You’ll see: | Field | Example | | --- | --- | | **Directory Provider** | Entra ID (Azure AD) | | **Directory State** | Active | | **Users Count** | 100+ | | **Groups Count** | 1 | Once connected, Linq displays **Directory Activated** with a green checkmark. --- ### **Step 2: Configure Membership Behavior** **Automatically Approve New Members** Toggle ON if you want new employees added immediately. Toggle OFF if you prefer manual approval under “Pending.” ![Screenshot 2025-12-05 at 8.14.30 AM](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.14.30%20AM.png?width=670&height=120&name=Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.14.30%20AM.png) --- ### **Step 3: Assign Teams and Templates (Optional if Automatic approval** - **New Member Team Assignment:** Select from your existing teams. - **New Member Page Template Assignment:** Choose your organization’s page layout . ![Screenshot 2025-12-05 at 8.15.05 AM](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.15.05%20AM.png?width=670&height=296&name=Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.15.05%20AM.png) These settings determine where new users land and what their initial Linq page looks like. --- ### **Step 4: Choose Synced Attributes** You can control which HR fields are synced to Linq. ![Screenshot 2025-12-05 at 8.15.55 AM](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.15.55%20AM.png?width=670&height=304&name=Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.15.55%20AM.png) Click the **Force Sync HR Directory** button at the bottom to trigger a manual refresh at any time. ![Screenshot 2025-12-05 at 8.16.18 AM](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.16.18%20AM.png?width=670&height=62&name=Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.16.18%20AM.png) --- ### **Step 5: Manage Pending Users** New users synced from HR appear under **Pending**: ![Screenshot 2025-12-05 at 8.16.42 AM](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.16.42%20AM.png?width=670&height=603&name=Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.16.42%20AM.png) - **Accept:** Adds the user and creates their Linq account. - **Archive:** Moves the user to the **Archived** tab (they can be restored later). You’ll also see timestamps for each pending addition, e.g. *name@domain.com — Added Oct 21, 2025* --- ### **Step 6: Allow Custom Contact Fields (Optional)** At the bottom of the HR settings page, you’ll see the toggle: > **Allow users to add custom contact fields?** > When ON, team members can add personal contact details that differ from the HR-synced data. > > ![Screenshot 2025-12-05 at 8.17.07 AM](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.17.07%20AM.png?width=670&height=119&name=Screenshot%202025-12-05%20at%208.17.07%20AM.png) Turn this off to maintain strict HR-controlled consistency. --- ### **What’s Currently Supported** - Active connection with Entra ID (Azure AD) - Auto-approve new users (or manual approval flow) - Team + Page Template assignments - Attribute sync for name, email, phone, title, location, photo - Manual “Force Sync HR Directory” refresh - Pending / Archived user management - Optional custom contact fields --- ### **Best Practices** - Keep your **directory clean and updated** — each user must have a valid email. - Use **Auto-Approval** for faster onboarding or **Pending Approval** for manual control. - Run **Force Sync** after significant changes in your HR system. - Assign a **default team and page template** for consistent branding. - Use **Archived** tab to temporarily disable users instead of deleting. --- ✅ **Your HR integration is active once you see:** **“Directory Activated”** with a green checkmark and your organization’s user count displayed. ### **Troubleshooting** Ensure all attributes are mapped similarly. WorkOS should have more instructions when originally set up. **![CleanShot 2025-11-19 at 09.57.22@2x](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202025-11-19%20at%2009.57.22@2x.jpg?width=670&height=277&name=CleanShot%202025-11-19%20at%2009.57.22@2x.jpg)**   - [Linq Blue](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-blue?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Linq Blue Subscription](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-blue?hsLang=en#linq-blue-subscription) - [Linq Zero](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-blue?hsLang=en#linq-zero) - [Integration: GHL](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-blue?hsLang=en#integration-ghl) - [Integration: Salesforce](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-blue?hsLang=en#integration-salesforce) - [Integration: HubSpot](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-blue?hsLang=en#integration-hubspot) - [Linq One](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-one?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FAQs](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-one?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Linq App](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-one?hsLang=en#linq-app) - [Admin Dashboard](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-one?hsLang=en#admin-dashboard) - [Products](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-one?hsLang=en#products) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.linqapp.com/linq-one?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [API](https://help.linqapp.com/api?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Sandbox](https://help.linqapp.com/api?hsLang=en#sandbox) - [API Resources](https://help.linqapp.com/api?hsLang=en#api-resources) [![Cube-Linq-w](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Cube-Linq-w.png?width=197&height=88&name=Cube-Linq-w.png "Cube-Linq-w")](https://linqapp.com/?hsLang=en) linqapp.com Help Center Copyright © 2025, Linq
