Introduction

Talent is a set of tools which empowers your HR and people managers. Eloops integrates to Talent to bring more power to Talent with Eloops’ custom data sharing and PowerApp.

There are several benefits of using such service:

  • Share information between your organization and Eloops, example: Eloops’ points can be shared and sync with Talent and may be shown under the employee’s information

  • Adding and removing employees from your organization can be done from your own user management tool (Talent)

  • You may add an extra layer of security/limitation to your users via the service you are using, example: changing the user’s status on Talent will be updated on Eloops

  • No more manual updates!

  • Add an extra layer of employees experience to your Talent withEloops’ PowerApps

Architecture/How it Works

Eloops uses a Server to Server architecture. Eloops’ Server requests permission to get the shared data from Talent. Talent’s API will response with the employees’ data plus the custom shared fields. Eloops’ will create new users in its database from the given employees’ data. From now on Talent’s users may login to Eloops with their Talent’s credentials. Performing actions on Eloops will be reflected on Talent, such as getting coins/Total uploads and other shred data between Eloops and Talent.
