How the SAP SuccessFactors integration works

SAP SuccessFactors is one of Matter’s supported HRIS platforms. When connected, SAP SuccessFactors employee data can sync into Matter to help streamline profile management, reduce manual updates, and keep recognition, rewards, and survey programs current.

After setup, Matter automatically syncs with your HRIS, and later syncs run every 24 hours to keep data current. Admins can set up your HRIS integration and manage actions like starting a sync immediately, viewing sync history, reconnecting the HRIS, or disconnecting it when needed.
