How to integrate ZenHR in automation workflow?

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

STEP 1

Select ZenHR in workflow

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

STEP 2

Connect ZenHR

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

WEXTL wants to integrate with your ZenHR account. Approve?

STEP 3

Build a workflow

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

ZenHR

How ZenHR connects and integrates with WEXTL

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

Full ZenHR API documentation

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

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

Field	Type	Help
Client IDRequired	text	Log inot ZenHR → Appliaction → Click on New Application, fill the details and copy your UID (Client ID).
Client SecretRequired	password	Log inot ZenHR → Appliaction → Click on New Application, fill the details and copy your Client Secret.

Connect ZenHR to popular apps on WEXTL

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

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

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

ZenHR on WEXTL has 131 modules for combining hr automations. Explore ZenHR documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about automating ZenHR in your workflows.

ZenHR has 20 triggers, including "Watch Branch Documents", "Watch Branch Employees", and "Watch Branch Terminations", and more. Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.

Integration has 111 actions, including "Get a Branch", "Get a Branch Termination", and "Get a Branch Work Shift", and more. Refer to our ZenHR 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 ZenHR integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by ZenHR official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.

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