How to Connect Dayforce with Qooper?

Overview

Connecting Dayforce to Qooper is as easy as 1-2-3: once your Dayforce connection is configured, your employee data begins syncing automatically. With accurate Dayforce data flowing into Qooper, you're ready to launch mentoring, learning, and development programs with the right people at the right time.

Benefits of Integrating with Qooper

• Automated Data Sync: Employee profiles, organizational information, and employment status changes are synchronized from Dayforce to Qooper on a Daily or Weekly schedule.

• Streamlined Onboarding: New employees added in Dayforce can be automatically created in Qooper, reducing manual administration.

• Zero-touch Updates: Changes to employee information and employment status in Dayforce are automatically reflected in Qooper.

• Security and Compliance: The integration uses Dayforce's secure authentication framework and encrypted communication to protect your data.
  
  

 (1) Prepare Your Dayforce Integration User 👤

Before connecting Dayforce to Qooper, we recommend creating a dedicated service account for the integration.

Using a dedicated integration user ensures:

• Integration activity is logged under a designated account.
• Employee lifecycle changes won't disrupt the integration.
• Access is limited to only the data required for synchronization.
  
  

(1a) Enable API Access

If API access is not already enabled for your Dayforce tenant, contact your Dayforce representative or administrator to enable Web Services/API access.

(1b) Create a Service User

Create a dedicated service account (for example, QooperIntegration) that will be used exclusively for the Qooper integration.

Assign the account a role with access to the Dayforce Web Services features.

(1c) Configure Permissions

Grant the service account permission to read the employee data that will be synchronized with Qooper.

Typical fields include:

• Employee ID
• Email
• First Name
• Last Name
• Manager
• Department
• Job Title
• Country
• Work Location
• Employment Status (Active, Terminated, etc.)
• Hire Date
• Time in Current Role
• (or other custom fields, if applicable)

The exact permissions and field access required may vary depending on the employee attributes your organization chooses to synchronize with Qooper.

Once the integration requirements are finalized, ensure the service account has read access to all selected fields.

(1d) Gather Connection Information

You'll need the following information when creating the connection in Qooper:

• Username
• Password
• Dayforce Subdomain
• Client Namespace
• API Version

Locate Your Subdomain
