Short answer

How can I check if my HRIS data is syncing correctly?

Your AI uses Finch to pull the status of automated sync jobs and inspect your HRIS connection health. You'll get a clear picture of whether your data is flowing or if a connection has dropped. This breakdown shows you how the AI handles those checks.

Sync status outcomes

Where your sync data lands.

The AI routes information based on what you're looking for.

STATUS

Sync job tracking

The AI pulls the latest results from your automated syncs. You'll see which jobs finished and which ones hit a snag.

HEALTH

Connection monitoring

Your agent checks the underlying HRIS connection. This tells you if the link between Finch and your HRIS is active.

DETAILS

Deep dive into jobs

When a specific sync looks off, the AI pulls the exact details for that job. You'll get the specific error or success state.

ACTION

Human intervention

If a sync fails, the AI flags it for you. You'll need to step in to fix credentials or resolve data mismatches in your HRIS.

The workflow

What your AI does when a sync status is requested.

The AI acts as your eyes on the Finch integration.

  1. List all jobs

    The AI first looks at the full list of scheduled sync tasks to find what you're asking about.

    list_automated_jobs

  2. Identify specific jobs

    Once it finds the relevant task, the AI pulls the specific details for that individual sync job.

    get_automated_job

  3. Check connection health

    The AI looks deeper into the connection itself to ensure the HRIS link is still valid.

    introspect

  4. Report findings

    The AI summarizes the job status and connection health in plain language for you.
