Teamflect integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) - a cloud-based identity and access management service provided by Microsoft. This integration enables Teamflect to automatically pull user details such as:

  • Manager information

  • Organizational chart structure

  • Department

  • Job title

  • Location

  • Employee hire date

  • Birthday

  • And any custom attributes created in Entra ID.

How the Azure AD Integration Works

1. Secure API-Based Connection

When you integrate Teamflect with Azure AD:

  • Teamflect connects via Azure AD's API (Application Programming Interface)

  • This API (A.K.A. Graph API) enables secure, structured data retrieval

  • Manager information is stored as a user attribute in Azure AD

  • Teamflect fetches this data via authorized API endpoints

This process ensures your employee information remains accurate and consistent across Teamflect without the need for manual updates.

2. Need Help Setting It Up?

For more detailed information on how to set up and manage this integration, we recommend referring to Teamflect's documentation here or contacting our support team for assistance.

3. No Azure AD? No Problem.

If your organization doesn’t use Azure AD, you can still manually manage user relationships directly in Teamflect. To do so, please follow the steps outlined in this article.
