Requests and Create an Employee [6] nodes are used in HRnest workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating HRnest in your workflows.
HRnest has 4 triggers, including "Watch Employee Absences", "Watch Employee Requests", and "Watch Employee WorkTime", and more. Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.
Integration has 16 actions, including "Get an Employee", "Get Calendar Data", and "Get Employee Workhours", and more. Refer to our HRnest 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 HRnest integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by HRnest official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where HRnest 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 HRnest 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 HRnest 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 HRnest modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
