THIS INTEGRATION WILL BE LIVE SOON!



Remote is a global payroll and employee onboarding solution that helps organizations to hire and onboard talent without facing region-specific nuances related to payroll, compliance, onboarding regulations etc. 


Freshteam’s latest integration with Remote allows Freshteam customers to:

  • Sync new hire data to Remote on a real-time basis 
  • Sync updates in existing employee information 

This leads to HR teams focusing more on their strategic tasks instead of manually updating employee information.

Pre-Installation Guidelines

Before you set up the integration, please note the following: 

  • Mandatory field caution: While creating a new employee profile, please ensure that you add all the mandatory fields such as first name, last name, official email, employee ID, date of joining, employee type and employee designation. If any one of these fields is missing, the real-time sync will not happen from Freshteam-Remote. 


  • One-way sync caution: This is a one-way sync from Freshteam to Remote, so once you set up the integration, please ensure that you do not edit any employee data directly on Remote.


  • Freshteam >> Remote data sync frequency: 
    • Whenever a new employee is created on Freshteam, the sync will happen real-time on Remote. 
    • For existing employees, in every 6 mins, 4 employees are synced to Remote. This will only take place for users on a free trial of Freshteam.
    • For users on a paid plan of Freshteam, in every 6 mins, 22 employees are synced to Remote.
