Employee Feeds (User uploads) overview
Table of Contents
Paradox can consume client employee data through the manual addition of employees, manual CSV file import, CSV file import through a Paradox sFTP, or the Paradox API. CSV / SFTP is recommended, API should be used for specific client cases.
API
API POST: https://api.paradox.ai/api/v1/public/company/users
The API is designed to add, update, or delete a single user at a time. Clients will need to send a Full User file to load all users initially and then can manage the Add, Updates, and Deletion through the API.
When importing a file as a full file, the file must include all active users. Any users that were included in a previous upload and not in the most recent upload will be automatically deactivated in the CEM.
