Introduction to integration via WorkOS

Learn how Perkbox integrations via WorkOS keep employee details in sync and simplify sign-in.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Integrating Perkbox with your existing systems helps you save time, reduce manual admin and give employees a smoother sign-in experience.

Perkbox uses WorkOS, a trusted third-party integration platform, to securely connect with your people directory and your company authentication method.

With these integrations in place, your employee details stay up to date automatically and employees can sign in using the same credentials they already use at work.


What is WorkOS?

WorkOS is a third-party platform that powers Perkbox integrations.

It allows Perkbox to securely connect with your existing systems, such as your HR platform or identity provider, so information can flow automatically between them.

Using WorkOS means integrations are reliable, secure and easy to maintain, without ongoing manual effort from your team.


How does integrating my people directory help?

Integrating your people directory helps automate employee management in Perkbox.

Once connected:

  • New starters are added to Perkbox automatically

  • Leavers are removed when their employment ends

  • Employee updates stay in sync without manual changes

The following details are kept up to date in Perkbox:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Employment status

This reduces the need for manual uploads and helps ensure your Perkbox account always reflects your current workforce.


How does Single Sign-On (SSO) help admins and employees?

Single Sign-On lets employees access Perkbox using your existing company login details.

Benefits for admins

  • No need to manually invite employees to Perkbox

  • Fewer login-related queries from employees

  • Employees can access Perkbox from your intranet, if available, or via your Perkbox company portal

Benefits for employees

  • One-click access to Perkbox

  • No new passwords to remember

  • A smoother and more secure sign-in experience using existing work credentials
