### After the connection

* Confirm your **People list** matches Factorial's active workforce.
* In **Settings → People → Fields**, set Factorial as the source of truth for HR‑owned fields if you're also connected to an IdP.
* Build a Day‑1 onboarding workflow using the Start date trigger.

### Sync frequency

Factorial data refreshes automatically every few hours. Trigger an immediate refresh from **Settings → Integrations → Factorial → Sync now**.

### Common workflows

**Day‑1 onboarding.** *Trigger: Start date. Actions: create IdP account, assign apps by department, ship equipment, DM manager.*

**Offboarding on end date.** *Trigger: End date. Actions: revoke sessions, remove app access, equipment pickup, notify manager.*

### Troubleshooting

**Employees missing.** Only active employees and future hires sync by default. Confirm status and work email in Factorial.

**Manager field empty.** In Factorial, check the employee has a manager assigned on their profile.

**Connection shows "needs reauthorization".** Reconnect from **Settings → Integrations → Factorial**.
