We regularly make updates and feature improvements to HRIS Link. This changelog shares HRIS Link's evolvement over time.
Changelog

HRIS Link for hired candidates – HRIS Link can automatically export hired candidates from Greenhouse Recruiting, allowing you to sync new hire information with your HRIS. Learn more.
January 28, 2023
Introducing HRIS Link management – HRIS Link uses HRIS reports to import and update jobs, offices, departments, and user accounts from your HRIS to Greenhouse Recruiting. Now with HRIS Link management, you can now manage HRIS credentials and reports directly within Greenhouse Recruiting, saving time and enhancing your data security.
October 28, 2022
HRIS Link user import now supports required custom fields, if the field is required on the import report. Read more here.
October 17, 2022
In addition to assigning users to departments and offices, HRIS Link now supports custom user fields on HRIS Link user import. Custom user fields allow you to capture and maintain user data unique to your organization. Read more here.
Additionally, HRIS Link's default API key now includes the endpoint DELETE: Destroy openings.
March 25, 2022
We corrected an issue in which user syncs erroneously updated the incorrect Greenhouse Recruiting profile when the HRIS report included an employee ID but no email address. Now HRIS Link will present an error unless an email address is provided that matches an email address in Greenhouse Recruiting.
January 21, 2022
Automated export emails from HRIS Link now include the candidate name, job name, requisition ID, workflow ID, and export location in the email body.
December 10, 2021
HRIS Link email notifications now include the time that the workflow was run.
October 26, 2021
Update to support assigning coordinator and sourcer with HRIS Link – HRIS Link originally only included the ability to assign hiring managers and recruiters to the Greenhouse Recruiting hiring team. Now HRIS Link will be able to assign users to all Greenhouse Recruiting hiring team roles, including coordinator and sourcer, as well as assign hiring team members a Job Admin level.
How does this affect the HRIS Link integration?
There is no impact to your existing HRIS Link integration, but you now have the additional option to assign the hiring team roles of coordinator and sourcer via HRIS Link by adding the relevant columns to your jobs report. You can review the job import report specifications here.

Adding openings to an already open requisitions
Can this option be be enabled / deactivated?
No, this is standard integration functionality for HRIS Link.
Note: This option only applies if requisitions are enabled in your HRIS platform.
How does this change the integration behavior for HRIS Link using position management with job requisitions?
Historically HRIS Link didn't support adding positions to open requisitions after initial job creation. If a user were to add positions to the HRIS requisition, the additional positions would not appear in Greenhouse Recruiting as new openings on the corresponding Greenhouse Recruiting job. With this update, HRIS Link allows users to add positions to open requisitions in their HRIS and see those positions added as new openings in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Does this update require adding any permissions to the HRIS Link API key?
Yes, POST: Create New Openings. Check out the below table for an in-depth look at integration functionality.

Supporting job post location for HRIS Link job import
Is this a configuration option that can be enabled/deactivated?
No, this is standard integration functionality for HRIS Link.
How does the integration behave with the new report header?
If an organization provides the report header of Job_Post_Location, the integration will be able to apply a job post location-based on Greenhouse Recruiting office external id.
Note: This feature only works if your organization leverages a structured job post location based on your organization's office list.
Sending invitation email when creating user accounts with user sync
Is this a configuration option that can be enabled / deactivated?
No, this is standard integration functionality for HRIS Link.
How does the integration behave with the new report header?
This update will only affect new user creation. When the “send_email_invite” report header is included and the values provided meet the report specifications, organizations will be able to trigger invitation emails to users upon creation of their Greenhouse Recruiting accounts via HRIS Link.
Does this update require adding any permissions to the HRIS Link API Key?
No.
Office and department hierarchy with HRIS Link
Is this a configuration option that can be enabled/deactivated?
No, this is standard integration functionality for HRIS Link.
How does the integration behave with the new external_parent_id report header?
This update will only affect new department and office creation. HRIS Link will not maintain office or department hierarchy updates that happen after initial office / department creation with HRIS Link.
When creating an office or department, HRIS Link will audit the report to see if the report header external_parent_id is included in the report for the new office or department. If the new office or department has a valid “parent_external_id” included, the office or department will be created in Greenhouse Recruiting subsidiary to the office / department with the corresponding external_parent_id in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Does this update require adding any permissions to the HRIS Link API Key?
No.
HRIS Link for office and department import requiring external_id
How does this affect the HRIS Link integration?
Previously we suggested that customers include external_ids for offices and departments that utilize HRIS Link. When HRIS Link expanded functionality to support hierarchy creation, the external_id report header became required for HRIS Link.
If a new office or department is created in the HRIS without an external_id and appears on the HRIS Link report, the integration will ignore said office or department on that integration run.
Does this update require adding any permissions to the HRIS Link API Key?
No.
Update to HRIS Link partnership API key
On September 23, 2021, the Greenhouse Technical Consulting team works with the Greenhouse Partnership team to create an API key that is automatically provisioned with the appropriate API key permissions for the HRIS Link integration. As the integration expands functionality with additional configuration options, the API key permissions need to be updated.
In this case, Greenhouse Recruiting updated the following API key permissions:
- GET: List Job Post for Job
- DELETE: Delete job
- POST: Add hiring team member
How does this affect the HRIS Link integration?
If you are a current HRIS Link client, you will want to check the API key permissions for the Harvest API key that is used for the integration to ensure that the above API Key permissions are equipped.
