Namely

Connect Namely to Siit to sync your employee directory and lifecycle events. Namely is a popular HRIS for US mid‑market companies.

What you get

  • Live People directory — Namely employees appear in Siit with role, manager, department, and lifecycle dates.

  • Lifecycle triggers — Start date, Termination date, Work anniversary, and Birthday flow into Siit as workflow triggers.

  • Manager resolution — Namely's reporting structure powers auto‑selected approvers in workflows.

  • Pre‑hires — future employees with a start date in Namely appear in Siit ahead of Day 1.

After the connection

  • Confirm your People list matches Namely's active workforce.

  • In Settings → People → Fields, set Namely 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

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

Common workflows

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

Offboarding on termination. Trigger: Termination 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 Namely.

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

"Invalid credentials" on connect. The API token was revoked. Generate a new one and update Siit.
