How to integrate Papershift in automation workflow?

3 simple steps to make your Papershift connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.

STEP 1

Select Papershift in workflow

Pick Papershift app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.

STEP 2

Connect Papershift

When prompted, authorize access to Papershift in WEXTL once. Papershift credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].

WEXTL wants to integrate with your Papershift account. Approve?

STEP 3

Build a workflow

Build your workflow with Papershift yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Papershift to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How Papershift connects and integrates with WEXTL

Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Papershift 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 Papershift supports.

Full Papershift API documentation

The following table illustrates what fields Papershift integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Video slide demonstrates how Papershift is connected in WEXTL builder [4].

Field	Type	Help
API TokenRequired	text	Log in to your account → click the wrench → Standorte (Places) → API section → + to create API key.

Connect Papershift to popular apps on WEXTL

Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Papershift below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Papershift. 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 Papershift integration

Select Watch Users trigger from Papershift - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Papershift, workflow will start [7] from Watch Users node.

Search for Activate a User, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Users and Activate a User, so only important data pass from Watch Users to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Papershift automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].

Papershift on WEXTL has 68 modules for combining hr automations. Explore Papershift documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about automating Papershift in your workflows.

Papershift has 13 triggers, including "Watch Absences", "Watch Availabilities", and "Watch Evaluations", and more. Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.

Integration has 55 actions, including "Get a Location", "Get a Shift", and "Get a Tag", and more. Refer to our Papershift 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 Papershift integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Papershift official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.

Absolutely. Where Papershift 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 Papershift 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 Papershift 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 Papershift modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
