What actions can I run in Sesame HR?

85 actions are available, including "Get a Compensation", "Get a Job Charge", and "Get an Employee", and more. Run them from any trigger in your automation stack — map fields once and they execute automatically.

Do I need to write code to automate this?

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 it is never required.

Is the integration secure?

Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
