Introduction
The Connectors functionality in the HP Workforce Experience Platform (WXP) helps to connect the platform with third-party systems and tools. Connectors act as bridge that support data sharing, process automation, and communication between different systems. This allows organizations to extend the platform’s capabilities while continuing to use their existing tools.
Using connectors, organizations can improve compatibility between systems, reduce manual work, and increase efficiency. The platform supports a growing set of pre-built and customizable connectors to support various business needs.

Some of the key features include:
- Seamless integration: Enable seamless integration with third-party platforms through pre-built logic.
- Real-time data exchange: Support real-time data exchange and synchronization between systems.
- Workflow automation: Automate workflows to reduce manual tasks and improve operational efficiency.
- Self-service configuration: Provide a centralized self-service portal for configuring and managing integrations.
- Customizable data mapping: Offer customizable field mapping and data transformation capabilities to fit specific business needs.
- Low-code/no-code support: Facilitate low-code or no-code integration using reusable templates and workflows.
- Monitoring and health checks: Enable monitoring and health checks for each connector to ensure stability.
- Simplified API handling: Abstract API complexity to make implementation and maintenance easier for users.
Use Cases
Some of the popular use cases are:
- Power BI and Tableau integration for data analytics
- Scenario: Your organization wants to integrate operational data from the Workforce Experience platform into Power BI and Tableau for advanced visual analytics and reporting.
- Solution: Use the Power BI and Tableau connectors to enable automated data extraction and synchronization. This allows your analytics teams to generate real-time dashboards and make data-driven decisions without having to rely on manual data transfers.
- Automating notifications and tasks with power automate
- Scenario: Your HR team wants to automate onboarding tasks and send notifications when a new employee is added to the system.
- Solution: The Power Automate connector triggers workflows based on real-time data from the Workforce Experience platform. Notifications, task creation, and cross-platform updates are handled automatically, improving response time and reducing administrative workload.
- Device and performance monitoring with Dynatrace and Splunk
- Scenario: Your Infrastructure team wants to monitor device health and application performance using industry-standard tools.
- Solution: Integrating Dynatrace and Splunk through their respective connectors enables real-time telemetry from the Workforce Experience platform. This is useful to detect, troubleshoot, and resolve performance issues faster.
- Self-service Integrations for enterprise platforms
- Scenario: Your organization requires integrations with various systems, such as Workday, Jira Service Management, and Salesforce.
- Solution: Using the Fastn-powered self-service portal, you can configure and deploy connectors independently. This helps to reduce reliance on IT and accelerating time to value. With reusable workflows and abstracted API complexity, new integrations can be implemented with minimal effort.
