Overview
PeopleSoft is a suite of applications that mid-sized to large companies incorporate as a workforce management solution. This integration facilitates the distribution of surveys in areas such as employee satisfaction, onboarding, training, and benefits, enhancing data-driven decision-making, boosting employee engagement, and automating time-consuming HR processes through Alchemer's robust Workflow and survey capabilities.
With PeopleSoft and Alchemer, you and your team can:
- Integrate Alchemer Survey and Workflow capabilities into your PeopleSoft processes and flows by initiating a Workflow in Alchemer when defined events occur in a PeopleSoft application.
The PeopleSoft initiator uses webhooks. You can call the initiator from anywhere in PeopleSoft where you are able to make HTTPS calls to a webhook.
