How to integrate Sesame HR in automation workflow?

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

STEP 1

Select Sesame HR in workflow

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

STEP 2

Connect Sesame HR

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

WEXTL wants to integrate with your Sesame HR account. Approve?

STEP 3

Build a workflow

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

How Sesame HR connects and integrates with WEXTL

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

Full Sesame HR API documentation

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

Demonstration of Sesame HR connection step inside WEXTL Workflow Builder [4].

Field	Type	Help
RegionRequired	text	find your assigned region in https://app.sesametime.com/admin/configuration/integrations/api-tokens
API KeyRequired	password	Log in to app.sesametime.com and navigate to Settings > Integrations > API and generate or copy your API key

Connect Sesame HR to popular apps on WEXTL

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

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

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

Sesame HR on WEXTL has 100 modules for combining hr automations. Explore Sesame HR documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about automating Sesame HR in your workflows.

Sesame HR has 15 triggers, including "Watch Absence Calendar", "Watch Absence Day Off Requests", and "Watch Comments", and more. Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.

Integration has 85 actions, including "Get a Compensation", "Get a Job Charge", and "Get a Request", and more. Refer to our Sesame HR 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 Sesame HR integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Sesame HR official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.

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