How Twine helps you integrate with SFTP

Working across several HR and payroll systems is everyday life for many organisations and their HR and payroll teams. But when the systems are not integrated, you get manual work, entry errors and needless admin.

Twine helps you integrate SFTP with your other systems so the right data is in the right place, automatically.

Whether you want to sync employee data with your payroll system, send payroll input to it, or create users automatically, we build a flexible, tailored integration for your needs.

Our integration syncs SFTP data with any system on our platform. See which systems can be integrated with SFTP via Twine.

How a SFTP integration works

The SFTP integration connects Twine to an SFTP server for file exchange. Twine can fetch files placed on the server — for example employee exports produced by another system — and deliver files that Twine's integrations produce, such as payroll export files. It is typically combined with a file-format integration like Spreadsheet, JSON File, or PAXML that reads or produces the files themselves.

Our integration syncs data between SFTP and any system in your landscape. When information is updated in one system, the change is passed on automatically.

You decide:

01 Which data is sent
02 How fields are mapped
03 How often the systems sync
04 Whether the integration is one-way or two-way

What can be integrated with SFTP?

Our integrations are dynamic, so you choose exactly which data to send and how it is mapped. This is the data Twine can exchange with SFTP:

Files Both ways

Who is this integration for?

About SFTP

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for transferring files encrypted over SSH. It is a common way for HR and payroll systems to send and receive files, such as payroll input and employee exports.
