## Overview

Hive HR centralises employee data, engagement surveys, performance reviews, and absence management in one platform — but HR teams lose hours every week manually copying data between Hive HR and payroll, onboarding, and reporting tools. With tray.ai, you can automate the full employee lifecycle, trigger real-time notifications, and sync workforce data across every system your business relies on. Whether you're syncing new starters to Active Directory, pushing absence data to payroll, or routing engagement alerts to managers, tray.ai makes those connections reliable and code-free.

## Use cases

### Automated Employee Onboarding Orchestration

When a new employee record is created or a start date is confirmed in Hive HR, tray.ai can instantly trigger a multi-system onboarding workflow — provisioning accounts in your identity provider, sending welcome emails via your comms platform, assigning onboarding tasks in your project management tool, and notifying IT and payroll teams simultaneously. HR no longer has to manually chase multiple departments every time a new hire joins.

- Reduce time-to-productivity by provisioning new hire accounts on day one without manual IT requests
- Stop missing onboarding steps by automating task creation across all relevant tools
- Payroll and finance get notified automatically, reducing payment errors for new starters

### Real-Time Absence and Leave Sync to Payroll

Absence requests approved in Hive HR can be automatically pushed to your payroll system, so leave balances and deductions stay accurate without manual data entry. tray.ai monitors Hive HR for status changes on leave requests and maps the relevant fields — employee ID, leave type, dates, and duration — to your payroll provider's schema in real time.

- Eliminate payroll errors caused by absence data being manually re-entered into a separate system
- Give payroll teams instant visibility of approved leave without waiting for weekly HR exports
- Keep leave balances accurate across systems, reducing employee disputes at pay review

### Employee Engagement Survey Alert Routing

Hive HR's engagement and pulse survey tools generate detailed sentiment data, but acting on it quickly means getting the right people notified straight away. tray.ai can parse Hive HR survey responses and route low-engagement alerts or concerning eNPS scores directly to line managers or HR business partners via Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email, so you can step in before issues escalate.

- Reduce response lag on low engagement scores by alerting managers in their existing communication tools
- Automate escalation workflows when engagement drops below a defined threshold across a team
- Log engagement trends automatically in your BI platform for longitudinal workforce analysis

### Performance Review Cycle Automation

Coordinating performance reviews across managers and employees involves dozens of reminders, deadline chases, and status checks. tray.ai can read active review cycles in Hive HR and automatically send calendar invites, Slack reminders, and escalation messages to managers who haven't completed reviews by a defined deadline — cutting the admin load on HR teams during review periods.

- Cut HR admin time spent chasing incomplete reviews by automating reminder sequences
- Improve completion rates by delivering reminders in the channels managers actually use
- Feed completed review data into your L&D or succession planning tools automatically

### Employee Offboarding and Access Revocation

When an employee's leaving date is recorded in Hive HR, tray.ai can immediately trigger a coordinated offboarding workflow — deactivating accounts in your identity provider, notifying IT to recover hardware, removing the employee from Slack workspaces, and alerting payroll to issue a final pay run. Nothing gets missed during a sensitive transition.

- Reduce security risk by automatically revoking system access on the employee's last working day
- IT, payroll, and facilities teams all receive offboarding tasks without manual coordination
- Maintain a full audit trail of every offboarding action triggered for compliance purposes

### HR Reporting and Workforce Analytics Sync

HR leaders need up-to-date headcount, turnover, and tenure data in their BI dashboards without waiting for manual exports from Hive HR. tray.ai can schedule or event-trigger extracts of employee records, department structures, and employment status changes from Hive HR and load them directly into data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift — or push summaries into Google Sheets or Tableau.

- Give HR and finance leaders access to live headcount and attrition data without manual reporting cycles
- Automate monthly workforce reports by pulling Hive HR data directly into your reporting tool
- Reduce dependency on HR to field ad-hoc data requests from the business

### Recruitment-to-HRIS Data Handoff

When a candidate is marked as hired in your ATS — whether that's Greenhouse, Lever, or Workable — tray.ai can automatically create or update the corresponding employee record in Hive HR, mapping offer details, role, department, and start date without any manual data re-entry. The gap between talent acquisition and HR operations closes itself.

- Eliminate duplicate data entry by having ATS hire events automatically populate Hive HR records
- HR gets complete and accurate employee data from day one, reducing administrative corrections
- Trigger onboarding workflows in Hive HR the moment a hire is confirmed in your ATS

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Fragmented Employee Data Across HR, Payroll, and IT Systems

Hive HR holds the authoritative employee record, but payroll, identity management, and finance tools each maintain their own copies. Without automated sync, these records quickly fall out of step — leading to payroll errors, orphaned accounts, and inaccurate headcount reports that quietly undermine business decisions.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai sits as the integration layer between Hive HR and all downstream systems, propagating employee record changes — new hires, role changes, leavers — to every connected tool in real time without custom code or manual exports. Field mapping handles differences in data schemas across systems automatically.

### No Native Webhooks or Real-Time Event Triggers for All Hive HR Events

Many HR workflows require immediate action — offboarding must trigger instant access revocation, and low engagement scores need same-day manager alerts. Where Hive HR doesn't expose webhook events for every relevant action, teams fall back on slow daily exports or manual monitoring, which defeats the point.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai supports both webhook-based triggers where available and intelligent polling for Hive HR endpoints that lack real-time events. You can configure polling intervals down to minutes, so you get near-real-time automation even for events not covered by native webhooks.

### Complex Multi-System Onboarding Involving Many Teams

New starter onboarding touches IT, payroll, facilities, the line manager, and HR — across tools like Okta, Xero, Jira, and Slack. Coordinating these manually means HR sends individual emails to each team, steps get missed, and new hires start without the access or equipment they need.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai orchestrates multi-branch onboarding workflows that fan out a single Hive HR trigger to parallel actions across all relevant systems simultaneously. Conditional logic handles edge cases — such as remote vs. office employees requiring different equipment provisioning steps — without requiring separate workflows.

### Data Mapping Complexity Between Hive HR and Third-Party Systems

Hive HR uses its own field naming, ID structures, and enumeration values — leave types, employment statuses, department codes — that rarely match the schema of payroll, ATS, or identity management tools. Building and maintaining these mappings manually is error-prone and breaks whenever either system updates its API.

**How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai's data mapping tools let you visually define and maintain field transformations between Hive HR and any connected system. JSONPath, helper functions, and lookup tables handle complex transformations, and when an API changes, you update the mapping in one place rather than hunting through custom code scattered across multiple scripts.

### Audit Trail and Compliance Requirements for HR Data Changes

HR data changes — particularly those involving payroll, access rights, and sensitive personal data — must be logged for GDPR compliance, internal audit, and employment law purposes. Manual processes leave no reliable audit trail, and ad-hoc integrations built on scripts rarely include logging by design.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Every workflow run in tray.ai generates a detailed execution log recording which data was processed, what actions were taken, and any errors encountered. These logs can be automatically forwarded to your SIEM or compliance reporting tool, giving HR and data protection teams a full audit trail of every automated action taken on Hive HR data.
