API & SFTP • Calendars • SMS & Voice

Seamless Integrations. Zero Friction.

Amara connects with your HRIS, calendars, and communication stack via secure REST APIs or SFTP. Real‑time when you need it, batch when you prefer it.


HRIS & Core Systems

Sync employee master data, org charts, cost centers, and lifecycle events. Choose real‑time API or scheduled SFTP depending on your policy and infra preferences.

REST API

Best for near real‑time experiences (new joiners, movers, leavers). OAuth2/JWT auth, idempotent endpoints, RBAC‑scoped keys.

  • Endpoints: /employees, /org-units, /managers, /attributes, /events

  • Filters & pagination for delta sync; webhooks for change events

  • TLS 1.2+, HMAC request signing (optional), IP allow‑listing

  • Audit logs for every call; 429/5xx retry semantics

GET /api/v1/employees?updated_after=2025-08-01T00:00:00Z Authorization: Bearer X-Org:

SFTP (Batch)

Best for daily or weekly transfers when API access isn’t preferred.

  • PGP‑encrypted CSV/Parquet; schema validation & error reports

  • Delta or full loads; automated de‑duplication

  • Secure server with per‑customer chroot & key‑based auth

  • Delivery acknowledgements & checksum verification

Templates: employees.csv, org_units.csv, managers.csv, attributes.csv



Google Calendar

Create HRBP follow‑ups, 1:1s, and resolution reviews from within Amara.

  • OAuth with domain‑wide delegation (admin consent)

  • Bi‑directional: updates/declines reflected in Amara cases

  • Auto‑reminders, time‑zone aware scheduling

Microsoft Outlook

Works with Microsoft 365 & Exchange Online.

  • Azure AD consent, Graph API integration

  • Attendee availability, room resources, series meetings

  • Single‑sign‑on & conditional access compatible


Communication Integrations

Reach employees on channels they already use. Mix SMS for reach, voice for urgency, and email for detail—fully audited and opt‑out compliant.

SMS Gateways

Global & local providers (e.g., Twilio, Gupshup, MSG91, Infobip).

  • OTP, survey links, nudges with DLT/opt‑in compliance (India)

  • Automatic fallback & delivery reporting

Voice (IVR)

Trigger automated or agent‑assisted calls for critical follow‑ups.

  • Text‑to‑speech, call‑flows, voicemail capture

  • Use cases: absentee alerts, escalations, wellbeing checks

Email

SMTP relay, Outlook, and Gmail.

  • Branded domains (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), template personalization

  • Bounce handling, UTM tracking, audit logs

How data flows

Whether via API or SFTP, data enters a secure ingestion layer, is validated, encrypted, and mapped to your org structure before powering conversations, surveys, dashboards, and alerts.
