Executive Summary
PyjamaHR offers integrations with popular job boards and HR tools, but many customers need to connect with platforms not currently supported. This article explains exactly how to request integration with a new platform, what to expect from the process, and best practices to maximize your chances of success. Whether you want to automate workflows, connect with a specific job board, or streamline candidate data, this guide covers every step and scenario based on real customer experiences.
Detailed Overview
What Is a Platform Integration Request?
A platform integration request is when you ask PyjamaHR to connect with a third-party tool or service not currently supported—such as a job board, HRMS, automation tool (e.g., Zapier, Make, Pabbly, n8n), or productivity app (e.g., Google Sheets, DocuSign, Razorpay, CloudHQ, Wellfound, etc.). Integrations can automate data flow, reduce manual work, and enable advanced workflows.
When to Request an Integration:
- You need to automate data transfer between PyjamaHR and another tool (e.g., HRMS, onboarding, payroll, analytics).
- You want to post jobs to a job board not currently supported.
- You want to import/export candidate data in real time to/from another system.
- You need to trigger workflows in tools like Zapier, Make, or Google Sheets.
Business Impact:
- Streamlines hiring and onboarding processes.
- Reduces manual data entry and errors.
- Enables advanced automations and reporting.
- Centralizes candidate data for better decision-making.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Request a New Integration
1. Check Existing Integrations and Roadmap
Go to Settings > Integrations in PyjamaHR to see current supported platforms.
Review the Help Center for the latest on available integrations and roadmap updates.
If your desired platform is not listed, proceed to request.
2. Gather Key Information
Platform Name: (e.g., Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, DocuSign, Razorpay, CloudHQ, Wellfound, etc.)
Type of Integration Needed: (e.g., job posting, candidate import/export, webhook/API, workflow automation)
Specific Use Case: Describe exactly what you want to achieve (e.g., "automate onboarding data from PyjamaHR to our HRMS," "push new applicants to Google Sheets in real time," "send offer letters via DocuSign").
Volume/Frequency: Estimate how often you’d use the integration (helps prioritize requests).
Contact Details: Your registered email and company name.
3. Submit Your Request
Via Support Chat: Use the in-app chat and clearly state your integration request with all details above.
Via Email: Email [email protected] with subject “Integration Request: [Platform Name]” and include all details.
For Partnerships: If you represent another platform or have a partnership proposal, email [email protected] directly.
4. What Happens Next
Support will acknowledge your request and may ask for additional details.
Your request is shared with the product team for evaluation.
For premium/custom plan users, some integrations (e.g., custom API, webhooks, white-label career page, CloudHQ, etc.) may be available as a paid add-on or custom build. Sales will reach out if this applies.
If the integration is not on the immediate roadmap, your request is logged as feedback for future prioritization.
5. Follow Up and Track Progress
You may receive updates if your integration is prioritized or if more information is needed.
For urgent or high-volume requests, provide as much business context as possible to help the product team assess impact.
[Screenshot Suggestion: Show where to find the Integrations section in Settings, and an example of submitting a request via chat.]
Advanced Usage & Best Practices
Be Specific: Clearly describe your workflow, data fields, and triggers needed. Vague requests are less likely to be prioritized.
Volume Matters: If you have a high-volume or high-impact use case (e.g., automating onboarding for hundreds of hires), mention this.
Custom Plan Options: Some integrations (e.g., webhooks, custom APIs, white-label career pages, custom assessments) are available only on custom or premium plans, often with a one-time or per-use fee.
Workarounds: While waiting for direct integration, use available export/import features (e.g., export candidate data to Excel, use Chrome extension for job boards, upload resumes in bulk).
Feedback Loop: If you’re evaluating PyjamaHR and need integration to make a purchase decision, mention this for prioritization.
