Usage
This article is mainly to understand and test how to retrieve data from custom forms in Emply.
It can be used as inspiration on how to build a service program that can get data from Emply API.
You will need an API key from your Emply application, and the name or ID of the form you would like to get data from
You can find our updated API here.
Employees API is used to get all data that have been collected by a form that are used for employees and onboarding area.
Forms are customizable and can therefore contain a lot of the data you would need for your integration or workflow outside Emply.
Test the data you can expose in the API
Go to API here
Have your API key ready and login
Using Employees API with/without a FormId
This example uses employees, but you can use similar with 'Candidates API'.
You are required to enter
- Date (if no response try to go further back to see when these were created)
- Customer prefix
- (Optional) If you enter a specific formID it will only return employees where that form has been used.
It will return these basic employee informations and IDs
- Id (Employee profile ID)
- First name
- Last name
- DepartmentID
- AbsenceGroupID
- ManagerID
- Employee number
- Created date
- Updated date
Find the form ID - > Go to Forms API
And look for the ID of the form you need data from
Copy the ID you get and paste it into the Employees API and try it out
Get form data for a profile -> Go to FormData Api
Insert
- Id (Employee profile ID)
- Area
- FormID
This will return the data provided by the form and values in it.
