What connects

The data your programs run on.

Sesame HR is an HR and time-tracking platform popular in Spain and Latin America.

See every integration →
Fields you can use

Employee, job title, department, location, manager, start date, employment type, work email, mobile number and your custom fields.

You stay in control

You pick the fields that sync and whether the connection is read-only or also writes approved fields back to Sesame HR. Sensitive fields report coverage only, never values, when your team asks an AI assistant about them.

Who sees it

Editors only see what their role allows, and every change is logged.

Triggers

Events that start programs on their own.

When something changes in your system of record, the right people hear about it on the right channel. Nobody on the People team presses send.

New hire

A new employee in Sesame HR starts preboarding with a welcome, first-week details and a nudge to their manager.

Role change

A promotion or new job in Sesame HR triggers congratulations and moves them into the right audiences.

Country change

Moving countries or entities sends the right local details, holidays and contacts, in their language.

Manager change

The new manager gets a handoff and a prompt to say hello.

Anniversary

Work anniversaries trigger a message from their manager and an optional e-gift.

Last day

Offboarding steps go out on schedule, and leavers drop out of every audience after their last day.

What you can do

Six jobs your team stops doing by hand.

Audiences built from Sesame HR

Target by country, entity and language, using the Sesame HR fields you already keep up to date.

Audiences that keep themselves current

Every department, location and manager in Sesame HR becomes a live audience. New hires are in on day one, and leavers drop out on their last.

Onboarding that starts on its own

A start date in Sesame HR kicks off preboarding, day one and the first 90 days, with manager nudges built in.

Milestones nobody forgets

Work anniversaries and promotions recorded in Sesame HR trigger a message, a manager prompt or an e-gift on the day.

Messages that sound personal

Merge first name, manager, location and role into every email, Slack/Teams post and text, so a company-wide update reads like it was written for one person.

Results by team, site and manager

Every read and click rolls up by the Sesame HR fields you already track, ready for leadership without a spreadsheet.

In detail

How it works, in practice.

From Sesame HR record to live audience

Every person in Sesame HR becomes one ChangeEngine profile. Departments, locations, managers and custom fields turn into audiences you can combine, like every people manager in two locations, and they update on every sync.

Built for European companies

European teams work across countries and languages. ChangeEngine targets by country and entity, sends the right language version to each person and schedules it for their local time, with EU data residency available.

Read, or read and write

Most teams start read-only. If you want ChangeEngine to send data back to Sesame HR, you approve write access for specific fields, every change is logged, and you can switch it off at any time.

Setup

Live in about two weeks.

Your services team runs the setup with IT. When you need something that is not in the box, your forward deployed engineer builds it.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they connect

Can ChangeEngine write data back to Sesame HR?

Yes, if you want it to. Most teams start read-only. You can turn on write access for the specific fields you approve, every change is logged, and Sesame HR stays your system of record.

Can we use our custom Sesame HR fields?

Yes. Custom fields map the same way as standard ones, so you can target, personalize or trigger a program on anything your team already keeps up to date in Sesame HR.

How long does it take to connect Sesame HR?

Most teams are live with HRIS and SSO in about two weeks. IT approves the connection, we map fields with you on a call, and your audiences fill themselves.

Is our Sesame HR data secure in ChangeEngine?

Yes. ChangeEngine is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, you choose US, EU or Canadian data residency, and AI providers are contractually barred from training on your data.

Can we send in local languages and time zones?

Yes. Use the country and language fields from Sesame HR to send the right version to each person, in their local time.

What happens when a Sesame HR record is wrong?

ChangeEngine flags people the last sync could not place, for example because of a duplicate record. Fix it in Sesame HR and they are picked up on the next sync.
