TABLE OF CONTENTS


Pre-Installation To-Do

Before you set up the integration, please note the following - 

  • 1-Way Sync Caution - This is a 1-way sync from Freshteam to 15Five, so once you set up the integration, please make sure that you do not edit any employee data directly on 15Five.

  • Group Set Up Condition (if you have Departments on Freshteam and you want that to have reflected on 15Five) - 

    • Before installation - Set up groups on 15Five. Please make sure that you name Groups in your 15Five account with the same spelling and case as Departments on Freshteam. For example, if you have Sales and Marketing as Departments on Freshteam, please make sure that you create groups named Sales and Marketing on 15Five. Note - These are case-sensitive, so sales with a lowercase ‘s’ will not be synced correctly.
