Integration with ADP iHCM

Automate employee onboarding, progression, and offboarding to your IT landscape

Let IT automatically adapt to HR processes. New employees receive immediate access to the right systems, job changes are processed automatically, and upon termination, access is immediately revoked. This facilitates faster, more consistent onboarding and offboarding without manual steps.

  • ADP iHCM as your central place for HR data
  • ISO27001 certified

Why would you integrate your IT environment with ADP iHCM?

In many organisations, errors, delays, and security risks occur because HR systems and IT environments operate independently. With Joinly's HR ↔ integration, you use your HR system as the central source for identity management. This ensures accounts, roles, and access are automatically synchronised based on HR data. Without manual actions.

  • Automatic onboarding, offboarding and changes

    New employees are automatically created in your IT environment (Microsoft, ERP, CRM, Financial system) as soon as they appear in your HR system. No tickets, no waiting times and instantly productive from day one.

  • Better security & compliance

    Access is automatically adjusted with role changes and immediately revoked upon termination of employment. This helps prevent zombie accounts and makes it easier to comply with security and audit requirements.

  • Less management, more control

    IT no longer needs to manage manual accounts. Everything is handled centrally, predictably, and transparently via Joinly with logging, monitoring, and error handling.

  • Save on software costs

    Nothing is more annoying than paying for something you do not use; Joinly automatically deactivates accounts that are not being used in your Microsoft environment, CRM, ERP, or other software package.

What happens the moment HR changes something

Four moments in an employment, the same pattern every time: ADP iHCM leads and Joinly carries out the consequences.

Your business software - Target systems

  1. Employee is created

    As soon as a new employee is created in ADP iHCM, Joinly automatically creates it in all your business applications. This ensures the account is automatically provisioned and created for the new employee.

  2. Employee data is being modified

    Joinly retrieves the updated data from your HR system and synchronises all changes to your integrated business software.

  3. Employee changes role and/or department

    A position change in ADP iHCM can affect the applications and/or permissions the employee has access to. The job change is automatically retrieved by Joinly and synchronised to your business software.

  4. Employee exits service

    When an employee leaves the company, they are automatically deactivated by Joinly so that rights from applications are revoked and accounts are deactivated.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about this integration

The questions IT managers considering this integration ask us most. If yours is not here, put it to us during the demo.

  • What exactly does the integration between ADP iHCM and Joinly do?

    Joinly reads your employees from ADP iHCM and uses that as the source of truth for access management. A new hire, a role change or a departure in ADP iHCM is translated automatically into accounts and permissions in Microsoft Entra ID, your on-premises Active Directory and your connected applications. You maintain the data once, where it belongs.

  • How does Joinly retrieve data from ADP iHCM, and how often?

    Over an API, not by exchanging files: Joinly collects the employees from an endpoint on your ADP iHCM environment, using its own authentication key. No CSV involved. How often that happens is up to you — hourly, daily or weekly, at a time you set. Most organisations run the import overnight, so a new joiner has an account waiting the next morning.

  • Which data does Joinly take from ADP iHCM?

    Only what is needed to decide on an account and the right permissions: employee number, name (including preferred and partner name), date of birth, start and end date, business and private contact details, department, manager and job title. Salary, absence and appraisal data stay in ADP iHCM. Which field ends up where is yours to set in the field mapping.

  • Does Joinly write anything back to ADP iHCM?

    Optionally. Joinly can write the username (UPN), the email address and the phone number back into ADP iHCM, so HR can see which account belongs to which employee. You switch that write-back on or off yourself; by default the integration runs one way, out of ADP iHCM.

  • Will Joinly overwrite our existing accounts?

    No. Joinly first imports your existing environment and matches the accounts it finds there to the employees from ADP iHCM. Existing accounts are recognised and adopted rather than created twice. Which matching strategy applies — person identifier, employee number or UPN — is yours to choose.

  • Can we try this without risk first?

    Yes. You run the import as a dry run first: Joinly calculates everything, writes nothing, and hands you an Excel export of exactly what would happen. After that a threshold keeps watching. If ADP iHCM delivers more new, activated or deactivated employees in one run than you allowed, Joinly blocks the import instead of executing it.

  • What about people who are not in ADP iHCM?

    Contractors, hired staff and interns are registered directly in Joinly or through a second source. From then on they follow the same lifecycle as the employees from ADP iHCM, end date included — so temporary access expires by itself instead of lingering.

  • Can we connect ADP iHCM to several systems at once?

    Yes. A single HR source can feed both Microsoft Entra ID and an on-premises Active Directory, plus your business applications and your ITSM system. Hybrid organisations use that to keep cloud and on-premise following the same truth. Several HR sources side by side is possible too.

  • How long does it take to set up the ADP iHCM integration?

    The integration is a matter of configuration, not development: Joinly collects employees from one normalised endpoint, so nothing has to be built into the platform to support ADP iHCM. The work is in the agreements — which fields lead, which naming convention you use and which permissions belong to which job. Most organisations start with onboarding and expand into role changes and offboarding afterwards.

  • Is the integration secure, and does it cover our audit obligations?

    Joinly is ISO27001-certified. Traffic with ADP iHCM runs over a secured connection with its own authentication key, and every change Joinly makes is recorded. At audit time you can show who was given which access when, why it was granted and when it was revoked again.

  • What does the integration cost?

    The integration is part of the subscription — you pay per account per month, not per connector. The pricing page shows what the plans cost and what each one includes.

More about ADP iHCM

ADP iHCM integration with Joinly: automation of user management

Many organizations use ADP iHCM as an HR and payroll system. The platform contains all important employee data, but without a connection to your IT environment, user management often remains manual, error-prone, and time-consuming.

The challenges without integration

When ADP iHCM is not integrated with your applications, familiar problems arise:

  • New employees wait too long for access to systems and applications

  • Accounts are still manually managed via Excel or separate requests to IT

  • Departed employees sometimes retain access longer than desirable

  • HR data and IT accounts are not synchronized, leading to errors and security risks

This leads to frustration, increased workload, and a higher risk of data breaches.



How Joinly solves this

With the ADP iHCM integration from Joinly, user management is fully automated. As soon as HR makes a change in ADP iHCM – such as a hiring, position change, or termination – Joinly ensures that this change is immediately processed in all connected applications.



Benefits of the ADP iHCM integration

  • New employees gain immediate access to the right applications

  • Changes in position, department, or contract are immediately implemented

  • Accounts of former employees are timely and securely deactivated

  • HR is in charge, IT no longer needs to perform manual management

This creates a streamlined workflow where HR and IT collaborate from one reliable source. The result: higher efficiency, better security, and faster onboarding.
