Update User Attribute from Saviynt to UKG

[kishoreponnuru]

Hello Everyone, please help me with the following query.

At the moment we are trying to integrate the UKG Pro application to Saviynt using the REST connector. We want to know how to perform the write-back or update operations from Saviynt to UKG. 

For instance, updating the email ID, and first name of a user in UKG (Target) from Saviynt.

Please refer to the below link for the Saviynt & Ultipro integration

Introduction (saviyntcloud.com)

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Kishore.

• Create a Connection with updateUserJSON populated as below, Make sure that call name and action is Update Login and whatever call you have to make to update email /firstname change the respective parameters accordingly

    "actions": {
        "Update Login": {

                {
                    "name": "Update Login",

Hello Saathvik,

Thanks for the response.

UKG doesnt have any POST API to update the user attributes or details from Saviynt. So I want to know is there any other way to achieve this?

Regards,

Kishore.

As per UKG API documentation there is api for updating user details

https://doc.people-doc.com/api/?urls.primaryName=Client#/Platform%3A%20Users/put_users__id_

PUT​/users​/{id}

Update a `user`

Update an existing User.

For every field with a text content, if a break line is in the content sent, add a \ to the \ncharacter like this: \\n.

Parameters

Try it out
