# ADP

> Connect ADP Workforce Now to Windmill to sync employees, managers, departments, and org structure so your team data stays accurate without manual updates.

## Benefits of connecting ADP to Windmill

Connecting ADP to Windmill keeps your org structure accurate without manual updates. When ADP is the source of truth, Windmill automatically:

* Imports new hires
* Archives employees who leave
* Updates manager → direct report relationships
* Ensures teams and reporting lines are always current

This means review cycles, 1:1s, and feedback stay aligned to how your organization actually works — no spreadsheets or duplicate entry.

## Connected data

Windmill syncs the following fields from ADP:

| Field                        | Description                                   |
| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Employee Name                | Full legal name                               |
| Work Email                   | Used as the employee’s identity + login       |
| Job Title                    | Current title as listed in ADP                |
| Manager Relationship         | Org structure used for reviews and 1:1s       |
| Department                   | For grouping and cycle assignment             |

## Permissions

To connect ADP, the user enabling the integration must have:

The connection uses a secure OAuth authorization flow.\

## Managing employee + manager updates

If you need to:

* Update a manager
* Move someone to another team
* Change a title
* Archive a departing employee

> **Make the change in ADP.**\
> These changes will sync automatically to Windmill.

Any changes made **directly in Windmill** to these fields will be **overwritten** by the next sync.
