Use cases

What teams actually do with the Employment Hero integration

New-hire onboarding cascade

Employment Hero fires a hire event → BeforeQuery reads the role, team, and manager → provisions Okta account + Slack channels + GitHub team + laptop order + calendar meetings + welcome messages, all in the right order with the right approvals, in under 90 seconds.

Offboarding orchestration

Employment Hero termination event → BeforeQuery revokes SSO, transfers file ownership, closes tickets, cancels calendar invites, and archives the employee's Slack DMs — the entire deprovisioning cascade tracked to zero orphaned access in under 15 minutes.

HR policy Q&A grounded in Employment Hero + PTO records

Employees ask "how many days of PTO do I have left?" or "what's my parental leave policy?" — BeforeQuery pulls their record from Employment Hero, matches against your policy documents, and answers with the specific numbers for that employee.

Answer questions grounded in Employment Hero

Employees and customers ask Employment Hero-related questions in Slack, Teams, or the widget — BeforeQuery answers with the exact Employment Hero record shown alongside the response. No context switching, no "log into HRIS / HCM / WFM to check" round-trips.

Employment Hero — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to Employment Hero.

The minimum set for the playbooks you enable. For onboarding: users, roles, manager relationships, start dates. For PTO Q&A: leave balances + policy. You approve the scope at install; nothing else is pulled. Sensitive fields (comp, PHI) can be excluded even from approved scopes.
Role-change events from Employment Hero propagate through the Context Graph on next sync (typically < 5 min). Group memberships, approval chains, and access policies re-evaluate automatically. Any playbook that depended on the old role uses the new one on its next run — no manual re-configuration.
Standard OAuth 2.0 where Employment Hero supports it, otherwise API-key or bearer-token auth. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) per workspace, never shared across customers, and rotated on request. The connection is scoped to the least-privilege set of scopes each playbook needs — you approve the scope list on install.
No. Your Employment Hero data feeds only your workspace's own agents and answers. Nothing is used to train a shared model, and nothing crosses workspace boundaries. Bring-your-own-model is available on Enterprise if you want to pin inference to your own OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted deployment.
Yes. Every Employment Hero integration is scoped at install time — you pick which resources, users, or record types are visible. You can further restrict per-playbook: a single playbook only touches the specific Employment Hero objects it needs. Scope changes take effect on the next sync.
Every write is logged with the acting user, the playbook that fired it, the exact operation, the target entity IDs, and the timestamp — all in the immutable audit log. Writes are rehearsable in simulation mode against a copy of live data before they touch Employment Hero for real.
