1. Introduction
Integrating Namely with Engagedly allows admins to sync employee details, including custom fields, from Namely directly into Engagedly. The integration improves efficiency, streamlines administrative workflows, and ensures employee data stays accurate and up to date. It also helps reduce manual updates and maintain consistent employee records across both platforms. Learn more in Overview of integrations.

5. Sync employee accounts
Contact our support team to schedule user data syncs to keep employee accounts up-to-date in Engagedly. Syncs can run once daily, twice daily, or at a frequency you specify.
During each sync, Engagedly automatically:
- Adds new employees
- Updates existing employee records
- Blocks or dismisses employees as required
- Updates departments, job titles, and other mapping attributes
Employee details update automatically after every sync. You may also request our support team to stop syncing at any time.
6. Primary unique identifier
By default, email ID serves as the primary unique identifier for employees. If you prefer to use employee ID, contact our support team to update this setting.
📒Note: If the primary identifier is set to employee ID, you must fill in the “Employee Number” field in Namely when:
- Adding a new user, or
- Syncing existing users from Namely
This ensures successful user creation and synchronization.
7. Sync status and reports
Contact our support team to request the current sync status and detailed reports.
8. Troubleshooting
If the admin changes or the token becomes invalid, you must generate a new personal access token and share it with our support team to troubleshoot sync issues.
