Perplexity

Draft components from applicant lists.

Start with the `applicants` tool to list job applicants in UKG Ready. You can write a component that takes this list and displays it as an interactive table, all within Cline's environment. Tell Cline: 'Build me a dashboard showing new hires.' It uses `applicants`, runs the data through, and creates the necessary code components for you.

Write scripts to manage employee records.

The `employees` tool lists all staff members in UKG Ready. You can write a script that loops over this list—say, filtering by department—and then uses the data to generate a CSV file for review. Cline handles the whole thing: it calls `employees`, processes the resulting array, and writes the output data as a staged commit.

Automate time sheet aggregation.

Use the `timesheets` tool to list employee timesheets from UKG Ready. You can write tests that verify if every active user has submitted their hours for the required pay period. This is perfect for CI/CD: Cline executes a check using `timesheets`, finds gaps, and reports them immediately.
